  • Sick

    I am like this little character from the puffs commercial. If I am not careful before long my nose will run away like his does too (in the commercials). I am sneezing non-stop and I can't go 4 minutes without blowing my nose.

     

    All of this really bums me out too because I was really looking forward to doing some fun Christmas things this weekend. I was going to have Dusty over tonight and we were going to wrap his friends and teachers Christmas presents. Then, tomorrow morning the boy were going to help Courtney and me make cookies. Dang it! ... But, I guess no one would really want snotty germy cookies (nor would Court want my germs).

    It was about 9 o'clock last night when Nick said, "do you still think you want to have Dusty tomorrow night with you feeling like this?" -- until then I hadn't really thought about it. Because yes, I did, but no I shouldn't. Humph! ... Well I have all of these plans rescheduled for next weekend. I just wish I was better now! Booo! ... Maybe if I feel good enough I will piece my gingerbread house together on Sunday.

  • Black Friday shopping at my fingertips

    For some reason I had this really strong urge to shop today, which strongly goes against my ingrained -- DO NOT GO SHOPPING ON BLACK FRIDAY -- thinking. So, I decided to compromise with myself and do some online shopping. There are good deals of free shipping and if you shop around you can get lower prices than in the store. Of course, my personal favorite is Amazon. I was having a bit of trouble getting some items ordered today but it was probably just because of the high shopping volume? Nonetheless, I have them ordered now!

    My holiday shopping has gone really good this year. I have just been picking things up here and there. I am completely done shopping for is my mom and Courtney but just need 1 more item for Dusty, Dad, Nick, and Michelle. The hard part is Nick's family. Nick never has any ideas and I usually don't know what to get them. I am also trying to decide who all I should give things to. As far as extended family... when I say give I mean things like cookies, breads of crafts. The only people I know I am buying gifts for are: Nick, my dad, my mom, Dustin, his mom, his dad, his sister, his brother in law, his grandpa, yiayia, Budda, Papa, Courtney, Michelle, and then we each have two people we have exchange gifts to buy for. Besides that I got my boss and coworkers small things as well. -- That was supposed to be a short list but looking at it now it sure does look a bit lengthy! haha.

    I have a feeling this xanga post will sending me into a whirlwind of list. Those whom I have to buy gifts for. Those whom I will make a craft/cookies/breads. The cookies/breads I am considering making... oh boy... the holiday season is here!

    I am thinking about looking at some magazines today and trying to pick out a holiday craft or two as well as some holiday cookies. Any favorites? ... If I make breads or cookies then I just have to decide who to give them to and who not... Maybe I will take over for Mom this year and make holiday breads for Dusty's teachers. She doesn't really have a lot of time and it would be fun to have Dusty over to work on those. He LOVES cooking. Maybe I could even utilized the downstairs oven... Anyone up for a baking day?

  • Christmas wish list

    I thought I'd take a minute to jot down my Christmas wish list because everyone keeps asking for one (mom, mom-inlaw, Nick...)

    Backpack (to go back to school)
    Sewing kit (so I can fix little things, like pillowcases)
    Beatles tee (from Sunshine Daydream)
    Beatles Rockband (I am being patient for this one)
    Hawkeyes clothing
    Nightmare before Christmas DVD

    I really can't think of much. The things I do need are BIG. Nick and I have been looking at cars, we are needing a water heater, and I am really wanting to get our fans replaced (adding lights instead of just fans). Maybe I should ask for Lowes or Home Depot gift cards. haha
