187? Thursday = Turkey day - most of all, THANKS

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

Thanks hon, that hits the spot. Oh just so you know TA gave me a VHS copy of "A Christmas Story" for my very own, at least until I can get it on DVD.

Hey, do you think Richard would let us borrow Orc to come stack firewood at our house?

[davidpizzica]

LOH, I'll lend you Orc's remote! If it's one thing that Orc does well, it's stacking wood!

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

Yeah, when Mario isn't tormenting him. I'd like some more hot cocoa with that Mint Baileys please and how about a candy cane garnish. mmmmmm

Now let's start gearing up for the Holidays! Yeah!

When doesn't he torment poor Orc?! Uh, Mario? Thanksgiving was yesterday so now you can put away your blunderbuss and don't aim it at anybody! I'm ready for a hot cocoa myself. LOH, I'll get us both one. I'm still in first gear with the holidays!

[RedHedd]

I'm still in neutral for the holidays. It's hard to feel Christmasy when it's sunny and warm outside - I'm running around in flip flops and a tank top! Went to Circuit City to see if I could snag one of their Black Friday special printers - nope - all gone. At least they weren't playing Xmas songs, but Walgreens was - I couldn't get out of there fast enuff!

I nice cold peppermint iced tea would be scrumptious right now. Ah, that's better. Mario! Don't please don't point that thing at me!

[CathyBogart]

LoL, I just wanted to share...last night after the festivities, me, my mom, and a fw of "the girls" went to a "midnight madness" sale at an outlet mall. It was a kick! We got there at 12:30 and shopped until nearly 4am! then we went out for breakfast.

I'm not a big shopper but hanging out with a bunch of family and friends in the middle of the night while we all tried to shop without freezing to death was SO much fun! I do hope we do it again next year.

That's ok david, LH and the Mayor will tell you I love Christmas. I'm usually listening to Christmas music in my car and with my head phones by September the latest and then I start working on Christmas presents for people and watching Christmas movies while I do it if LH is at work and the kids are in bed. I'm between 2nd and 3rd gear right now. I'm already wearing my Santa hat.

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

Good morning all! I guess I'll open the bar this morning, let's see coffee, (and Bailey's) muffins, eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, (I wonder if any of Karen's syrup is still here). Hey Orc! Whata ya say we get this fire going? Mario, give me that remote! I'll trade you this blueberry muffin, I don't think you can pick all of the blueberries out.

[Karen]

Yup, I brought the syrup! I have Christmas music on my iPod, even so can listen anytime, anywhere! Ho Ho Ho!

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

Cool Karen,
Do you think we can start putting up holiday decorations? Or maybe we should save that for next week.

[Karen]

Weeeeellllll, maybe we can start gradual-like, with a few lights and decorations in the windows to welcome everyone in. It gets dark by dinnertime these days, and we wouldn't want anyone not finding the place.

I will, however, be kind, and leave my jingle-bell bracelet locked away for the time being, I think the combination of Mario + Jinglebells + people trying to enjoy a quiet drink might have unpleasant consequences.

Not to mention that the bartender might get violent!

I'm with you on listening to Christmas music in the car early! I've been listening to Mannheim Steamroller in my car since the middle of September. I may have to get another CD, I think I'm wearing this one out!

[cyber-sibes]

ooouuuu, I love Mannaheim Steamroller's Christmas cd's - I used to have one, lost in the moving shuffle, I guess. i had to wear an elf hat at work on Friday - hohoho, with a jingle bell on the tip. Wasn't I cute? Maybe Mario or Orc would like to borrow the hat? What a long day today, a cup of hot chocolate, a chair to lean back in, listening to Christmas music and watching twinkly lights sounds good to me!

[Lady's Human]

BTW, Hon, it's not nice to lie. Santa is watching, after all.

You passed 3rd gear a month ago. Another week and you'll be in overdrive.
