Christmas Countdown - 2015

[Holiday]

Good morning, holiday!
Happy Pines day!
Stay warm!
We woke up to a frost this morning
It is a bit chilly!
Hope you have a great day ~

Frost?? Ahhhhh~~ Brrrrrr~!! We will probably see that Sunday morning! BRRRRRR

That's my girl! ;-)

Yes, I hope I can too!
Harlowe is doing pretty well, thanks.
I'm enjoying the fall beauty at its peak, and looking forward to the weekend
Hope you and Gracie are well!

I'm glad to hear Harlowe is doing better!! Gracie & I are good too. You should have seen her when I got home last night from hair cut/eating out. She was on her hind legs jumping for a minute or 2 - sooooo excited to see me. LOL!! What a goof!! I wasn't gone long!! LOL

I used to work at a jewish company and had 15 paid holidays a year...the trade-off was I was making significantly less money there than I am here. They also gave us 3 weeks of vacation AND 3 weeks of sick...although I never used the sick time.

Wow that's nice - minus making less $$ We do have 8 paid holidays here.

Thanks have a great day Holiday. And yeah it's semi-disappointing but I am used to working a day or 2 in between...and I get to save a PTO day or 2 that way.

That's great you have PTO days so you can be off!!

At work they are talking about the Christmas party. They really do a nice one every year at this fancy restaurant place. They do a presentation and everything and give us a bonus check. I feel like we were just at last year's. Time goes so fast.

That sounds nice & exciting!! And yes - time definitely does fly!

Good morning everyone, Happy Pine's Day!
I'm heading out soon, I'm going to bring my mother to an eye doctor appointment. We're going to stop at a couple of stores afterward and then go out to lunch. Back home afterward to catch up with my daily chores, workout and make a tray of lasagna for dinner. I'll pop back in at some point. Hope everyone is well and has a nice day!

I hope your Mom's appointment goes very well! Have fun with her today. Lasagna sounds yummy! Have a great day!

Happy Wednesday and Pines day. Looking forward to what should be a neat weekend. Our son will be home from college for 4 days on fall break. We are forecast to have our 1st frost on Saturday morning. The fall color is reaching its peak. Great time to be in the mountains.
Have a blessed day.

Sounds beautiful! Have a great weekend with your son!!

Anyone ever notice that leftover lasagna reheated tastes even better than the first day it's cooked?

I don't get the flu shot either. I can't say I never get sick-mostly a cold, but so many people I know get sick as soon as they get the shot! I may get one when I get older (like my parents do/did) but for now, nada!

I'm the opposite ... since I started to get annual flu shots, I've never had the flu! The worst I get is a sore muscle in my arm for a day or two. Just made an appointment to get this year's!

I hope it cools off for you soon! xx You can come on out to Ohio!! Have a great day CAH! stay cool!

Would love to!!!

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Extreme is the norm there huh?

Yes it is!

 

[Edge612]

Yes it is!

I don't know if I would like the 100 degrees summers every day. But I would prefer warmer winters than where I live.

Yep - soup too!

Good afternoon, friends!
Hope that your Pines Day is going well.
Thoughts & prayers for all~

Don't you hate those times when a bunch of expensive repairs are needed all at once? We've had dental work (both of us), car repairs, and a new water heating system, all in two weeks. This has to stop!

The "check engine" light turned out to be $800+. Ouch. Some kind of road debris slashed an emissions filter open, and that set off the light.

Yes, I do hate that! We're going through the same thing right now.

Praying that it stops for all of us!

Happy Pines Snowflake...hope you are having a goo day!

Merry Wednesday Morning MMC! Hope you all are well! Happy Birthday to FestiveSpirit's son!!

Heading into a full day of work in a bit, then church tonight. I'm sure time will fly. I'm getting my flu shot today as well (can't work around senior adults and not have one-the flu could seriously hurt them!), and trying to keep my stress level down. I've found Christmas music actually really helps with that-I notice my heart rate slowing and my breathing becoming deeper when I listen to it!

Soon it'll be everywhere again, which I can't wait for!
But for today, I hope everyone has a lovely Pines Day and enjoys what the day has to offer!

Hope your day is going well DYHWIH! Christmas music is always relaxing for me and puts me in a good mood too!

Good Wednesday Morning MMC. Ahh yes mid-week is here. We currently have 53 degrees under mostly clear skies in the suburbs of NY. We are expecting a high temperature of 67 today under partly sunny skies. Still loving these October weather days (although the weekend forecast looks more like November type weather).
How's everyone doing as we head into mid week? I almost forgot that I had off next Monday so even extra for me to look forward to these next 3 days. As I mentioned yesterday in a post I received my annual raise yesterday and feel fortunate. My office decided to "not close" for the week between Christmas and New Years as to give the employee's an option to not use PTO and work instead. I told them I might come in for 1 or 2 days tops but that's it. I need at least 9 out of 11 days off during that time of year. I'm gonna see my coworker wants to do. Last year we worked 3 days that week after Christmas and I told him I'm not doing that much again.
Anyway, tonight I'm going to the Chinese buffet for dinner. That's even more motivation to do this Wednesday thing huh? Happy Hump Day and Pines day everyone! Talk to you guys later.

Have a good day Edge...enjoy the buffet!

Thank you both.
Maggie is sleeping peacefully right now. Last night, not so much. My husband took her on the couch in the middle of the night so I could get a few hours of sleep. She'll be on the antibiotics for two weeks so I'm hoping that what ever is going on will improve.

Happy Wed HMG...hope Maggie is better. So glad you were able to sleep a bit.

Good afternoon

Good Morning Christmas Friends!

We have been in the mid 90's for the past several days. At work on Sunday it was 95 degrees and our AC was out - fun! Where is fall? This weekend will drop down to the lower 80's and I hope it keeps on dropping!

How is everyone?

Have a great day!! Our temps are supposed to drop as well! I am looking forward to it too!
