Christmas Countdown - 2017

[Bradmac]

Good Monday morning, Christmas friends!

As @Edge612 noted, I know the Superbowl is a big deal for most folks. I wish I liked to watch ball games, but I just can't get into it. I don't mind watching a game, but keeping up with statistics isn't worth the effort to me LOL. I watch some of the Superbowl mainly because I usually wind up at a game-watching gathering. I think we'll all be at Bernie's store this weekend watching. I mostly watch for the commercials.

At least there'll be plenty of chips & dip!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Happy Superbowl Week! Hope everyone had a good weekend. I'm looking forward to next weekend already because I will be off Monday (day after the Superbowl). Will be my 1st 3 day weekend since New Years. Sounds like we had a chance for a big storm later next weekend but that it will not happen. Seems like it's been that way this winter with missed opportunities for a big snowstorm. Should be a normal week temps wise with some light snow a couple of days. Anyway, it's my busiest week of the month at work so the days will be a blur. Enjoy your Monday!

Have a great day, Edge!! Yes it def sounds like the storm is going to miss us! Oh well...

Good Morning, MMC!!! It's a cold day out there but the sun is shining at least. I just got back from getting the oil changed on my car. That sales rep sure is a talker. Him and my neighbor would get along perfect. I ught a big hag of chicken leg quarters on clearance yesterday. So I'm going to cook them up now and then pull all the meat off to use in different dishes this week. I'll probably run back to the grocery store later today too for a few more things. I hope everyone has a great day!!!

Good afternoon ... Well mother nature has been teasing us with Flurries since last night. We hardly had any decent snow yet this winter and for a snow lover like me it's depressing.

On the bright side, Raven is all done her meds and has healed up nicely. She and the cat have been busy making up for lost play time LOL.

Hope everyone has a great day

I don't know about ya'll but we've been planning and working on Christmas 2017 since our 2016 has been taken down and put away. Been busy changing items over to LED lights from incandescent, also bought many new items, still in the boxes, waiting for more lights to arrive any day now LOL

Good Saturday morning, Christmas friends!

Can you tell I'm up early? LOL Nancy must've had a bad dream. She woke me up at 4am, wanting me to put my arm around her. Next thing I know, she's snoring and my arm is going to sleep. I finally got up at 5am.

And then I realize I'm out of K-Cups!! I'll have to wait for my FIL to open his store at 7am before I can get some coffee!

The auction last night was a bust. It was a fishing-themed night, and they had a million fishing poles, tackle boxes, etc, but I have enough of that stuff. Maybe next week.

I hope y'all have a great weekend!

Sorry to hear the auction was a bust for you!! Good luck this week if you get to go!! Hope you got plenty of coffee over the weekend.

Hello I'm new here to the forum and am really happy to have found the site. I began noticing about nine years ago after Christmas had passed just how much I missed it. I live in the northeast where January and February are cold and kinda flat following the Christmas season. Nine years ago I began my own little countdowns looking ahead to the next holiday season. I started out with telling myself 36 ten day stretches would get me back to five days from Christmas and somehow that sounded like not such a long wait. I Also told myself there are only 26 two week stretches in a year and that also didn't seem to bad seeing how two weeks goes so fast. Since then I have focused on 1/4, 1/3,halftime, 2/3 and 3/4 marks. My big goal every year seems to be to reach August 1, which brings a new football season, and puts so many great holidays within reach such as Halloween, Thanksgiving and of course Christmas! Kinda nice I can say it's halfway to August 1 in just a couple days now. Anyway to make a long story short I was happy to find this group that seems to enjoy counting it down in the same way I do! I really find the grind through the year is kind of as fun as the season itself. Once Christmas season arrives it is epic, but goes by in a flash putting us right back in January, and so it is important to enjoy all times of the year. I look forward to counting down 2017 with you! Take care to everyone.

Welcome to the countdown!!!

Whew!! Who knew car shopping could be so tiring. I ended up getting a 2014 Kia Forte. It was a couple thousand less than the fords and Chevys I was looking at and about half the miles.

Congrats on the new vehicle!!!

Good Sunday morning, Christmas friends!

My Boston butt came out of the smoker just right yesterday, but I think I over-cooked the chicken. I need some more practice. Yes!

We're scrambling to get ready for church on time.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Have fun playing with your new toy!! Yumm-y! I've not tried a Boston Butt yet! Been wanting to try Jalapeno Pulled Pork though.

Morning MMC! I have a lot of things to do today around the home. I have some homework to finish, taxes to do, laundry and take my tree down. Oh yeah I am taking it down finally but as I do it I'll think about how amazing it's going to be to put it back up in about 300 days from now. Other than that I am going to relax this evening and I'm excited about the Superbowl next Sunday. That's sort of my own first mile stone I have after New Years.
Have a great Sunday!

I'm thinking of taking mine down tonight.
