::blows on mic:: Is this thing on?
Well, HELLO there, readership!
I figured I should, y’know, pop in and post something of actual content here on the ol’ blog. It’s been awhile. I know. I’ll do a quick bulleted list.
- Thanksgiving was delightful. My sister came over the night before and we drank wine, watched TV, made pumpkin pie, and had some nice sister-time. That’s really at the top of my “I’m Thankful For…” list: my sister being back in my life.
- The big twins are going on a field trip to the museum soon. I don’t think they even realize this yet, but I do, and I’m SO EXCITED FOR THEM! I remember being a little kid, growing up in Denver, and taking the annual field trip to the Museum of Natural History. (Now it’s called the Museum of Nature and Science. I have no idea why they changed the perfectly fine name, but they did.) My kids will be thrilled about riding the school bus across town. I always hated that part, since I rode the bus over an hour each way to and from school. My kids aren’t growing up in the age of mandatory bussing, so it’s still a novelty to them. Bring on the dinosaur bones!
- We’re coming up on ONE YEAR in our new house. I guess after December 27th, I won’t be able to call it The New House anymore. It’s been fun celebrating all our first holidays here. Now that I’ve got Thanksgiving under my belt (went off without a hitch, except I never did find my turkey platter) I’m ready for Christmas. Bring it on! I’ve already got my tree up, and we’ve got the house decorated with brand new LED lights. I think it’s safe to say that while we may not have the most lights up, our house is definitely the BRIGHTEST on the block! Those LEDs are kind of crazy bright, aren’t they? I love it.
- Speaking of Christmas, I went out on Thursday morning (at 10 am, not 3 am!) to Christmas shop at Walmart. Scored a few good deals, I did. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to embrace the notion of leaving my bed in the middle of the night to stand in line out in the cold with a bunch of strangers so I can save a few bucks. But hey, whatever works for you.
I’ve already wasted half my morning dicking around on Facebook and trying to figure out my new Electric Cookiepress. I guess I’d better embrace MONDAY and get my shopping list made. Have a wonderful day!
