In preparing for 2010, I started reading this book. Seems my main two focuses most years are losing weight and getting rid of stuff/organizing.
That's how I feel right now. I leave for Indiana on Thursday and I feel like Christmas has snuck up on me with so many last minute things to do before leaving. But I know once I hit the front door of my parents house everything will be fine. I'll feel like a 12 yr old again.
I read this tweet a few minutes ago from @AndrewWarner
Lolly left on Saturday for a week in Orlando with her Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin.
that was a quote from my mother when I was younger and told her I wanted to go into design. I like to think I did ok in the creative area anyway. I can throw a mean party. Painting, maybe not so much though.
and I have at least two. A Dickens Village and then some has been handed down to me by an Aunt. On my last trip home, I was given half of what she has. I couldn't fit Lolly, myself, our luggage and all my village in the car. I had to leave some behind. My Aunt is awaiting my return to give the other half. My mom, to have me take what was left behind.
also known in some parts as taking one for the team.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph do not, under any circumstance, run to Trader Joe's and buy the Peppermint Bark White Chocolate Bar. Whatever you do not open and taste it. Don't question. Don't argue. Just listen. You'll thank me later. Because Trader Joe's doesn't deliver and when you run out you won't be able to get your next fix quick enough. I am just sayin.
I originally saw it on Katy Shops which I try not to visit too often because I always find something I want to buy from reading her blog.
I've seen the calendar with fancier frames but I opted for a basic frame. I don't have the wall space in my kitchen, so it sits on the counter.
The instructions say it's easy but I'll be honest. I broke out in a sweat applying the calendar to the glass. It was a bit stressful.
Otherwise know how my Thanksgiving has been hijacked. Last year I stayed home with just me and the Mister. Total bliss. PJs, watching movies on couch,cooking, bottle of wine. It was so wonderful I told Mister, I don't intend to go anywhere next year either. Feel free to invite your family here but I am not leaving the house. I was feeling pretty happy with myself. Certain I had set myself up for another enjoyable Thanksgiving.

I may have to get that tattoed on the palm of my hand as a reminder because I am sure at the sound of a certain someone's voice I'd completely forget care, kindness, and understanding in one full swoop. Ugh, I've got work to do in the "being a better person" and "growing" departments.
I'm putting a halt to Table Topic Tuesdays. The majority of questions left are of a more racy nature. I have no problem answering the questions or with sharing too much information. But, Lolly some times reads and things are just starting to click into place for her about things of a racier nature. References on tv, in songs, etc. You get it. So to save her from overload, I'll have to think of something else to blog about on Tuesdays.
It's Monday with a capital M.work irritation
Hanging on till Tuesday.
Lolly had decorated my car for my birthday. How sweet is that.
It's the last Pokeno of the year and I plan to win my share of prizes and all the money and drink an adult beverage or two minus the fancy dress and tiara. Well maybe I'll break the tiara back out.
which chores do you enjoy and which do you despise?I enjoy doing laundry, I despise folding and putting up clothes. Go figure.
what do you enjoy? despise?
