Hooray for getting half of our windows in today! The upstairs will be done tomorrow morning, which means my missing church;-(
Got up at the crack of dawn because we did not know what time they were coming. Sat in the living room for hours trying to keep out of their way and keep Deacon occupied. Finally succumbed and ate our lunch in front of them. Our bad. But what are you supposed to do when someone is working in your house? What is the proper ettiquette? Adrienne?
We offered them a soda, which they denied. What else is expected of us? Should we ignore them and just go about our day?
Well, now we need to find something for dinner and pick up some blinds that we can FINALLY put on the windows!! Yay!! I’m so tired of walking around feeling like everyone can see through our windows.
The promise of more pictures to come!!
Later all;-)
I did not let Black Friday suck me in.
Until the afternoon, of course;-)
We (The aunt & uncle and I) went out this afternoon to do a little shopping. We missed out on all the BIG sales, but we also avoided most of the craziness.
My big purchase of the day?
My new LG Envy 3!
(See previous post for intense desire to own this phone)
I love it!
I just took a zip in my four-of-a-kind.
Not too much else exciting out there in sale land. Sleeping in was the better option;-)
Tomorrow holds the promise of new windows!!
Goodnight all!
I’m not going to stay on here long today. It is Thanksgiving after all;-)
I just want to wish all of my readers a Very Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your day and remember to be thankful for all that you have been blessed with. I think that no matter what life has thrown at us, we always have something to be grateful for.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Busy day.
Errands run.
So much of that was driving.
But, picked up a few needed things. Grabbed the last of my pie-making ingredients and even managed to snag a Christmas present whilst out and about!
And, I’m so very happy to announce that the pies are done for the night! Eureka!
I’m always and forever making my pies into the wee hours of the night, but I guess since there was no cooking this year, the baking got done earlier. Yay!! Now I can relax for a few hours!
I made the ever-and-always requested demanded French Silk Pie and a Banana Creme. The apple, cherry and pumpkin are being covered by other lovely family members;-)
My cell phone decided to drive me mad today what with it’s shutting off randomly for no apparent reason whilst I’m attempting to text. Seriously, THREE times today it did this! Ugh. Oh well, such is life. Other than this pesky annoyance, I do not mind my phone. Though, I do have my eye on the LG Envy 3. I might perhaps get me one of those someday;-)
Well, I’m thinking that we are going to watch a movie which is something we rarely seem to have time to do, so I’m going to enjoy it!
Happy Thanksgiving Eve All!
See you tomorrow!
I have a confession to make.
I’m not perfect.
Nor will I ever be.
I probably wasn’t fooling anyone though, was I?
So, why do I try?
Why do I put so much pressure on myself?
Why do I exhaust myself trying to always get every little thing right?
It’s an impossible goal. so why do I torture myself?
I don’t really think the rest of the world expects perfection from me, so why do I demand it of myself?
Why don’t I just chill out and take a load off?
Why can’t I relax a little and be a real person?
What am I afraid of?
Showing my flaws?
My imperfections?
Disappointing people?
Will being imperfect make me unlovable?
I need to work harder to NOT try so hard all the time.
Repeat after me:
It’s okay to fail.
It’s okay to fail.
It’s okay to fail.
It’s okay to fail.
Now, breathe and relax and be not-so-perfect-but-hopefully-still-lovable-you today!
Because this bears repeating!
Happy Slapsgiving!!
First of all…New Moon was awesome!!
Looooooooooovvvvveeeeeeee!
Second, I’m about to eat some Rice Krispie Treats. Oh yes I am.
Third, Adrienne has questions…(TYVM!)
I do wonder, but you don’t have to answer, how is your dad doing/dealing and how do you deal with that?
He is still having a very hard time. They say time heals all wounds, but that doesn’t seem to apply here. We talk all the time, my dad and I about how it doesn’t even feel real yet. We still can’t wrap our heads around this loss. How can you grieve and move on when you still can’t even believe someone is gone? It still feels fresh. He gets by, and definitely does better when he is distracted. He has started dating someone, but I think it mainly fills the loneliness and that’s all.
Oh, and very importantly, do you ever get so anxious to taste what you are cooking that you burn the h-e-double hockey sticks right out of your tongue?!
Of course! Especially, when it’s something of a chocolate nature!! 
Thanks to Adrienne for the questions!!
Anyone else?
No offense my friends, but y’all are slackers, seriously!
Where are all the bloggers? Commenters? Participators?
Bah! On all of you!
Well, I’ve decided to post early today because I keep coming in around 11:00pm, so exhausted, I barely have it in me to type. I also almost keep forgetting to blog daily! Is NaBloPoMo over yet?
Anyway…a few errands to run today and then New Moon tonight!
I really have not much else to say.
I know, this is getting boring.
My offer still stands…Ask me anything*
With that, I am off to shower and head out for the aforementioned errand running. See y’all tomorrow!
*This is a limited time offer. Certain restrictions apply.

Day!
Lots of giving and receiving, a little bit of pillaging and tons of seeing really cool people.
Finally got my Christmas stuff here!
And, another ceiling fan up!
Also, One Act plays tonight starring our niece! Like last year, each class (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior) put on a One Act Play for our enjoyment. This year, I’m proud to say the Sophomores (our nieces class) won the award for best play. Well deserved, I assure you!!
Finally home and oh so exhausted.
Sleeping in tomorrow!!
Somewhat productive day.
Ran some errands I’d been meaning to run.
Did some grocery shopping.
Picked up two Christmas presents!!
Got the house a bit more organized.
All while still managing to sleep in this morning AND hang out with friends of awe this evening!
Win!
