Hope y'all are doing great! Just sitting here watching some football and smelling the meatloaf that is cooking! YUMMY!

Five more days until Thanksgiving Break! I'm so ready for a week off. It will be nice. This is the first real break I have taken since last Christmas! I can't wait.

I'm will see y'all later. I'm off to watch ball and play with Bambina!

Good morning, friends~

It's a chilly morning! Currently 4 degrees! We are expecting more snow tonight, up to 3 inches.

What are your plans for the day?

I will be getting some things done around the house, working on Christmas cards, and watching Christmas movies!

Tomorrow, my family comes & we head to Green Bay for the Packers-Eagles game. So excited!

Hope you have a merry & festive day!

Have fun at the game!!!!! Stay warm!!!

Good morning!
I'm heading out soon, I have to do a big food shopping trip and I want to get it over with. I also plan on doing some deep cleaning this weekend. I really have my work cut out for me, I kind of let things go with all of the construction going on. My husband is almost finished painting so things should really start to come together now. We had cushions and pillows made for the window seat, so we'll be setting that up. And we're also ready to hang the new curtains. I'll post pictures when its finished.
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

How exciting!! Can't wait to see pics!!! I went tile shopping yesterday ~ to a flooring center. OMGosh do they have the tile to choose from! So confusing. LOL!! Have fun finishing up!!!

Good morning, everyone!

It's the first weekend of the Christmas Season! Kim and I are going to brave the shopping world today and attempt to purchase a few things. We're heading down to Bayshore Shopping Centre in hopes to spot some mall Christmas decorations and a few gifts for her nephews. We also need to make a few last minute purchases for our home decorations. Hopefully we don't spend too much money.

It's a clear blue sky in Ottawa today. Temperatures are to reach a high just above the freezing mark. Brr! I forgot to mention, yesterday, Simon experienced his first snowfall. Kim has new work hours, so she is off on Fridays... Simon was quite confused while watching the fluffy stuff dance its way down from the sky. Kim sent me a video. It was quite cute!

Well, I should begetting ready. I think were already about 30 minutes behind. Hopefully we're not out until 4. We have a busy day ahead of us. Aside from the shopping, which includes groceries, we also have to attend my friend Scott's 31st birthday celebration! I am actually not sure if it is a surprise. His girlfriend is hosting a bacon party. We all have to bring something that has bacon! It should be delicious. Kim is not quite yet sure what we will bring. She's excited to try making something though.

Have a great Saturday, everyone! The first weekend of the Christmas Season has arrived! Be sure to do something extra Christmassy today!

I bet the video is adorable of simon in the snow!!! A bacon party ~ what a fun idea!!! Hope it was a good time!

Well they just issued a winter storm advisory from 4pm tomorrow until 9am Monday. So the snow shovel has come out of it's hiding spot and is now resting beside the front door. Hopefully that will be enough to scare off anything that is headed our way.

We have that same winter storm advisory - ours is between 7pm & Noon tomorrow. Says 3-5" by noon!! :


Auntie Mistletoe Dear ~ your posts are so heartwarming & Christmassy! I'm glad you are in a good place with your Mom & that you had such a good time yesterday!!! :-D

Hello All--

It's been probably a year since I actually posted anything in the countdown--my desktop at home went on the fritz for a bit, and it's so hard for me to jump back in once I get out for a bit! But I've been reading off and on, and it's good to see familiar names. I hope everyone is doing well! I am preparing not only for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but my youngest daughter's wedding in January! Fun times! On the not so great side, this coming New Year's Eve will mark the 10th anniversary of my kids' dad's death. My girls haven't spoken much about it, but I know it's sad for them--especially my youngest, who won't get to have her dad walk her down the aisle. She'll have her stepdad and her dad's "double cousin" do the honors, but of course it isn't the same. Anyway, just wanted to touch in for a bit, and hopefully start posting again!

Anne

Hi Anne ~ nice to see you again!!! Wow ~ you have a lot to look forward too over the next few months!! Congrats to your daughter. I'll keep you all in my thoughts & prayers! Hope you can visit us often here!

Well they have been promoting for a year. Now it's time to see if North Pole lives up to the hype.

I am watching it now on Hallmark. I DVR'd it last night too!

 

[Holiday]

cake dropped off at contest site this morning, in one piece!
Tomorrow awards are handed out at 3pm. After I get home I will post some pictures.
So far North Pole is ok

Good luck CS!! Can't wait to see it!

Morning! Just changed all the sheets and threw some laundry in and about to go for a chilly run. I love running when it's cold outside! I pass the time looking for Christmas decorations!

We went to the mall yesterday and man was it packed!!! We drove around the parking lot for a good ten minutes before we got s far away spot! It was like Christmastime before online shopping! I loved the hustle and bustle and the kids talked to Santa and mrs. Claus.

Not sure what's on the agenda today. Would like to go to ikea to grab a floor lamp I need before I host Christmas but we will see!

Enjoy your Sunday!

It was crazy busy at the stores/mall on Tuesday too. With all the online shopping, you just don't see that much anymore. Loved it!!!
Good luck finding a lamp!
Have a good day!

Morning everyone. After a looonnnggg week I'm finally off work and getting a catch up. Seems like the festive season has arrived!

Happy Sunday Tis! The festive season has arrived, indeed!!! :grin:

Hello all. Well I survived my 16 hour workday in Friday but now I've got a pretty nasty sinus infection. I think I'll be missing church this week.

We are expected to get some snow today! Not much but an inch or two.

I hope you all have a great Sunday!

Hope you are feeling better!!!

Good Morning, MMC!!!!! It's going to be a chilly one here with a high of 34. We did get some snow overnight and thankfully it just stuck to the grass, building's, and cars. It doesn't sound like that is going to be the case tonight though. We are now up to 3 to 5 inches. Then Tuesday, it's going to be bitterly cold with a high of 22. At least it looks like we start warming back up some after that. Today I have to head out to my sister's for my niece's birthday party. I hope they will understand when I turn the tv on to the final Nascar race of the year and switch over to the football games too. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday to your niece!! Enjoy the race & football & the party! And I hope we both can enjoy some snow....but hopefully it doesn't get toooo bad!

Moving a little slow this morning, I'm trying to get rid of a headache that I woke up with. I would like to go shopping later if I feel up to it, there are a few things I want to pick up for the kitchen. I also plan on doing a lot of cleaning. Thanksgiving will be here before we know it, I need to get this house in order. And I'll be frying meatballs and making a big pot of sauce, baked raviolis for dinner tonight.
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

I hope you are feeling better! It must be going around. Hubby was on the couch most of the morning with a bad headache - he was thinking it was sinus. He rarely gets a headache, so that was strange. I woke up with a low grade fever & a sore throat. Been a pretty lazy day around here. You supper sounds yummy!!! Have a great day HMG!

 

[Holiday]

Good afternoon MMC! Hope you all are having a great Sunday!!!

I am whooped today. I helped my friend bartend at the American Legion bar last night so our hubbys could go to the high school football game - she had DJ Bingo down there - my gosh were we BUSY!!! The place was packed after the game. I haven't bartended like that for years...wore me out!!! :lol: It was fun though ~ "just like riding a bike" :smile: I got to talk to so many people I haven't seen for awhile. Good time!

It's starting to look like could snow soon! xx

Have a great Sunday ~ this day is slipping away too fast...

IT'S SNOWING!!! :

[gabulldawg]

Hello everyone! First congrats to all the folks getting snow...we are cold in the 20's but sunny and no snow in the forecast until tues the 25th! My baby sister and bro in law are coming to my house and Brandi's folks are coming in from Boston so I pray no snow storms are going to hinder their travels.

I have to admit friends, that I have been in no Christmas mood this year...I am trying I really am but so far no go. I guess it's a lot of things without turning this post into a therapy session, but turning 40 in 2 weeks has got me bummed...not a lot of ppl may not understand I and I get that, but just trust me it's an issue for me..but anyway I have enjoyed the Halloween fall season, and I get a little sad when the leaves are all gone from the trees. In the years I have been a member here I have always had the spirit and so I practically lived online here...so I just hope between now and December I will have the spirit!!! Hope everyone is hunkered down for this winter storms that is plowing through the Midwest,Ohio valley,Northeast today and tomorrow...and then the artic air that is following!!
