Notice how I just skip Thanksgiving and go directly into Christmas? I don't know what has gotten into me. My desktop is Thanksgiving, as well as my icon and wallpaper, but I can't help but feel all holly-jolly inside. AOL radio has their Christmas music stations up....but I'm disappointed with it. They have rock, r&b, eclectic....but not a traditional station. The closest I have found is the jazz holiday station. Maybe I'm just missing it. If I am....point it out to me! LOL....
I had to run errands this morning. I went to the bank, took out a small loan for gas, picked up Betsy's contacts, then went to Wal Mart. I had to get some material because Betsy is making an apron in sewing class, and wants to make it for ME. She told me to pick out whatever fabric I wanted (and I got to pay for it too! LOL....) I chose a plaid Christmas design with a solid red accent. It will be pretty. Let's see....I picked up only a few things that weren't on my list. A mini hot roller set for my hair (only $12.96) and some lip liner. Oh, and I did get some of those "space" bags where you put the comfort in , then vacuum suck the air out so that it's flat. I love those things! I should go on eBay to get a better deal though. Two for $12 is kinda ridiculous. Oh yeah, I did get new burners for my stove too. Ummmm, a shower curtain, four boxes of nasal spray (dh is a real snot....lmao) and razors. I'm sure there are a few more things, but I'm not sure what. Don't you hate it when you leave the store and you think you are forgetting something? I had a list, and I followed the list....but I still felt there was something I forgot. Oh well....
I then ran to my mom's to check out her new front door....beautiful stained glass btw....and her new pot bellied stove. Lookin good. Then we ran to my grandmother's for a minute so that mom could help her pay her tax bill....then it was back to my car to pick up some lunch and come home. I don't know what it was today, but I was craving a burger and a shake. Now I'm full....too full. I have 1/2 of a shake left and I can't finish it. I'll have to throw it away to hide the evidence....dh will tease me and the girls will whine that I didn't get them anything! LOL.
My mil will be flying in on Saturday afternoon. Sigh. I do enjoy visiting with her, but I'm not quite in the mood right now. Of course, I will be when she gets here, but I'm just a little on edge lately (thank you Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo). I've been a bit snippy with the family, and I feel like I'm going to jump out of my skin half the time. My privacy will be gone for a week....but for three of the days we will be in Orlando, so I suppose it won't be that bad. We are going to Universal Studios, which should be fun. We have never been there so anyone who can recommend a "can't miss" attraction, be sure to let me know!
Well, I'm off to wash some sheets and try out my space bags. I'm so excited! (and perhaps a bit pathetic as well?)

you go girl. I aways wait until the last min. for my shopping and then send my daughter. I'm very early on christmas decorations usually 2 weeks before Thanksgiving. Now it's time to take halloween down and who knows if the christmas will go straight up or I will get it done in a couple weeks. right now I'm quiting my job and my house needs so much attention repairs and cleaning and pool needs covering so much work at home. I'm so happy to be free 5 more days and I'm checking out of Hotel Ca. forever thank God.

The Cat in the Hat Ride at Universal's Adventure Island is really wonderful and not too wild and crazy... kids of ALL ages will love it. The Spiderman Ride is over there too and just awesome! Those are my favorite rides in the whole park. Hugs,

Life is too short my friend. Enjoy the Christmas music! I wish we all could have the Christmas spirit all year long.
I laughed out loud when I read "Holly Jolly" You are too funny. I'm jealous you are going on a trip. I never go anywhere. You better take a lot of pics for me.
I have always wanted to try those space bags but I don't have a vacuum cleaner that goes in reverse to suck out the air. You need one of those right?! And, Christmas already?!?! Girl, you are making me crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
Hugs and love,
Lisa
