Tomorrow we eat until we almost pass out...Yes?
Almost a week off from work, color me happy!
Who is cooking?
Who is hosting?
Who is going to be forced to eat a meal with people you don’t like?
Unload all of your Holiday angst on me, come on it will make you feel better, promise.
I am making a no-bake dessert to take to my in-laws’, I cannot wait until I can have the wonderful goodness of my MIL’s cooking.
Tomorrow I’m spending time with Jules, going to my hairdresser so she can give her a new ‘do then we’re going to lunch and mapping out our plan of attack on Black Friday.
I got the house decorated for Christmas today, I started cleaning and putting things away around 8am and other than taking a couple of short breaks I didn’t stop until now.
Last year I sucked at the Holiday thing all around, I have this thing about not doing anything Christmas related until Thanksgiving is over, some years when we get home from my in-laws we decorate, last year I got the Advent calendar up for our grandson and JR brought the tree in and it stayed undecorated, some nights he’d plug it in but I couldn’t care less about even doing that much.
I was in a funk, the Holiday blues were drowning me but this year I’m not going there.
I didn’t think about how much had to be done even before I started decorating, and I didn’t get discouraged thinking about how pretty soon it will all have to be taken down.
I feel so good knowing we can enjoy next week now, it’s all done! If it’s cold enough on Thursday I want to come home and have JR build a fire, we’ll snuggle up and watch “Christmas Vacation” because it’s a tradition and that will be the end of our day.
Friday morning Jules and I are going shopping, I don’t know why I’m excited about that but I am, I’m not a morning person by any means but we’ll be out by 4am.
Madness!!
It was one of those days that start off really busy but ends on a quiet peaceful note, I love quiet evenings at home.
Did that just sound like a personal add? “I love walks in the park and quiet evenings at home, I have a trick pelvis and can put my whole fist in my mouth”
Ha ha ha!
Yeah. I took a 3 hour nap this afternoon since we had to get up and going so early, I woke up at 6:30 and decided to go shopping for scrapbook stuff. I’m taking that up again and I’m actually exited about it, mostly happy that I will be finally making use of all the thousands of dollars in supplies I have, tonight I bought a rolling tote and storage boxes to file pictures for each project, I can’t wait to get started.
What a nerd I can be...jeez.
We had a soggy wet crappy day today, but it’s Friday and I only work 2 half days next week so it’s all good.
We have a busy day tomorrow with my family’s Thanksgiving lunch and another family event, hopefully the rest of the weekend will be low-key, I am really physically and mentally exhausted and need a break.
Night all and have a great weekend!
Today I wore a very nice outfit to work, the best part was my high heeled black knee-high boots.
I felt kind of hot you know? I love hearing the sexy clicking of my heels and just felt sassy as hell.
About 3pm I decided to give my feet a break and took the boots off, that is when all the sexiness left me, I had put on a pair of trouser socks this morning...one black and one navy blue.
That was very humbling, and so very me.
