Christmas Countdown - 2017

[FrostyKnowsBest]

Morning MMC! I hope you all have a great day! It's a bit humid here in Michigan and cloudy. I noticed on the way to work today that there are two Spirit Halloween stores ready to open up soon. I love all of the bers and the holidays so it's great to see. I must say though, I feel like in recent years Halloween is the holiday that is doing the early creep and not Christmas as it's so traditionally vilified to be.

Good morning MMC! Merry Tuesday! Not much going on here today. Just work & then Gracie has another appointment after work. Hopefully that goes well! xx We're supposed to have storms today!

I forgot to mention last week I took a different way home. I always like to take that way in the fall to see how the homes are decorated. Well I was surprised to see one house with about 6 pumpkins sitting around the front of the house! It won't be long we'll start seeing more & more houses decorated for fall!

Everyone, have a great day!!

Good Tuesday morning, Christmas friends!

It stormed through the eclipse yesterday, but, as others have noted, it was pretty dark in the afternoon, so it was different. I thought the NASA footage of the ISS passing by the sun during the eclipse was pretty awesome, though!

It's a busy day here, so I'll catch up in a minute.

I hope y'all have a great day!

At least it wasnt at Dunkin Donuts!! Maybe Papa Johns will actually work with ya or the bank.

Fortunately they said I'm not liable for the charge...I remember your DD situation!

7 more Christmases away.

LOL

I ordered the glasses back in June, I was afraid they would sell out. We had a partial eclipse of around 70 percent that was visible here on the Island. It was cool but I can't even imagine what it must have been like to see a total eclipse. It looked pretty awesome on tv!

I agree - it was fun to watch on tv!

I have not seen a Spirit store yet, but when I was in Menards, they had their Halloween stuff up already. I'm sure more will be flowing in, but some of it looked fairly cool. Including a projector that has Halloween images shown from the inside against a window...

Morning Holiday. I pray Gracie's appointment will have positive results. I also hope your storms today do not produce as much rain as we got (5+ inches in some areas).
Have a fun day and a last great week of August...

A Spirit Halloween store just opened a couple of stores down from us. And we've been getting Halloween costumes for kids for two weeks now at our own store and they are selling as fast as we're getting them. Now I have to start thinking about a costume for myself, it'll be Halloween before we know it.

A bunch of people came out of our office building to see the 63% cover in our area. We got some off-and-on clouds at the height of it. Not impressive, but certainly interesting. Some of us had paper-plate pinhole projectors; a few had eclipse glasses and passed them around so everyone could get a direct view. It was a bit like a 10-minute block party!

Sounds like a great break from work!

Usually my cat hangs out in the window for at least half the day. Today, he spent the entire day away from the windows. Instead, he laid on his tower and bed. I think he knew something was up, too!

They are smart!

Morning MMC! Today we should see high temps in the upper 80s with partly cloudy skies. There's a chance for a stray shower or thunderstorm later today. The weather from Thursday through Monday looks unreal. I hope it holds but they are predicting basically mid-upper 70s with sunshine and low humidity...September weather in late August. Well someone stole my charge information as I saw a $50 amount for Papa John's on it last night. I called up and they cancelled my card. They are sending me a new one. That never happened to me before. I only use one charge card too. I don't like to have more than 1 cause it's enough work keeping track of it. Hope you all have a great day!

Sorry to hear about your CC! I hope they reversed the charge for you!
We are supposed to have high temps in the 70's starting today (77) all the way through Sept. 5th. (But they've been wrong before! )
Have a great day Edge!

Good morning, Happy Tuesday!
It's going to be cloudy today, chance of a shower with highs near 85 degrees. I'm heading out in a little bit with my middle one, she has a routine doctor appointment. I need to do some food shopping at some point. Other than that I will be working on my daily chores. I'm going to grill chicken and vegetables kabobs for dinner. That's about it for me. Hope everyone is well!
xx

I love kabobs! Have a great day HMG!

Happy Tuesday!! My husband and I went to a restaurant last night with an outside patio. It was nice to sit outside and relax. Just work for me today and my oldest daughter has soccer conditioning tonight. I also need to catch up on some laundry. Hope you all have a great day!

Sounds like you & the hubby had a great night! Nice! Have a great day SFM!

 

[Holiday]

Good morning everyone. I hope you all have a great Tuesday!

Hey there Ryan! Nice to see you! How's Kimmie & all the other fur babies?

 

[Holiday]

My work sent out the invitation for our yearly Christmas party already. Although it's still August it made it feel a tiny bit closer.

Have great day friends!

That's exciting!!

I bet not as many people complain about Halloween creep as they do Christmas! Have a great day FKB!!

Bummer that it stormed during the eclipse!
Hope you are having a great day Brad!

Thank you CGY! So far we haven't had any rain! 5+" is quite a bit!! Hope you were able to stay dry!
Have a great day!!!
HA! All I had to do was mention it & now there are raindrops on the window!
