It's True

Soo you know how I told you I have been Christmas shopping since August? Well it's true...

I am beginning to think things are getting out of hand though!

Yesterday I started trip shopping. I know the snow isn't even flying - it is not even cold here, but I find my self sneaking over to check out the getaways.

Then today... I hate to admit this, but I was Christmas Card shopping!! Yes Christmas Cards. I blame shutterfly for having a deal on, but still! I might have a problem?

Then I popped over to Leigh's blog and saw her post about the CANADIAN Christmas Swap

 

Be sure to head over and sign up (if you are Canadian of course)

 



 

I even almost told M about his Christmas present. Not cool!

 

 

Anyone else having these problems?

 

Oh and another great announcement... another pound bites the dust!!! Yup! 6 pounds down!! Couldn't be happier to see them go, just wish it was as easy to lose as it was to gain!!

 

Hoping for another successful Zumba class and that my back co-operates tonight!! I do not want another set back!

 

Well That's A Wrap!

The weekend that is! I will admit happy to have that one done and over with!

Friday night was fun! We went and played some cards with N & K and I am proud to say us ladies kicked ass!!

Saturday:
My Mom is pretty much settled in her new place. I did enjoy spending time with these littles:

 

 

Sunday I made time to go and see M play in an old fashioned baseball game. They play with no gloves with and wood bats. It was actually a humorous game, I mean look at what they wore:

 

He might just kill me for posting this and if he doesn't N will!

The other team had straw hats!

The game took place in a pioneer village, which was neat to explore.

 

We got home, went and got groceries and had a nice quiet evening.

I also enjoyed Revenge being back on TV!!

 

Today I got my external hard drive!! Steal of a deal if I might say so myself:

$65 that is it!!

 

Now I just need to figure out the best way to organize everything!

 

Happy Monday friends!!

 

Winnings/Odds/Ends

Wow, it is Friday - this week just zoomed on by!! I feel like I haven't had a chance to catch up on the happenings of this week!

Yesterday I was busy moving my Mom. My back is now killing me, not sure what happened, but it hurts! I have a love on for my heat pack now!!

I have been a lucky girl this week!! I have won 2 awesome give aways! One from Grin & Barrett, Melissa was kind enough to be giving away a custom "About Me" side bar by the VERY talented Aubrey from The Kinch Life Designs!! Sooo as you can see not only is my old background back, but Aubrey redid my "About Me" side bar and I absolutely LOVE it!! I am soo happy with it!! She also has some great deals on blog design - be sure to check her out!!! Thank you Ladies!!

The 2nd Give Away I won was from Alison!! A gift that she has actually already given me, but now I have one to pass on to someone else! Alison gave me my necklace when we met back in July! I am soo entirely grateful!! It is honestly one of my favorite necklaces for soo many reasons and I am actually wearing it today. I actually wear it most days! It is from The Hudson Foundation. They are a non-profit organization that supports those struggling with infertility. Such an amazing cause!!!

They have a store where you can purchase your own hope necklace, as well as other items and all proceeds go directly to The Hudson Foundation. Amazing!! What a great way to give Hope to anyone who needs it, as well as support this amazing cause! Thank you Alison!!!

My crocheting is getting better!! I am past the half way point I think!!

Oh and remember this picture:

I am happy to announce that as horrible as these treats may be, they were both gone by the time I got home. Soo when M came home, he had to try giving it to them himself, because the picture made him laugh soo hard and we got the same reaction. Can you guess which one ended up eating them?

Gracie... what a trooper!! Lily was having no part of it!! hahaha!

I'll be honest I am not really looking forward to finish moving my Mom, but c'est la vie!! M also agreed to play in an old fashioned baseball game on Sunday. No gloves or bats... not to sure how the game is player, but it should be entertaining and it is on London, where I will be anyways!!

These Scentsy Buddy Buy 1 Get 1 Free deals are going crazy!!! Over $26000.00 sold in just buddies alone YESTERDAY!!! It is a crazy awesome deal and make for great gifts!!!! Interested? Let me know!! Awesome deal!!

Happy weekend friends!!

Lovely Little Wednesday!

It is Wednesday and I am typically loving that fact alone!! Why?

Well where do I start?

The photo book I thought was due last night is actually due tonight, which allowed me to get half of done last night and the other half tonight! I guess I can be pretty good at compromising and procrastinating!

Zumba kicked my ass last night... it was a good kicking and secretly I liked it! haha!

My crocheting is coming together!! I had a bit of time yesterday once I found out I had until to today to complete my photo book! Progress in only 45 minutes time:

Then there is this little guy, who loves to tease me... he is clearly hard at work, folding towels right!? Nope, just teasing me!! Little stinker!!

Then there are these two... they really didn't care for the sweet potato treats!! They came out quicker than they went in and it was a shared consensus!! They were not very impressed to say the least!

Let's talk TV!!

Parenthood: You really pick topics that hit home, seeing Kristina have to go through this is painstakingly hard, just seeing the strength she emits to get through this inspires me in my everyday life! I just love this show soo much!! Even though I cannot relate to breast cancer, it is nice to see her lean on Adam and explain her needs during this journey of her life.

Private Practice: Oh my goodness!! I love this show! I had to try to remember how they left off last year and then I remember Pete dying... and I was shocked with Addison's choice, I really thought she would have picked Sam! And then Charlotte being prego with triplets... craziness!! Hurry up next Tuesday!!

My PVR is jam packed with shows!! And to think soo many of my regular shows haven't even started yet!! I am looking forward to Grey's tomorrow night!!!

Happy Wednesday friends!!

Operation Crochet:

Operation Crochet was pretty much a success, not that I am near completion of my first project which is a dishcloth, but I actually know what I am doing! Well sort of... it did take me 2 hours last night, but what I ended up with after those 2 very long hours is straight and I can just see the progress! haha!

Here take a look for yourself:

 

Yup... so a dishcloth is 9 inches... it only took me 2 hours to complete an inch, so at this rate, 16 hours later I should have a dishcloth, although I think it won't take me this long. Then if you think, if I were to sell said dishcloth - it would be like a $100 dishcloth! Haha!

 

Just kind of funny when you think about it!

 

But I don't even have time to work on this today until I finish making a photo book reflecting on Diamond's life. My deadline is tomorrow... I am not usually a procrastinator!

 

Therefore, that is all I have for you on today's post because clearly I have work to do!
