Countdown to Christmas 2007!!!

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

Must have been eerie, Cedar! I ran into a pack of wild street dogs going to work one morning. Thankfully they were more interested in heading to the park than they were in chasing me.

Too bad about your children losing things - were they lost or stolen, Sila? They need deeper pockets to carry things in so they don't slip out.

Crown tell Carl that O'Malley the cat was asking about him the other day. He said, Merawwwwwwh Caaaaaarl. I'm sure of it.

:hello: I found a penny and picked it up. Almost got hit by a car. How lucky is that? Think I'll nonchanlantly drop the penny so someone else can pick it up - not my kind of good luck penny.

Went shopping with my husband after I worked out at the gym.
Ughhhh! We can't shop together. He can't relax and just browse. He's on a mission and that's it. When I used to go shopping for those last few Christmas items, he waits in the restaurant or coffee shop while I eye-shop and then I fetch him to agree to what I'm getting before I buy it. The last couple of years, I just did it on my own because I take too long to decide.
He discovered my trick. When I go with a list and I find something I want that's not on the list, I borrow a pen at the checkout and add the item. Different colours of ink have foiled an otherwise well planned shopping adventure.

Enjoy your Sunday!

I found a penny and picked it up. Almost got hit by a car. How lucky is that? Think I'll nonchanlantly drop the penny so someone else can pick it up - not my kind of good luck penny.

You mean so that they can get hit by the car?
(Badda-boom!)
No, I'm sure that's not what you meant!
Tell O'Malley that Carl appreciates the greeting and reciprocates.

16 days to the Season.
58 days to Christmas Day.

Good Morning!
Rise and shine, be your coffee or mattress addicts.

A very nippy 53 outside this morning. And they say we could be down into the mid 30's by Tuesday morning. Brrrr! (yet more seasonal)

Took some more Christmas photos at the mall yesterday and will be posting them into my Christmas Photos 2007 thread, shortly.

Have a Super Sunday! Enjoy the remainder of your weekend, and rest up for Monday.
(Did I say "rest"? Oh, oh!)

hmmm 12 days till the day four post and 16 days till once again we can all meet in " real time.."- ( Why is Binger so sleepy the first day of the season?... lack of java.. NO... lack of sleep ( oohhh the horrors- right Crown?)....

hey hey hey! yabba!

 

[Binger]

( hmm- is it difficult to "paus du lux in the sand? Is it difficult to yodel Dusty Springfield?)/....

yabba!

Well actually - :? I was a little grumpy after waking up from a baaaaaaad dream so awful I had my teeth clenched and my jaw was aching - I can't be held responsible for post-penny-pickup-nightmares ... can I?

I still have the penny. So rest easy folks, I'm still the same charming Auntie y'all know.

It was about 37 F here this morning, warmed up somewhat sitting at about 46 now. A little nippy. Sun is shining though so all is good.

Speaking of photos, I have another slideshow for those interested. Pics were resized before loading so dial-up users should be able to enjoy them in a timely fashion.

I like this one better than the last one. These pics were taken about an hour and a half drive from where I live. You'll be wishing you were there or feeling like you are.




Just click on the log cabin and enjoy the North Autumn shots up HWY 11 North.

I'm going to have a wee nap, I think, I'm still tired from the spooky wake-up I had in the middle of the night.
Seems to me Crown's passion for sleeping is catching on - yikes!

Hello my good friends! Just a quick check in...The first chilly day of the year! Spent most of the day preparing for the week ahead...Cooking, cleaning, laundry...All the fun stuff...Did get out to my local Best Buy...I Figured out what I want for Christmas...One of everythng...

So I am about to finish my first week on the South Beach Diet and I'm proud to announce that I'm six pounds lighter, and fifty pounds angrier due to all of the foods I can't eat...I'm looking at the bright side though...By Thanksgiving, I ought to be down about 15 pounds total...Pass the celery...

Have a great Sunday evening! See ya tomorrow!

Now, Binger! Don't you dare use "sleep" and "lack" in the same sentence. (Kind of like me using "coffee" and "spill" together!)

15 days to the Season. (Two weeks from tomorrow. WOW!)
57 days to Christmas Day.

Chillier and chillier (and thus more and more seasonal!) around here. Was 44 when I left for the office this morning and is supposed to get down into the 30's tonight.

Have a Marvelous Moday, friends!
(Don't forget the watch "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" tomorrow night. A good show to get you into the seasonal mood.)

 

[ElfSpirit]

Good Day and Happy Monday!
Wow, it's been a long while since I've posted here, but was just thinking about you folks and wanted to say Hello.
The Christmas season will be here before we know it...I am getting so excited!
Next week I travel to the states to visit my family for a spell, and it will be extra special as my sister is going to have her second baby very soon! (I hope she can wait until I get there!)
Well, I wish you all a good start to your week...keep a Christmas tune in your heart!
Hope to stop by again soon!

[Binger]

We all know the great pumpkin arises and causes Crown to lose an hour's sleep.....

 

[Binger]

Hey- where's that Michigan gal?

[slgslg02]

Merry Christmas all

 

[sila]

[Crown 84]

14 days to the Season. (Two weeks from today!)
56 days to Christmas Day.
We are really getting close, aren't we?

A REALLY frosty commute today. There was ice on my windshield for the first time this season.
Too bad today isn't Halloween, since it's so seasonal.
Tomorrow they say we will be back in the 70's.

Have a Terrific Tuesday, Christmas Comrades.

Keep that coffee hot, Bing! (Are you busy with the next opera installment? Do fired twinkies and shispering pines factor in? Does Carl appear early? -- Sorry, he requested I ask --)

 

[Crown 84]

Don't forget "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" tonight at 8:00 Eastern Time.

 

[caseydbell]

Morning all, have a wonderful day as we get closer to the season.

Good Morning Everyone !

It's another beautiful day here . . . . . at about 45 degrees. I got an interesting phone call yesterday. My mother, Grandma Eagle, called and asked when I'm going to put up her Christmas tree ??? I answered, whenever you like. She said, come over Wednesday morning. On Halloween ?? She said, why wait, at 87 yrs old I can be a little eccentric (?). So I guess she'll have the first tree up in the family. Maybe first in her town. Anyone else have their tree up yet ??? All this from someone that used to kid me about putting my decorations up early. She beat me this year.

Have a great day
