Christmas Countdown - 2014

[xmas365]

It is still really cold here, so I am looking forward to a warm up & spring

I still love Thanksgiving & Halloween, too. Wish they were honored more, as well.

Hope you have a great day, friend!!

((Hugs))

I love Thanksgiving, but I have issue with the fact I can't enjoy the holiday anymore when black Friday hangs over my head all day long. It almost feels like the day doesn't exist for me anymore. :-o

Oh inventory sounds painfully cold! Glad it went smoothly though.
Enjoy your day off!!!

I was still feeling the cold when I woke up this morning.

 

[xmas365]

work again today.
It is a -27c (-16f) brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I was hoping for some more spring like weather. :-o

Oh well, it will come soon, I hope. I will go to the pines to night and see what Carl is up to and relax in the hot tub to get warm.

Have a great day everyone!

Brrrrrrrrr, keep warm!

Those aren't really blue tights on Jay ... his legs are blue with the cold ...

Good morning MMC! Happy Hump Day & Happy Pines Day! The main boss is gone this morning so it really is a happy day!!! It is bitter cold again this morning, but the sun is shining bright as can be! It looks deceiving from the inside looking out! After work I think I'm going to run to the grocery store, looking for jumbo pasta shells. The store I went too last night didn't have them & I bought everything else to try a new recipe - Mexican Stuffed Shells. I'm planning to bring Gracie along & drop her off at my sisters while I go shop. The vet says that's the best thing you can do to socialize a puppy & make them trust other people. She hasn't seen her yet & was planning to come over tonight anyway, so this might work great! Anyway - I hope you are all having a great morning so far! Enjoy your day!!

And with that, I leave you with this "Photo of the day" (I know, you're probably tired of seeing pics of this little pooch!)

Isn't that always the way? When the boss is gone it is always a good day.

I've never actually seen Keaton smiling!

I think there's something in Fallon's eyes and the "droop" under them that reminds me of Buster.

Here's Buster Keaton smiling (during the silent era, and later in life):

So, I've been watching some of the Tonight Show trying to give Jimmy Fallon a chance. He is alright but I miss Jay. Anyway, MerryCarey, I keep thinking of you because Fallon really looks like Busyer Keaton. I looked it up online and I'm not the only one who sees it. Any of y'all see it, too?

I definitely see it.

One of my favorite lookalikes is the Bill Murray-Edgar Allan Poe comparison.

Good Wednesday (Pinesday!) afternoon, my Christmas friends!

It's wet and cool today, but that's ok. We need a little rain now and then, too (as my mom reminded me this morning).

Lulu is still feeling much better, and we're all relieved. Here's a picture of her posing for last Christmas' card:

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Very cute!

Hello, all! There's really strange weather here today. It snowed like mad until about 11 am, then all of a sudden it stopped and the sun came out. Typical Maryland weather!

I could use a little snow today! It's soooooooo cold/windy! Let it snow! (We have nothing but sunshine!) Hope you are staying warm!

Sooo cuuuute! More photos!!!

:smile: Thanks!

As my friend Tim always says "Fill that lake up!" Glad to hear Lulu is still doing better. What a sweetie!!!

Awe, that's too bad! But understandable! Black Friday is out of control!

Isn't that always the way? When the boss is gone it is always a good day.

Most definitely!! The only day better than a vacation day is your boss' vacation day!

I definitely see it.

The 'you bore me' eyes!!!

Good afternoon,

I finally got my haircut today, I have been de-chia-fied. Woooohooo!!!
I also got my watch battery replaced, I will never go to a jewelry store to replace it again. They charged me $20 to do it!!!! I questioned them about it and she said "Yes, it's for the battery." My jaw hit the floor.

I am psyched that the Bruins season resumes tonight, it felt like forever since they have played. They were off for the Olympic break, so let's go B's!!!

Just taking care of stuff around the house, laundry, kitchen, and so on.

I hope you all are having a good day.

Glad to hear you are de-chia-fied! :lol: Sounds a little steep for a watch battery! Enjoy the game tonight & enjoy the rest of your day !!! Reminder: it's Pines Day, not Tuesday! :smile:

Good afternoon friends! I am on a new computer at work and the keyboard is way too small. So if I make more errors than normal that's why..Although I do have auto correct!lol. Anyways I am trying to decide what to eat tonight for dinner and I think I want tilapia filleys in grits. I love my grits! Anywhere above North Carolina I found people don't really eat them like us deep south ppl do. I like them with butter and salt and pepper and I add the fish fillet do them. I know that is not common at all but I like it! Other than that it's a slow day and I just can't wait for the weekend! it will be my last one at home until Sept so I really want to just around the house and spend time with my family while I can! I was thinking that the boys will have grown a lot in the 6 months I am gone but I have so much to look forward too this next holiday season 2014 I will be 40 and that does NOT make me happy at all but so I plan to just gloss over that the best I can to offset the anxiety of turning 40 I just want this next holiday to be the greatest. and I know it will be! Anyways everyone enjoy the rest of your work day! it's almost over in a few hours!

 

[Bradmac]

Can you find grits in Utah?

 

[Meceka]

Hubby said it will be ready in six months. I am so excited and can hardly wait for the framing to be done and the roof and ceiling to be in place. (We are going with a 10-foot ceiling.) They have just a little more work to complete on the subfloor. The inspector has been pretty cool and has signed off on the construction so far. He will be back to inspect the electrical after the framing and before the drywall. We are both getting excited. Did I tell y'all that we are having a spaghetti sauce cook-off when the kitchen is complete instead of a house-warming?

Your kitchen will be finished before you know it! A spaghetti sauce cook-off sounds like so much fun ~ I'm still searching for the perfect sauce. I'll be a taste tester! cheesy

 

[Meceka]

Ok.ok hmmmm feeling operatic ..

[Meceka]

OK! OK, already! Down, Carl!
