Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Festive Spirit]

A completely off topic observation - I love that you spell my handle, "grey..." LOL My grandfather was from Dublin, Ireland. He was a professor of electrical engineering at Pittsburgh University. I spent most of my time with him as a child and he was the one who taught me how to read and write. He taught me to spell the color gray - G R E Y. Common spelling for him. Most teachers always accepted either-or till we came to Florida. I was in high school when an Englisher teacher sp'd the word, "grey," with a red marker several times over my paper. I was so confused. She made such an issue of it, I deliberately made a point of making sure I always changed the spelling to "gray," after that. I have noticed that when I travel to the northeast it's more common to see it spelled with an, "e," and friends I have from Europe also spell it with an "e." A silly thing that makes me happy.

Aww that is a sweet story about your grandfather and your childhood.
I actually never noticed I was doing it and only now realised that you spell it differently in your handle. LOL It's just my bristishness LOL! Anyway I honestly hope you don't mind!

Monday, how'd that happen?

Was thinking the same.
Have a good week!

 

[Festive Spirit]

Amen!
Feels like we never even had one, lol

Tell me about it!!!!!

Good evening,

A good day off, we went to Friendly's for breakfast before heading to Barnes & Noble. I didn't find anything I wanted today, but just love to walk around there.
I did make a visit to Hallmark, and picked up 3 ornaments at 75% off. They had a ton of leftover ornaments.
I picked up:
Transformers-Megatron (gotta get my 80's toy memories for my tree)

Santa's Sleigh Bell

The Merriest House In Town.

So a good day in finding stuff. I am just waiting for the 90% off sale to pick up others.
Watching the new show on TBS named Angie Tribeca, it is quite funny in the stupid funny way, think Airplane, The Naked Gun.
Back to work in the a.m. No long weekend here, the public needs me.

Goodnight, everyone.

Those are fantastic finds Xmas365!! Only a few months till you put them up!

Merry Monday,
Hope everyone is rested and ready for the week ahead.
We have warmed up to a tolerable 3C today. Mr F has gone to work because he has so much to do but I am doubtful he will last the day as he is still struggling. My youngest will be going back to nursery today after being off ill too. I have work to do so hoping for a productive day.
Don't let the Monday blues get you down. It's a big day today as I am sure Crown will announce shortly! (At least I think I have that right).

 

[Festive Spirit]

Thank you, Sam. I am starting to feel better.

Hope you rest peacefully tonight!

How are you this morning, Stacey? What about Har?
I hope that you are both back to good health and in good spirits.

Great ornament finds!!

Happy Monday, friend. Have a great day!

Thanks Xmas! We had an awesome time, I'm glad we went. The Islanders were trailing most of the game but they tied it up with less than a minute to go. Super exciting! But then we lost in the shootout. You know how I feel about those shootouts. Wish they would go back to the old fashioned way and let them play hockey!

Glad you guys had a great time!

 

[snowflake22]

Goodnight everyone!
Hugs and prayers <3

Getting a little snow here ... So nice to not have to go in to the office tomorrow. I do have some things to do around the house, though.

Enjoy the beautiful snow, and day off!

Good evening, MMC!! Had a busy day today starting with being Installed as a staff member at church (for Multimedia and Sound Engineer) so I was at church for 2 services for that and because we have become a new church, I am on an Organization For Misson Steering Team as we try and get a feel for how the congregation is feeling about the church and where they would like to see it go and grow, so I had to talk about a survey we launched today to get that info. We are working with a consulting group that is helping us gather and interpret the info. Then after that we came home and clean the house up a bit (took some decorations down) and then I met up with two other congregation members and we moved the last of my old churches multimedia and worship technology equipment out of our old building (which is now owned by the local Boys & Girls Club) to our temporary building. Then I watched the Broncos game (the 2nd half at least) and then got supper and picked up my daughter from her mother's. Then watched my Flyers beat the Red Wings in a shootout!!

Thanks for all the concern about my calf. It's still sore, but much better than yesterday. Didn't get a chance to ice it, but I had a heating pad on it last night and will do so again tonight. And no Merry, it's not from crossing everything! I'm still doing it, hoping and praying for good news for Mr!

Snowflake, I'm glad to hear you're starting to feel better! Keep resting, my friend!

I'm glad all our friends in Florida are safe and praying for those there that have been affected by the tornadoes.

For those with the day off tomorrow, enjoy your 3 day weekend (I know I will) and for those that have to work, I hope your day goes smoothly for you.

And for those friends across the pond, I hope the weather is shaping up better for you guys and that your day goes as planned or in your favor if not as planned!

Good night MMC! Sweet dreams to all!

Sean

Good Morning, Sean~
Happy Monday!
It sounds like you had a busy day yesterday. Congrats on being installed as a staff member at your church! They are blessed to have you.
Glad that your calf is feeling better, continued prayers for healing and pain relief.
Thanks for your well wishes, I rested yesterday and am going to head back to work today. Fingers crossed.
Hope you have a wonderful day!

Merry Monday, Sam!
Extra thoughts & prayers for Mister Festive today. Sending energy and best wishes his way.
Hope your youngest has a good day, too.
Hope you have a cozy & productive day!
*hugs*

How are you this morning, Stacey? What about Har?
I hope that you are both back to good health and in good spirits.

I am doing okay, still not 100% but hoping for the best. I went to bed early last night, so that should help.
I really need to be in the office and hold down the fort for the hotel project.
Harlowe is still having her stomach problems, but is handling it much better than she was on Friday.
Adrian is back home, so at least I won't worry so much about her while I'm at work.
Thanks for asking

Another new week, January is flying by. Hope everyone is going fantastic and keeping out of trouble

Merry Monday, DoubleA!
Hope you are doing well

 

[snowflake22]

Good morning, friends~
Happy Monday!!
It is another chilly start at -14°
Warming up to 0° today if we're lucky.
Hope we see some sunshine!
Wishing you all a wonderful start to your week. Enjoy the day off if you're one of the lucky ones =]
Have a blessed day!
