Christmas Countdown - 2013

Crown 84 · Feb 9, 2013

Good Morning, Singular Saturday Super Stars.

Ready for a great weekend, snow or no snow?

Bigger question --- are you ready for this?
Days to the Season: 277
Days to Christmas Day: 319
Now under half a week off from the 1/4 Season Milestone, number 2 on our handy-dandy post #1 chart.
(My goodnes but we are moving right along through the year, aren't we?)

Continued cool yesterday, but really not bad weather for February. Certainly alot better than those in the NE are facing!
We show 33 degrees here currently, with a cooler high predicted than yesterdays.

OK!
You -- each and every one -- have a Sensational Saturday and a simply Wonderous Weekend.
And may the spirit of the Season be your guide and inspiration!

Good evening, friends.

Hope you are all having a good evening, and staying safe & warm!

We are currently at 9°. Tomorrow is supposed be sunny with a high of 29°. Our nasty weather comes on Sunday, with a wintry mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain. That's ok, I plan to stay in, do some Valentine's Day baking for Adrian. He gave me my gift early, one that he made. I have to share, it was so thoughtful of him! And I love it.

Tomorrow night, we are going out for our Valentine's Day dinner. We love discovering new places. We never go out on the actual day, just celebrate in our own way. And we always try to make our own gifts.

What are your weekend plans?

For all of you in the wake of the blizzard, take good care of yourselves.

XO

sounds wonderful! Enjoy your time together.

Piles and piles of snow everywhere, more than I have seen for many years. It all looks so pretty!

Well I'm going to head to bed and pray that I don't get a call to go bail Sugar out of jail for rushing the stage and tackling Luke Bryan tonight.

I bet you get that call to bail her out! :snowball

Wayne and I had been planning all week to ride our bikes today but we both have a cold. Nothing major but just not feeling 100%. We slept in, just woke up about 15 minutes ago. We will see how we feel after we get some coffee and breakfast. No matter what, we will make the best of it and have a good day together!!!

The coverage on the Weather channel are unbelievable with all the snow! We are still praying for those that are dealing with this situation!

Monday is the most important day, I have a vacation day so we can celebrate your birthday at Benihana! It's a couple of days early, but that's okay.

Will catch up with reading posts later, just wanted to check in. We lost power for a few hours overnight, but got it back around 7 a.m., so we're warm and safe. The storm is winding down, but we have a few inches coming yet. Mr. went out to shovel---it was very difficult for him to shove the door open a few inches against the snow. Front and back door have knee-high-plus snow across them. I'll go out later to take pictures when the doors are passable. Public transportation will not be running today, and the driving ban is expected to remain in effect all day. The drifts are incredible. I don't know how much we got because of the drifting.

xmas365 and all New Englanders, I hope you're warm and safe. Looks like today will be shoveling and movies. Nobody's going anywhere for a while.
