Oh Christmas Tree!

So, we need to get our tree this weekend. My kids are with their dad, but I'm thinking I'll go ahead and get the tree, get it in the stand(with my brothers help), and have the lights on it, so all we will have left is to decorate it when they get home Sunday night. I know it will make them happy, and once the tree is lit-up at night, I will enjoy it too. This wknd we have a lot going on...whats new? K has her all-star game she is cheering for, I have my work Christmas party that I think I'm going to, and you know, a list load of gifts to buy!! I'll keep y'all posted.~e

Love me some...

I thought that for my post today, I'd share with y'all my love for Paula Deen! I love her show(I tivo every episode), and I've even tried a few recipes. I must admit, I get a little overwhelmed at some ideas she cooks up, but I've tried a few of the "easy" dishes. I have a few of her cook books, and would love to get more! So, moving on...I have to work tonight, and I haven't worked since last Wed!!! I'm dreading it...wish me luck.~e

The 'list' continues to grow...

So, I've asked both C & K to please make a 'list' of items they would love to unwrap on Christmas morning. Well, 1 kids list is done, and it was given to me and that is that. The other kid on the other hand...the list just keeps growing!!!!!!! I mean seriously...every time it's given to me, it is kindly requested back, b/c, 'oh, 1 more thing I "need" '.... I'll give you all 1 and only 1 guess who this might be. They both have listed clothing from the same store, this is a first for our family, oh, it's already starting...~e (I've put a glimpse of something from each list, and their new 'store' clothing request.

baby, It's COLD outside!

BRRRR...might be time to break some of these babies out!~e

Christmas Time!

So, my fave time of year is Christmas Time!(even though I'm seriously thinking of only putting up a tree & not all of the other decor)!!! I think what I really look forward to are all of the Christmas specials on t.v.! It reminds me of kids(me being a kid & my own kids). I love all of the 'claymation' specials especially! So, as the kiddies and I are wandering around the house tonight, I'm debating only putting up a tree, and no extras. I don't really feel like dealing w/ all of the hassle honestly. My house is just way too small for even a tree, let alone any other decor.We are busting at the seams here, and I just cannot imagine bringing it all out & setting it all up. I'll have to think about it, and if it's worth the work for only 25 days?!~e

HSM

Today K and I went to see High School Musical 3! I think we are the last few people to finally go and see it, and it was great!!! We loved it! I of course, got a little misty eyed(which is not hard to do w/ me), it was just really fun to see K get so excited and smile throughout most of the movie. Tonight we plan on going to Justice so K can spend her gc's she received for her bday! More posts to come.~e

Shopping begins...

So, as Black Friday comes to an end(it's actually Saturday AM), I realize I was lucky enough not to even attempt to enter a mall or shopping area!! Sweet victory! :) I don't think I saw a single sale add on Thursday that made me want to attempt the madness! I've already started my shopping for my kiddies, so I am pleased about that..but I gotta get a move on, I mean really Christmas is only a month away!~e
