Christmas Countdown - 2014

[MerryCarey]

Yikes. Hope you can get a good night's sleep. Take good care of yourself!

Hope you get out a lot earlier than that tomorrow!!!!!


Goodnight!!!!

Thank you both!

I slept pretty well, when I finally got to sleep. (I had some paperwork to do yet when I got home that couldn't wait.) After a light supper I had a mug of warm vanilla milk, and I think that helped a lot.

As for taking care of myself, Mr. helps to see to that, bless him!

And I hope I get out a lot earlier this evening too, but who can tell. Multiple projects are on incredibly fast tracks, and clients today want instant turnaround on things. When things are in a rush, a steady, experienced eye is even more important. Hoping I can save an hour or two to relax on my day off on Friday, after doing the things that have to be done that day. Can't sleep in on Saturday---gotta be up bright and early for the piano tuner! I hardly ever get to play, but I get the piano tuned each year before Thanksgiving to keep it in good repair and so I can play a little Christmas music.

Can y'all believe we are a little more than a day away from the start of the season?

As the great Harry Carey said, "Holy Cow!"

We love Harry Carey in our house. He's good in any film he's in, from Capra to drama to serials to westerns! (And he's a Carey!)

Heading into work for the next 15 hours . Hope everyone's days better than mine.

You have me beat---I only did 12 hours yesterday!
Hang in there! I hope tomorrow will be better for you.

Good Wednesday morning all. One more day. Now that we are here, sure wish time would slow down.

Still too warm here but the cold front hits us tonight and much better temps are forecast for the next 2 weeks. Should not get out of the 30s on Friday. cheesy

Wife and I are getting the house ready for this weekend. Ethan is bringing 3 friends home from college. All 3 are city folks so our area will be a culture shock for them. We may get snow Saturday night so the kids could get a taste of parking at the bottom of the mountain and walking up.

We had a bear in the yard a couple of nights ago. They are trying to fatten up for the winter. The kids hope to see one but I'm not wild about bears in the yard. I usually fire my shotgun into the ground to scare them off. You don't want them to lose their fear of people.

Have a blessed day all.

Hope Ethan and his friends have fun this weekend and that the bear doesn't return!!!!


Enjoy the cooler weather when it gets there!!!!!

Good Morning, MMC!!!!! It's going to be a cold one here with a high in the mid 30's. We are sitting at 31 right now. I don't have to many plans for today. Just want to work on a few projects and make out a grocery list for the store tomorrow. I may do some baking too. I have some apples that need to be used up, so I'm thinking of making some kind of coffee cake with them. Then tonight, I hear there is some kind of party or something going on. So I might try to make an appearance at it. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

going to cold here too, was 14c (57f) yesterday and woke to -1c (30f) but temps are going down even more to -7 (19f) and I love this prediction, we may or may not get snow. hmmm, so if the weather guy is not sure how are the rest of us supposed to know ?

have fun with the baking, I will be finishing off the cake today and tomorrow, hoping today.

Good morning!! I'm going to jump in quick again to say "Happy Hump & Pines Day!!!" before I read allllllll the posts I have to catch up on! Lol

Let me start by saying.... It's Flurrying outside!!!!!!!!! Whoop Whoop! :???:

We had such a fun day yesterday. There were 8 of us that went, which is a smaller crowd than normal, but we had a blast. The stores were crazy busy! Kohls had such good deals... as we were walking in one of the neighbors said yesterday was supposed to be better than Black Friday at Kohls b/c on top of the Veterans Day sales, we had 30% off (which they usually don't have 30% off available on BF) ~ it was a zoo in there. Then my sister texted that she was at our local Kohls here & she said it was worse than Black Friday. LOL! Of course I spent too much... My neighbor helped carry my packages in last night & my hubby says "I see that I don't want to see the credit card bill" :lol: Right on buddy!!

Have a GREAT day everyone!! I'm off to read....

This being remembrance day, we had a moment of silence at the store where all staff stopped what they were doing and reflected on the amazing sacrifices made by so many men and women so we could live free.
It was great, except for the customer in front of me when it was announced. He tried to make me keep working, loudly declaring that he did not agree. I said I did, took a step back and bowed my head. I could hear him continue to rant about how he was German and they lost so he had nothing to be thankful for. I was obviously for war since I wore a poppy indicating war and lost blood. Any country that believed in Jesus should not glorify war. This was a waste of time and he was not happy. When the time was over I rang him though and gave him his change, saying nothing to him. I was deeply offended. He then declared me rude for not thanking him for his business.
After he left the other customer just shook her head and said wow, really?
I wondered why he was living in Canada if his home country was so great.
Anyway, I took a time out to settle down.
When I came home I found this posted on facebook and want to share it with him, but he is not here so I will share with you instead

You always have to stand up for what you believe in!

Can't wait, friend! [emoji318][emoji319]

:sparkle:Merry Morning! Happy Pines Day!

Day before the season! Wow. Are we really here? I remember in January how far away it seemed to be.

Tonight is going to be rocking at the Pines!!!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Good morning, Festive and Happy Pines Day to you too! Hope you have a great day too!

 

[sugar142286]

Good morning everyone. I can't wait to see what Carl has in store tonight, being the day before the season!

I hope you all have a great day!

Hope you have a great day too, Ryan!

 

[sugar142286]

I haven't posted in so long, I hope you are all well! :merry:

We had Bonfire night in the UK last week and it was such a wonderful night, lots of fireworks, great food and mulled wine. The next day it was like Christmas had exploded all over every shop! :wink: Decorations were out, all the festive food, Christmas music playing... I just love this time of year and really don't want it to go by too fast.

Let's make Christmas 2014 the best one yet!

Great to see you, JOHNOR! Hope all is well!

 

[sugar142286]

Good morning, MMC!
We are expecting snow on & off throughout the week here, it's a white Christmas already! It is currently 11 degrees, brrr! Think I'll make some coffee, turn on the tree, and sit by the fire.
Wishing you all a blessed & beautiful day!

Good morning!
I straightened up the house, started laundry and put dinner in the crock pot so far. I'm heading out soon to run a few errands and then I'm going to the mall to do some shopping, I want to take advantage of my day off. I picked up a few things yesterday but the stores were too crowded because of Veterans Day so I figured I'd go back today. Hopefully it won't be so bad. I have so much to do to get ready for Thanksgiving and my daughters birthday is coming up as well. Such a busy time. I love it though!
I'll pop back in this afternoon, I hope everyone has a great day!

Happy Birthday Xmastidings, I hope you have a fabulous day! :yahoo:
