Sorry to hear them turkeys are kicking your butt!! Hope the markdown improves your sales!! xxGood evening,
The turkeys are kicking my butt, I am quite sore tonight, and we haven't even gotten that busy yet. 2 more weeks of thus craziness. I did finally get the store manager to approve my markdown on the prices to try to get more customers in because they are not moving nearly as fast as they have in years past.
I can't believe we are a mere 25 hours and 54 minutes from the season. I hope I will be able to stay awake for it tomorrow night.
Tomorrow will be here too quickly, I am going to head to bed soon.
Goodnight, everyone.
Awe - I'm so sorry to hear about Mr. Kittles. What a shock - a handsome boy crossed the bridge much too soon! Prayers for Brad & Cass!Good times are ahead at the 'Pines tonight... It will have to be an early night for me. I have dental surgery in the morning. I'm getting a tooth pulled. Yep. A tooth pulled on the day before the beginning of the Christmas Season. Oh, and it's also my Special Post Day! Good thing it's already written!
As for tomorrow, don't worry about me too much. Send all your positive thoughts to my brother. He awoke today to find that his best buddy Mr. Kittles (his cat) had crossed the rainbow bridge sometime overnight. Needless to say, he has been heartbroken all day. The two were best friends for Mr. Kittles short six years on this earth. They really don't know the cause of his death. I feel absolutely awful for my brother (Brad) and his wife Cassandra. They have been through a lot this year, especially with Cass beating cancer. Anyway, please send your best to my brother and Cass. I hope that one day, they will one day be reunited with someone that brought them so much joy.
He was a handsome guy...

Hope you are able to get caught up! Have a fantastic day Tis!Morning all, the season is so close you can almost taste the salted caramel fudge hot chocolate. Hopefully after I grow a second set of hands and cut myself in half I'll get a chance of a catch up. Have a good day.
I'm excited to start seeing lights!! Love it! Have a great day Coen!Good morning! I cannot believe how close we are to December already. Even though Christmas is quite some weeks away, it also feels really close already.
Last night when I was cycling through the city to get some groceries for dinner I noticed the festive lights that they had lit. It was a really pretty sight and the first time this year that I saw the lights while they were on.
I hope you all have a merry Thursday. Weekend is around the corner!
Sounds like a great day! Stay warm!!! Safe travels for your hubby! xxGood morning, Jolly Folks! I am up early this morning with my husband who has to catch a plane for work. I hate it when he travels, but at least it's not super close to Thanksgiving.
The weather here has really taken a turn for the colder. Yesterday started out cold and sunny, so me and the little one took our morning walk. By 6pm the winds were whipping and it was pouring rain. We are supposed to get more of that today and a chance for snow tomorrow. Right now 39 degrees. I like it!
Plans for today: home with the little girl, so coloring, reading books, and playing mixed in with cleaning, organizing and maybe some decorating.
Have a great Thursday, Friends!!![]()
Awesome news about the turkey & your butcher! Have a great day HMG!Good morning MMC!
Happy Thursday!
Typical day of errands and daily chores. I also need to start working on some deep cleaning that I want done before Thanksgiving. It's getting close, two more weeks to go. Looks like I'm going to get that fresh turkey from my butcher after all. My husband will be doing work for him while he's renovating the store. He said he's going to order a few for whoever wants them! He's also hoping to re-open before Christmas which would be wonderful.
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

I'm hoping I can keep my peepers open til midnight tonight!! I stayed up too late last night ~ what was I thinking!!??Good Thursday Morning MMC! It's currently 49 degrees with light fog. We are expecting a forecast high temperature today of 58 degrees with showers. We've actually had a couple of days with some rain this week which we need anyway.
Well this is it. The last day before D-DAY. I have a long day actually. I have work of course and then after I have an exam. I'll come home, have dinner, and have the Jets/Bills game to keep me company and arrive on the boards tonight like most of you about an hour or so before the midnight hour. That's late for me but...it's more than worth it to count it down with you all. At least we'll be tired on a FRIDAY and be heading into the weekend.
Have a great Thursday guys. This is it...the last day before it all begins.
Not sure I can join the gathering tonight and into the wee hours, if not, I'll be there in merry spirit.
Brent, thank you for your special post and mentioning my buddy Kermit's song and connecting it with our countdown passion.
It's always difficult to lose a fur-friend and I will keep Brad and Cass and their pets in my thoughts.
I don't have to remind you to keep a merry thought in your head because all of us do, but I say it anyway because it's my special way of saying, "I'm thinking of y'all".
So, keep a merry thought in your head.![]()
