Christmas Countdown - 2014

[snowflake22]

Worrying about Gloria. A hurricane is headed right their way tonight and into tomorrow. A tropical storm is supposed to follow the same track a few days later.

Keeping Gloria & her son in my thoughts & prayers, MerryCarey.

 

[snowflake22]

Hope everyone is well and blessed and those who've been under the weather are doing better today! Just wanted to say good morning to a wonderful group of people.

Hey graywolf! Nice to see you
Hope you & your family are doing well!

I was just about to mention that! I loved the school pizza! I was not a picky eater and ate whatever they served but a lot of kids hate school lunches. I am still not a picky eater but my food allergies make me appear that way. :-? Everyone says I need to eat more. I can't! :

I loved school pizza, too!!

Didn't look very good, but it tasted great!!

Do you guys have a Whole Foods or Trader Joes that you go to? I love those grocery stores! So much easier & healthier to shop at, especially if you have dietary restrictions.

 

[MerryCarey]

Keeping them in my prayers. I've had the weather channel on and they just showed that cases of water are selling for $18. That is crazy!!!

Ugh! Prices are always high in Hawaii, but that's outrageous profiteering.

Thank you to everyone who's praying.

 

[MerryCarey]

LOL!!!! I miss school pizza!!!!! There use to be a little butcher shop around here that sold the square piece's like that but it closed about 10 years ago now.

Do you have Elio's frozen pizza out there? It's darn near the same as school pizza. It's even square.

Yes, I shop at Whole Foods a lot and Natural Grocers - equivalent to Whole Foods but a bit less costly. It's still pricey though so I get what I can on sale and use coupons. I have only been to Trader Joes once because they just recently opened them up in our area.

I love Whole Foods, just wish I could afford to do all my shopping there!

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Hey Made, can you do me a big favor since I wash all your dishes? :lol:
Can you post the link to the QVC Autumn thread you started on here so I can find it? I am trying to find it right quick but can't and the kids need my attention. Wonder why? :lol: Oh yeah, lunch time!!!

Thanks, friend!

I hear ya!

We had a Trader Joe's across the street from our first home in Vegas, and I loved it. I usually did the majority of my shopping elsewhere, but went there for a few select items.

You're nicer than Made. I have to wash his dishes then he kicks me out. :lol:

That sounds like a good plan, Snowflake. I will bring some coffee. How about a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte??? (I wish they had them now!)


Poor Made! He is not even here to defend himself! We pick on ya, Made, because we like ya! :

Good luck with your new job! Enjoy your time off! It's hard to leave co-workers though - glad you will still be able to see them!!!

Glad you had a nice send off at work!! It's even better that you are going to be able to get back together with everyone soon too!!!

Hope you enjoy the rest of your day!!!

Thankyou both, it is nice that I can still pop in from time to time to catch up! x:thumbsup:

Good evening,

Long slow night at work, I am feeling somewhat better, just this killer sore throat that won't stop.

Winding down listening to some 'Quo, I do have to be up early and I have been so out of it with being sick the last few days.

My wife talked to my grandmother tonight, she said she doesn't sound too well. It is hard since my g-ma is tough as nails and a fighter, she refuses to have any novocaine or laughing gas when she has dental work, this is very hard to deal with, she has always been the true leader of our whole family.

I should probably will myself to sleep, 545 gets here way too soon.


Good night, all.

I hope you're feeling better today!
Continued prayers for your grandma, you & your family xx

99 days until the season???

Ladies and Gents, it's time to start getting ready!

:dance:

Good Morning, friends~

Happy Thursday!! Looking forward to the weekend [emoji173]️

Wishing you a blessed day!

Good afternoon Snowflake!
I hope you're having a wonderful day!

Morning MMC!!! 139 days until christmas!!!!! crikey!! think I need to start planning, going to start looking at what gifts the girls want and start picking bits up!!

Well I left my job last friday, my work friends got me the biggest bunch of flowers and some vouchers! Im going to miss them all but we are having a night out together soon and ill pop in on my way home from my new job which I start in 20 days! eekk!!

Really fancied hot chocolate last night, havent had it for a while and I really enjoyed it, always reminds me of the season!!

Going to catch up on the posts, hope this finds everyone well and hope you all have a great day!! xxx

Good luck with your new job!

