Christmas Countdown - 2017

[CGYager]

Happy Good Friday MMC! I'm off today and enjoying a 3 day weekend. Going to take Rollins to the vet this morning for a checkup and a few shots he's due. Then going to go to IHOP for lunch. A few errands after that and then back home to relax. Beautiful day here with temps supposed to reach the low 60s with sunshine. Have a great "Good" Friday!

Greetings Edge. Another 3-dayer huh? Well, enjoy and hopefully spend a moment or two relaxing. I have one next weekend (Saturday, Sunday & Monday), but the first day of it is to help out the Great Plains Zoo with there "Party for the Planet". Have a good three days and a memorable Good Friday...

Good morning ~
It's going to be a nice day, sunny with a high of 60 degrees. Typical day for me, I have a couple of errands to run and then I'll be working on some chores around the house. I need stop by my butcher at some point as well to pick up our ham for Easter. That's about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Hi there HMG. I seem to have a lot of typical days...
Work, come home, get a few things done, hit the sack and repeat. Been busy delivering posters for the Zoo's first event of the year (usually done between 8AM & 12PM) and now I can get back to some time here with my MMC friends. Have a fun day and a fantastic Good Friday...

Good Morning.

We are now under 2 weeks away from BOTH of our next two Milestone markers!
Stay tuned for the exciting details.

But first, consider this:
Days to the Season: 213
Days to Christmas Day: 255

That first number tells us we are indeed under the two week mark to the 200-day Season Window!
And the ONE-THIRD marker to Christmas Day? Why, it's even closer, at 12 days!
In fact, we are getting shockingly close to SINGLE DIGITS to TWO Milestones.
(The excitment builds, Folks!)


We continue with our warm, dry weather.
Lots of sunshine is present, with a somewhat reduced pollen fall. Pretty good for mid April.
Even our azaleas are still in bloom!
More of the same today, I am pleased to report, and we have started it at 57 degrees here in our part of North Carolina.


Have a Fabulous Friday, Friends.
And I hope your Weekend kicks off beautifully this afternoon!

Good Morning Crown. Sounds like a nice day and weekend, Here is the upper mid-west, the trees are beginning to blossom and the next few days (except for Easter Sunday) are suppose to bring some rain. But that's okay, it will make the grass planting that much easier. Have a good weekend, starting with a very fine Good Friday...

Good Morning! Today this the start of a 4 day weekend for me. Going to try to get as much yard work done today as possible. Also need to stop at the grocery store sometime today too. Have a great day!

Morning Minta. Four days? That tops Edge by one... lol. Have a great time and try to squeeze in a moment or two for some relaxation. Have a wonderful weekend and a memorable Good Friday...

Good Morning MMC !

The first day of Easter weekend, going to just relax today.
Family over on Sunday for a fondu party.

Hope you all enjoy your weekend !

Morning Christmasstar. I don't think I have ever had a fondue party, in fact, I don't think I have ever had it at all...
Glad to hear you are going to relax today and have a wonderful time with the family on Easter Sunday. Have a great Good Friday...

Good morning my MMC friends and a triumphant Good Friday to each and every one. Be away for a few days, but I was helping out with the Zoo, getting it ready for the first event of 2017... "Party For The Planet". For my part I have spent the last few days delivering posters in Sioux Falls and the close surrounding towns. Of course, working nights, the only time I really have is after work and when things open here (8:30AM - 12:00PM). Then it is time to get back home and log a few Zzzzz hours before the next shift. I will admit to being a bit tired and I am getting ready to head out for the last few to deliver, but it is a nice place and with so few family places to go these days, it is exciting to help the ones available.
Not much for my plans on this Good Friday, but I will be more than ready for Resurrection (Easter) Sunday. Have a fun filled day...

Greetings DoYouHear. So cool to see you pushing towards new goals in life. I spend a lot of time looking where I need to improve (though I usually do not have to look very far). You can do it and undoubtedly will. Have a wonderful Good Friday...

Hi MMCers! Crown really had some exciting news for us with the double under two weeks to milestones update! I'm working on getting some things done so I can relax this weekend. Good Friday Service tonight (singing in the choir) and then probably relaxing with my husband before a good long run tomorrow morning! Have a lovely day folks! I really hope you have a good one!

THE OPERA Part XIXIXVVI

Act 1: The curtain opens to the traditional empty stage. 20 minutes later the curtain closes:

end Act 1

Act II: Jayish enters and dances a Paus Du Lux entitled “ I am not a marshmallow kinda guy” The entire company enters and sings the beautiful aria” Peeps”. Coach enters and announces via an aria that as ambassador they are hereby proclaiming the “ Year of the Peep” and everyone will joyfully celebrate by going to their local CVS and ingesting handfuls of yellow peeps. Made and Prancer sing the beautiful aria “ Peeps: They’re Not just for breakfast”. Binger sings the aria “ Peeps and Coffee” what a winning combo! Brad enters and with CG Yaeger sings the aria “ Everyone should be fluorescent” . There is great rejoicing when on the mountaintop Crown appears and announces via an aria that The Peep Show is being cancelled due to the loud noise being made when they are chewed and thus it keeps them awake. The entire company sings a mournful aria entitled..” Ain’t no peeps when she’s gone..” as the Curtain closes

End Act II

Act III:

Edge and Do You hear what I hear enter and sing the aria “ My country peeps of thee”. Jayish enters and dances the scandalous Paus Du Lux entitled “ Peep at me”- the entire company enter and vow to carry on the peep show and celebration and sing the aria “ Peep it Up baby”- Crown again appears and using their wizardly powers seizes Jayish, McGunny, Christmas Star and Homemakin Girl and imprison them in the plastic cylinder. The entire remaining company sings the aria “ What’s Peeps Got To do with it” and vow to boycott CVS until the imprisoned comrades are released. The Act closes with a close up of Crown sleeping on a giant peep.

End Act III

Act IV: Finale

The villagers arrive and lead by Binger sing the aria from the 1973 Coven hit “ One Tin Solider” only substituting the lyrics “ Go ahead and cheat a friend” for “ Go ahead and deny a Peep” . Carl the Camel appears on stage and the villagers rush to empty his hump of a brewed peep blend. Then, using his two humps as a solidified slingshot, they pepper Crown ( still asleep on a giant peep) with a barrage of chocolate m and ms which awakens them. Crown awakens realizing the error of their ways due to a loud candy causing even LESS SLEEP, and in one of the most moving moments ever in operatic history, announces the Peep show starring Jayish was back on and the Peep celebration was again to be restored. The company rush the plastic cylinder and release the hostages. There is great joy as the entire company come together to sing the aria “ It’s a marshmallow world” as the curtain closes and peeps are dropped from the ceiling… End….

Good morning ~
I have to pick up a couple of more things at the supermarket for tomorrow. I'll be heading out early to beat the crowd. Other than that I will be working on daily chores. I'll start to prep and cook later this evening. Looking forward to hosting and spending time with the family tomorrow!
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day ~
Thoughts and prayers for all <3

Morning MMC! Happy Easter Eve! A beautiful April day here with sunshine and temps in the low 60s. Going to take Rollins to the park again (his new favorite place). I also have some errands to do today but also have some time to be low-key. Definitely appreciate having a 3 day weekend for Easter. Hope everyone is excited for the big day tomorrow! Have a great day!

 

[SnowflakeMom]

Good morning all! I am just enjoying a cup of coffee and I need to run to the grocery store in a little while to get a few things. Then the rest of the day should be low key and we are just going to relax. Hope you all have a great day!
