Christmas Countdown - 2013

[sugar142286]

sounds good but I would have to take some major nexium after eating something that spicey. I miss being young enough to eat what I wanted without worries of heartburn! but that does sound really good,I think I am going to head to the kitchen for a evening snack now.

I remember the days of that too! I get major heartburn now too, but just deal with it or take something as well. I have to have my hot and spicy food!

Hi everyone! How is everything? My notebook broke down....and I hate typing long messages on the smartphone.
Lots of typos and and and.....that s why I did not post the last few days.
I gotta find somebody to look at it....and if it cannot be fixed....need to get a new one.

Hey good to see you back, been wondering where you were. I understand what you mean about typing on the phone, I'm the same way with the tablet. Fingers crossed you get it fixed.

Morning all!! Hope this finds everyone well! A week to go until the kids are back at school!! These hols seem to have flown by, I had all sorts of plans to meet up with other mums and kiddies and I havent managed any meet ups!!

The hubby is at hospital this afternoon, he had a MRI scan on his knee about 4 weeks ago now so going for the results later today!! Been told worse case senario is a ligament reconstruction?? think thats what the consultant said anyway! Hopefully it wont be as bad as that and its something they can treat easier!!

119 days to go!! The season will be upon us in no time!! and I for one am soooo ready for it lol!!!!

Have a great day all xxxx

Hope he received good news!

so cool, turned on TV and breakfast television was playing "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" !
Apparently some store in Manhattan whose music was controlled by their head office had it playing in all their stores and they could not get it turned off, LOL

Good afternoon everyone! So glad the workday is over just 3 more to go until the long Holiday weekend! Schools around here started back yesterday and I can't believe how much traffic that added to my usually short commute but I need to leave a little early now in the mornings. Not much to really else comment on except over the weekend we went to Petsmart and they have their Halloween pet costumes out and they are so cute....Snowball and Kylee must HATE Halloween around here cause they get costumes and when we take their pictures you can see the looks of disdain on their faces it's like we are degrading them or something...I have not decided what to get them this year but we stayes and looked forever I bet they get even more in before late October. I don't know what is for dinner tonight I bet I am cooking too!!!

good morning! I will have to check out those costumes, it is funny putting one on Pocket, she will just fall over sideways and not move when it first goes on.
School here starts on September 3, and you are right the traffic gets crazy then. I no longer have anyone school age, I can just sit back and watch now. cheesy

Good rainy evening, MMC!

It is still storming out. :???:

My plans to make spaghetti sauce are on hold - I'd hate to lose electricity right in the middle of the sauce making as I tend to make a bit of a mess and I really don't want to wake up to piles of dirty dishes. A few are okay, but not sink fulls! I forgot to pick basil, too, and I can't have sauce without basil! I'd rather the rain, though! Good night to relax and catch up on my reading.

we had rain and storming last night too, no power out though. Hopeyou get that sauce done today.

If you're using medium weight (worsted weight) yarn, a 5.0mm hook (U.S. size H) might be easier to work with. A 4.0mm hook works better with a thinner yarn (sport weight). (Seawaters, correct me if I'm wrong!)

thank you. I have been looking at some online lessons

Going to the store today to check out some different yarns

I know what you mean, I too dislike typing on my phone, makes me go cross eyed!
Other than computer problems, how are things out your way?

Good Morning, Happy Hump-Day Hooligans.

Yes indeedarino.
We have again reached the mid point of our week just as we are nearing the end point of August.
Carl has recognized this fact and has installed a "transitions" theme onto this evening's open house.
He's a bit mysterious as to the exact content but rest assured with Carl involved it will be -- well -- interesting, if not provocative.

The count:
Days to the Season: 77
Days to Christmas Day: 119

And as the count itself tells us, we are only 19 days short of the grand opening of the final Window before Christmas, the 100-day Christmas Day marker.
Wowippers!


Still warmer and more humid yesterday as Summer has launched a comeback. At least there has been no rain with a low chance from here on to the weekend.
A glance at our thermometer reveals we have started today at 71 degrees.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Folks!
Enjoy the 'Pines this evening.

I recommend you get what you are comfortable with and enjoy using. Now that you need a new one you can get the latest model with all the upgrades.

I have not watched numbers for a long time, that used to be quite popular in this house.
I have to clean up the house too and then get out and check all the camping stuff before we leave to set up camp tomorrow.
I love when family comes to visit (well most of them!), hope you have a great visit.

Good Wednesday Afternoon.....or Morning if you are across the pond.

So an update to my Monopoly mishap lol. They will send a courier to collect the wrong one they sent me and they are resending the correct limited edition version. I just hope that it is the right one this time. Fingers crossed !

How is everyone today? I just finished doing an online supermarket shop and I noticed that they added on a Christmas Chocolates and Sweets section. There was only a few tins of the traditional chocolates bought here around christmas but it made my day !! It is creeping in slowly.....I imagine they should start with Halloween soon!

I can not believe that it is only 77 days till the start of the season! I am really excited for this weekend as it marks the start of September!

Well see you all at the Pines tonight. Have a great day! xxx
