Friday! A day off work, but no time to relax. Today’s agenda: grocery store, shop for a new file cabinet, laundry, house cleaning, and I have to wait for the plumber to come over. I have never had to call a plumber before, but we have a sink that won’t drain and doesn’t respond to drain cleaner.
Friday aslo means I am a bit closer to leaving for vacation. Just a few more weeks left. Isn’t that fantastic?

Yay!! It's Friday!!! I am now off call for the week... Let someone else deal with the crazies!
@Charade67 When I looked at your countdown, I though "Is she getting married at Universal? Cool!"
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend filled with fun planned!

51
In 51 days, I'll be riding the Men in Black experience at Universal Studios! I can't wait!!!
- 51 is the last UHF channel possible for American television since channels 52-69 were withdrawn in December of 2011
- 51 is the car number for Doc Hudson in the 2006 animated film, Cars
- 51 is the direct dial code for Peru
- 51 is the atomic number for Antimony
- 51, or Area 51, is a parcel of land owned by the US Military that is reportedly a secret aircraft testing area. Also, it is rumored to have alien artifacts. It's probably where one would find "Men In Black'.

Great countdown Chuckers. Nope, no wedding for me. I’ve been married for 22 years. I hate that my countdown app has the advertising banners, but I’m not willing to pay to make the ads go away. Usually it is an add for a pregnancy countdown. Not doing that again either.

Riley is dropped off and happy. I'm showered and ready and this is the point when I start flipping out. Why is it that petty things like chargers and toothbrushes can bring an educated woman to her knees?
I give. I'm done. If it isn't packed at this point, there's nothing a good old fashioned AmEx binge can't handle.
See ya on the Darkside, homies.

Morning Sans family 
. Big mug of coffee in hand.
Lynne hope you are enjoying your tea this morning.
Hope all who are sick are recovering
Keisha hope noggin injury is getting better and the work on your tooth is progressing.
Squirlz that C-diff is mean stuff, hope that is clearing up with your meds and you are ready for your vacation. Just the thought of vacation should provide some healing
Chuckers yeah to 51 days till your much deserved vacation.
Mac if I lived nearby I would for sure come over and decorate your tree for you
. Do the cats get in your Christmas tree?
Safe travels and great vacation wishes to all who are traveling.
Schumigirl what a great surprise to have all your upcoming trips in December, March and May. So glad to hear you and Tom are taking advantage of his retirement. So glad to hear that Kyle is getting to come in December. Nothing like having your child with you on the trips.
Have been going through photos that were in boxes that needed to be sorted and put in photo albums. I started this project at end of September and have been working on it little by little. When I’am done each child, grandchild, niece, nephew will have their own photo album. When my mother in law died she had kept a baby book of all her children and then my brother in law who is a photographer went through all the other albums and gave everyone their pictures. Was a big job. So will try and avoid this problem. When hubby and I kick off all the kids will have to do is take their own albums.
Made ressies at hotel near Chicago for Christmas shopping trip with little sis first week of December. Still not going directly in the city until they clean up the crime situation going on there. Cousin who lives nearby will not go into City anymore. Just not safe.
Have Christmas Trees up and added a couple more ornaments to Potter tree. Found a Gringotts Bank ornament.
Potter tree in formal living room, Triple Trees in entry hall, Elf Tree in dining room, Nutcraker Tree in Kitchen, Little Tree on table in kitchen. I have a Princess Tree I usually put in my bedroom. Haven’t put that one up yet. Hubby is a good sport with my Christmas decorations. He told me how nice everything looks. He’s is a sweet heart.
Have big Turkey in the freezer need to get out and get some sage for stuffing. Sage becomes hard to find closer to Thanksgiving. Will have everyone over for nice meal on Thanksgiving. Everyone is going to chip in so will help the back and legs a lot.
37 days to Christmas. Always love this time of year when the stores are decorated and everyone is cheerful.
Schumi have a glass of wine for me while you are decorating.
Have a great Friday everyone.

LOL Chuckers. Yep, time keeping is so much fun when it's a countdown.
Robo, hope the coffee is hot and in good supply. The trees look so great. Each tree is so lovely decorated. Yes, Potter one is awesome with the scarf and hat.
Charade, yes my week day off times are always stocked with errands and rides. Soon enough, more expenses once little one gets her license too. Then maybe not so many mom taxi trips. Hope you get a cup of tea or coffee to get some energy today. But a yahoo for having a day off.

Squirlz everyone has to do what they feel comfortable with. I hope you enjoy your visit again this year.
I love the City of Chicago. Was there for Christmas shopping last about 3 years ago. Macy’s is something to behold and lunch at the Walnut room was nice. The ChristKindalmarket in Daily Plaza was always a nice stop. I just don’t feel comfortable with the increase crime.
Was raised in suburb of Chicago and loved going to the City. My cousin and her husband live about half hour away and they would go into the city a lot. They refuse to go now do to the increased crime. They listened to the local news and keep a pulse on what’s happening in the City. People are being knocked down and their shopping bags taken, purses snatched and frequent stabbings. Just so sad.
The suburb where I grew up is even pretty bad now. Only make a quick stop there to visit a favorite restaurant that has been there since I was a little girl.

Wine has been sampled........it’s ok.........will have some more tonight.....going to watch Harry Potter and the Philospher’s Stone tonight.......or Sorcerers Stone as it was revamped for the American market......that’s tonight......

@Squirlz My highest score would be 0! I haven't gotten a chance to ride it yet! The last time I was at Universal Orlando was when FJ opened up, so there's a lot of new things for me to ride. I did all of IOA and then went to US and RRR made me so sick that I actually had to leave the park and go back to my Disney hotel.

Robo I love all of your trees. We just have one, and it's a challenge keeping the cat out of it. Last year we surrounded the tree with scat mats. It worked well until the cat discovered he could push a box lid on top of the scat mat.
Groceries and file cabinet have been purchased. Laundry and house cleaning have begun. I am still waiting for the plumber to show up.
