Christmas Countdown - 2015

[snowflake22]

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

I've had some after-work work to do lately, just enough to get dirty and sweaty everyday. It's not terribly hot, but the humidity is nearly 100% all day. Yuck!

Elections are coming up soon (not mine, though!), and my side business is temporary advertising signs, so all the local politicians are calling me, trying to beat their competitors to the advertising market. I never had any opposition while on the council, but it sounds like campaigning is a pain in the rear LOL!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Happy Pines Day, Brad!
Glad you are staying busy in the side business!!
Stay cool, and have a wonderful day!

Good evening, friends.
Not much to report on my FIL, Ken, unfortunately.
They got back some preliminaries, just enough to scare us. Nothing concrete yet.
They re-ran the EEG, and CT. And their results are conflicting. I'm guessing different people are reading them, too. My SIL and Adrian have seen 5 different neurologists.
So frustrating.
Thanks again for all of your prayers & kind words. I will keep you posted.

xx

Sending love, hugs and continued prayers.

IS Maggie not well? Is the cough again? Poor thing. Thoughts are with you all. Hope you manage a better night.

Thank you Sam. Maggie slept pretty well last night. She still coughs off and on but she's been extra restless the past couple of nights, not sure why. I hope it passes, it's so stressful and I am so sleep deprived!

Merry Morning! Happy Pines Day!!

It's been a while since I have made it to the Pines! I look forward to later. What's in store for tonight?

Expecting another repair guy today to give me a second quote for the heating repair. Fingers crossed his will be more reasonable. Other than that working home today and enjoying time with Isaac. Nervous about leaving tomorrow at Nursery school. How did he get to be so big already

Have a wonderful Wednesday all!

Happy Pines Day!
I hope today's heating quote is more reasonable!
Good luck tomorrow, I hope Isaac loves school. Keeping you in my thoughts, I know it's a big transition.
Hope you have a nice day!

Merry Wednesday, friends~
Happy Pines Day!
Wishing you a blessed and beautiful day~

See you tonight!

He is feeling better, but havent slept since he woke up!!
And that's over 9 hours since! Now he is sitting on the sofa watching TV
(still a bit warm, but much better ♥)

I'm going to continue watching a Christmas movie on my computer
and drink some more coffe!!

Hope everyone is doing fine over here?
I miss the time I was updated on everyones life
And I miss you guys

Sending get well wishes to Isak, I hope he feels better very soon!

Happy Hump Day! Another very hot day today. My oldest daughter is getting out early today due to the heat. Yesterday her classrooms were over 90. I am ready for fall! Have a merry day!View attachment 12809

Good morning SnowflakeMom!
So hot and humid here too. I'm so ready for Fall.
Hope you have a wonderful day!

Good morning MMCers, and Happy Pines Day! It is definitely one of the last warm days of summer today, as the end of this week begins to cool off majorly! Trying to wear my summer outfits while I still can!!

My husband has a presentation he's very nervous about this morning-all thoughts and prayers for him would be so welcome!

After working the last three Sundays and being incredibly busy at work on Monday, I FINALLY get a day off tomorrow, a half day on Friday at the easy job, and a weekend off!!!!!!!!! I'm as happy as kid on Christmas morning-I've been SO TIRED this month! Need a break!!!

Hope everyone else is well and has a fabulous Wednesday! See you at the Pines!

Good morning DYHWIH!
Keeping your husband in my thoughts, I hope his presentation goes well!
Hope you have a great day!

Good Morning MMC !!!

off to work in a bit...hope you all have a great day !

Good morning Star, hope you have a great day as well!

Happy Pine's Day Holiday!

Good Morning, Hilariously Happy Humpday Hooligans, Having High Holiday Hopes!

And today's numbers guarantee a Highly Happy Day to all:
Days to the Season: 65
Days to Christmas Day: 107

They also come with the added notation that we are now exaclty one week away from the 100-day Christmas Day Window and the commencement of a twin double-digit count.
(Stay tuned for pending excitement!)


And speaking of excitement, Carl is getting more and more worked up since we have entered the 'bers and has been working on a secret display for the Shispering Pines auditorium.
Rumor has it he will be presenting blow-ups of all of the Christmas Blossoms 2015 photos posted starting later this month with the thread launch.
(THAT should certainly start putting the 'Pines into the Christmas spirit!)


Still more humid yesterday but not overly hot. A late afternoon rain added to the moisture but after today, saner conditions are predicted to prevail.
(Believe I will hold off mowing the lawn until then.)
This morning has started off at 75 humid degrees here in the capital city.


Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Everyone.
Hope to see everyone who can come at the 'Pines this evening!
(For some reason I really need a fired twinkie and iced tea fix this week.)

Thank you Crown, hope you have a great day!

Good rainy hump/pines day morning MMC!
I'm going to try to catch up a little around here, but it looks like that could take awhile!
I hope everyone had a nice Labor Day weekend! Ours was nice, and warm! Whew! (not complaining though...) We never got out on the lake once! As a matter of fact, except for walking Gracie, & a couple bike rides, we only left the landing once to go out for supper! We had food, drinks, friends, shade trees, bonfires, the big screen tv was out ~ why would we ever leave?? Ha ha! Now it's back to the grind today, but at least it's Wednesday already! Whoot!
Hope you all have a Happy Hump Day!!!

Sounds like an awesome weekend! Have a Happy Wednesday Holdiay!

Afternoon guys, hope your day is going well.
The repair guy has just been. His advice is to replace the system entirely as the make is old and discontinued so sourcing the parts will be almost impossible. He is an engineer with Worceitster, the makers of my current boiler so I am inclined to think his advice is genuine. The other guy never actually turned on the heat when he examined it but this guy did and found that a couple of other things are not working properly. The repairs will cost just under a £1000.00 so obviously it makes sense to put that toward a new system.

I think I believe him but who knows!!!

From 300.00 I am now looking at £2000.00!!! Have the strong stuff ready and waiting for me later at the pines !! I'm going to need it!!!

Sorry to hear that Sam!

Good morning everyone!
I'm heading out soon to run a few errands, back home afterward to work on my daily chores. Things have been so hectic here lately. I don't like it. Haven't been sleeping well at night either so I'm really dragging my feet. I didn't even have the energy to workout last night. It was the first time I skipped a day since I started to exercise again, I feel so guilty. Anyway, that's about it for me. I'm also still trying to find the time to decorate for Fall, we'll see what happens today.
I hope everyone is well and has a nice day !

Good luck with your errands, HmG~
Sorry to hear how hectic things have been. I know how stressful it can be when you're not sleeping well, either. It adds to it.
Hope you can get a nap in today.
Keeping you in my thoughts & prayers. Sending hugs your way!
