Christmas Countdown - 2018

[Holiday]

Good Wednesday morning! We’re in the middle of a cold snap that should break Friday. I even turned on the heat in the bedroom yesterday it was so cold. We usually only heat two rooms in the Winter and keep the bedroom cool for a good night’s sleep.

And I haven’t had one of those so far this week, with being called in the middle of the night again, for the second night in-a-row, after another alarm went off at the store, and the two previous nights waking up at 3am. Hoping for uninterrupted sleep tonight.

Have a great day everyone!

Oh no! Hope you get some sleep tonight!!!

Good Wednesday morning, Christmas friends!

When I got home yesterday, I put on my sweatpants and a long-sleeve shirt and went for a walk. After my heart attack a few years ago, I exercised daily, but I slowly got out of the habit. It's like I don't even remember how bad it hurt LOL! Anyway, it was great! I played one of the Merry Little Podcasts, and just walked around town. I hope I can get back into the habit.

Tonight, I'm cooking fish again for Nancy's parents. I guess they liked my blackened tilapia last week.

I hope y'all have a great day!

I need to get back into the walking routine too!!!! It's so easy to get out of that habit! But it makes ya feel so much better!

I just found out yesterday at the new job, for Christmas (on the 21st) they close at noon & have a fish fry! I am not a fish or seafood person in any way, shape, or form at all. LOL! I'll guess I'll have some coleslaw & fries if I'm there.

Have a great day Brad!

Merry Pines Day!!
Another chilly day today but looks like it is going to warm up by the end of the week. My daughters missed the bus this morning so I had to drive them to the school...the drop off line at our middle school is crazy!
Typical work day for me and tonight I need to catch up on folding laundry. Tonight we are having slow cooked baby back ribs for dinner.
Hope you all have a great day!

I'll be over for supper!

Good Morning, Relentless Voyagers!

And if you've stuck with us this long, you can most certainly call yourselves relentless because Christmas Day is really just a bit around the corner now.

How far around, you ask?
Well:
Days to Christmas Day: 13
And you will quickly note that the date in question is now LESS than two weeks away!
Yep.
'Tis true, 'tis true!

It was still pretty chilly yesterday so there remains lots of snow around but the roads are clear and driving is no longer an issue at all.
Today will see us climb a bit higher, with a predicted high of 50 degrees.
That should take care of most of the rest of our white blanket.
Currently, we are starting off this center day of the week at 35 degrees.

Well, this evening is the next-to-the-last 'Pines Day open house before Christmas (can you believe that!) and guess what? It has snowed at our inn of choice too, and it looks beautiful!
No doubt, Carl will have some frozen precipitation-related activites planned. I wonder what that might entail?
Come and see this evening!

Meanwhile, you try your best to have a Wonderful Wednesday, Folks. OK?

Crazy that it is only 13 days until Christmas. I guess it's been "one of them years!"

Happy Wednesday/'Pines Day!

Excited about going out to see "White Christmas" tonight. Should be a great night out for two vintage film geeks!

Oh, how exciting!! Enjoy!!!

Our little local theater is showing the new "Grinch" right now. I would love to go see it, but I doubt it happens.

 

[Holiday]

Good morning! I'm finally caught up, as I had a super busy weekend, with a lot going on. I'll share about that later when I have time - today is going to be another busy day. I'll stop back in here soon!

Have a good day!

Wonderful movie! I watch it nearly every year.

Good Morning, MMC!! It’s going to be a beautiful day here with a high near 50 and lots of sun. I got most of my shopping done yesterday but still have a few things to pick up. I’m out of ideas though. Teenagers are such a pain to buy for. Today I’m going to do some baking. I also want to get my Christmas menu planned out. I hope everyone has a great day!!!

Let us know what's on the menu!
Have a great, Christmassy day made!!!

 

[Holiday]

Good morning Christmas friends! I can't believe that Christmas is almost here again. I finally finished my shopping yesterday and now I need to start wrapping. I hope that all of you are having a bright holiday season!

Have fun wrapping!

A fish fry sounds like fun! You sound like my dad. He never ate seafood at all. I don't care for pond or river fish (although I love to bass fish!), but I do like almost all saltwater fish. And I love shrimp, oysters, scallops, etc.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy your office party! Ours in on the 20th. We're renting a place in town to host the whole plant, and have a "Casino Night" (with Monopoly money, of course ), but you trade your winnings for prizes. Might be fun!

Have a great day MMC!

Ugh I know teens are so hard to buy for!! My daughters want $$ to go shopping with their friends for the after Christmas sales.

Good morning MMC!

Not much up for today besides working both places. I think I'll probably be starting to spend more time at the new place than here at the old before long! I'm thankful to have the new place take me in - people are great - lots of perks....it's just too quiet!!! They have music on, but from my desk I can barely hear it. Maybe I'll have to look into pulling Pandora up on my computer if they allow it. But things are starting to get wrapped up here at the old job, so it won't be long. Kinda sad.

One of these nights I'm going to get some Christmas up at home. I was hoping for last night, but it didn't happen. Too much stuff going on!! This is so not like me to be so grinchy looking in our house!!! (although the tree's are up & I enjoy them a lot!)

Everyone, have a Merry Pines Day!

Have a great day, Holiday!!

I'll be over for supper!

Sounds good and we can have a glass of wine with dinner!!

Thanks Crown. Its hard to believe that 2018 is almost all gone entirely. But here we are watching the days dwindle away and awaiting for the "jolly man" to arrive.

Sounds like fun...Higher value gifts and time with her friends. An outstanding Christmas break activity.

Thank you, sugar! I am and I did.
