Christmas Countdown - 2018

[Yuletide Junkie]

VERY hard rain today ... leftovers from Florence.

Saw your weather radar on the way through our work break area. I swear I saw rain dripping out the bottom of screen...

Good morning MMC!! Merry Tuesday!!

This is my last day of "normalcy" ~ I haven't said anything on here yet, but I'm starting a new job tomorrow! My boss will be 65 in October & he is selling a good portion of our equipment to one of our customers ~ they are taking all of our customers with it & I go along with the deal too. LOL!!! I'm nervous about it - a little excited too. It's a good company. Will add about 4 minutes to my already 4 minute drive to work. LOL!! I just have it made here, being so close to mom if she needs help. Having a tv in the office, an hour lunch, I can wear shorts in the summer....I'll see what this new job all entails! There are 2 other girls in the office over there & 3-4 guys. I know most of them & they are very nice! I will only be going over there 1 day a week until the end of the year when my current business closes & then I'll be there full time. Well - he told me I could pick my hours...if I wanted to work 20 - 30 or 40. So I'll feel it out when I get there! Gah!! I'll be going from 3 employees to 50+! Will be a change for sure!

Cement trucks are supposed to be at our house at 11 this morning so we should have a new driveway & sidewalk tonight. It looks like a huge driveway, compared to what we had! Who wants that bill??? HA!!

Everyone, have a great day!!!

I hope the new job is GREAT!

I've been away for a few weeks. We are having our house remodeled and have been staying with friends. We will certainly be glad when it is finished. Not sure we would do it again.
I'm now 3 months into retirement and so far I would highly recommend it.

Good to see you! I hope the remodel goes along smoothly. A coworker is remodeling, too, and he's not a happy camper.

Love that expression ... so funny! I can see that in my mind's eye!
It looks like we came out okay, except for some spotty flooding. The North Shore may have had a tornado this morning (they're investigating now), and the South Shore and Cape are getting pounded this afternoon with the kind of rain we had this morning, plus thunder and wind. Our clouds are lightening up a bit ... I wonder if we'll see a peek of blue before sunset.

Good Tuesday afternoon, Christmas friends!

I'm getting here later than usual today. Meetings, meetings, and more meetings. Then the boss invited me to lunch...can't turn that down!

Monday I was bragging about my brother and me clearing some areas near out hunting spot on Sunday. There were some very close trees, and it took some careful driving to keep from hitting them. It turns out, I "rubbed" my truck against a tree and didn't know it. Grrr. It caused some bends that will be difficult to repair without taking it to a shop. So, I'm stuck with a bent truck, doggone it. It's not too obvious, but I know it's there.

That's what I get for playing in a truck.

I hope y'all have a great day!

I hope the new job is GREAT!

Thanks Brad! Fingers crossed!! (and I hope I'm able to visit here too!! )

Oh yikes! I just looked it up & my brother is currently under a severe thunderstorm warning. Hopefully everyone stays safe!!!

One or two more hours of rain and storms expected there before it moves off, the weathermen are saying. He may lose power, but he should be okay.

I will have to check in on them after work!

 

[Holiday]

I probably won't be around tomorrow, so I hope you all have a great evening & a great day tomorrow! Hope to see you at the Pines tomorrow night!

bread is rising,, cookie squares are baking...only 10 more items to bake for the fair entities tomorrow. LittleCS is coming over to also bake as her kitchen is to small for such a major job.

Going to be a hot one again today, but thankful with all this baking that our AC is still on !

hope you all enjoy your day, if not busy I will have free samples available for tasting, stop in for a cuppa a tea and some goodies.

I’m on my way for those free samples!!!

Good morning MMC ~
Merry Tuesday!
We’re expecting scattered showers and storms today, remnants of Florence. The winds are already picking up. I don’t have too much going on here. I might run to Rite Aid quick before the rain moves in but other than that I will just be working on some chores around the house. Dinner will be tacos and I think I’ll bake something for dessert since I’ll be home this afternoon. I guess that’s about it. I hope everyone is well and has a nice day!!!
xx

Hope you stayed safe today!!!

That’s a bummer about your truck!! I’m glad it’s not to noticeable though!!

Holiday I hope you will enjoy a great first day at your new job and that in the long term, it will provide the flexibility that you need and a positive work environment.

 

[Martine]

You're welcome!
I know, it is a big change. But you will be great!

Hmmm...maybe @prancer?

Har is doing her best, still confused and sad, but we are giving her a ton of love. Hopefully she adapts soon.

Awww please give a hug to Harlowe from Loki and me.

She is doing well. Nervous for her staples to come out but I told her she'd be fine. Fancy Nancy is the best. She is learning all sorta of new words from the books. She has a tv show on Disney jr toys and chapter books now. Her birthday in October will be mainly Fancy Nancy gifts amd Christmas will be all about Barbie,
. . .

Aw, poor Carolina ~ she's quite the brave little girl! Praying the staple-removing will go quick and easy!
