You got it, my friend.
Day 4 before the Season - Nov. 9th.

 

[Crown 84]

Crown, I'd like to have a day for a special post....doesn't matter to me which day...

Crown, with that being said....I had one last year....if there aren't enough to go around, I will give mine up....

OK.
How about Day 2 before the Season, Nov 11?
I'll tentatively pencil you in but if someone else really wants to try a post, will let them have it.

I saw in the Sunday paper ads today an ad for Yankee Candle and they have a new scent, Turkey & Stuffing!!!

I have been wanting that scent for years!!!!

I can't wait to give it a sniff test.

:razz:

I guess it's no coincidence that it looks a lot like a jar of turkey gravy!

Good Lunch Time My most favourite MMC Gang!

How are you doing?

Can't believe it is monday already. Why are the weekends always over much too soon? I was much to lazy this weekend and didn't get half of the planned stuff done. I was too caught up in "Fall of Giants" by Ken Follett.

Anyway I try to stay on top of my work load today and looking forward to my evening. Tonight I won't say up long as I didn't sleep very well last night.

Is Crossing Lines only where you live? Hubby and I love many crime series that are on TV in our area. Congratulations on the Bible quiz win. I love those!

I think all of us feel the same about MMC. I used to think I was the only one that loved Christmas as much as I do! It is so nice to be able to talk to people each day of the week who are of like minds!

Crossing Lines is a joint project of the German TV station Sat1, the French TV station TF1 and NBC. In europe the show got very good ratings. On NBC it only run during the summer break and I think therefore the ratings weren't that good. As far as I know the first season will be shown on two Canadian tv stations in the fall line-up. I'm not sure if NBC will work on the second season, as they are not satisfied with the ratings. Anyway there just has to be a second season!

The show centers around a special investigation team from the ICC. Each team member from another european country (besides one) police organisation.

Wiliam Fichtner from Prison Break is playing one of the characters. I never watched Prison Break and didn't know this actor before. But he became my favourite character in the show (with former IRA terrorist turned police officer) and he is such a great actor. On top of that he is just hot (eventhough he is wayyyyyyy to old for me). And Donald Sutherland plays the big boss in the show.

I also ordered the first season of Homeland. In Germany and Switzerland the second season is running at the moment. But the time frame is stupid. I heard from friends, that this show is amazing and want to give it a try.

Well it's Friday afternoon at work and I am almost out of here! Terribly busy day and so looking forward to this weekend. I kind of hesitate to bring this up but as we all are so excited about this season change of fall and leading up the Holidays I just realized and it hit me hard that cm3 won't be here with us this year. I mean I do think about her everyday but the thought that she won't be here for us to share it kind of just smacked me in the face just now. I know everyone here misses her but it's really sinking in with me that she really is gone. The first Holiday after a loved one has passed are always the hardest I know from when my Dad died. I hate to bring it up because I don't really want to bring the atmosphere down. It just don't seem right that she is not here talking about her furbabies well I will talk to yall soon as I get home and situated!

Made and the others have already written such eloquent posts, that I just wanted to say that I know how you feel.

Thanks, Ryan. I am glad this is the meal that my husband likes to do since I really do not feel well. He is marinating the hens right now in a Jack Daniels teriyaki marinade.

I hope you get better real soon!

Good morning!
Cold here this morning with (19.4F /-7c)
But it is so beautiful!!
We are driving back home this afternoon
because Thomas have to work this evening...

So how are you doing?
Had a great weekend?? I hope so❤

Wow, is your cabin there? It looks so peaceful and pretty! - 7 Celsius? Wow we are far far away from that. Here it's around 14-15 Celsius. I'm envious now!

oh I got a catalogue from the all-year christmas store in Heidelberg and Rothemburg.........awesome stuff....just very, very costy.....I would buy everything..........they even have a Bratwurst in the bun ornament....wearing a Santa Hat....I doubt I would buy that....but I had a good laugh about it!!!

Do those stores have an online shop?

