Hub is catching up on sleep and payday!

December 8th, 2012 at 04:57 am

I worked a 5 hour day today. Ahhh.. it was nice to get off by 3- but I got home and the hub was sound asleep. It is going on 9pm...he is still sound asleep. I spent the afternoon catching up on laundry, wrapping gifts, made a big pot of black bean and chicken soup and visiting with DD3 and her friend's little one "ella" 18 months, who DD3 is babysitting tonight.

Today was payday- and it filled up all the fun buckets..food, entertainment, gasoline and allowance. Plus paid the bills due at the beginning of the month. I still had plenty of my allowance left in my wallet, so I deposited my December allowance in my savings account.

Tomorrow, DD1 is having an ornament exchange. We usually have one every year, but last year, things were too busy so it never happened. However, I had bought an ornament as saved it...so I wrapped it and its ready to go. I hot-glued baby pinecones to the wrapping, so it looks really cute. The ornament is from a company called Bronners...they sell some cute ornaments online. This one is a pink pig with high heels. I love whimsical ornaments.

Adding just a couple of free pinecones with some hot glue really makes a small present special:




Tomorrow night we have friends coming for dinner. They are bringing rib eye steaks..and we just have to supply the other fixings. I have potatoes and the works- so we will just need salad makings and bread.

Sunday we are planning to go with DD2, her kids, her ex- who is the grandbabies dad and we love, DD3 and her boyfriend..to the snow to get DD2's Christmas tree. I will also get some pine clippings to put in the house to help make the house smell wonderful. (I have an artificial tree) We will make a day of it. Bonfire, hot cocoa, kids playing in the snow, etc. Should be a great day! Sometime this weekend I hope to get out to my parents shed to get their Christmas decorations to divide out to the kids. They really want to add some of these to their collections. My parents loved Christmas, especially my mom..so she had lots of special ornaments.

DD3 got a Kindle from her boyfriend...he bought it at a pawn shop...(gotta love a 20 year old that knows how to shop for bargains!!!) However, the kindle broke, so I loaned her mine to take to Alaska. I can read books on my Ipad or pc, so hopefully this will work for both of us while she is gone.

So glad the weekend is here. It will be a busy one- but filled with fun, friends and family!!

    I live within driving distance of the Bronner store in Michigan. We always go at least once a year to visit. It is a wonderful place to shop and they have a huge building full of Christmas items, all lovely.
