Christmas Countdown - 2016

[snowflake22]

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's spring! Of course, it's been spring for a few weeks around here. All the dogwood trees and azaleas are blooming, and all of our vehicles are yellow with pollen. I saw a fully meme a couple days ago with a picture of a car covered with pollen. The caption read "It doesn't snow in the south, it pollens." True dat!

Our plant is closed for Good Friday, so this is a short week for me. Woohoo!

I worked Saturday morning, then went to Jim's shop to work on the Camaro. One piece at the time!

Yesterday we had dinner and an Easter egg hunt for Bernie's side of the family. I'm still full of boiled eggs LOL.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Merry Monday, Brad~
Happy Spring, too!!
Enjoy your short work week~
I bet you had fun working on the Camaro!!
Have a wonderful day

As expected, it started to snow overnight, and we're expecting 3 to 6 inches before it's over. Schools in my area are delayed 2 hours, and the radio is reporting some spinouts and crashes on major highways, so I'm staying put and working from home for now. If they need me onsite later, I'll drive in when the snow is over and the driveway is clear. Also, my elbow is hurting again, so I'm not feeling ambitious or adventurous this morning.

Be safe Merry. We got about 2 inches of snow but it didn't stick to the roads thankfully!

 

[Edge612]

I am relieved that you did not have to witness such a tragedy and that you are safe.

Thanks! Yeah its just you never know as they say...

 

[snowflake22]

Yes I know. Just amazing how I could have been there within a few minutes. It's sad...don't know what happened. It's a clear area where you can see pretty far down both sides of the road if anyone is coming...even when I walk in a parking lot I always feel like I'm gonna get run over cause the way people drive is not good.

Sad and very scary.
Stay safe.

Good morning MMC! Monday already! How'd that happen?

Yesterday was the day - 1st day of spring! I took down all my snowmen (how did I accumulate SO MANY snowmen??) & I also took down the tree in the sunroom. AND unplugged "Mikes tree" outside. It was time! The house seems so bare now! I missed the lights in the room already last night. I'm not going to mess with putting up Easter things since it's less than a week away & I'm not hosting Easter. NEXT weekend the lake is supposed to open again for the season, (April 1) IF the owner of the marina is back from Florida. xx Doesn't seem possible that it's almost lake season!!!

We finished up at my SIL's house on Friday. There is still SO MUCH STUFF there. We are hoping we don't get a cleaning fee from the peeps who inherited the house! But they can deal with it! They just got a nice house, for free! Right?! We took 3 - 24' trailers full of things home. Hauled 2 dump trunks full to the junk yard. Brought home multiple, multiple van/truck/suv's full of stuff. Hauled at least 15 van loads to goodwill, antique people took 3 van loads full of things....and there's still more! The inheritor was in a rush to get in & start remodel, so it is what it is!

Have a Magnificent Monday my MMC friends!

Wow it's time for the lake huh Holiday? Already...

 

[Edge612]

Nancy woke up with the stomach flu on Christmas morning about 10 years ago. She couldn't even get out of the bed to see what Santa brought the kids. Of course, by the end of that day we all had it. Yuck!

Yuck is right. Not such a "Merry" Christmas huh?

Lucky you being off Good Friday! I had the last 2 off so I can't complain. You're in summer weather already huh?

Good evening and Happy St. Paddy's Day!!!!

We did the transition from corned beef to hams at work today, it was the easiest transition ever since we sold out of our corned beef. Now we have 10 days to sell 4 pallets worth of hams.
A quiet night at home for us, we already did our traditional corned beef dinner over the weekend, so it was grilled chicken salads tonight.

I wore my green to work today, of course I did it in my own style to get a laugh from people.
This was my shirt...

I got quite a few laughs.
It is Friday eve for me once again, I have my second weekend in a row off, this time for LC's 8th birthday. He turns 8 Sunday, but the party is Saturday. I can't believe my baby is almost 8!
I must head to get some slumber.
I hope you all had a fun and safe St. Patrick's Day.

Not an Irish song but it has bits of the Irish song "Darby Kelly" in it...

Goodnight, everyone!

