Christmas Countdown - 2014

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Evening everyone! I hope you had a great day. :] I also hope that my lazy days are going to an end because I am getting tired of being around the house. :/ I hate when any type of plans get cancelled 'cause I am then left with last-minute-attempt-to-save-the-day usually not working out.
Oh, well. I wish tomorrow will be better.
Best wishes!

I hope all works out with no plans cancelled!

Wishing you all a good evening! Vicki and I just got back from eating dinner at Bob Evans Restaurant. I had the Turkey dinner and right now, I'm feeling like a stuffed turkey!!!

I have not been up to a whole heck of a lot lately, mostly I have been in this la-la-land, with not knowing yet what, exactly we are going to do about moving. We have been going back and forth with these people that are selling their home and we put in an offer, they counter, we counter, and they counter, and so on and on it has gone. We just made our LAST offer to them, and we told them so, that if they did not accept, then we will go else where's.....The gentleman said he was going to talk to his wife tonight and get back with us, so it's a wait and see game.....

In the mean time, I've been packing things up and just preparing to go somewhere, worst case, I'll rent a place for awhile, until either something comes on the market or we buy land and build, we'll just have to wait and see how things unfold....

Well, the Mrs. just walked in the door from work, so I'll talk to you al tomorrow am.....

Wishing you best of luck on the house offer!!!

Party time after construction is completed!

Yay! I will be there! =)

so chilly here today, every one has jackets on! Going to warm up again on the weekend, but for now this is great, I love to cooler temperatures.

Got the cakes baked, tomorrow I put it all together and put the fondant on and decorate.

As soon as a couple of other things are done I am going up to read for awhile before bed.

Right now I am watching "Robots" because this is a movie with Robin Williams in it. His talent lives on but he will be so missed.

I hope you post some pictures of your cake!

When I was first married, my first husband and I lived in Japan. Our kitchen was maybe 4 feet by 3 feet. My "stove" was a two-burner hot plate! I once cooked pinto beans (from scratch), using a large Folgers coffee can as my bean pot. Those were some of my funnier, happy cooking days! Later, we bought a two-burner propane stove-oven and I was in heaven! As I am sure you know, it's not about what you have; it's about who you are with (at the time).

I love that story. You can make it work no matter what the situation is!

Good evening!
I'm getting kind of sleepy but I'm trying to stay awake until my husband gets home. The poor thing is going to be exhausted, its been a really long day for him.
I just wanted to update you on the pre-school job that I was offered. I decided I didn't want to commit to the five days, especially the Monday, Wednesday & Friday shift which was 8:00 - 3:00. I asked if it would be possible to just do the Tuesday & Thursday, 8:00 - 12:00. She said yes! I'm excited, I really think I'm going to like it. I'll be working with two year olds and I just love that age. I know it seems kind of silly because its only a few hours a week but I think it's a good start for me. At least I have my foot in the door and maybe someday I can increase the hours. Like I mentioned the other day, they follow the school district schedule so I'll have off on holidays, Winter & Spring recess and of course Summer break. Oh and snow days! I have a staff meeting September 2nd and classes begin on the 4th!
Well I'm going to read while I wait for my hubby, I hope everyone has a good night. I'll see you in the morning, sweet dreams! [emoji177]

Congratulations!!! I am so happy you got the days you wanted!

TGIF, my Christmas friends!

Our county centennial parade is tomorrow morning, and they require historical vehicles only. The '57 Chevy that I usually borrow has been sold, so I've been in contact with the local car club president. He says he can get a driver for me, but I still haven't heard back.

The radio station is doing a live broadcast of the parade, and asked me to come in to record an interview yesterday. He said it would only take 4 or 5 minutes, but we talked for 20 minutes. I thought of doing a Robin Williams tribute "Good Morning, Evans County!" in the broadcaster's booth, but I don't think they would have appreciated it.

Another busy weekend on the way. I hope y'all have a great one! cheesy

Good Morning, Brad!

Enjoy the parade, and have a great weekend!!

Too bad I don't like pumpkin.

What??? You don't like pumpkin?! :lol:

Good Morning everyone!

I hope you all are healthy. My two weeks of vacations are already over and I'm back at work.

The first week I spend in Vienna in Austria. For everyone who hasn't been there yet, I can recommend a trip wholeheartly! It's such a beautiful city with a rich history. The second week I stayed at home and spend some time with my family & friends.

How's the weather where you live? Here it has been much to cold and much to rainy. We had several floods and landslides. It's really sad, I wanted a real summer.

Sounds like you had a wonderful vacation!
It is so hot here in Texas - triple digits!

Good morning, MMC~

Happy Friday!!
Thank God It's Friday!!

What are your plans?

We are going to visit my Mother-in-law, Dorothy. And then celebrate our wedding anniversary on Saturday [emoji171]


Wishing you a blessed weekend!!

Happy Anniversary to them! Enjoy your weekend!

I could not remember if it was you or another MMC'er but do you work at Kohl's? I was just wondering if there are sites of fall goodies coming in.

Good Morning, Post-Milestoners.

(Seems to me I just called you that a very short time ago.)

And indeed the Milestones seem to be coming quicker and quicker as the year winds down.

The next one?
Hang in there.
Let's look at the daily numbers first:
Days to the Season: 90
Days to Christmas Day: 132

OK.
To the chart.
Hmmmm........
Well, it looks like it's the 2/3 marker to Christmas Day and it's......
wait.......
this can't be.
Only TEN DAYS away??
Why -- that's SINGLE DIGITS from tomorrow!!
(Someone better check me out.)


Well, Folks. I think yesterday was the best August day we have ever had here.
Wonderfully low humidity.
Highs in the low-mid 70's.
No precipitation or even the suggestion of it.
Gentle breezes.
Lots of sun.
(Is it too late not to get spoiled?)
We are at 63 degrees here, currently.

Enjoy the fabulous weather!!!

No big plans here, I'm still college shopping with my daughter!

Sending early Happy Anniversary wishes to you and Adrian, have a wonderful time celebrating!
I hope you have a blessed weekend as well!

Need coffee ..... Need java ..... Omgggggggg

Always need coffeeeeeeeeee!!! =)

I'm glad you had a good vacation, Cetacea!

The weather here has been hot and humid, though maybe not as hot as CAH out in Texas. I have to say, I'm a little envious of all this talk of cool weather LOL. It doesn't usually get cool down here until the end of October.

Happy to have you back!

Way too hot here! We need a cool down quick! =)

It's Adrian's & my 6th wedding anniversary [emoji173]️

I used to work at TJ Maxx, but I have been a Chiropractic Assistant at a Chiropractic/Wellness Clinic for almost 6 months now.

I know that they do have Fall & Halloween out, because some of my friends still working there messaged me =] [emoji316][emoji262][emoji260][emoji258][emoji270]

Good morning!
I need to get off this computer and get moving. It's turning out to be a busy day. I have some paperwork to fill out for the preschool job. I made a doctor appointment this morning, they have to fill out a medical form for me and I have to have a TB test done as well. I also need to be fingerprinted so I'm going to do that this afternoon. Oh and I just realized I have to reschedule the dogs groomer appointments. I have appointments for the next few months already booked and unfortunately they were all on Tuesday mornings when I'm scheduled to work. I'm praying I won't have a hard time rescheduling, this groomer has limited availability. Other than that I need to work on a menu plan and grocery list. And I have more college stuff to do. I'm sure I'll pop back in here at some point.
I hope everyone has a great day!!!

I hope you enjoy the new job! It sounds like a lot of effort to get a job at a preschool, but you can't be too careful with our kids, eh?
