Merry, I had no idea you were a fan of Mrs. Brown. LOL! I have strangely took a liking to it a few years back and the Christmas specials are a tradition of mine also. It's one I need to watch after the kids are down though :)

Have you ever seen The Vicar of Dibley? I think you might like it. The christmas specials are a must see for me too during the season.

I had no idea there were any fans of Mrs. Brown here! I hear it's the number-one-rated show on Christmas Day in the U.K.! Someone sent us link to a clip on YouTube last winter, and we wound up buying the entire series. (We have a DVD player than will play PAL.) And yes, definitely not for the kids, but SO funny! It's so profane, I don't know why I enjoy it so much, but it never fails to make me laugh. "That's nice!"

I've heard of "The Vicar of Dibley," it's been on PBS, but I haven't seen an episode. Wait, maybe I have ... we have a DVD of U.K. Christmas episodes, and there might be one on there.
 
Good Morning, Weekend Eve Arrivers.

Sure enough, just as Weekend Eve arrives, so do the latest count numbers.
And they just keep getting more and more shocking by the day:
Days to Halloween: 8 (ONE WEEK TOMORROW!)
Days to the Season: 21 (Three weeks from today!)
Days to Christmas Day: 63 (Nine weeks from today!)

Wow.
So near, yet so............NEAR!


Beautiful here yesterday for late October.
(Well, actually beautiful for most any time of the year!)
Moderate temps, no precip, gentle breezes, low humidity, plenty of sun.
Who could ask for more?
(Unfortunately, it will just make the inevitable crash that much more difficult to bear!)
Right now, we record 52 degrees here in our little sector of the great state of North Carolina and the weather service says we are bound for the upper 70's by this afternoon.


Well, I shall leave you now in the very capable hands of our tag-team guest counters, Edge and Brent, and will see you here bright and (not too) early Monday morning.


Have a Fabulous Friday, Friends, and a Wildly Wondrous, Wacko Weekend, too!
 
Would you believe ... on Mr.'s car, the same component has just failed that was damaged on my car a week or so ago. For about the same cost. Ka-ching!! When does the Unexpected Expenses support group meet?? I may need an emergency session!

(Our dealership's service department is honest, so they're not pulling our leg on this.)

That is really poor luck. Ouch! What a strange coincidence. Maybe it's the time of year for strange and unusual with halloween just around the corner.
I hope this is the last of your expenses.

Emergency session can be arranged ! :D

Bring tea and sympathy!
Holy cow, I've never seen so many large unexpected expenses in such a short amount of time. I hope too that this is the last for a while!
One bright spot is that I have a lot of audio-editing work to do, and thanks to a laptop I can work on that while I wait for the repairs. So my time at the shop isn't being wasted.
Wait, two bright spots ... I can also talk to you while I wait!

Good Friday Morning MMC! We currently have 49 degrees under clear skies. We're expecting a high temperature today of 57 degrees with sunny skies. 57 is quite a drop from yesterday but hey that's a little closer to where we should be for late October.
We made it to another Friday. Now we can sail into the weekend later today. I'm looking forward to it as this 4 day work week for me has been pretty busy. I am looking forward to a weekend of relaxing and catching up on Halloween stuff...of course the normal errands, exercise, and homework have to get done also. Hard to believe this is the last weekend before Halloween. Looking forward to doing the count on Saturday for Crown. Hopefully I won't mess up too bad :).
Enjoy the fact we're on Friday. Talk to you guys later!

Happy Friday Edge!
I hope you have a nice day and a great weekend!!!
 
MerryCarey said:
Thank you ... I'm at the shop now, and it will be $110 just for the diagnostic, not counting the repairs!!
And to make it worse, I grabbed my backpack on the way out, but my wallet and phone and credit card are in my purse ... Mr. is fetching them and will drive here with my purse ... IF he can find where I left it.
It's one of THOSE days already!

Sending hugs, hope your day improves!

Arrgh ... Now the "check engine" light is on in Mr.'s car ... I'll be spending my day off in the shop tomorrow. I'm bracing for more expensive repairs. At least I'll have you folks there to keep me company.

I'm sorry, I know how you feel. Our car died last weekend on me while coming home from grocery shopping. We knew it would die soon and it did. My husband has been looking at cars all week. He might be picking up a new one today. We haven't had a car payment in years. I HATE cars!
