Christmas Countdown - 2014

[mommyby3]

Merry Morning!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend and great start to the week! Mr. Festive got back from Italy on Sunday and he had a great time at his best friend's wedding.

I have been doing some decorating in our bedroom. One thing I can tick off my end of year action list Yay!

Yesterday I bought a really lovely large ceramic pumpkin. I plan on painting and glazing it. It's already on the window and I think as the days go by , I will increase the autumn décor around the house. Ok must dash...

Have a great Tuesday guys!

Good morning I put out my fall decor Sunday morning. A little early but I was ready :wink:

Good Morning, Second Weekday Friends.

Can 'Pines Day be tomorrow already?
Seems like it was just here last week.

But one thing that was definitely not here last week was the following count presentation:
Days to the Season: 65
Days to Christmas Day: 107

And last week at this time we were most assuredly not exactly ONE WEEK away from the 100-day
Christmas Day Window and the start of a double-double digit count sequence.
(No, we are definitely not in last week anymore, Toto!)


Well, it rained almost the entire day yesterday with the high temp barely 70 degrees, and that did not
occur until late in the afternoon.
(So much for my planned yard work.)
Today there is a reduced, but still high, chance of more rain.
We are at a rain-free but very damp and cloudy 66 degrees here right now.


Have a Terrific Tuesday, Everybody!
And may the spirit of the Season be your guide today -- and every day.

We have a soft spot for animals here, all 5 of our cats are rescues. I may not be a "dog person" but I do love animals.

You will become a dog person soon! =)

I grew up with cats and considered myself a cat person only but liked dogs and all other animals as well. It wasn't until about 15 years ago that a friend wanted me to babysit her dog for her while she traveled. I became the full time babysitter every time she went out of town. I fell madly in love with her dog and didn't want her to leave when she came to pick her up. That is when I decided to get Chico. (Unfortunately the dog I just lost in February). I am madly in love with dogs and cannot believe I ever went my whole life without a dog. Chico crushed my heart in a million pieces when I lost him. Right this very minute as I type, I have one little dog in my lap, Niles, the other dog, Maris, has her head laying on my lap and smashed up against Niles and my cat, Charlie, right behind my head on the couch. I am surrounded by all this love every single day. I am a dog person and never knew it!!! =)

Somehow I have my laptop in my lap too!!! A bit crowded but it's all good! =)

Enjoy your new baby!

Christmasstar, Beautiful cakes!!!!!!

Good evening!
I just read through the posts quick, its the first time I've had a chance to sit down and relax. I thought it was going to be a pretty quiet day for me but I got an unexpected call from the preschool this morning asking me to come in because they were short handed. I went in to help them out for a few hours and of course my entire day was thrown off. While I was there the school director was begging me to work all five days instead of just Tuesday & Thursday. I originally turned down working all five days because I thought it would be too much for me. This time they offered me shorter shifts on M/W/F instead of full days. I guess I'm going to try it and see how it goes. I have to be back there at 8:00am. I might not be able to pop in here first thing every morning, I'll have to see how it goes. If not I will definitely check in at some point during the day. I hope everyone had a nice day and enjoys the rest of the evening!
Goodnight MMC!

That is great that they like your work so much they want you to be there for them. I know with your schedule you don't want that many hours but I bet it's nice to know they like you being there!

To be honest, I was very hesitant to post the above pictures. I wanted to save them for the Blossoms thread, but I thought it was a little early to save them for that. Moreover, there are only Christmas items on the shelves and no real Christmas decorations that we all know and love. Therefore, I felt OK posting the images a little early. Hope you all enjoyed!!

The Christmas Season is truly on its way. The "creep" has begun! Let's continue to celebrate and enjoy as the "ber" months bring us the joy for which we wait the entire year!

Love the pictures of Christmas goodies. Thanks for sharing!

Almost forgot, Valeirie is on QVC from 1 to 3 edt tomorrow with fall decor.

Thanks for the info!

There's a fall show on at 8 am (central time) this morning too! Maybe not Valerie but it's fall! =)

Thank Stacey. I am going to try and post a photo of the pumpkin on the blossoms thread. How are you? I am thinking of you all (hugs)


Morning! That is the perfect seasonal photo!

Seems like an age HMG! I hope you been well. I thought of you over the summer as I remembered your daughter would be moving. How is she settling in? How are you adjusting? I hope the graduation went well also, I know I'm a bit late!

Thank you for asking, Sam~ We are doing our best to stay positive and remain hopeful, praying an awful lot. I had a really nice talk with Dorothy the other day, and it really reminded me how lucky I am to have her in my life! Thank you for the prayers and hugs, they always mean a lot to me!

I'm glad you decided to post the pictures. Thanks for sharing!! Soooo exciting!!!! :dance: Continued prayers for Bruce & the family!

Good evening,

The usual long day at work today, day off tomorrow, I get a bonding day with Turtle tomorrow. Most of the cats are having a hard time adjusting to Turtle, Gomez especially. He hid for over 24 hours straight, poor thing, he is afraid of his own shadow to begin with so this is really tough on him. Sidney seems to be the only one who likes him so far.
Just listening to some Quo before bed, it is one month from tonight that the Bruins season opens, I cannot wait!


Good night, everyone!!!

Have fun bonding with turtle today!!! :smile: I hope the cats adjust quickly! Have a good day!
