Here we are... its time for me to go back to work

I hate returning to work after vacation. I love vacation, but returning to work is always very sad. After this year I guess I should just be greatful I have a job to return to. Anyway. Does anyone know the details for the 10th for card club. Start and finish times. I need to turn my work schedule in. Thanks.

Sales

THe mall was a mad house yesterday everyone buying up all the leftovers!! I went to Werner Lowe this morning and got a tote, a purse, and a wallet. And it was only $77. They had alot of vera left if you have any interest in buying some. A whole table 50% off.

Its Christmas Eve

Well its the most wonderful time of the year. I can't believe that Christmas Eve is already upon us. When I was a child this day was the best. I went to my dad's 2 family Christmas's this day and then my mom's mom had it that night and it was the best.

Now as an adult we spend the afternoon/evening with Jason's family. And then try to stop by one set of friends and spend a few minutes.

Today I'll be cooking to get ready for tomorrow.

see ya soon.

So in a week ...

Christmas will be over for another year. The next week will be alot of fun for most of us, time with family and friends and food, and maybe some great presents!! This will be the first Christmas since my divorce many years ago that I will have both kids on Christmas morning and no need to return them to MS. I have had them on Christmas morning but I have always had to rush them home the next day. I'm extra thankful for that this year. Of course the presents aren't what they use to be, like new toys and all that but they got the stuff on their list so they should be excited just nothing to "play" with. Neither of the kids our very big gammers so not even new xbox games.

I wrote out our menu for Christmas day yesterday, its huge. We stay home Christmas day sometimes people drop by. But mostly we are just at home. I'm going to post the menu not because I think anyone cares what I eat on Christmas day but I want to have it on the blog so I can look back on it next year.

• Cinnamon rolls early while we open gifts
• (breakfast) omelets with lots of veggies, bacon, sausage links, french toast, syrup, fresh orange juice
• (lunch) summer sausage, cheese, cheesball, crackers, brownies and cookies
• (supper) ham, hamburgers(nick request), corn casserole, sweet pot casserole, green beans,macaroni and cheese, potato salad,(em requested) rolls, cappuccino pie

That is my menu for Christmas day. Try to post again a couple of times before the holiday.

Christmas times a comin'

I love Christmas, it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. I do have several projects underway that might or might not get done. I'm working on it. Half of my presents are wrapped and all but a few presents are bought. Gift cards are mostly all I have left. I made 2 cheese balls tonight one for my scrappin' buddies and one for Jason to take to work. I also made those noodle/butterscotch haystack things, and made my cookie dough and will bake it soon. I have to wait for it to chill in the frig. My bags can't be finished until my cookies are, my tags are done as well as my cards.

oh by the way Thanks so much for shopping at the Barrel if you did, I need my job and it is job security when you see all those people spending their money. Thanks a bunch.

See most of you on Friday night or Saturday I can't wait

NO posting.

I'm sure you've noticed no blogging for me lately. We have been without a computer for a couple of weeks because we had no power cord and who knew it was such an ordeal to obtain a new one for a laptop. I had no idea how ridiculously expensive they were.

Lots going on with the holiday fast approaching. presents to wrap!! and alot of them! This week is shopping days at work and they are always a little crazy.!!

Next weekend is my big scrap event with my friends swapping cookies and tags and pages ! can't wait and I have a ton of gifts to finish and had a couple more added to my plate this week. One i'm being paid for so I couldn't say no to that!!

more later
