Christmas Countdown - 2018

[xmastidings]

Are you getting one of those that's connected to the internet, and sends you emails and plays music?

Can you imagine in 20 years from now, what bells and whistles will come with them...Like something from Star Trek... A Food replicator!

Good morning MMC! Merry Tuesday!!! Since I was off yesterday, it sure feels like Monday today!!!

Not much going on here. Just work! Going to be a beautiful day!! It was so nice to be off on such a gorgeous day yesterday. We got the garden planted - 3 loads of laundry on the line, got moms groceries. It was a pretty relaxing yet productive day! Tonight I need to finish planting the onion but everything else is in that we are able to plant now.
We are hopefully having steaks on the grill & corn on the cob tonight if my hubby will be home in time. It's that time of year he's going to the farm almost every night!
Everyone, have a Terrific Tuesday!

Enjoy your three-day weekend coming up Holiday! And that picture is just too cute for words.

How can a 3 day weekend go so fast??

Thank you Holiday. Well the sun lasted about an hour but it was nice. So no hanging clothes outside for me yet, unfortunately. Loki was a happy dog going on this long walk. We crossed path with a lot of dogs and as usual he was over-excited but he calmed down enough to approach a Corgi. I love Corgis, they seem like such happy-go-lucky dogs, I was so happy to get to pet it. That made my day.

I had 3 loads on the line yesterday. I love it!! How fun that you were able to meet a Corgi. They are cute!
Have a good Tuesday Martine!

"Interesting" is a unique way to say "More of the same."
Got pain reliever?

Happy Saturday MMC!
Not too much going on here today. I’m bringing Rocky to obedience school this morning. Back home afterward to work on some chores around the house. We have plans to go out for dinner later this evening. That’s about it. I hope everyone is well and has a great day!

How was obedience school this time?

Hi everyone! It has been some time since I dropped in here but I think I will be able to drop in on a more consistent basis! I have been reading through the posts and just catching up on what everyone has been up to! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

It’s been forever since I dropped by because I’ve been so busy. I think of y’all all the time! I am watching Hallmark tonight and they’re now saying they’re “counting down the days” until Countdown to Christmas 2018! Sounds like they follow @Crown 84 and know we’ve got a 1 sighting! hoping to check in again soon!!

Nice to see you both!! Don't be strangers!

Good morning and happy Sunday.

Here in Ohio it is the last Sunday in April and a whopping 34 degrees outside. It is suppose to get up to the low 60s, but still below our normal. This has been one of the coolest, if not the coolest, Aprils on record for the area.

Last night was my oldest's senior prom. He has three weeks of school left. CRAZY!

Today is a "work" day for me. I need to write a 10-12 page paper for my current class. That will be the bulk of my day. But it is the last assignment for the class. I get the next week off from my classes. (I still have to go and teach school though) Then I start my thesis on May 7th! I am excited to get that started and over with. lol

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Hope he had a good time at prom!

Good Morning, Milestone Anticipators.

<< Crown! We just had TWO Milestones! >>
I realize that, but as you know, our markers are either here or on the way all year round.
<< Well....that's true. What's the next one and how far away is it? >>
Let you know in just a moment. (And you had better steel yourself.)

First, let's look at the daily digits:
Days to the Season: 198
Days to Christmas Day: 240

OK. No rest for the weary.
Because our next Milestone is on May 15. That's just 16 days away. Two weeks from the day after tomorrow.
And.....
(Hold on to your sleigh reigns for this, now, real tight!)
It's the HALF WAY POINT TO CHRISTMAS SEASON 2018!
You read that right, Folks. The HALF way point.
Can this be true? Are we really that far along or is this a dream?
(If so, I don't want to wake up!)

Ditto weather for yesterday. But today will be cooler.
Instead of 80, our high will be in the mid-60's. But it should be dry and clear.
We have begun this second half of the weekend at 53 degrees.

Have a Super Sunday, Guys!
Enjoy part II of your weekend.

SO hard to believe we are almost 1/2 way back to the season!!

Morning folks.

Yesterday, we took our kitties to the vets. It is a brand new vet for them, near where we are moving to. It's a heart breaking process; of taking them to the vets. Every time I break out their carriers, Shiloh goes running; (I always wonder, that when she see's that carrier, does she think we are going to take her back to the place from where we adopted her from?).
That's the first part of it, after I get the carrier in, then I got to go find her, get her out gently out from underneath a piece of furniture. Then once I get her in the carrier, she starts to meow (so sadly, almost like she's crying). They did good for the ride getting there and when they were there too. They got a full examination, shots, nails clipped and Shiloh had blood drawn because she's been throwing up her food once in awhile after she eats. We absolutely, just loved the new veterinarian, it's a husband and wife team and the atmosphere of the place reminded us of an old time doctors office kind of feel.

When we got them both back home and walked in the door with them, they both instantly recognized where they were at and immediately, they perked up and you could see their excitement; home! Yes, it's heartbreaking, but a very necessary process.

(((HUGS))) to the kitties!!

I was realizing last night, that this week will be the first of May, and think about it, but not counting this week, we will only be like 10 weeks out from the start of QVC Christmas in July, Hallmark Christmas in July and more. Pretty cool huh!

Craziness!

Yeah, I saw one that takes a picture of the inside of your fridge, then emails it to you so you know what you need LOL!

Quick; yet merry greetings y'all!

Halfway to the start of the season - crazy!

I've been so busy lately. 5 funerals, family drama, work and chores - miss everyone and think of you every day when some festive thought, song or vision crosses my mind.

Stay jolly!

(((HUGS)))

Good Monday late morning! Another rainy day here. My cold knocked me out all afternoon/evening yesterday. I'm working the afternoon/evening shift today so at least I could recuperate a bit this morning. I wish I didn't have to go into work, but I have new hires to train tonight. It's going to be a strange day because my manager announced on the weekend that my colleague and I are being transferred to a new store. Not my choice but I have no voice in the matter. I just wish I had been there when it was announced to the employees. I'm very sensitive, I foresee lots of tears throughout this month before we start at the new store in June. Anyway, time to get ready. Have a great day everyone!

Hope you are feeling better. Sorry to hear you are being moved to a different store. I hope you like it there!

 

[Holiday]

Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing well! I miss you all and am hoping to have more time to check in with you good people.

Nice to see you FKB!

Morning everyone, wow it's been so long since I've posted! (over a month) Don't know where the times gone. Speaking of time, is it really the first of May already? oh my. Not much to tell you all, I turned 20 last week and I've just finished my second year at University so now time to chill out before I try and get a job for the summer. Hope you are all well, happy May!

Welcome back. Happy Belated Birthday! Good luck finding a job this summer! xx Have a good day!
