Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Edge612]

It's got bread- the crust
vegetables- tomato sauce (or others)
dairy- cheese
meat- pepperoni (and others)

Looks like all the major food groups to me!

Thanks, Edge.
My body needs a break I think. I am feeling pretty weak and achy. Extra rest is in order.
TGIF!!!

Well rest some this weekend. I'm gonna make time for that too.

Good Friday Morning MMC! TGIF to one and all! Yes it's Friday and this week just seems twice as long as last week. I'm not sure why that is. Hard to believe Christmas was 3 weeks ago. In some ways it feels like 3 seconds ago and in other ways it feels like 3 months ago. Very strange but I always find Jan/Feb to be strange. I saw a few houses that were lit previously that didn't have lights on this morning yet there's a few houses that hadn't been lit that were this morning! It's like everyone doesn't just want to fully let go of Christmas. They should come to MMC and then they would never have to!
Have a great Friday everyone!

Always a good idea.

That's cool and yeah 3AM is a little too early for me lol.. One time I ran at 4AM (not sure why the coldest day of the winter last year I woke up on a Thursday and ran that early) but a police car pulled up near me and it was about 30 below 0 with the wind. He must have thought I was either robbing someones house or escaped from an insane asylum cause who else would be out at 4AM on a 30 below 0 type windchill morning?

I can about imagine what that looked like!! What all do you wear to keep warm when it's that cold? I need to invest in a face mask to cover my chin and nose...those are the only things that get extremely cold when the wind is blowing for me, at least when I'm warmed up from running that is.

 

[Edge612]

When it's that extreme I just wear a hat and gloves...a sweatshirt and a light jacket. But I remember those days I came home once or twice and bent over in pain holding my hands cause they hurt even though I had gloves on. Not fun. Hope you stay warm the rest of this winter!

Good Morning, Appreciators of Weekend Eve.
Well, I guess that makes today Appreciation Day because Weekend Eve is here!

So are the latest count numbers:
Days to the Season: 303
Days to Christmas Day: 345

And HARK!
Note well that there is now UNDER HALF A WEEK TO GO to the 300-day Season Window and the start of a 200's level Season count.
(Wow. We sure closed in on that Milestone fast!)


Well, we had a bit of a warm respite here, yesterday.
Today won't be too bad temperature wise but the rains are supposed to return.
(It's hard for us to get both warmth and dryness together at this time of the year.)
We stand just under 39 degrees at this hour here in the capital city.


Have a Fabulous Friday Folks.
And thoroughly enjoy your Weekend Eve!

Thanks Crown! I know what you mean even if it warms up it seems to rain and then when it gets cold it's sunny!

Oh no! Hope you are feeling better this morning? Stay warm. Your temps are ridiculous! Stay safe!

You are gonna have a hard time running if you keep your legs crossed this long lol. Probably gonna be all wobbly. By the way, do you stretch before you run? I never have. My friend who's older than me (10 years older he's 47, I'm 37) says I'm nuts. I read in several places online that stretching is a big myth. But I just never wanted to nor felt the need to. I just run, some days slower and some days faster. It depends how I feel.

I have read several times that it's more important to stretch after exercise? Have you heard that?

TGIF, my Christmas friends!

It is POURING outside. Yuck. I work in an office trailer near the main office, and I make dozens of laps back and forth every day, but something tells me they won't see much of me today! Poor Lulu wouldn't even go outside for her "business" this morning. I hope she's not too uncomfortable.

And I hope y'all have a great day!

I went out this evening and Christmas stuff is 70% off still. Yep it's still Christmas around these parts! I bought one wrapping paper. I bought one last year in January with a similar sale. Partially cause it's cheap but more because I keep it out all year where it's visible in the corner of my bedroom. Just little reminders of Christmas I like to keep. But I do plan on taking my tree down on Sunday!

Booo to taking down the tree!!

I hope they worked out for Mr. today.

Thank you!
He had a short phone interview with a company yesterday, and it went very well. We'll see if they call him for an in-person interview. Today he has to go into Boston to take an hour-long test (!) in order to qualify for a possible temp contract position. With his experience, he'll do just fine. And he's still waiting to hear back on a temp contract position he interviewed for in late December; the job listing is still open. So we're hoping that 2016 will open some doors instead of closing them.
