Christmas Countdown - 2014

[HomemakinGirl]

Good Morning, Friendly Friday Folks.

Weekend Eve.
It's here once again.

So are the latest count documents.
They indicate the following:
Days to the Season: 104
Days to Christmas Day: 146

Now barely over half a week remains until the 100-day Season Window is opened and we start on our double-digit count to Christmas Season 2014.
My! My!


A touch of rain early yesterday evening. Otherwise, another nice day as the humidity continues to hold off.
Might be a wetter one today.
We have begun at 70 degrees under overcast skies here this morning in the capital city.


Have a Fantastically Fabulous Friday, Friends!
And a Wonderous Weekend Eve as well.

Thanks Crown, I hope you have a great day!

Thanks for the countdown Crown. It's getting closer, and I can't wait.

Today I'm off to work at job number 2 this morning.
It is suppose to rain all day here in NC, but it is cooler also.

Off tomorrow to Charlotte to watch Liverpool FC soccer game. The kids can't wait. I do hope the rain clears out so we have a good day.

Hope everyone has a great Friday:thumbsup:

Happy Friday mommyby3!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Good evening!
Yay, I'm back! My Tapatalk wasn't working last night. Then I tried to log on from my laptop a couple of times this morning but that wouldn't work either. Anyway, everything seems to be fine now. I hope I didn't miss anything important. I've been super busy. My daughter still feels awful so I've been taking care of her all day and trying to keep up with everything else around here. I'm also dorm shopping still for my youngest whenever I get the chance. I'm beat! I can't wait until things slow down and are back to normal.
I've been having a hard time keeping up here, you've all been in my thoughts. I hope everyone is well and had a nice day. I'll try to pop back in later if Tapatalk lets me!
Enjoy the rest of your evening!

Hope your daughter starts feeling better SOON! And I hope today is less crazy for you!!

Thought you guys would get a kick out of them! I think they're cute =]

They ARE cute!

The weather was so perfect today that my mom and I took the kids to the park. My mom and I joined the kids climbing and sliding down the slides. They have these springy things that you rock back and forth on. (pictured below). My mom and I sat on them - I sat on the duck and my mom on the motorcycle and we started rocking on them. :lol: (they are not as small as they look in the picture). We wanted to see how the kids would react to us sitting on these. What was comical is that our grandkids didn't think a thing about it, they were not phased by us playing on these or embarrassed. I guess grandma and great grandma seemed normal to them. Ha ha!!!


When we left the park we went to the library. They had some outdoor activities, sidewalk chalk art and blowing bubbles followed up with popsicles for the kids.

I am exhausted today! I hope I get a good nights sleep, I need it!!!


I hope you all have had a nice day!


.

I hope your fun day was ended with a good nights sleep! :smile:

On a completely separate, much more upbeat matter.....

I purchased three Christmas presents today.

For me, it has started.

WOO HOOO!!! I bought my 1st Christmas gift last weekend! :grin:
Glad to hear your Dads surgery went well. Wishing him a speedy recovery!

end to a stressful day, going to bed, maybe by morning it will all have just been a bad dream

Hope today is a better day!!

Thanks Holiday!

Good Morning and Happy Friday MMC!

Good evening,

It was a long day today, I am feeling worn down and a little under the weather. Everyone is home, I am happy.
I hope to spend more time here tomorrow.

Good night, all.

Hope you are feeling better today!

Yep!!! We just entered August here and with that, it also marks the end of QVC's Christmas in July. Boo!!!!


Does that mean I have to take my table top Christmas tree down now?

NO!

Good morning MMC! It's been a while since the last time I was there. Apologies for that but my days have been quite hectic. Most of my shifts at the Games are early ones so I wake up at 4am, leave in half an hour and come back home no earlier than 6pm having energy for nothing but sleep because there is another early shift following day. Despite that, I've been loving every second of my volunteering experience. Sneaked into hockey matches (I'm based in hockey center), got last minute free ticket to see athletics (haven't seen so many people in my life!), also got to see the Queen, prince Edward and Sophie followed by Prince William and Kate. They all came to the hockey center, and as far as I know, hockey is Kate's favorite sport. ^^

My last shift is on Saturday but since the men hockey finals are on Sunday, I expect either for an extra shift or (maybe) a last minute ticket to see the matches. Fingers crossed!

I got some pictures which I will upload later.
Best wishes!

Nice to hear from you! Sounds like you are having an amazing time! ENJOY!

summer-cold-update: I think a slight improval.......could be better.....my own fault.....Yesterday I thought it was a great idea to vaccuum, mop the floors, arrange the house, fold the clothes and to cut bushes in the garden for more than an hour.........I should have laid down and rest a little.....lol

anyhow....I am still happy....cos it´s the 1st of August....which means the next 1st will the 1st of a BER month.....and that...makes me incredible happy!!!!!!!

Today we either gon have homemade pizza.......or potatoe salad and fish-sticks.......I´m a gourmet......hahahahahahaha

Go for the pizza! Hope you start feeling better today!

Hello all. I've missed y'all these last couple of days. Yesterday my Tapatalk didn't seem to want to work. The forums were gone for a bit and when they returned, the "reply" feature was no where to be found! I could read posts, I just couldn't respond.

I hope you all have a great Friday. We made it to August 1st! It's getting close and will be autumn before we know it!

Keeping you & your family in my prayers! Have a great day Ryan! Give Happy a hug from us!!

I've been challenged to walk/jog 100 miles in the month if August. So, I'm off to get started. What did I get myself into!?!?!

No problem! You can do it!!! And I should join you! I always did a 100 mile challenge on weight watchers, but I have been a slacker the last couple months! Walk, walk, walk!

Good Friday morning!!!!!!

YAHOOOO!!!! Happy Friday!

Looking forward to the pictures! I hope you get to see some matches.

Just about 3.25 miles a day. If you jog or walk briskly, that could be done in under an hour. You can do that!

Good Morning and Happy Friday MMC!

[emoji106]Woohoo!!

Good morning MMC! Happy, Happy Friday!! I am soooo tired. Too many late nights in a row this week! My hubby says he's sleeping half a day away this weekend. :lol: We talked about staying home this weekend, but I'm ready to get away from the mess, so to the lake we go! I might have to do a little cooking out there this - just because I can! LOL! But tonight it's going to be pizza!!!

I think all of the lights are in the kitchen now, except for the light above the kitchen sink. I walked into the kitchen after they turned them all on & it looked like an airport runway!! :lol: LOVE IT! Next week I need to paint the bathroom...Oh joy....

Have a fabulous Friday everyone!

So happy that it's Friday again! I hope yours goes easily!

It's supposed to rain on and off all weekend, but that's okay. I have plenty of indoor projects that need my attention. Some of them are Christmas prep, of course!
