I don’t know what is more wrong, the fact that I actually thought about this, or that I am posting it.

I couldn’t help but think that this baby doll has manboobies…

This weekend JR got the tree in the house, the ornaments are all over the living room, nothing else is done.
I can’t seem to bring myself to do anything…
We took our grandson to see a Christmas train display, I love making memories with that boy.
My step-son and future daughter in law(sounds odd but good) are getting married on New Years Day. I’ve spent most of the day looking for someone to do the ceremony on a Holiday...finally did, so we are almost ready...yes I said WE...they are letting me “help” ha! suckers;)
Our grandbaby will be here in August, I am giddy just thinking about it!
2011 is already getting so busy...life, it just keeps you moving.

We got a little early Christmas present yesterday, big news, my step-son and his fiance are expecting a baby!
JR and I get another grandbaby to love and spoil, he or she will be here in August.
The wedding is going to be moved up a bit, not sure when it will be but I am happy for the kids, and for our family, babies are a wonderful gift!

When JR and I went to Mexico in October we went with another couple, one related to him *ahem*
It really wasn’t bad, I mean we were in our own little paradise after all, but the female half of the couple...me no likey so much.
There are many reasons for my feelings, but you know family is family *ahem*

I don’t consider her a friend, we get along in a polite way...I bite my tongue a lot, grin and bear it.
When I got our trip pictures uploaded is when I knew she is no friend of mine, a friend would tell you if you had something in your nose, or something in your teeth, if you are in desperate need of a mint...a real friend would also not let you walk around a resort, thinking you’re looking all kinds of cute, have your picture taken with your spouse...while your freaking slip showed the entire night!
A real friend would not take your picture and not say something...and yes I was with JR and NO he didn’t tell me either but, he is a GUY so he gets a pass.

I can’t wait until Christmas at the in-laws’ as soon as I see a boog in her nose, or pepper in her teeth I am taking a picture...and sweet revenge will be mine, once I post it on Facebook of course.

In an effort to get into the Christmas spirit I’ve dragged my family to just about every event within 100 miles, 2 weeks ago we went to a huge light parade, then a tree lighting.
Last weekend we went to a great show, I’ll put the link to the pictures at the end of this post.
Saturday morning I went to a Christmas Brunch with 2 friends, then that night went to my niece’s Christmas pageant.
Tonight...on a “school night” even, we are going to our town’s parade and tree lighting...how many trees can I see lit?

I still do not have one single ornament, decoration or anything else related to the Holidays up...somehow I don’t think this whole spirit thing is going to happen.

This coming weekend is free so far, maybe I’ll decorate then, I don’t know...anyone have a tree lighting I can go to next weekend?? parade? 

Here is the link to the pictures of the Ice Show.

Anyone got the Holiday blues too?

This weekend my MIL, stepdaughter, daughter and I had a fun trip to a Christmas store.
We started off with lunch at the tea room in the store.

This is what The Girl had:

Nina’s (step-daughter) plate:

My MIL had the Quiche and Spinach Cream soup:

I didn’t get a pic of mine because it was just a salad, a delicious one but not very exciting.

We spent about 3 hours in the store, I took pictures of my favorite trees and decorations, the New Years Eve tree was the one that I fell in love with:

Some of the ornaments were working clocks, so you can set them to all go off and chime in the new year, super cool!

We then went to get my in-laws’ Christmas tree:

It actually fit on top of Nina’s car...we couldn’t help but sing Christmas songs all the way home

We were treated to a beautiful sunset. The end of a perfect day:

I’ve decided to quit the 30 day thing.
Go figure, I’m flaking on something...fickle much?

I have been feeling so blah about this blog, I love it but it’s just been so LAME.
Chatty and I were talking about this very thing yesterday, and Facebook versus blogging, I prefer my blog although my lack of posts may show otherwise.
The lack of posts comes from something, fear is not the right word but maybe a need for privacy and not wanting to be all OUT there because there is already too much lack of privacy now, have you googled your name recently? I hadn’t done that in a while, and I spent several hours this week asking to be removed from searches and even having to fax my DL as proof that I am the person requesting the removal...seriously who would want their personal info being that accessible?? not just your name and address but names of your immediate family? maiden names and all??? that’s too much!

My need for privacy is not so much for me because most of you already know my full name, have my phone number and my home address...I feel the need to protect people in my life, like my grandkids.
I love how open Misty is in her blog, and it is truly a journal she can look back on over the years. I want that.
I decided that I’m going to start really blogging again, about my life and not just fluffy posts about what I had for lunch. I will still protect entries with pictures/videos of my babies, and of course there is Flickr too.

I’m diving back into this...who else is with me?
