Christmas Countdown - 2015

[snowflake22]

Good morning everyone, Happy Tuesday!
I'm having a cup of coffee and relaxing for a few minutes but I need to get moving. Everyone will be up soon so I need to start cooking breakfasts and packing lunches.
Typical day of errands & chores and I'll squeeze a workout in at some point. Forgot to mention that my husband picked up a beautiful home gym for me. He still has to set it up, he's going to try and get it done tonight. We have a finished basement that we don't use for anything so he's going to set all of our exercise equipment up down there. It should be nice, I think the whole family will use it.
That's about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Enjoy your coffee!
Hope that your errands and chores go well today.
Bless your husbands heart! What a thoughtful gift.
Hope you have a wonderful day~
xx

I'll be trying to get a run in this afternoon-you inspired me!! I hope you have a wonderful day, HMG! Enjoy that new gym when it gets set up!!

Ar

Still trouble sleeping? I have not been sleeping well the last few nights either but I am used to it. Hope you feel better soon. Look after yourself today.

Yes I don't sleep well at all. You get used to it after a while

Good Morning, Superior Seasonal Santa Supporters.

And how much longer must we wait for the Big Guy?
Well, let's inspect the numbers, which dwindle down by the day:
Days to Halloween: 18 (Barely over 2 1/2 weeks!)
Days to the Season: 31 (ONE MONTH FROM TODAY!!)
Days to Christmas Day: 73 (Now UNDER 10 1/2 weeks!)

The days are getting shorter, my Friends.
Are you ready -- ready for the inevitable??


Quite nice here in central NC yesterday, with plenty of sun, no rain and not a smidgen of excess temperature.
Today? Well, there's a slight chance of precip, but all in all, it should come pretty close to being a carbon copy of yesterday.
The morning has commenced here at 63 degrees.


Have a Terrific Tuesday, Everybody!

Oh wait that was me...I do love me some swiss cheese (although provolone is my favorite).

Happy Birthday to your Uncle!
Have a nice night Holiday!

Thanks HMG!! Continued prayers for Maggie. I'm glad to hear she is taking the antibiotic! Hope you both got some sleep last night! xx

Well I feel a nice evening of rest coming. Mondays I just don't feel like doing as much when I get home as opposed to the rest of the week. Just getting through the first work day after the weekend is enough of challenge.

I second this!
Enjoy your night, Edge~

I third that! Monday nights are a relax & re-coop night!

Elizabeth and her bff painted these today.

Super cute!!!

Good Evening all!

I have a confession....I just cannot do Mondays anymore, just can't, uggghhhh....I would like to boycott them from here on out! I say we do 4 tens and then have a 3 day weekend after that.
Just a suggestion, that's all.......

I got home from work and found out that they had taken my wife's grandfather to the hospital at 3 am last night because he was very sick. The doctor to my MIL that his stomach was twisted???? And that since he has dementia and other illness, he was very combative because he was confused, especially when they tried to put a feeding tube in him. They had to restrain him and both my wife and my MIL are very upset this evening. the doctor said that if it does not correct itself, they will have to operate on him to correct it and the recovery time is 6 weeks with a feeding tube in him the whole entire time. At 94 years old, my MIL said that she cannot put him (her father) thru any more suffering and would not approve the surgery. My wife agreed. I hope and pray that it corrects itself.

Oh my gosh xmas! I'm so sorry to hear about Lisa's Grandfather. Praying it corrects itself quickly!!! Sending hugs, thoughts & prayers your way!

 

[Holiday]

Glad to hear it~Continued prayers

Har is hanging in-had her shots this afternoon.
The vet sent paperwork home with Adi about heart murmurs. I need to call her about that. I'm kind of anxious now.

Hope Maggie sleeps better tonight~hugs to you both.

xx

Let us know what you find out. Hugs & prayers for you & Har!! Hope it's nothing serious!

