I'm sure you'll love your new addition! Will it affect how you decorate for Christmas? How exciting for you guys :)

We got new living room furniture in the spring, and we know how we'll rearrange that to fit in a tree. We have to buy a new one this year as part of the lights on the pre-lit tree went out last year. DD won't be able to put a tree in her new room as there won't be enough room, but she can still put it up in her old room, which will now be a guest room/playroom. We'll have room to put a tree in our bedroom now, but we'll see if that's something we want to do. We'll have a large rec room in the basement & we can put a tree there too. I don't need more Christmas decor, I just needed more room to spread it out & we're getting it with the addition!

I do like ice cream ... but I got the tip from The Straight Dope!
One way to avoid brain freeze in the first place is SLOW DOWN! That big, wolf-sized bite will bite you back. (Not always easy to do, though!)

LOL! Truth! ;)

Cooler, gray, and damp today, the reverse of yesterday.
SO glad it's Friday. Day 18 of laryngitis, and still awful low on energy, so I'm hoping for some extra sleep this weekend. I have a checkup next week, so I can ask if there's anything more I can do to get rid of this.

(((Hugs))) I'm sure you are getting frustrated! I hope they have another option for you to get rid of it!! Get some rest this weekend ~ but 1st, have a great Friday!

Sounds amazing! I hope you will post some pics! :)
 
Good morning ~
I'm just having my coffee, watching the news. Praying for Dallas. Praying for peace. It's so upsetting. Not too much going on here today. My daughter has to renew her drivers license, I'm going to take a ride to the DMV with her and keep her company. We're going out for lunch afterward. We may take a ride to the outlets to do some shopping as well. My husband will be home with Maggie so I can stay out a little bit longer if I want to. That's about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day.

Hope you have a good weekend. It is definitely upsetting waking up seemingly every other day seeing some other tragedy. I just wish it would all stop.

Good evening,

Another fun day, we went and saw "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows" today. It was a fun movie, we will probably pick it up when it comes out on Blu ray. We went to a car show tonight, but found out it was canceled due to the thunderstorms that never materialized. We will try it again next Thursday night.
My sister is driving up from North Carolina tomorrow, so we will get to spend time with her and my niece and nephew for a week and a half. It has been almost two years since we have seen my sister, and a few years longer for her kids.

Winding down watching the '80's classic "The Great Outdoors" now, whenever I watch a John Candy movie, I realize how much I miss him.

I hope you all had a great day.
Goodnight, everyone

The great outdoors and summer rental are two of my favorite summertime movies. And planes, trains, and automobiles is a Thanksgiving must of course.

Good morning all my Christmas loving friends !


It rained here !! We so badly needed it, going to get more this afternoon, hopefully.
I am off today but stuck working all weekend. They hire teenagers for weekends then let them have so much time off us regular day shift folks end up working instead. I think it is time we all stood up and said no !

My new counter top for my cake room arrives today , so excited. once that is in I will have a really great work area.. After that need the sink installed and I will be ready for health inspector. If I get the green light from them I will be open for business again.

Hope you all have a fantastic day !!

Good Morning, Weekend Anticipators.
Well, the anticipation will not go on much longer.

Now, the anticipation of Christmas Season 2016 may be more extended but its arrival may be much closer than you might think!

Days to the Season: 128
Days to Christmas Day: 170

In fact, you will note that in just FOUR WEEKS from today, we will pass through the 100-day Window and into a DOUBLE DIGIT count.
But before that, in less than a week now, we will enter the LAST third of our Season count!
(Ah! The anticipation!)


Yet another rainy afternoon here yesterday with another severe thunderstorm warning that thankfully did not play out.
With lots of humidity around today and a predicted high well into the 90's, it likely will not be pleasant one.
Currently, we are at 74 degrees here in central NC.


Have a Fantastically Fabulous Friday, Friends.
And prepare yourselves for a grrrrrrrreat Weekend!
