Hope everyone has a great holiday!!!!

I'm going to a cookie exchange tomorrow during the day with my mom and the ladies from her work. I made some coconut macaroons and I'll be bringing Asian Coleslaw (made with ramen!) as my side dish. I think I will also bring a chocolate-peanut butter dip and fresh banana to dip in it. Ed made beer-butt chicken and some awesome spicy potatoes on the ( Read more... )

Friday: Got up with Ed since he has to be at work at 7am. Went to Super Target® for last minute shopping and then to Wally World® where apparently no one on staff has a clue to where the calenders were moved, not even the managers. Went to work at 9am. We closed at 2:30 because we had 6 whole customers. Finished wrapping presents and headed to the ( Read more... )

Christmas was not good for me this year. Don't get me wrong, the gifts and family were wonderful. I have a lot to be thankful for. I myself was not into it. I had chemo on Monday and felt sicker than I ever had this whole week. Never put up any decorations. Didn't have a lot of money so I gave less this year. My projects didn't turn out. And I had ( Read more... )

I feel ill. I went to chemo this morning. I've lost 4 lbs. That's good. The girl, I say girl because she's younger than me and I still say I'm a girl,  the nurse who did my IV always hurts me. She's done my chemo 3 times now and everytime the stick and thread is really painfully. The last 2 times blood went all over the place. It squirted all over ( Read more... )

I already have 2/3 of my Christmas card list done. They are even stamped! And then I ran out of cards. Who knows when they'll make it in the mail, it's still too soon. Perhaps Thanksgiving weekend. I hope I don't misplace them ( Read more... )

John Montoya stopped by tonight with our Christmas present. He was an usher in our wedding and rides for Edward's clothing company. He enlarged (to an 8x10) and framed a photo of Edward and me that he took at our wedding. It is so awesome. I hadn't seen this photo before. I think it's actually the best picture of our wedding, and maybe the best ( Read more... )

"Dear God,
If I get lots of presents tomorrow, I promise to be good from now until I wake up in the morning."

"Why you little! I'll kill you!"

I hope you get everything you wish for.
Happy Holidays!

I did some shopping today. It wasn't actually too bad. I'm pretty good at steering my way through the crowds. I went over to the folks' house afterward (or should I say in the middle since I went back out into it again with my dad tonight). My niece Amber is staying there until Christmas. She is soo adorable. She's 9 1/2 months and is walking like ( Read more... )
