Christmas Countdown - 2015

[MerryCarey]

Good evening,

Got lots of stuff done at work today, including getting a raise. It wasn't much, but I will take any at this point. It was because my job code is changing, so I will do the same job at more money, can't complain about that. cheesy

6 more working days until vacation, starting to get that excited feeling about it now that it is within my grasp.

I hope you all had a great day.


Goodnight, everyone.

Congrats on the raise! And enjoy your vaca countdown!

Good Morning! Happy Friday to you all~

I'm off to a 3 cups of coffee and 2 glazed doughnuts this morning. Yes, the sugar and caffeine is starting to take affect, Oh how I dread the crash later on this afternoon. By then, it will be time for more coffee...

Hello, yes it is I, I have been here, but yet, not here. As you know busy, busy, busy is like my middle name and for the past month, it has been even more intense than usual. We are slammed at work, been putting in steady overtime and yet still not enough hours to get all of this done in a normal work week. It's a good thing and a bad thing. Good to have the work, bad not to have a life....

But, in my field of work (Engineering), it's always the roller coaster effect as I call it, where we are slammed on month and then a steady 40 hours the next....Last week I did over 80 hours and the architect completely redesigned the entire job this past weekend, and we have to start all over again...sigh~
And even with all of that work, I still managed to finish all my work in my basement at home, cut the lawn, etc... and next week my FIL will tie all the electric that I ran into the panels. It's great to have a FIL that is a Master Electrician...

Looking forward to the weekend. I'm taking off and just piddle around a bit. On a sad note, one of my Christmas trees got a burial in the dumpster here at work, because I discovered it crushed from something large and heavy, falling on it at home...Oh well...it lived a good life in a happy home...

Well, back to work....

Hoping you can relax and recharge over the weekend after your superhuman efforts. (And "pooh" to that architect and his revisions.)

Thanks so much snowflake!! Gracie will get an extra hug or 10!

I have never been to this winery, so it would be fun. We really don't have too many around here - 3 that I know of within an hour drive. And I've only been to 1 of those 3! I'll see what tomorrow brings!

Hope you have a wonderful day & a nice weekend planned!? Hugs to Har!

I hope Gracie's test turn out good!

Thank you!! The little booger worries me!

Have an awesome weekend!

Good deal!

Thank you [emoji258]

I'm going to be spending as much time with Adi and Har as possible this weekend! It's going to be very hot & humid, so probably mostly indoors, except at night- maybe some time on the deck =]
We may have a date night, as well!

Thank you for the hugs, Har will love them!

Thanks so much made! Prayers are appreciated! I agree...the rain is crazy! What a weird summer. We have never had this much water sitting around in July - especially for this length of time!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend planned to! Have a great day!

Sounds like a good weekend! I hope you stay cool & get to enjoy some deck time....and date night sounds great! Maybe you should hit a winery! ENJOY!

I think my hubby is driving for UPS tomorrow morning. That's unusual. They must be short on help. We have mass for my Dad Sunday morning at 10:30 & there is talk of brunch at my sisters after! Yum!

Hey everyone! Hope y'all are great. Been a few days since I've been able to check in, but for good reason. I've got a 20 month old who just refuses to be put down. We have battled and battled all week. Can't believe I'm saying I've battled a 20 month old, but that' what is has been. Anybody got any suggestions? Things went so well, then all of the sudden she doesn't want to go to sleep.



My anniversary is coming up next week and I'm trying to find something special to come up with. At this point, I think two hours away from everyone else would be great for us, but that isn't likely. We will probably stay home and just hang out...which I am also fine with.



I'm about to go. Got some other things to read...



Can anyone point me in the direction of QVC Christmas schedule for this month?

I feel for you, Coach. I remember those days. Unfortunately we just had to wait for our kids to come out of it and they eventually regulated their sleep schedules. Thought those days would never end but now they're long gone and I wonder how my little ones have gotten to be so big.
Praying for you! Sure is tiring when you're the one going through it!

:notice: GOOD NEWS!


Rejoice with me, for my sister-in-law decided she hated her dual-monitor pc setup, and gave it to me. So, I've gone from a slow, clunky Win98 desktop to this sleek, lovely Win7 desktop with two monitors. I am having a blast playing with photoshop on 2 monitors. And it's so nice to have a computer at home that works as well as my one here at work! Yay!
