Baby it's COLD outside!

Yeah, I know what you're saying up there - "Cold? You don't have a clue woman!" but ya know what? I actually do, I lived in North Dakota for four years and leaned just what cold really means. The next statement is "THAT is why I live in FLORIDA people!" When it gets below 80 here it is cold and for it to be in the 20's? I don't want to leave my house! But I must come in to work - so out I go. BBRRRR


lol

We have family in upstate New York and they are teasing us because I am a wimp...I don't like cold, I never have and I never will. Fortunately there are only a handful of really cold days, so I'm in a pretty good place. Not everyone can say that. (I like hurricanes too lol)

there is no real point to this post ya know, I just wanted to post something. lol

Once again, you could win this

but I hope you don't - cuz I want to win! lol

Win This

I get extra entries for blogging about it, so I want extra entries! If you want to try and win, go there and try, but please don't win. lol No I'm just kidding, I wish you luck, I really do.

You could win this

But to be honest I hope you don't, cuz that would mean that I didn't - and I WANT IT!!! I have been looking at these for a while now and almost bought myself one for Christmas, but I held myself in check. Why? Because at this point I could not justify spending this kind of money on just me, and not something that Trav could use too. So if I could win it...that would be too kewl! There is one in the downstairs breakroom where I work and I love how easy and consistant it is to use, and it makes an excellent cup of coffee! Anyway, I get 5 extra entries by blogging about it, so I am. Thanks all

Christmas Mini Album

This is a really neat post, you need to go check it out...you most probably will enjoy working along with her on this one, I know I am going to... Christmas Mini Album

I am absolutely positively NOT ready for this holiday! No matter what I do I cannot seem to get time to go into the craft room and get some real work done! I'm STRESSING HERE!!! sigh, thanks, I needed to vent. ;o)

Long weekend

ain't it great? I love long weekends..I love December...loads of days off and good food everywhere you look...hmm that doesn't really go good for the diet (that I've been off of for months), but still...long weekends. Enjoy yours!

Happy Thanksgiving

Well? did you have a great Thanksgiving? Did you eat till your feet fell off? Were you too stuffed to go shopping yesterday? I HOPE SO!!! I know we had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We have everything we could ever hope for and then some. We are SO blessed that we cannot even begin to express our Gratitude to the Lord in his generosity. And we still want MORE!! I guess that is the nature of the beast, no matter what we have, there is always going to be something else to strive for (nice way to express greed, isn't it?)
We had dinner with Trav's family, at his sisters house, and you should have seen that table! It was incredibly beautiful, she did a Splendid job on the decorations and place settings. And she MADE THEM!! Her talent is awesome. It didn't stop there, the turkey could have been featured in Martha's magazine...it was beautiful, perfectly browned and sitting there like a beauty queen just waiting to be crowned. The really good part about that is how good it tasted! Then there was the bread that the soon to be family member made, sour dough from brand new starter, so not too sour yet, with some flavorings mixed to give it added Umph! Then there were two types of squash made by her fiance, not bad for a food I hate! Next came the home made creamed corn and brushsetta and mashed potatoes that we brought, pretty good, if I do say so myself. The sweet potatoes that his mom made were definitely up to her usual standards, even if she did make them in the slow cooker for the first time ever, yum! And of course we mustn't forget the pies! His other sister made 3 kinds, pumpkin, mincemeat and a pink confection that I can't for the life of me name right now, but they were all delicious. Then his niece's chocolate, pecan, cheesecake conglomerate, that was rather unusual, but beautiful and tasty. Over all, there wasn't anything we could have added to that meal to make it any better then it already was. And we all ate til we were as stuffed as that turkey had been. Thank you to each of you for your hard work in making that a success! And also a big Thank you to A & J for sharing your home with us as well as feeding us, we enjoyed ourselves. The family time aside from the meal was enjoyed as well, great day all around. As I said earlier, WE ARE BLESSED. Thank you God for all your gifts, but most especially for your gift of family, whether born to, or adopted to, or married to, there is nothing more wonderful then this.

Halloween is Coming!!

This is really my favorite holiday...Christmas is next - as a holiday - but 10-31 is my best. I get to be what ever or who ever my little brain can dream up and I get to dress up. There are people who know me well who have not recognized me in costume! I count this as a success. I won all but one year at work (that means 4 out of 5 lol) for best costume and if you check back to last year you will have to laugh at me...I had SO much fun.

Right now we are not sure about all the details, but I have a couple people at work who are going to help out...we will be dead this time...and Vicki and I are getting married with a flower girl, a best man and a maid of honor, so far - going for my fitting tonight, as a matter of fact - lol! I'll let you know more as the plans develop.

Tata for now!

The Secret is in the Sauce

Hop on over there and have a look

Told you he wanted a bigger one!

so what do you think we did Saturday? we went and looked at another boat! this one is a 12" jon boat with a trolling motor. nice boat, nice price, he bought it! so, guess what we did Sunday? yep you got it, took the new boat out, on the Waccasassa river for a couple of hours. It was nice and relaxing, as this pic shows lol





I don't blame him tho, the pedal boat is nice, but it's really kinda small and there isn't any place to put stuff...and while this is also a small boat, it is more open and there is room to move around - not so confining. So I think he will be content with this one for a couple of months...hopefully. After that, we'll see.

Hope you had a nice weekend too.

Later...
