Christmas Countdown - 2014

[sugar142286]

Good morning,



I head to work in a few, to fight the turkey rush.



Hard to believe we are nearly 14.5 hours away from the season, Christmas is popping up everywhere, I love it! I will be back on tonight after work, I will try to stay up for the welcoming in of the season. I fell asleep again last night while on the computer, so staying up has been tough lately. cheesy



I shall be going, see you all tonight.



Have a great day!!!

Good morning, Xmas! Hope your day goes well! See you tonight!

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!

Wow! You've been busy!
Enjoy your day off [emoji173]️
Have a wonderful day!

Glad to hear that you slept pretty good!!!!

Hope all of the projects today can get done during normal business hours!!!

Thanks, me too!
If a lot of client feedback comes out of today's meeting, though, there may be another marathon. It's time-sensitive stuff, in response to a news story that broke last week. Print ads, bus shelter ads, T-stop posters, web banners, a page takeover, a direct-mail piece, door hangers, a landing page, a four-page foldout spread---all on a hot hot hot schedule.

Good afternoon! :

Good morning, Solice! Hope you're having a great day!

And finally, a belated Wednesday hello to everyone.
(Today I got the day right. Still wish it was Thursday, though.)

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.

Good morning, mgramsey! That's exciting Ethan and his friends will be coming to visit this weekend. Hope you, your wife, and the boys enjoy the visit!

Have 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.

Have fun with finishing the cake!

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....

Good morning, Holiday! Happy Pines Day! Glad to hear you had a great time yesterday and found some great deals! Have a great day!

While our view of Santa evolves as we move through the various stages of our lives, the early memories do indeed keep the Christmas season special and a little bit of magic always lingers in the recesses of our minds.

Really good special post, x-mas365!

Agee agree agree!!

Winter in Wisconsin truly is beautiful!! [emoji300]️

Made it to work safe. The snow continues! [emoji301]️

Beautiful Snowflake!!! Stay safe!

This is the Tower of London in honour of our Remembrance Day. It took months to do. Beautiful skyline and view isn't it.

Good morning, friends! Not much going on here today. Just doing some housework and DS and I are watching Hallmark/HMC.

I'm looking forward to tonight! It should be a great party!

Hope you all have a great day!

Don't let it go to waste, treat yourself to something Christmassy!
Have a wonderful day!

Oh, it definitely did not go to waste. I had a $10 coupon, a $5 coupon, 30% off & I saved 400 & some odd dollars on my purchases! :lol: GEESH!!!

Then Bernie wanted us to pickup some turkeys for him to smoke and sell at the store. We bought twenty-one 15-18 pound turkeys! People were giving us the craziest looks as we rolled all that down the aisle! The guy in the meat market got away from us as fast as he could. We had him helping sort the turkeys by weight.

I'm thankful for our veterans, especially today!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

I bet that was quite a site!!!

Thanks Snowflake!
We're sticking with a neutral color to be safe. We picked a color called creamy icicle, I'll post pictures when it's finished!
I hope your day is going well!

I love the name of the paint!! :grin:

Heading toward another 9+ hour day ... well, call it job security. (Update: Maybe 10+ hours. And maybe be here an hour or two early tomorrow ...)

I have a day off on Friday, but I have to take my car to have the damage appraised, then take the paperwork and arrange to get it fixed. Well, it serves me right for being clumsy on Monday.

One good thing is that when I finally get out of here tonight, I can listen to Christmas music all the way home. And celebrate because Mr. was hired by a temp agency today, so he'll soon be getting assignments from them. My workplace uses that agency, so he'll probably be covering for me during some of my days off in December, if he's not otherwise assigned.

I'm sure that is not what you had planned for your day off. I hope it goes very well!! And I hope you enjoyed the music on your drive home last night ~ AND today is a better day!!! Congrats to your hubby!
