Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Holiday]

Good Morning, Enthusiastic Fellow Christmas Supporters!

Rise, shine, pour yourself a cup of tea and open today's copy of The Daily Countdown.

Ah!
It says that our next Milestone, the 200-day Christmas Day Window, arrives exactly ONE WEEK from tomorrow.
Not only that, but immediately following, we will be in a double-100's count mode.
(And if you read it in The Daily Countdown, it must be so!)

Days to the Season: 166
Days to Christmas Day: 208


Warm and humid with off-and-on rain is the order of the week.
This morning has commenced rather cloudy at 73 degrees here in central North Carolina, the heart of Panther country.


Have a Terrific Tuesday, Everyone!

Thanks crown!! Glad you had a great trip to the coast!! Have a good day!

Merry Tuesday everyone!!! Done work in 1 hour for the week again. Wish I could rewind and not answer my cell phone.

Enjoy your days off!! Turn off your cell phone!

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all had a great weekend. Got back from Frankenmouth late last night and it was so much fun! I found a couple of cool ornaments at Bronner's and we had a good time looking at all of the sites there.

Awe ~ I bet that was great!! I have never been to Frankemuth when it wasn't during the Christmas season. We should make the trip sometime when it's warm!! Have a great day FKB!

Good Tuesday everyone. Happy for those who have a short work week. It rained some yesterday and it broke the high humidity. Now it will be just a pleasant sunny day. I'm working later today. I've been dealing with a crooked neck and sore upper left shoulder since Sunday afternoon, having trouble turning my head/sleeping etc. It's getting a bit better this morning.

I just prepared a poster to encourage one of our employees who will be donating her loooooong hair next week. We'll gather donations and give the money to the Quebec cancer foundation in her name. I think what she is doing is so wonderful.

snowflake22 I sure hope the vet can give you some answers quickly. But I'm happy to know that little Harlowe is eating well and sticking with her meds. Hugs.

Hope you are feeling better as the day goes on!! How awesome that your co-worker is donating her hair. Some of my nieces have done that. Such a cool thing! Have a great day!

Extra prayers for Harlow!! I hope the vet has some answers for you! xx Gracie was acting kind of funny all weekend too. I'm not sure if it was the heat or she just wasn't feeling well. Hopefully all our poochies are "normal" again soon! Have a great day snowflake!

Thank you, holiday~
I just spoke with her, and she's concerned about bladder stones.
I need to get another urine sample at the end of the week.
Please keep her in your prayers.

Praying for Gracie! Hope she feels better soon <3

I. Can't. Believe. It's. The. Last. Day. In. May! How did that happen?? Glad to hear your BBQ went well & was delicious! We are having a BBQ tonight with my family!!

Have a great day!

Enjoy the BBQ tonight!

 

[Holiday]

What a nice thing to say ~ thank you so much!

You're welcome ~ it's true!

The stone is such a nice memorial ~ it will look great by the tree! xx

Thank you! It did turn out really well! It was a little bigger than I expected but it looks nice!

 

[Holiday]

Good Morning MMC..Looks like it is going to be nice today. Just work for me today and I need to catch up on folding laundry tonight. I hope you all have a great day!

Have a great day SFM!

Yes, the antique mall is in Birch Run. I agree ~ awesome to find a fellow Michigan Christmas fiend!! So very happy to have made your acquaintance on here, FKB!!

We have done some damage to our credit cards at Birch Run in the past!

I hear those quotes ... why is it that the four-day weeks after a Monday holiday rarely feel shorter?

Truth!

 

[Holiday]

Good morning, Happy Tuesday!
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend. Back in to the swing of things today. I'm heading out soon, I have to do some food shopping. Back home afterward to work on the laundry, I definitely slacked this weekend and it really piled up. I have a couple of other errands to run this afternoon so I'll be in and out today. I'll pop back in when I can. Hope everyone is well and has a nice day!

Hope you are having a good catch up day!

 

[Holiday]

Good, uh, Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

Three-day weekends always through me off, but in a good way! We spent the weekend following Jacob's band around, like star-struck groupies LOL. I have to say, every time they play, they sound better. It's hard not to jump on stage and grab a guitar, too! I don't think he would appreciate that, though.

They played on St. Simon's Island last night, and spent the night to go to the beach this morning, so Nancy & I got home late last night. I'm still dragging. Coffee pot, here I come again!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Sounds like a great weekend!! My nephew (through marriage) & his Dad play together in a band... I think you should jump up there & join in! Have a great day Brad! Hope the coffee has kicked in by now!

Good morning Rich!

I can't believe you found a post-Christmas sale this late in the year! I would all over that LOL!

I love to hang out in the candle section of Hobby Lobby when they start putting out Fall & Christmas candle. Ahhh.

Me too! I had my nose in all the Christmas candles yesterday.

Enjoy your BBQ too!

Good morning guys & gals! Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a wonderful memorial weekend! The weather turned out to be awesome! We had a major downpour Saturday night just as we were getting ready to eat our smoked food - but not a big deal, we just piled inside & ate. And I must say it was quite delicious! Then us girls played marbles. Haven't played that for a long time ~ it got pretty heated! Ha ha!!! It was fun!

This morning has been a little unusual. I was supposed to stay with Mom last night but her AC went out, so my sis took her to her house on Saturday night & she stayed there for the weekend. I had already told my boss I would be in late this morning since I thought I would be staying with Mom ~ I woke up today & felt like I had a cow sitting on my chest! I'm not sure if it's a cold or allergies! My co-worker said he had the same thing, all weekend. UGH! Anyway, I'm feeling better now, but I did take advantage of coming into work late. I stayed at the lake a little longer this morning & enjoyed some couch & tv time! Hard to come in after that. What a beautiful morning!

THEN I got some sad news that my Moms youngest sister was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer! UGH! Cancer sucks! Makes me so sad. She's such a sweet lady! Her husband died of kidney cancer probably close to 15 years ago. I hate this for their family! She see's a specialist on Thursday which also happens to be my uncle Bobs funeral. Viewing is Wednesday so I guess I'll be off work Thursday instead of today. What a week, huh?! Just reinforces that we need to cherish family, friends & health!

Everyone, have a great day!!!

Have a great day Holiday!
Hope you feel better and sorry to hear about the diagnosis of your aunt. (((HUGS)))

I know, right? Probably because we're playing catch up all week.

Thanks so much, Yuletide Junkie!

Mmmmboy ... 83F and sunshine. I took a quick walk around the block after my lunch break and loved it.

An organic soft-drink company is moving out of the building; they put a cooler full of their seltzers and sodas in the lobby. I'm drinking a mildly fizzy orange-mango soda. Very summery!
