Christmas Countdown - 2016

[snowflake22]

Happy Pines my friends!!
I have a busy day ahead. Working and my oldest daughter has her first high school soccer game at 3:45 so I am picking up my younger daughter and going to the game. Then my youngest is starting dance tonight from 6-7...she is taking a lyrical class. I am not really sure what that entails but it appears to be a "flowy" type and not too structured like ballet so I am sure she will enjoy it. lol
I did not sleep well last night so I am sure caffeine will be my friend today.
Hope you all have a great day!!

*Cheers* Coffee in hand =]
Hope your eldest daughter has a great and fun first game tonight!
And I hope your youngest daughter enjoys her lyrical dance class tonight!
Hope your day goes well!

Good Wednesday morning, Christmas friends!

I worked on my evening business until dark, and I was never more ready to be out of the humidity and dry. What a yucky couple of days we've had so far. Blech.

Nancy worked late, too. She's an accountant in her sister's CPA firm, and September 15 is some kind of deadline. It seems like the 15th of every month is some kind of tax deadline. I say the government needs to get a job, and stop stealing all our hard-earned money!!

Well, that's not likely to happen, so I hope y'all have a great day!

Happy Wednesday, Brad!
Hope your business is going great~
Please give Lulu a hug for Harlowe and I!
Have a fabulous day!

Good Morning, MMC!!! It's going to be a humid day here with some rain around this afternoon. I still have the rental car until tomorrow evening so I plan on doing some more running around today. Yesterday we ran back over to the Ohio border to a Amish grocery store. There were a few things we didn't get in PA that they carry. Today I'm going to stay closer to home and just head to the south side of Indy. There's a few discount stores that I keep seeing ads for that I want to check out. I also need to go to the grocery. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!

Good Morning, buddy~
Have fun shopping today! Hope you like the stores!
Have a GREAT DAY!!

Good morning MMC! Merry Pines Day!!! I hope everyone's day is off to a good start!!!

My how a forecast can change in a day. Yesterday there was 1 day in the 15 day forecast we were supposed to hit 80º or above. Today there are SEVEN days of 80's! LOL! Ah well, soon I'll be shivering, so I'll take um!

Everyone, have a fabulous day!!!

I'm hearing a warmer than average 1st half of fall and a colder than average 2nd half...which would mean a chilly holiday season.

Thank you so much FS. I've missed everyone, including yourself as well. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers, the Lord has been guiding us and lighting the path before us, so as we will know the way. It has been a journey, but yes, good things do come to those who wait.

AMEN!!

Good morning ~
Happy Pines Day!
It's going to be a nice day, sunny with a high of 82. I'm heading out in a few minutes, I have to pick up a couple of things at Target. Back home afterward to work on my daily chores. I think I'm going to attempt to take down my Autumn decorations myself, hopefully I won't drop anything! If any of the girls are around I'll get them to help me. That's about it.
Hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day ♥

Good Morning, HmG~
Happy Pines Day!!

Have fun decorating!! Your house always looks so beautiful!
Have a wonderful day!
Hugs & prayers <3

How exciting!!! Have fun decorating!!
LOL, don't tell Adi that...shhh!
You have beautiful decorations, and I love seeing them. How could they not make a person happy?!
Is it really 85 degrees there?
It's windy & 64 degrees here! Never made it to our high of 68 degrees.
Hope your evening is going well!

I won't tell Adi, I promise!
It really was (almost 85º) That is what was predicted but the highest I saw was 83º. Today we are supposed to have a high of 77 but it's cloudy/spitting rain.
High of 64º sounds so chilly!

Happy Pines Day!

I just got out of one of the most boring meetings I've been to in forever! Most of it had nothing to do with me and my position and I swear there were more of my coworkers either zoned out or on their phones snatching up Groupon deals then were actively paying attention. I had no other choice but to pay attention due to no signal on my phone.

In other news...London's first day with her new job went great. She was one of 4 new girls starting yesterday and the only one dressed professionally. She was already working the register and helping people on the floor. Since she works in a huge outlet mall this particular Victoria's is very big and has lots of opportunities for theft. She has to watch folks who not only work alone but as couples and in large groups. She has to watch for ppl who try things on while not being fully dressed and such which now gives me the hebegebee's for when I shop there. She told me there were a lot of non English speaking people in the mall and even though that is the mall we do a lot of shopping at that up until now she's never noticed how many there were. But overall she said the day went well. She has to work again today after her classes. I told her 'welcome to the world of a young person working their way thru college'. However she's lucky in the sense that her entire freshman year is paid for with no student loans so all of her money will just go to her personal living expenses.

Tonight is Lizzybeth's first Master's Club at church and she's very excited as well as the other kids at church for a new season of MC to begin. I was up last night sewing on the badges she earned at the Master Club end of the year banquet this past May. Yep, I'm the definition of a procrastinating parent. LOL

Have a wonderful Wednesday and I'll see you at the Pines!

Stay blessed.

Merry Pines Day, Ladybugkisses!
That's great that London's first day went well!
Hope she gets acclimated quickly, and enjoys it! It sounds like she's off to a great start.
Hope Lizzybeth has a wonderful time at Master Club tonight.
And I hope your day goes great!
See you tonight~

Good evening MMC!! It's rainy in the mid 50's with a breeze that make me think of winter and Christmas!!! Gets me excited!! Supposed to get down to the 40's tonight!! Good night everyone!!

Hope you are having a wonderful wedding week!

 

[Holiday]

As it stands, as of this exact moment, that may just be the plan!!!

It's all most hump day! Hump day is always a good day right Carl?

Guess what I saw tonight, and, I was not even looking for it. I was in the Lowes store here and there they were, they, were unloading crates and crates of Christmas trees and decorations of all sorts. I followed the guys with the pallet jacks and yup, up on the top shelf, they were placing all of the pallets, on the very top. Christmas decorations! Wow! I'm liking that!!!!

It's coming....soon the stores will be busting with Christmas!!!

When do you usually see your first snowfall?

I'm not ready for the 60s, that's getting downright cold compared to what we've had this Summer. Here this morning it was quite humid and muggy but winds have now picked up and there's a cool breeze going through the apartment.

Good evening,

Well the stress that has consumed me for the last 2 months is over, if you remember I had said a while back I had a major announcement to make. The time is now.
We have finally booked our family trip to Disney World!
I have spent hours upon hours going over every little detail of this trip for nearly 3 months now. I wasn't doing it only for the 4 of us, but my in laws too. Making sure I had everything lined up for 8 people. There are a few more loose ends to tie up, tickets to Universal and rental car, but basically it is just a matter of a few clicks on the computer now. It is such a huge relief to finally have this done. I honestly never thought it was going to be as stressful as it was.
I hope you all had a great day

Goodnight, everyone

How awesome & exciting! You all will have such a wonderful time thanks to your hard work putting it all together. Hope you have more time for relaxing now!!
Have a great day xmas!
