Christmas Countdown - 2017

[Holiday]

Bitter cold here as well. Stay warm Holiday. I too am looking forward to the time change, I just wish we stayed on Daylight Saving Time year-round.

I agree! Though I understand they like daylight for those little ones getting on the school bus.
Have a wonderful day Martine!!!

TGIF, Christmas friends!

Nancy has been working away, since she's and accountant and it's tax season. March 15 is some kind of corporate deadline, so she's been putting in extra hours this week. Elizabeth offered to cook dinner last night, and made an AWESOME chicken parmesan! I'm still full, but I'd eat some more right now!

I can't go to the auction tonight; I have to take Elizabeth to dance class. There's a pageant tonight, and Nancy and her sister have been hired to audit the scores (they do it every year). No great loss to me, though. I've never found a deal like those my brother finds when he goes by himself.

Lunch with mom & little brother today.

I hope y'all have a great day!

I hope tax season is going well for Nancy! I'm sure she has the countdown going to the end of tax season!

Enjoy lunch with Jim & mama!!

Have a great day!

Happy Friday All!!

Happy Friday to you!

In the 70's & sunny yesterday, 1-3 inches of snow tomorrow & Sunday! Our blizzard was March 13, 1993, so we are not surprised that we're getting snow in mid-March. The latest I've ever seen snow is the first week of April. We had snow the week before Easter that year in the late '80s. Two weeks until spring break & school only has two "snow days" left for the year.

I hope they don't have to use more than 2 days! xx
I remember significant snow - like enough that everyone stayed home from work - on our anniversary one year. Can't remember the year, but it was March 15th.
Have a great day!!

I had pizza the other day (but I never get tired of it)!

Buffalo chicken pizza?? Chicken ranch pizza? BBQ Chicken pizza?

 

[Holiday]

Thank you so much Holiday!
Sending hugs to you and Miss Gracie <3

Thank you for the hugs!!! Sending hugs back to you & Miss Maggie. I'm glad to hear she seems to be improving a little. The little booger up all night & sleeping during the day. Ahhh, a dogs life! Hope every day gets better for her!

Happy Friday, MMC!!!! Its so nice to wake up with electricity this morning. We had the transformer behind our apartment blow up yesterday afternoon and it took until after midnight to get it switched out. Nothing to much going on here, just the same old same old. I hope everyone has a great Weekend!!!

Oh yikes!! No cooking for made yesterday!? Glad your electric is back!! How are things in Indiana?? Hope mama, nieces, Ella - all your fam is doing well!!
Have a great weekend made!

Lol!! I'm quite happy with the 8 inches we got this year.

LOL - I'm not sure if we even got that much!

Buffalo #1!

Buffalo #1!

YUM!
We had a tavern close by that made THE BEST taco pizza - ever!!! He sold his business & gave his secret recipe to the people who bought it. They ran the place into the ground & now the recipe is gone. Well, the original owner still has it, but he's not in the business at all anymore. I still crave one of them, but NOBODY makes them like he did. Haven't had a really good taco pizza since!

Nope. We took off for most of the evening and ate out.

Mom is good. She has me driving her all over now that we have the new car. Was just over in Richmond at the Amish grocery store earlier this week.

The nieces are crazy. They start spring break next week and are trying to get me to take them to Pennsylvania for ice cream. They really liked the one place we went to last year and keep talking about it.

Ella is wild. She likes to go to the door now and bark likes she has to go out, then when you try to hook up her leash, she takes off and wants you to chase her.

Ha ha!!! I love it!!! That's awesome!!
Gotta love the Amish grocery store. Emma is picking some things up for me this weekend at their store!
Pennsylvania isn't too far to drive for ice cream, is it?? Might as well bring a trailer full home! Make it worth the trip!!!
Ella sounds like Gracie...scratches & scratches at the door, but when you open the door, she really just wants to stay in & play!! Goof dogs!!!

Have a good trip to PA!!!

Rollins does the same thing. Every time I have to take him out it's like a whole project to put the leash on. Always running around and trying to take it from me.