Good Morning, All.

Today's headlines:
1) NEW COUNT NUMBERS.
2) TRAVEL ALERT!

First, the numbers:
Days to the Season: 98
Days to Christmas Day: 140

And I would be derelict if I failed to mention the looming proxity of our next Milestone.
It's the THREE-QUARTER mark to Christmas Season 2014.
And........now hold on to your sleigh reigns........it's ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!

Yes, my friends. These Milestones are really piling up and most of them are now past.
(Wow. Don't tell me it's almost time to start thinking about holiday plans!
Too soon.
I'm not ready!)


Gradually more warm and humid as the days pass, but the rain has held off and is supposed to do so for one more day.
Then, it will begin just as our traveling does.

Which brings me to the above-mentioned ***** TRAVEL ALERT *****.

The Crowns are off late tomorrow morning to South Carolina to visit relatives on my mother's side of the family we haven't seen in 3 years.
As such, a volunteer will be needed for this Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Any takers?
(Lots of fun and a great service, Folks!)


Well, you have a Thrilling Thursday, Everyone.
And I'll see you here one more morning before we leave!

Thanks Crown! :grin:

Good morning everybody!!! Happy Friday Eve!!! I haven't had a chance to catch up on posts, but while my Keurig is brewing my coffee, I wanted to jump on & say "hello"! I just turned Christmas on Pandora, hoping the coffee will gear me up for a lot of painting today! 21563484 (that was Miss Gracie saying hello! That's what I get for walking away to grab my coffee!)
Anyway - we are going to have some fun today! The trusses for our new room were delivered this morning! Woo Hoo! Contractor kept saying they were waiting on trusses....well, they are here!!! Bring on construction!!

My bathroom is gone! Only thing left is a bath tub! Of course that did not get done without a lot of cursing & a hole in the wall! And a 5 gallon bucket under the water valves! Our plumber is coming back Tuesday anyway - thankfully! Ran into more issues - imagine that! LOL!

Oh how I love a day off work! Hope you all have a wonderful day!!

I hope you're having a nice day and that all goes well at the house today!!!

I said I was going to come back and catch up yesterday but it didn't happen. I woke up yesterday morning with my neck hurting so bad that Wayne had to help me up sit up and he brought me coffee in bed. I got on here to post and run because my grandkids were here. I thought I would start feeling better once I was up but began feeling worse. The kids actually got picked up early, around 11:30. I was not going to fight it like I usually do in the past. I took Wayne's advice, I got myself in bed before noon and stayed there - just me and the doggies! I was hurting so bad and not feeling well so I had a TV marathon watching mostly history and science. I watched shows about presidential history, history about the White House, space exploration and NASA. I am feeling smart this morning. I also caught a little of an NFL game - Yay!!! Football is back!!! It's funny how I am not a political person in the least but love history of our past presidents and anything to do with history of Air Force One, the White House, secret service and such.

It's a good thing I just stayed in bed because I am feeling a whole lot better today! I just had to, "Let it Go" yesterday. Sorry Snowflake, couldn't resist our favorite song! Ha ha!!!

I'm sorry you weren't feeling well CAH, so glad today is much better!
xx

Good Morning, MMC!!!!! It's going to be hot and humid here this morning with a high in the mid 80's again. I have just been sitting around reading the paper and looking at the grocery ads this morning. Nothing that great in either of them though. So I guess it's time for me to get up and get busy. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!

You just reminded me, I need to work on a grocery list too. I hope you're keeping cool and having a great day!

Worrying about Gloria. A hurricane is headed right their way tonight and into tomorrow. A tropical storm is supposed to follow the same track a few days later.

I'll be praying MerryCarey xx

Hope everyone is well and blessed and those who've been under the weather are doing better today! Just wanted to say good morning to a wonderful group of people.

Good afternoon graywolf!!!

Good afternoon from Wisconsin friends! I'm catching up a bit around here and getting excited about the upcoming season. We were on a day trip to the Lake Geneva area yesterday where there were many gift shops. We saw lots of Fall decor and Christmas items- even though it was 80 degrees outside! I enjoy shopping when we aren't in the overbooked days of the actual season...hope you are all getting into the spirit too!
