A quickie...

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy and healthy Holiday season...before I'm sucked in to the void, known as Nebrasky. Yes, I leave super early in the morning. When I say early, I mean early....my ride is supposed to be here at 2:45 AM. Any bets on when they actually show up? I don't even want to think about it. I just get more stressed out when I do.

Anyway, I got most of my Christmas cards out...with the exceptions of three people that I have to hunt up addresses for again. Oh and I'm very excited to see how many people have the wrong card in their envelope. Don't ask. I just realized when I went to stick a card in that I wrote the night before but didn't stuff in the envelope, that I had the wrong card for that particular envelope....yeah, so who knows how many I goofed on. Well, at least it will make them think a little, laugh a little and make fun of me behind my back a lot. Oh well!

I stalling right now. I don't want to pack anymore. I'm tired and want a nap but that's not going to happen. Anyway....Happy Holidays!

They got them!

Remember earlier in the year when I told the story about my Aunt getting beaten up in a robbery at her work place? Well, they caught the scum that did it. They were from Missouri and rumor has it that one of the guys had been turned in several years before for passing a bad check at the business. So, who knows, maybe it was about revenge...but I'm more inclined to think it was just stupidity that drove those guys to do something like that. I mean really, normal, sane people don't rob businesses and then beat the holy bejebbers out of the ladies who are complying to their every whim. Nope, it takes a special kind of jerk to beat up on unarmed women. It's just sickening. One of the guys they are keeping in Missouri because he stabbed and killed someone. The other guy admitted to the robbery in NE and then said he wanted to plea bargain....the dip wad! I mean seriously, he must have been a special kind of dumb to confess before working out a deal.

Oy Freaky Vey!

I had a nightmare a little while ago. Freaked me out a little too. I don't even want to talk about it because I'm trying to get it out of my head so I can go back to sleep. I did try sleeping right away...but I started dreaming the dream again. Yeah, so I decided it was time to get out of bed and do something else for a while. Hence, the blog post. I know I'm not supposed to post when I'm lacking sleep but I don't want to start a new book. On top of everything, my eyeballs feel like dry balls of fire, except they are nice and juicy with tears. I think its allergies, unless I was sleep walking and decided I needed to smear something in my eyes. I don't think that's the case though..I'm just being dramatic.

I'll make a list of things that I need to do tomorrow.
1) Mail a bunch of packages via UPS and two via USPS.
2) stop at an eye glass place and have them replace the nose piece I lost. I have no idea how I lost it but its not comfy with one nose piece.
3) Stop at Jeans at noon for Chinese food and help decorate their Christmas tree.
4) Laundry...the electricity was going on and off today so I didn't get any loads completed.
5) Run the vacuum over the floor and the steps because they are gross and I don't think anyone else will do it. I guess its just gross by my standards.
6) Complete the rest of my Christmas cards....I'm almost done!
7) Go back to the store and buy two more pairs of the cashmere flannel pj bottoms...oh they are heaven and I live in them when I'm at the house.
8) Dig out my recipe for Puppy Chow for Katie
9) Go to the grocery store and pick up the ingredients for Katie's Puppy chow.
10) Make the puppy chow and try not to eat any of it....and by puppy chow, I don't mean dog food. It's a yummy treat with chocolate. I'll post the recipe and pictures if anyone is interested or hasn't heard of it.
11) Find the cord to my camera...the cord to my ipod....the charger to my camera...the charger to my ipod...so basically anything that needs a cord or a charger is missing right now. How annoying is that.
12) Post pics of the prizes that Darlene sent me...I soooo need to get those on the computer.
13) Crap, I have to get up early to take Sam and Brianna to school in the morning. I almost forgot...so that means I have about 3 hours to sleep before I have to do that.
14) Call and book my shuttle ride to the airport and my return for my Christmas vacation.
15) Call Michelle and see if she is free on the 21st.
16) Call Raine because have not heard her voice in a while.
17) Delete about 400 emails.
18) Start my list for my vacation packing.
19) buy some more make-up because mine is old and its time to restock.
20) Find a nice size metal washer for a scheme that I have cooked up.
21) Give up on the list and read a book instead or at the very least go back and correct all blog post typos when I'm actually away enough to notice them.

Night everyone!

Did you miss me?

lol, probably not. Fear not, I didn't fall on my head or sleep walk into the bay. I'm safe and sound, feeling much better after that nasty bug I had around Thanksgiving. So, what have I been up to? Well, I mailed the baby shower invitations...FINALLY. That is checked off my list. I have most of my shopping done. I have all of my Christmas cards addressed, now I just have to write out the cards and mail them. I have not touched a single craft project, nope...not one. Instead I started reading the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer Uh yeah...I'm totally not into vampires or anything even slightly spooky but of course this series isn't scary, its just a big old love story/saga with some vampires in it.In Cousins daughter loved the series more than the Harry Potter series, so I was tempted. When Cindy told me it was worth reading I decided to give it a whirl. I started out with the first book, Twilight. I was kind of annoyed through the book but it was a fast read so I thought, why not give the second book a chance. If it didn't get any better, I'd just stop there. Well, it got better. Then I had to go out and buy the next next two books. As of this morning, I had all four books read. Yeah...and I liked the third and fourth book more then the first two. Granted I have issues with some of the characters because I think they are dingbats but I just have to remind myself that it was written for young adults, so maybe she dumbed it down so they could follow it. Maybe I'm wrong. Either way, I'm a bit embarrassed to say, I liked the series and I read the whole saga since Thanksgiving. Ms. Meyer is writing the fifth book and you can bet your sweet butt that I'll be picking that up when its published.

This week I plan on posting a few times. I still have to share what Darlene sent me....(I'm grinning from ear to ear as I type.)
