On The Second Week of Christmas

This is what I did..

Dec 4: Listened to Christmas music, went to Andrew's choir Christmas concert, and watched some cheesy Christmas movie on abc.

Dec 5: Listened to Christmas music

Dec 6: Listened to Christmas music, put the ornaments on the tree, catalog shopped, store shopped, watched another cheesy Christmas movie

Dec 7: Listened to Christmas music, store shopped, watched part of a cheesy Christmas movie on Hallmark channel

Dec 8: Listened to Christmas music, finished decorating, wrapped presents

Dec 9-11: I forgot to write down what I did these days! But I worked all three days, so most likely all I fit in was Christmas music

The end of the 3rd week is almost here! Hope your house isn't as messy as mine, that you don't have as much shopping to do as I still have to do, and that your thighs don't hurt as much as mine do from snowboarding :)

Bedtime

Two of my favorite things about going to bed:

I get to use my awesome little lamp from Ikea

And I get to sleep in polka dotted sheets!

On The First Week of Christmas

If you know me at all, you know I loooovvvvveeee Christmas!

I love it so much I wanted to start Christmas decorating and preparing in October this year! But I held off and made myself decorate for fall and Thanksgiving, which was nice because we had people over for Thanksgiving this year.

So Christmas started for me right after Thanksgiving this year, and I am making sure I do something Christmas-y every day till Christmas (and it will probably go till at least New Year's) just to make sure I squeeze as much Christmas into December as I can!!

So far here is what I've done...

Nov 27: Listened to Christmas music, Shopped for Christmas presents
Nov 28: Listened to Christmas music
Nov 29: Listened to Christmas music, watched Elf, looked at Christmas lights
Nov 30: Listened to Christmas music, started decorating, online gift shopping
Dec 1: Listened to Christmas music, got our tree, decorated, put lights on the tree
Dec 2: Listened to Christmas music
Dec 3: Listened to Christmas music

Yes, listening to Christmas music will be listed probably every day. I love Christmas music and December is pretty much the only month that it's acceptable for me to listen to it every day.

I hope your Christmas season has gotten off to as good a start as mine!

Catching Up

I haven't really posted much of anything for awhile. I don't think I even finished doing what I wanted to do with my trip to Illinois in September.

Most of the problem is how many pictures I take!! I get behind on uploading and organizing them that I just don't get around to posting them.

So, I will be trying to catch up with my life on here over the next couple weeks, hopefully being all caught up by Christmas! :)

Because I didn't have time yesterday...

I am thankful for

A family who loves me, cares for me, and supports me

Having a job

A husband who puts up with my shenanigans and supports my baking obsession

A warm house

Friends

The pumpkin pie and whip cream that I am currently eating

All the traveling I have been able to do in my life so far

Faith

A mom who is also one of my best friends

A dad who I know is always there for me

Grandparents who have shown me what true love and sacrifice are

Technology that allows me to keep in touch with friends all over the world

There are so many more things I am thankful for. But I think those are all the biggest ones for me right now. I hope everyone found at least a couple things to be thankful about yesterday!

Eat Cake

I love these cakes! ... http://www.eatcakebemerry.com/index2.php#/home/

I'm excited to see the Eat Cupcakes section when it gets added! And considering the price of cakes today, these prices aren't too bad.

Not that I'm looking to buy a cake or somethin' :)

.my first (and probably last) not me monday.

Kendahl always participates in this Not Me Monday thing, and I always comment back on her posts about it. She hasn't posted anything for today, and so I decided to make my own not me Monday for today because I did really stupid things this week. Not a lot of things, but what I did was really dumb and sad. So here goes...

Last Thursday there's no way I could have left the back window down of my car, resulting in enough snow in the back seat to shovel out! I could never be that absent-minded.

(I'm almost embarrassed to even admit this one)...Today I definitely did not make plans to go snowboarding tomorrow, thinking Copper Mountain opened. (It doesn't actually open till Nov 6th.) And there's no way I could have mistaken a website posting from the 2006 opening day being Nov 3 for the 2009 season!

The other day I went to Goodwill and got a perfectly good frame, including the glass, for only $2. I'm not so careless as to have set it on the counter while I was working on something else, just to lose my grip, my arm swing across the counter top, knocking the frame onto the floor, shattering the glass all over the place. I am just not that clumsy.

The End.
