Happy Howlidays!
I hope this holiday season finds you smiling, laughing, and having lots of fun! I'll be smiling, laughing and having lots of fun after I finish my shopping, baking, cleaning, cooking, laundry, Christmas cards, and wrapping...all within in the next three days. Why, oh why did I wait until the last minute? This is all Matt's fault. His total procrastination has rubbed off on me over the past 21 years. I'm thinking my New Year's resolution will be to stop procrastinating...starting right now. So with that in mind...Happy Valentine's Day!

'Tis the Season (Almost)
People keep asking me the same question..."What do you want for Christmas?". I have a pretty simple list:
1. Peace on Earth.
2. Good will toward man.
3. Irresponsible, ill-equipped people to stop breeding.
That's about it. I'm pretty easy to shop for.
Before I can get into the Christmas mode, I have to recap our November adventures. Let's see...Keaton came home for a short Thanksgiving break and we celebrated Matt's birthday with a visit to Red Lobster and then some cherry cheesecake at home. I put 43 candles on top, lit them, and came pretty close to setting off the smoke alarm. We gave thanks like most Americans on Thanksgiving Day with good food and football. Cyrus was one happy dog with his breakfast plate of yummy people food. It was a great day to kick back and relax...for the guys while I made monkey bread, cheese fondue, and dinner with all the fixin's. It's a good thing I love to cook and try new things out in the kitchen (when I'm in the mood). I do have to say I made a fabulous sweet potato souffle that will now go on my yearly menu. Keaton went back to school on Friday and Matt did a little Black Friday shopping. I think he was a little disappointed this year after scouting the ads and didn't find anything to gear up for and battle in the wee hours of the morning.
We spent the weekend driving back and forth to Indiana for basketball games. The team split and we ran out of gas. Literally. Matt, being Matt, was hopeful he'd get gas cheaper in Indiana. I, on the other hand, am not as frugal and thought it would be better to actually pay a little extra to ensure we didn't run out of gas. So, long story short, we now have a souvenir gas can to always remind Matt why HE SHOULD ALWAYS LISTEN TO ME!!!
So, December is upon us and there are 24 shopping days left before Christmas. I hope Santa can bring at least one thing on my list. If not, I hope Santa remembers that diamonds are a girl's best friend. ;-)
