Hope your time at passport goes quickly & you get a lot of calls for subbing this year! My neighbor is a sub teacher, I walked with her this morning & she said it's so quiet at her house. All the kids are in school & nobody usually needs a sub at the beginning of the year. I told her she better enjoy it now! Ha ha! Have a great day Brent!

Thanks, Holiday! She will get plenty of calls soon enough. Hope you enjoyed your Tuesday!

Well! Get a load of this:

1) "Halloween Alley" has opened their doors in the mall at last!

2) A skeleton playing the organ with his loyal dog nearby lends a creep-crawly feel to the front window display.

3) And speaking of skeletons, make no bones about it, choice abounds at the "Alley"!

I spoke to one of the clerks and, of course, the conversation turned to "A Christmas To Remember".
She acknowledged they would be leaving at the beginning of November just when "A Christmas To Remember" is suppose to arrive at the mall, so.............

Thank you, Crown. Great photos! I always thought that "A Christmas To Remember" opened prior to November? Did she mention anything about "A Christmas To Remember," or are you just putting two and two together.

Good Morning, Guys.
Welcome to September -- the Blossoms Debut month!

And we're starting to move within easy striking distance of SINGLE DIGITS to our next Milestone, the 100-day Christmas Day marker.

The daily numbers:
Days to the Season: 73
Days to Christmas Day: 115
Yep. Just five days to single digits, alright!

(Wow! With the 'bers starting, "Blossoms" ahead later this month and with the count nearing twin double-digit level, aren't you starting to feel just a little crackle of excitement?)


A bit more muggy here yesterday after some rain added to the moisture.
We have started today off at 71 degrees with a touch of fog.
Should be dry today for moving my niece to Charlotte.

** Which brings me to the need for a countdown volunteer for one morning **
Looks like I'll be spending tonight in Charlotte and won't be back home until tomorrow afternoon.
As such, if someone could take the count tomorrow morning, it would be greatly appreciated!


Have a Terrific Tuesday, Friends!

I am unsure if anyone has volunteered yet... I would be more than happy to take it over for 'Pines Day, Crown!
 
I did a bit of searching and saw that nobody has volunteered. Also, I don't know if Crown has already left or will be returning today. Should I just go ahead and assume the controls?

I just reread it and took it as that Crown will be gone for tonight, and coming back tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks, Brent!

Me too. And, thus, assuming someone else will take controls, correct?

Well well well. Christmas is coming! I saw Christmas lights in walmart!!! There is Christmas in Costco too. People are groaning about it and actually swearing at it. I am giddy taking pictures of it and looking at everything haha. Here is a picture of it in Walmart! We are going back later on in the week to check to see if they have more out!!

Also my Mom gave me a Christmas rug when I was down this past weekend. I have it in my bathroom in my basement. I will keep it there all year long!

I get worse every year! I love it! My Son William loves it too. He wants to look at the Christmas stuff in stores with me. Right now I am watching Crazy Christmas Lights (TLC Special) that I have recorded a few years ago. I have also spotted Halloween in Shoppers Drug Mart and in Walmart.

Well. This is it. I go back to work next tuesday after the long weekend. I have been off for almost a year on paternity leave. I don't want it to end! Oh well. I got my shift. Saturday locked off with an added random day off. Work block time 8am-7pm. Then November we have another shift bid. Whoopie. lol. Hope you all have a merry evening!

It's so wonderful that you had a whole year off to spend with your child; must be a hard transition heading back to work with long hours. Thanks for sharing your finds and your new bathroom festive mat.
I noticed lots of Halloween stuff out and a wee bit of Christmas stuff in stores and I approach it the same way; smiling and sometimes saying, "Oh, look at that!" and aggravating shoppers on purpose with my excessive joy.

Take it Brent; Crown won't make it back in time for the morning Countdown Message tomorrow. You can lead us into "Pines Day"!
