Christmas Countdown - 2014

[made582]

Good evening, MMC!

Just finished washing windows and installing a new mini blind. Palmer is passed out with exhaustion ~ she supervised. cheesy

Cancelled my plans to go to Hallmark this weekend as I am too busy to go. I turned in my Wish List a few week ago and I have until the 20th to pick my order up so hopefully I won't be so busy later in the week. It is going to be much cooler on Tuesday ~ perfect day to spend a few hours walking around in Frankenmuth.

Have a MERRY evening!

Hope things calm down for you soon, Meceka!!!!!

I'm sure Palmer had a fun time supervising!!!!!!

Another thing I must say about us meeting Santa today. He was a very good Santa! I give anyone respect who put on the Santa costume and play the jolly guy but he WAS Santa! He has a real beard, great suit and had the perfect Santa laugh. We saw a star today! :busy:

That was me today at Hallmark! We went to Hallmark today and there he was.... SANTA!!! Santa was there and they had a table full of cookies for the customers and we checked out all the new ornaments. Wayne and I started talking to Santa and told him we are members of a Christmas forum. He asked which one, we told him and he immediately said, "I know Jeff Westover very well"! Santa is a member here but not active, he is active over at Claus Net. What a small world we live in!

After we left there we were just up the road from Southfork Ranch from the show Dallas. Been by it plenty of times on our way to different places but decided to stop because Wayne wanted to get pictures of it for family member in Maryland to see that is a fan of the show.

We also went to Bath and Body Works and bought 2 Heirloom Pumpkin candles. Super yummy smelling and now my house smells like fall! We stopped in Yankee Candle as well and looked around. Dropped by Hobby Lobby to look at fall and Christmas decor. Then went to Starbucks for a frappuccino.

It was a wonderful merry day!

We plan to watch, Angels Sing, this evening.


FYI: I had a very hard time getting on here to post. I will try my best to read some of the post if the site cooperates for me!

Sounds like you guys had a fun time!!!!!!!!! My Hallmark didn't have a Santa or cookies!!!!!!

That's cool that Santa is a member here!!!!

Made, in the past the Hallmarks I have been to when they have their Christmas in July event nothing was going on. Only once, several years ago, one had Christmas music playing which I enjoyed but this was way better! You can't get any better than seeing Santa in July! I was probably more excited than the kids that showed up today. :lol: (I'm sure the kids were happy too!)

Oh yeah, I still have not went out for Mexican food so that means you better show up and take us out for some since you started all this mess getting us hungry for it! :wink: Ha ha!

Good evening! I've just came back from my final training. It made things even more confusing rather than simpler and clearer. The hockey centre, where I'm based at, is not fully set up yet so walking around the venue didn't help much because we know that most of the things will be re-allocated in next few days. Oh, it looks like first couple of days of my shifts will be very messy. Luckily, I got a map of how completed venue will look like so I will try to carefully study it. Maybe it will make things a little bit easier.

Good luck, Victoria!! Thinking of you!

Good afternoon! Hope this finds everyone doing great! Got back into town last night about 5:00, ate supper, played with the Bambina, and fell asleep by 7:00. Paid for it when we all woke up at 2:00 this morning. Baby wanted to play and Daddy wanted to oblige. That went on til about 5:30 a.m. when we all went back to sleep. Haven't been up long! Gotta start packing....turn around and leave again tomorrow. Ugh...



Presenting this week at National High Schools that work. Kinda excited, kinda not. When I was asked earlier this year, it sounded like a great idea. Now that it's time to go, I'm kinda dreading it. I missed the heck out of that little girl last week. New Orleans was fun, the conference was good, but I'm exhausted. No rest for the weary...gotta keep trucking.



I will see yall later on in the day. Hope everyone is doing great!

Hope you have a safe trip, friend!!

Good Afternoon, MMC!!!!!! It's a muggy day here in Central Indy where the rain just arrived. So hopefully it will help with that problem. I spent most of my morning out at my sister's house catching up with my niece's. Then I headed to hallmark to look around. I resisted the urge to buy anything but I came close. Now I'm off to the grocery and maybe Hobby Lobby. I wanted to check in here first though. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!

Did you buy anything?!
Glad you had fun catching up with your nieces!!

xx

It was great meeting you two today at Amy's Hallmark in Sachse, TX! I had a blast, as you can imagine. After you two left, a man who had been in earlier picking up his annual order of ornaments came back in with his granddaughter. I think I got maybe 6 hugs out of her before they left.

Ryan,

I can't tell you how big of a smile those pictures brought to my face. I was there last weekend and it was kind of a letdown!

Thanks!