Good evening,

Getting ready for a little bit of snow tonight, I will be sure to enjoy it since it may be one of the last snows of the season.
I picked out my corned beef for St. Paddy's day today, I love corned beef and I usually get it once a year.
I hope you all are doing well.
Goodnight, everyone

Loved corned beef too!! Have a great Friday, xmas!

TGIF! Hope everyone is ready for the weekend cause I am. It's snowing here this morning. We expect up to 3 inches of snow. But it's been so warm the last couple of days I doubt it will stick too much on the roads. It's going to be another bitter cold weekend like last weekend. I guess winter is getting us back for being so nice the 2nd half of February. Maybe a bigger storm next week but we'll see they keep changing what they say. Just gonna try to have a quick Friday and get to my weekend. Might order Chinese food tonight. Have a great day!!!

We have about 4 inches or so but I heard the roads are not too bad. Have a great Friday and weekend!

Good Friday morning! A much-needed day off today. On Wednesday, I was up at 4:30am (couldn't sleep anymore) and to celebrate International women's day at work, I prepared a photo montage of all the women at work, then prepared some food for the pot luck organized by the social committee, went in early to help said committee set up the tables and then worked the afternoon/evening shift as planned. I tried to finish early yesterday to compensate but wound up working a normal full day where I didn't even stop to eat lunch. I'll get an extra day off next week which will give me a long weekend, really looking forward to it. Today will be a day for laundry and chores and doing our taxes. Have a great day everyone!

Enjoy your day off!

Good Morning, Seasonites.

And with each and every day, we move yet another step closer to our eagerly-awaited and much-coveted Christmas Season.

Thus, we present yet another day's figures:
Days to the Season: 248
Days to Christmas Day: 290

And now, Milestone marker number four is dead ahead in the cross hairs. Just FIVE days off, in fact! Then, we will enter the second third of our Season count.
(Just let that sink in, now. The SECOND third. That means only one more left after that!!)


Now get this. Yesterday's weather was outstanding, with highs in the 70's and abundant sunshine. Today should see us into the upper 60's.
Sunday? Snow.
That's right, I said SNOW. 1.5" worth in fact. That's what our local weather service is solemnly predicting.
Of course, they point out that not much will accumulate owing to the warm soil, but still........from the 70's to snow that fast.
Wow!
Currently, we are showing 56 degrees here on our thermometer under overcast and rain-threatening skies.


But regardless of how volatile your weather may be, you do your level best to have a Fabulous Friday, Friends. OK?

Thanks, Crown!!

Good morning MMC! Happy, HAPPY Friday!!! This morning we have nothing but full sunshine & Brrrrrr!!! We are currently 25º colder than yesterday - only supposed to warm up by 2º today! But the sunshine sure is nice to see. We didn't get the snow that was predicted, or if we did, it was after dark & it's already melted due to the warm ground. Our grass is so green, it's crazy! Supposed to be bitter cold over the weekend though (15º) & we won't get out of the 30's until next week Friday so we'll see what happens to all our tulips, daffs, etc. Poor babies, going to be freezing!

So looking forward to the time change this weekend!!

I hope everyone's day is off to a great start!!! Merry Friday!!

(not many days of winter left, I needed to post that today. )

Have a great Friday Holiday and weekend!! We are supposed to get bitter cold too this weekend..ugh!

I agree - UGH! When I look outside & see that sunshine & green grass it looks like such a gorgeous, warm day! And then you walk outside....BRRRRRR! At least if we had some snow on the ground, it would match the frigid temps!!! LOL!

 

[ballcoach]

Well, shucks. We played for the state championship last night, but it didn't go as we hoped. That's ok. It was a fun season! It was a late night....got in from the game around 2:00 a.m. No work for me today...Boss told me to sit this one out. Needless to say, I didn't argue. It is nice and quiet here in my house...so I think I am about to watch some Christmas movies that aren't cartoons.

Hope things are going great for everyone.

 

[ballcoach]

Oh, forgot to mention that we had 70 degree weather yesterday, storms last night, and we are supposed to get a few inches of snow tomorrow.

 

[Holiday]

Everyone, have a wonderful weekend!!!! Stay warm!!! (you too @Bradmac )
