Christmas Countdown - 2017

Our Christmas Day forecast is now "Colder with snow of varying rates" ... sounds festive, except I'm worried about driving home in it.

Good Thursday morning, Christmas friends!

We had Bernie's Store Christmas party last night. That Bernie knows he can cook a mean steak! Mmm, mmm! Tonight is Nancy's office party, but spouses are not invited. I guess the kids and I can catch up on some Christmas movies we still haven't seen.

I hope y'all have a great day!

It looks like we will probably have a "Dead Grass" Christmas again.

Yeah sounds like your area has a great chance to see a white Christmas but it's tough if you have to be out in it on the roads.

Morning MMC! It's my last work day until Christmas. That's always a special feeling. It's hard to believe how close we are to Christmas now. I'm actually looking forward to my work day because as busy as it will be it will be restful compared to the next 3 days. Usually by the time we sit down for Christmas Eve dinner we're almost too tired to even eat. Haha...anyway hope you all are enjoying these last days before the Dynamic Duo!

I hope your last day of work before Christmas goes well!! xx Hope you're having a fun time with your brother in town!!

Good morning, friends! Today is the last day at work, although this week has been pretty laid back. When I get out of here, I have to run and get some gift bags and a couple of boxes.

My brother comes in tonight, my dad comes home tomorrow night...for me, Christmas starts when my brother shows up. We are all back together and that is what I enjoy most about Christmas.

I gotta get off here and get to work....see yall later!

Good morning and Happy Thursday!
It’s going to be sunny and colder today, highs near 37 degrees. I’m just having my coffee and eating a couple of sugar cookies I straightened up the house and started laundry so far. I’m going to get started on breakfast soon. I got a lot done yesterday, I finished most of my wrapping. I need to run to Kohls at some point today to pick up a couple of things. Every time I think I’m done shopping I think of something else I have to get! Other than that I will be working on some chores around the house. I guess that’s about it. I hope everyone is well and has a nice day!

I have thought I was done so many times...and then I think I've ordered from Amazon almost every day this week. Time is running out to receive amazon before Christmas. EEK!!!
Have a wonderful day HMG!

I can't express how fortunate we are that his groomer left her management position with PetSmart because they were changing things and she wouldn't be allowed to groom anymore just oversee the people who do and she loves being close to the animals. She opened her own business and it's turning out well for her. The previous grooming place we went to wanted to have him sedated by the Vet before they groomed him because he became aggressive (never bit, just threatening posture and growls) a few times and they were afraid of him. O'Malley's Vet said she would never do that just to have the cat groomed and if it was that bad, she'd do it in her office under her supervision.

The first time we discovered Christine, I described some of his behaviours and his being half-feral and she got down on the floor by the cage chatted with him for a bit and asked me to leave.

I wandered about the store for a bit and then spied on the my boy from a safe distance so he wouldn't see me. At one point Christine had to answer a call so she unhooked his harness and had him resting on her hip balancing him along her arm and he wasn't even trying to bite her or protest. Turns out as she was growing up her family had taken in many cats and dogs to pamper and prepare for re-homing. We've been going to her ever since and thankful that she has patience with him and so much passion for her work. I always tip her upon what she charges.

Keep a furry thought in your head,

That's a great story AMD!! Thanks for sharing! ♥ ♥ She's also lucky to have O'cat as a friend!

** CHRISTMAS SEASON DAY 39 **


Good Morning, Friends!

Drawing near.
Drawing ever so near.

The count proves it:
Days to Christmas Day: 4 (Barely over HALF A WEEK LEFT!)
Mercy. I can almost hear those reindeer pawing at the snow!


Rainy and cool yesterday.
Should dry up today and we are predicted to be in for a rather nice stretch right on up through Christmas Eve, before it turns cold for the Big Day itself.
The weather service says no chance for a white Christmas for us here in central North Carolina, however.
We stand just under 42 degrees at this hour here in the capital city.


Have a Thrilling Thursday, Everyone.
And get ready for your LAST Weekend Eve before Christmas!

Fingers crossed you miraculously have some snow for Christmas! xx

Happy Thursday!! Just work for me today and I have a couple of errands. I have 2 more gifts to wrap and I just need to pick up some Dunkin Donut gift cards for my youngest daughter's teachers and I am going to get them some truffles too. My husband is working late tonight so I think it may be Chinese tonight for dinner. Hope you all have a great day!

Sounds like you have things under control!! Have a great day SFM!

 

[Holiday]

Happy Thursday!
Time to bake the cookie dough I made yesterday!

F-U-N!! Jealous!

 

[Holiday]

Still hoping we have a chance Christmas Eve night into Christmas morning of rain showers changing to snow showers (they are still saying it's possible).

We now have AM rain/snow predicted for Saturday, on Christmas Eve they say snow showers developing later in the day, with snow flurries Christmas eve night. Flurries or snow showers possible on Christmas Day.
Fingers crossed we both get some snow!!

 

[Holiday]

Love this! I would love to see this Christmas Eve!

 

[Holiday]

Would be really cool to see some...even if it's not a lot would just really set the scene to have snow flakes falling out of the sky.

Good Morning everyone! Where has the time gone? I feel like I am so behind this year for some reason. I still am waiting for gifts to be delivered, we still have baking to do, and we still have not decided on a menu for Christmas Day. I saw several people say they are starting on a list for the next few days and that is what I am going to have to do! Still, I am getting so excited that Christmas is almost here. I just wish the next few days could go in slow motion so I had more time to enjoy them!!
