Christmas Countdown - 2014

[xmas365]

Haha!! Yep, LOVE this one. I wish the A Christmas Story marathon was on right now!!

:grin:

I just wished it played the version of We Wish You A Merry Christmas that is on at the end of the movie.

Good Morning, Everyone!



Wow. Another week here already.

Not only that, but we're into June.

(More about that from Carl on Wednesday.)



The new week numbers:

Days to the Season: 164

Days to Christmas Day: 206



And these new numbers tell an old story.

A neverending story of the neverending cycle that sees us return time and again to our ever-coveted Christmas Season.

In fact, we now find ourselves under a week off from the 200-day Christmas Day marker and the start of a double-100's count.

(Lots to anticipate, Guys!)





Fantastic weather yesterday.

Low 70's

Plenty of sun.

Low humidity.

No rain.

Birds chirping everywhere.

Great front porch weather, which is where I spent part of my day.

Here's hoping for a nice long continuation but I know those hot, humid, southern days are just ahead.

We have begun this week at a surprisingly coolish 56 degrees here in the capital city.





Have a Marvelous Monday, Each and All!

Thanks, Crown! Hope you're having a great day!

Good morning!
It's going to be mostly sunny today with a high of 72 degrees.
I need to head out soon, I have a routine appointment this morning with my neurologist. Not too much planned after that, I'll just be working on my daily chores. My daughter has a couple of college related things she needs to take care of online. For some reason she couldn't log on to the college website the past couple of days and there wasn't anyone to talk to over the weekend. We'll give them a call when she gets home from school this afternoon, hopefully that will be resolved today!
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!!!

Good morning, HMG! Hope you're appointment went well and hoping your daughters problems get resolved!

Oh Binger, Binger, Binger.....that was one, for the MMC history book! The only thing that could of possibly made that any better, would of been for Jayish to of have been there to see that for himself; "Poor Rudolph, :rudolph:....." (Love ya Sugar!!!):wink:

It will go down in history! Hopefully they'll have something good again this year!

Man, that is insane...... I have never seen one before, and if I do, I hope and pray it's in the middle on no where's and that it won't effect anyone....

That video was taken right down the street from a friend of ours. That was filmed probably seconds before their house was destroyed. They were all safe in their basement when it hit.

Good Morning my Christmas Loving family..... However, it is a Monday! dude, I don't do Mondays very well; ugggggh.

I believe I may cut out of here at noon, and go home. It's going to be a quiet day today and well frankly speaking, I just don't feel like being here today!

Good afternoon! Hope you got to leave early and you're having a great day!

So scary, continued prayers for all.

Good Morning, MMC!!! Not quite as hot today. Just low 80's and storms for most of the afternoon and evening. Not to much planned for me today. I need to run a few errands and then it will be back home to do some work on the computer. I guess I'll do my daily cleaning routine at some point too. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!

DD is in Girl Scouts & the patches are now iron-on, thank goodness!

Today is DD's birthday & she is 9 years old. I told her she is halfway to being a grown up, so this is our "summer of responsibility & independence". We trying to get her to take care of herself & her things more on her own. Being an only child, she's had me to do everything for her because it's easier for me. I'm trying to let go & let her learn how to do things so she'll be able to get along without me someday! She took her first car ride this morning without any type of car seat---just a seat belt like a big kid!

I've been listening to the podcast & Christmas music while walking at night, makes the time pass more quickly.

I hope everyone has a great day.

Xmas, I've been praying you'll find a new job that won't stress you out so much.

Happy birthday to your daughter!!!

It's been a few years since we've been to Myrtle Beach, but Elizabeth's best friend just got home from a week there. They said it was great! I hope you enjoy your trip!

Thanks, Brad. We absolutely love it here. The resort we're staying at this year is a condo and it's just amazing. It's a little on the pricey side, but it has everything. We've actually talked about moving here, but that will be down the road if that happens!

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

I have worked like an ol' dog this weekend again! I took down the big dog pen in the backyard, painted the picket fence and my shop, helped my brother re-wire and re-plumb his new house, and cut the shrubs at home.

While I was cutting shrubs Saturday afternoon, I got in a wasp nest and got stung on the pinky. My whole hand is still swollen, and it hurts! They're gonna get it this afternoon. Grrr.

The Bellville Day Centennial celebration is this weekend. I have to write my speech (you know us mayors like to give speeches), and our band is getting together to play at the event, too! I'm really looking forward to that!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good afternoon, Brad! You have been keeping very busy. Sounds like the celebration will be very nice this weekend! Bet everyone is very excited! Hope you're having a great day!

Good afternoon,

I am taking it easy again today, my foot doesn't hurt as much it did over the weekend. I am really hoping these few days off let the pain dissipate by Wednesday.

Watching "Me, Myself, and Irene" before having to pick up the boys, it has been a while since I have seen this one.

I hope you are enjoying your Monday.

Good morning everyone!



I have a rare day off. I think I should start getting used to these as I highly doubt I will be working this summer. I have work tomorrow and Wednesday, but nothing yet for the rest of the week. I'm sure I will receive some calls throughout the next three days.



It was a busy weekend. We headed down to Waterloo, Ontario for a tournament. We had a lot of fun. It was our first one of the year, so we had a lot of kinks to work out, but, overall it was fairly successful. The highlight for me, however, was finally seeing my best friend from college (I studied Journalism in Kitchener for three years) for the first time since 2006. We've stayed in touch, but never had any opportunities to cross paths. Anyway, I went out for dinner with Kate and her boyfriend on Saturday. It was only about two hours, but it was great to catch up in person. I also visited a friend from teachers college afterward. Sometimes, you forget how good it is to speak to friends you don't see much in person.



The ride home was fairly stressful. We listened to the first two periods of Game 7 in the Kings vs. Blackhawks series on the radio. I was going fairly crazy. Thankfully, we arrived home in time for the start of the third period... and wow. It was incredible to see the Kings tie it up and then win in overtime. I'm excited to see them back in the Finals. It should be a great series against the Rangers!!



Well, I hope everyone remembered to flip their calendars yesterday. We're closing in on so much. That 200-day marker is fast approaching, as Crown has made us aware, and Christmas in July is so soon, too! Until then.... how about this beautiful weather?!?



Have a great Monday, everyone!!

Good to see you, Brent. Hope you dibs some work coming your way. Glad to hear you got to catch up with some old friends.
