My husband and I are going out to dinner tonight and to pick up the few things I am missing on my gift list. I am not missing much, two stores out to do it.
I am really looking forward to it. We haven’t been out any where just the two of us in a while. Even if it is just shopping, it’s still time alone and time out of the house. 

It’s 7:30am and I am sneaking in a little computer time with my caffeine before I start my very busy day today.
It’s not like me to not find the time to blog or even return emails. I am sorry some of you have been a bit worried, there is no reason to be.
My life has just been crazy with work, the holidays, basement construction and a pregnant teenage daughter.
But on the brighter side, only one more work week left and I am on vacation for 10 days. I am so looking forward to the time off this year. So far my only real plan is for lots of R & R.

My horoscope for today tells me to “go out and buy yourself something lavish and unnecessary” .
He he he… maybe I should hit the mall on my way home today? Tell my husband I had no choice, it was in the stars.

I have bought two gifts so far and one is for myself.
I need to get with it, only 28 days left. I am such a slacker.

Hope your holiday is filled with good food, family, friends and lots of laughs!

Yay, it’s Friday!
I have a busy weekend planned this week. Tonight I am taking Allison and my nephew to our city’s Christmas parade, tomorrow Allison and I are spending the day at a pet expo and I promised my husband I would finish striping the wallpaper out of our bathroom and have it ready for paint on Sunday.

Like I said a busy weekend. You know what that means. In a blink of an eye it will be Monday morning and I’ll right back at work. Wondering how the time goes by so damn fast.

The past few days have been so busy I feel like I have been spinning.

I am so looking forward to our family pizza & movie night tonight. We are watching Cars, I haven’t seen it yet. But Allison told us last night during dinner that is sooo good and we are both going to love it.
Hmm… we’ll see if it makes our list for Santa.

Well, my day took a huge turn this afternoon.
I have just spent the last eight hours working around our house.
I cleaned out, sorted and moved around Allison’s bedroom. I bagged three or four bags of trash and I have six bags to drop off at the good will.
Man it feels good to get rid of clutter!

I even put her new The Dog bed set on her bed.

It seems to be Basset aproved.

The external world doesn’t have much to offer you—so just ignore it today.

That was my plan all along!

Besides cleaning up the back yard and taking Roxy for a walk, I think I am laying low today.

What is it about being home on a week day that makes me feel like a little kid?
Not wanting to shower or get dressed, laying on the couch watching bad TV, and why do I want to eat every thing in sight?
I thought I was going to get a lot of things done around here this morning before I head to the doctors office. Wrong!
All I have manage to work on is a bag of chips and some court TV.
Now if you will excuse me I think the judge is about to rule on some slime bag who took sexy photos of his girlfriend and posted them on flyer’s he handed out at the grocery store.
Humph, I live is such a boring white bread nighborhood, all I ever get handed to me at Farmer Jack is the occasional sale ad.

As if I needed another reason to love Dove,
this stuff is awesome.

Day seven, I still have this headache.
I think I need to see a doctor. Good thing I have tomorrow off.
