Is It Thursday, Already???

GEEZ! Where is the time Going?? It was just Monday!LOL....I am SO behind! Crystal, Tim and the kids are coming over tomorrow night for a little Christmas get-together. Tim and Ty are leaving for Colorado Saturday morning for a week so we're having their Christmas a little early. Crystal and the kids will still be spending Christmas Eve night at our house for Their Christmas on Christmas morning. Even though they don't live with Hubby and I anymore, they still like the ritual....and so do we. I'm picking up a sandwich tray from our butchers at 10:00 in the morning and Hubby's making a cheese dip to go along with it. I've STILL got to finish shopping!!! I've been Awful this year with getting things done!! I guess I'm still waiting for the Christmas elves to finish up for me!

SO, here's hoping You're finished, and resting, while I run around town like Wonder Woman!!! Happy day ya'll!

Monday Again....

Well, it's a Monday again....We went to Sam's Club Saturday and I found this big container of those powdery soft peppermint candies. I Love those things! I brought them to work and the guys have really decided they like them too!Hahaa....Well, it's Christmas!

I also whipped up some chocolate chip cookies...it was Very hard to do! Once I found the scissors and managed to open the package, things went pretty fast...LOL...So, that's about it for the day. It's 32 degrees here but I hear A LOT of people have it Much worse, so I won't moan about it! Hope you all have a Safe and warm night!

Now I have to THINK...LOL...Don't 'cha just Hate when that happens?? I'm SO open to suggestions!!!! Happy THINKING ya'll!!!

The Things We Do.....

Geez....For the past several weeks, I've just been Tired! Dragging Dog Tired....Couldn't figure it out. Till Now. Corky, the DOG, whines half the night....EVERY night. I've tried Everything!! He's done this since Crystal and the kids moved out in June. He's 17...old. I thought he was in pain...so I took him to the Doctor...nothing...Doc says it's just old age. Whining...I can't do Anything without him being Right there. Can't remember How many times I've almost tripped over him!! We love, pet, rub, scratch, bounce, play...sing to....WHAT?!!LOL...It's like having a Baby around! SO, last night, out of desperation, I grabbed his "blankie" and wrapped him in it....he slept ALL FRIGGIN NIGHT....OY!!!!!! (picture me banging my head on the wall)LOLHahaaa.....I need some of that chili that I made for supper and a Big old honking cup 'a coffee...Happy night everyone!!