Good morning! It's early but I could not sleep. I will however probably try to get another catnap in before breakfast. I meant to tell yall what happened to me on Friday. I received my "Halloween" catalog from yankee candle company which had a coupon of "buy two get two free" and I put it in my wallet for safe keeping, well I just realized it has to be used by TODAY the 29th. So Friday I went to the nearest Hallmark store saw 4 candles an went merrily to the counter to purchase them only to find out they do not "honor" those coupons. after arguing with the 19 year twits about 10 minutes I left and then went to the Cracker Barrel and they said the same thing until I talked to the manager who then talked to his district manager who then talked to his regional manager who finally said just honor them and give me a $50 gift card from the cracker barrel. I know a lot of you are asking why I didn't just go to the nearest Yankee Candle factory store which is what I was going to do if push came to shove....it's because it's an hour drive from where I live I do wish the stores that sold yankee candles and the company itself would work on the same page, they are too expensive for me to by unless they are on sale. I wait all year for that promo too! I have to really watch myself or I could spend thousands of bucks on their candles. I ended up getting Pumpkin spice...Apple pumpkin....Autumn Wreath... and trick or treat! Well sorry for the rant just wanted to tell of my experience! Have a good morning everyone!

I can only afford to buy the yankee candle samplers. Everything els is way to expensive. I just lit up the Autumn Wreath, love the scent!

86 days already, where on earth has this year gone?
I have recently found out that Im expecting too, Im only currently 7/8 weeks so fingers crossed everything goes well next Christmas we will have our own little bundle of joy to spoil

Congratulations! I hope you and the baby are staying safe and healthy!

watching NCIS at the moment....today DiNozzo and Ziva are in Berlin....and for whatever reason DiNozzo bought some Lederhosen (those bavarian leatherpants) that have absolutely nothing to do with Berlin

loool I was thinking the same thing yesterday evening. Typical!! Did you watch NCIS LA as well? I completely lost track on both shows as I missed many episodes lately.

Oh boy my age is really starting to show. As most of you know my wife brandi is a few years my junior like 15. Okay so that puts her and her sister that is even 3 years younger than her in early to mid 20's. I did not really know until today how much different that really is. I mean they don't even remember before the internet!!! We had a great time sight seeing and all but my energy level is not what it was when I was 23. I'm in great shape and try to make it to the gym 3 days a week, but even still there is still a big difference. I am about to drop face down in the floor and they are talking about going to the movies tonight. I bet they are whispering in the next room about the"old man" brandi married.lol Yeah so I know I am being dramatic but it's just so funny how time flies by and before you know it your not one of the lucky ones that just jumps out of bed looking fabulous anymore. We are at the age where you have to actually work at looking presentable!!! Anyway I am staying home with the boys and we are going to have a great time watching "Christmas vacation" and bro in law and sis in law and Brandi are going to the movies...I am actually looking forward to work tomorrow!!! I hope everyone has had a great Sunday!

Looool this sounded so funny. I'm the youngest in my team (I'm 26 years old) and some of my co-workers often think they are old too, when we talk about music or things like that. Like when I tell them that I listened to a certain song during my high school.

Well I'm not pregnant but I have that same problem if I buy Chocolate candy to early before halloween!!!!!

What should I do then? I'm having this problem all year long with every kind of chocolate! And I can't blame it on a pregnancy either. On the other hand, I'm still 26 years old, so my body should still be able to bear it. ;-)

BTW I wanted to correct one thing I said. Me and Brandi are not 15 years apart in age. I am 38 almost 39 in Dec. She will be 26 in a few weeks so we are more like almost 13 years..15 sounds like so much!! This would have been her 4th year teaching school. Age is something me and her never think about we have so much in common. I just wanted to correct the error. I am 15 years older than her youngest sister!!!! Have a great night everyone I will still pop in after the movie us boys are going to watch...(mainly just me)lol

I don't think age matters. As long as the two of you fit so well together why worrying about the age?

I saw in the Sunday paper ads today an ad for Yankee Candle and they have a new scent, Turkey & Stuffing!!!

I have been wanting that scent for years!!!!

I can't wait to give it a sniff test.

Uh ohh, I can't image how this can smell nice. Guess it's because I'm Swiss.

Anyway I'm happy you like the scent.

No it's not cause your Swiss..I am trying to imagine how it could smell nice..except perhaps in the confines of the kitchen..! But none the less I still can't wait to see how exactly they can fit turkey and stuffing into wax!

Good Morning, New Week Friends and Home Stretch Anticipators!


Yes Folks, the anticipation is building at a faster rate than you might expect.
(Better check on those stats before things get away from us!)
Days to the Season: 44
Days to Christmas Day: 86

One week from today, Friends.
The 90 percent mark to the Season.
(It really just doesn't seem possible we could be at this point so soon!)


Still cool and comfortable.
Almost too cool in the mornings really, but truly nice by the afternoon.
It is predicted to get gradually warmer during the week and we should return to at least the low 80's at some point.
We have begun the new week at 55 degrees here in the capital city.

Have a Marvelous Monday, Everybody.
Hope your week is off to a great start!
