Good evening,

Another busy day here, sans work. I stayed home all day today, I got the AC cover put on, cleaned all the leaves off the driveway, got the rest of the stuff in the backyard put away for the winter. I finally got the lights up on the roofline, the three trees set up in the front yard, the Santa blowmold, Rudolph, and the the wreaths are up and the final door is wrapped. I am bushed, but it was all for Christmas so it was worth it.

Tomorrow I have an extended day at work for Thanksgiving/Black Friday, with the snowstorm coming I really don't know what to expect for customers. I will be taking the Equinox in to work because of the snow, because it has all wheel drive. The schools have already called the day for tomorrow, so I won't have to worry about my wife and kids being out in the slop.

I have seen both the M&M/Santa commercial and the Hershey Kiss bells commercial today, it really is Christmastime!!!

Kohl's has my favorite new commercial of this year so far, the Strange Magic commercial.

That's great that you got so much done, today!
Bet your house looks festive!

Drive safe tomorrow, hope all goes well at work.

Love that commercial!

Sleep well! Goodnight!

Thanks, Buddy!!! I've been chasing the wires and can't find a break. The lights are led and can't be changed. So I may just disconnect the small lights from the battery box and leave the big candle hooked up.

Good evening everyone. My boss called earlier and asked me to work tomorrow. I'm going to go in for a few hours to help them out. I'm kind of nervous because I have a lot to do and its definitely going to throw my day off. We're also expecting some snow so that's not going to help either. Oh well, I'm sure everything will work out. I'll try & pop in before work. I hope everyone is well and had a nice day. Enjoy the rest of the evening. Goodnight!

Thank you!
I am SO grateful. First, the job that I was expecting to keep me late tomorrow came in late today, so I stayed late to go ahead and finish it. Second, I'm allowed to work from home tomorrow---so I can get up a little later and stay out of the snowstorm. We're expecting 4 to 8 inches, but some of that will be sleet as it changes over from rain to snow, so driving will be difficult.

Then comes Thanksgiving and tree trimming and wrapping and cards, all to the accompaniment of music, movies, and Christmas old-time radio … a holiday-immersed three days! I really need to decompress, and all that will help.

A little magic is returning. I listened to about half of the latest Merry Podcast on the way to work this morning. I listened to the rest on the way home, and it ended JUST as I reached my driveway. I also saw a beautifully lighted front yard on the way home. And Kringle Radio just played "Don't Give Me No Goose for Christmas, Grandma," which reminds me of a dear departed friend of Mr. and myself who was a Christmas nut. (He would have LOVED MMC.) Things are looking up.

So glad to hear you'll be able to work from home tomorrow and know that you'll be in the safety of your own home!

What a beautiful song to remind you of your friend!

Errands have been ran. All of the furniture in the living and dining rooms has been moved and vacuumed underneath. Everything on the kitchen counters has been taken off and the counters scrubbed including the microwave. The dryer, the freezer, the fridge, and the stove have all been pulled out and scrubbed underneath. Laundry is done. Now I think I need a nap before I start making my macaroni salad. LOL!!!!!

It sounds all s very exciting! Hope today runs smoothly with all your prep.

Hey Crown ... Are you getting hit ?

Happy pines day. Some dinner plans being made for tomorrow I assume. Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning MMC ~
I have a feeling it's going to be a crazy busy day. I'll be working this morning, which was unexpected. I'll stop at the butcher on the way home to pick up my turkey. I'm usually there first thing in the morning, hopefully it won't be too crowded later. I also need to call the veterinarian as soon as they open to see if I can get Maggie in there this afternoon. I was up all night with her, I think one of her ears might be bothering her. The poor thing. And if I have time I wanted to run to Pier 1 Imports, there were a couple of more things I wanted for the kitchen. That might not happen though, it's definitely not a priority. And of course I'll be cooking all night. Busy, busy, busy. But it's all good stuff!
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Good Morning MMC !!!
This is the last Pines day of November, wow, almost into the last month of 2014 !
Happy about dancing with the stars results, won't say it here incase you have not seen it yet.
Union meeting last night was good, love that they do it electronically, can sit at home and listen and take part in it and never have to get out of my pjs !
Only working a half day today unless someone does not show up for their shift again. I have a gingerbread house to bake later today.
-1c (30f) this morning, no rain, no snow.

So have a fantastic day everyone !1