 

[Holiday]

Morning all

Hope you all have a great day

Good morning irishsnow! Have a great Tuesday!

Oh no! I'm so sorry. Praying for your family!

Oh, now I see how to post a full picture from my phone! That's what I was trying to do yesterday. Elizabeth and her friend painted these hay bails yesterday afternoon in Bellville. I love it!

 

[Festive Spirit]

Wonderful! I love the weather when it's warm coat weather. We're a little warmer today but will go back to the fall temps tomorrow! 77 is still fall temps for us, just warmer than it has been!

Hope you have a lovely Tuesday FS!

It's cosy. I prefer when it is dry and crisp like this week so far. I can't stand the heavy rain and wind which can sometimes dominate things here.

 

[Holiday]

Good Morning, friends!
Merry Tuesday~
We never reached our high in the mid 60's during the day time. We stayed in the low 50's with high winds and rain. When I went to bed, it was in the 40's already. 24 hours earlier, it was close to 80 degrees when I took Har outside. 40 degree difference in one day! Crazy, even for here.
Wishing you all a blessed day~

That is some crazy weather! We hit 79º yesterday, but today is only predicted to hit 63º! Gracie & I went for a convertible ride last night. LOL!

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

It was a busy afternoon yesterday. I took my lawn mower back to Jim's shop and we confirmed it needed more work. Then we took Elizabeth to dance practice, and made our weekly trip to Walmart. We did get the KFC $20 Family Fill-up Bucket, so that was a treat for me!

Jim says the guy is still interested in buying my engine. We just need to get a total cost to build another one before we agree to sell it. Jim thinks the 350cid might be too small; now he's thinking 383 Stroker. Lord, help me!

I hope y'all have a great day!

 

[Holiday]

Merry Tuesday!
It is a cold crisp beautiful autumn day. We are back to autumn temps this week. Warm coats,hats and gloves were out this morning. Lots to do today before my son's birthday tomorrow! I have a to pop to the shops and then get a couple things done at home.

Have a great Tuesday everyone.

Stay warm!!!! Have a great day!

 

[Holiday]

Thank you!
You'll have to let me know what the veterinarian says, I'll be praying for you both.
Maggie was up again from about 2:00-5:00am. Little stinker is sleeping now.
Sending hugs back your way ♥

Sorry to hear she was up for so long over night!! Little booger sleeping in the morning when you have to get up!!! Praying for a better night tonight!

 

[Holiday]

Merry Tuesday, HmG~

I don't know how to dress either!
I'm going to be outside for a few hours today, in the mud, and it will only be in the 40s over that time Frame. The winds continue!
Then, I will have to pull myself together and be back at the office for meetings. Ha! It shall be interesting!

Hugs & prayers~
Thinking of you guys!

Good luck today!!

Good Tuesday morning MMC. It's currently 56 degrees under cloudy skies in the suburbs of NY. We are expecting a high today of 71 degrees with some showers. Actually it was raining (lightly) this morning when I went running. We had a brief shower. Tuesday well we can deal with it if we dealt with Monday right? I'm thinking Tuesday is almost like an extended Monday though .
Yesterday I picked the Chargers (I was up 1 game in my football league at work this weekend) and they lost. One person who was 1 game behind me picked the Steelers so he tied me however I won the tiebreaker (closest to the correct store wins that) so I won $52. Not bad. I paid $34 to join for the year so I just wanted to win 1 week and get my money back and make a little. Not that I'd mind to win again this season but I'm not gonna be greedy about it .
Well I'm ready for Tuesday. My coworker who's become like my little brother (a few people in the building have joked to me that he and I fight like "husband and wife" haha because we're always getting on each other all in good fun) is back today after a day off for him yesterday. My Monday will be next Monday when I'm off as a PTO day. Enjoy your Tuesday! Talk to you guys later.

Congrats on the $52 win!!
Always nice to have a buddy at work!
Have a great day Edge!
