Christmas Countdown - 2014

[HomemakinGirl]

Good afternoon everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter. :] Mine was quiet. I went to the church in the morning and had some lunch with few friends in the late afternoon. It was nice though.

Also, I received my shift timetable at the Commonwealth Games last night. I must say that I will be working quite a lot but that's perfectly okey with me because it means I will definitely get the most out of my volunteering there. :]

I only have few more days left before I start my exam revision. I hope to get my inspiration back and write a generous chunk for the novel. (It's been quite lately in terms of writing.)

I wish you all a nice day! Best wishes, and keep on smiling.

It's good to see you Victoria!
Good luck with the novel & exam revision!
Have a great day!

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

Well, the grass didn't get cut yesterday. A thunderstorm popped up out on nowhere and brought another 1.5" of rain. That Jacob has the luck of the Irish!

Since the grass was then too wet to cut, I grabbed a socket wrench and went out replacing stop signs that have faded. I bet that's what the mayor of New York City does when he has a spare few minutes, don't you? :wink:

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good afternoon Brad, I hope you have a great day as well!

Temps will be up to 86 today so time to open up the house again and air it out! I am trying real hard NOT to run the air conditioner during the day. I am not looking forward to the outrageous electric bills the summer will bring us!

I have to run it at night when it's warm or I just cannot sleep.

I hope you're having a nice day CAH, try & keep cool!

I wonder if Carl has a cure for the common cold ?
Or maybe just something that will make you feel like the cold is a nice thing to have?
I had to stay home from work today, did not think customers would want their cashier to cough all over their groceries.
I am cooking a big pot of chicken soup, put some garlic in it and the house is smelling really good now.

Sending get well wishes xx

Good morning MMC! Happy Hump/Pines Day!!! I'm running behind this morning so I'm sure I have a lot of catching up to day! :smile: I had to take Mom to an eye doc apt this morning. She is having cataract surgery in May & we went to get all her instructions this morning. I DID NOT want to come into work after that. It's such a beautiful, though chilly, sunshiny day!!!

Last night I worked on getting Gracie's wireless fence marked off & I took her for a walk...then went for a 3 mile walk myself! We had leftovers for supper - pretty relaxing night.

Ok, I'm off to read posts. Hope you are all having a great day!!!

Good afternoon Holiday!
Sending up prayers for your mom, I hope her surgery goes well.
Enjoy your day!

Evening all, just popping in as I don't get to say goodnight

I am just making dinner. A quick pasta dish tonight. The kids are washing bottles and cans for recycling. Which means bath time will soon follow as my toddler is involved so you can just imagine water and suds everywhere........

My mum emailed me a photo of Miley (the cat) wearing her custom size Easter bonnet. I just have to post this photo on here for you all to see when I get a chance LOL.

Ok well I hope your day is turning out to be a good one!

Cheers xx

Enjoy your evening Festive!

Good Morning, MMC!!!! It's going to be another beautiful day here with a high in the mid 60's. I've been working on getting my cleaning done all morning. I figured I better knock it out before I got on here in case I get distracted like I did yesterday. I just have a few quick things left to do. I also need to work on figuring out what kind of cake I want to make to donate to my niece's cake walk at their school festival Friday night. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you're getting your cleaning done. I've been working on my chores all day too, just having a coffee break right now. I hope you're having a great day!

Good afternoon!
I was in and out of my house so much yesterday that I ended up falling behind on my chores. I'm just trying to catch up with everything today. Not too much else going on for me. I have a couple of quick errands to run this afternoon as well, then back home to start dinner. A pretty boring day! And I should really get on the treadmill at some point, if I can find the strength. I've been so tired lately!
I hope everyone is well and is having a great day so far!!!

Darn - I had several posts I was going to respond too before lunch & I got the boot! I'm back from lunch & back to reading posts..

Here is what I can remember:
Meceka - we do have a pretty large garden! My sister gardens it with me, but she's the one who's hubby just had the bypass so she wasn't able to help the other night. Thankfully my hubby helped. He's always our "tiller" :smile:

Brad - I hope Jacob mowed the lawn to your specifications! :lol:

Sugar - bummer you had to work on YOUR day! Hope it went well! Hope your birthday was great!

I know there was more but ???

we had to move our celebrations into a hall, we have 55 people to fit in! We have settled on the church hall that is most central to everyone. In this room is a play center for the kids to jump and play on, several game tables (shuffle board, pinball, etc) lots of tables & chairs. A big kitchen. Even a model train running on the track near the ceiling. So something for everyone here. Best of all it is only $50 to rent for the day! (everyone pitches in for that) We do potluck so no one has to do all the work.
We all relax, enjoy the event and go home knowing there is no house to clean up!

Lol! That is what we are refusing to do! It's so impersonal at a hall (at least our halls around here) Metal chairs - big space...we would all rather squeeze in a house. When everyone can make it, we have about 50 people. But all of us have fixed up basement & attached garages, etc which really helps - a bunch! It sounds like the place you rent is very nice. My hubby's family rents a sportsman club, which is much nicer than a hall. Comfy chairs, bar area, pool table, big screen TV's - but many don't come, or they don't stay long like they do at a house - it's just not the same. We'll see what happens!