Love the shirt! I hope LC had a fun birthday weekend!! xx

 

[Holiday]

Good Morning, MMC!!!! It's going to be a colder day here with a high in the low 50's today. I can deal with that since it should be nice and sunny. Not to much going on here today. Mom's face is drooping so I'll just be watching her to see if it's going to be a mild one or if I need to take her in. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!

Oh no! I hope it was a mild one & you both had a nice weekend! xx

 

[Holiday]

I'm working on getting caught up, but I'm still on Friday's posts. LOL

 

[Edge612]

I'm working on getting caught up, but I'm still on Friday's posts. LOL

This won't help...

 

[Edge612]

Nor will this...

 

[Edge612]

ok I'll be back later when holiday catches up....

Good evening,

Just a lazy Sunday here, I woke up late, took a nap for a few hours, and now pretty much ready for bed. My baby is now 8 years old, so hard to believe how fast time is moving. I work the next 6 days in a row for my punishment of having a weekend off, but the weekend off is well worth it. That will bring us right to Easter, we will be heading to my in-laws for Easter and MIL will be making a turkey and I will be making a sirloin spoon roast (most likely wrapped in bacon) for the family's celebration.
I hope you all had a great weekend.

Goodnight, everyone.

Happy Monday Xmas, hope you have a great week ahead!

Merry Morning!
It might be Monday but it is a new day and a new week and for that I am thankful.

Thank you so much!

Good morning!

A chilly start to the morning, but the sun is supposed to shine today so it should warm up to the low 40s. Yesterday was cold, but sunny. I had a monster of a headache to start the day, but it went away quickly and I was able to get quite a lot done. Lots more to do today. Off to a good start as I already prepped the cabbage so I can make Kimchi later this afternoon.

Be safe and merry!

Merry Monday Meceka! I'm glad your headache went away quickly yesterday, I know that is a tough way to start the day.
I hope your day goes well!
xx

Have a Java kinda day ! Yabba!

Have a nice day Binger!

Good Monday Morning MMC! Happy Easter Week! Hope everyone had a great weekend. I can't complain cause I've had back to back 3 day weekends. Time to put in a couple of 5 day weeks before I get another long weekend in April. On Saturday evening I went to this show at a local arena and when I came out around 10PM to go back to my car (I left early to try to get to the lot to get out before many others left) I saw lots of cop cars and flashing lights. I was like wow what happened...looked like a scene out of a movie. I saw someone on a stretcher and realized a car had crashed. I got home to find out on the news that someone had hit a pedestrian who was crossing the intersection and killed them. Unbelievable. They said it happened literally within a few minutes of when I had left the arena so I almost saw it live (scary to even think about). Anyway as they say just appreciate everyday because life is crazy and we never know what will happen. Not to sound somber about it...but more just to appreciate today for what today is.
Have a great Monday everyone!

Good morning Edge, Happy Monday ~
I'm sorry to hear about the accident, sending up prayers for all that were affected. So sad.
I hope your day goes well.

good morning, gotta run...enjoy your first Monday of spring...it is snowing here !

Good morning Star!
I hope you have agreat day!!!

Good Morning, All.

Here we are again. At the start of yet another week. The beginning of the next set of 7 steps, each one of which advances us forward towards Christmas Season 2016.

The count:
Days to the Season: 237
Days to Christmas Day: 279

Five -- count 'em -- FIVE more days remain until we have completed the first quarter of our march back to Christmas Day.
(Making steady progress, we are!)

Well, it was quite chilly and overcast here all day yesterday and the temperature never got out of the lower half of the 40's.
Today should see a nice improvement to the upper 50's, then a beautiful next several days with warm temps and no rain at least until Friday.
Currently, we stand at 39 degrees here in the capital city.


Have a Marvelous Monday, Everyone!

Thanks Crown!
Wishing you a marvelous Monday as well!

I'm glad you're able to work from home today. Be safe if you must go out. I hope your elbow feels better. Have a nice day MerryCarey.

Merry Monday!! We got about 3-4 inches of snow and my kids had a 2 hr delay. Just work today and I took 1/2 day off in the afternoon on Friday. Not sure what I am doing but my husband and kids are off so maybe we will go out to lunch or something. Hope you all have a good day!
