Best Christmas

Well I have to say that this has been one of the best Christmas holidays I have had. For starters my husband and me did not get into an argument this time like we usually do about something for the holidays and our girls, their boyfriends, and the grandchildren enjoy all of their presents and everyone stay late. Of course the hit of the holiday was the wii and everyone enjoy playing that including my husband. All in all it was one of the greatest Christmas yet to remember. Will have photos following shortly.

Busy Weekend

Well my weekend started Saturday Morning after I got off of work and had to make two casseroles. After that I had a 3 hour nap before going to my mother's house for our christmas dinner at 5. After the dinner I took 3 of the grandkids back home with me to spend the night and they stay with me most of Sunday. Now it's Monday and I have a long work week ahead six days straight. That happens when you work in retail for the holidays.

Was I Naughty or nice

You Were Nice This Year

You Were 25% Naughty, 75% Nice

Okay, so you weren't *entirely* nice this year
But Santa doesn't expect a modern girl to be perfect
You were good enough - and you'll be rewarded for it

Well today was just a lazy day for me. I didn't do nothing but lay on the couch and watch tv. I caught up on all my recorded shows from tivo and took a couple of naps. I should I gotten my butt out today because we had some unseasonably warm weather today. I think it was in the 80's today.

The Tin Man

Well thanks to tivo I finally got to sit down and watch The Tin Man and I really enjoy it. It was a little on the dark side but was really good. I love the part where Dorothy Gale held the emerald and when dj went to get it she was taken back to the black and white part of the wizard of oz.
and in the end the witch melted again. And dj got her sister back and everyone was reunited with their families. Great show.

Survey on Christmas Lights

I added a survey on which Christmas lights people prefer. I was thinking back when I was a child we always had the multi color lights and mix and match Christmas ornaments. Then one day my Mother decides she wants white lights, red bows and red apple on the tree. Well ugh I wanted the tree like it always was but she did it and it was a pretty tree. When I got married and had children we always use the multi color lights and different kind of ornaments. As I got older and the children got older I decided I wanted to change to all white lights and gold and burgundy ornaments and of course the kids were not up to that even this year when we were putting up the tree my daughter still wanted to hang her hello kitty ornament on the tree, so I gave in and put all the non matched ornaments on the back of the tree. I guess I need another room so I can have two trees but then I would have to take all that stuff down and pack it back up ugh.

Christmas Shopping

Well I have gotten most of my Christmas shopping done. My daughters and grandchildren are all taken care of now and I have to get for my husband and a few friends left. I have found that shopping at Wal-mart at 3:00 am is a good time for shopping we were the only customers in there and had the whole store to our self with the exception of a few employees.
