This is our first photo as a family at Christmas....well, a good one anyway! Hubby didn't even flinch when I laid out his outfit this morning!!! He just knows better with me!
Ok, signing off......really!!!!

All the things....

That I shouldn't be doing but am....

Going OUT to lunch after church

Blogging
NOT going to the grocery store.

Hmmmmmm, I guess I'll be up into the wee hours tonight getting all the stuff I should be doing done....

Going to the grocery store
Making snacks for tomorrow night's Girl's group gathering
Making soup for our office potluck lunch tomorrow
Painting 3 plates, set of pilsners and one other gift...can't mention it just yet or she might know what it is if she reads this
Cleaning the bathroom
Figuring out something for dinner
Laundry...(remember I dont' do that, but it still needs to be done - will talk to hubby about that!)

Tag You're It!



The rules are simple.
1. Show the icon on your blog.
2. Tag people to partake in the fun times.
3. List 10 random things about yourself.


Ok, 10:


1. I'm not that exctited about Christmas just yet! Still have way too much to do and no time to do it!


2. I've had 1 cup of coffee, 3 diet dr. peppers, grande christmas blend at starbucks, and a homemade chocolate cupcake with peanut butter icing and I don't feel the least bit guilty! I'm gonna be in caffiene detox for a bit I'm positive!

3. I wear Britney Spears perfume and LOVE it - it was a gift!


4. I am so OCD, that I organize my pantry, cabinets, fridge, freezer ....you name it , with labels out, grouped with the same, etc....crazy I know.


5. I hardly ever leave the house without mascara on. EVEN if I haven't showered, going to the gym, or just dropping of Little Hauss at school!


6. I eat cold pizza for breakfast.


7. I hate feet. Don't like to look at them, touch them, or even have mine massaged.


8. I put garlic and onion in almost everything I cook....It makes it all taste better, I'm sure of it!


9. I don't watch the news, read the paper or like talking about current events. I rely on Hubby for most of that information.


10. I don't do laundry. SERIOUSLY!

THANKS POP!

It's a-m-a-z-i-n-g what you can get done without a 3 year old aka Little Hauss running around!!! My dad, POP, is in town on business, and graciously offered to take Little Hauss out to a healthy dinner (Denny's) so I could get something, anything done! Who really cares where they went....it wasn't here in my hair (and remember previous post about me slipping - he's lucky he got fed at all)!
I was soooooooo productive. I painted 2 plates, set of 4 pilsers, and an ornamet. This was all done in a matter of an hour and a half or so! Now, I think that leaves about 3 plates and some wine glasses! OH, and the wrapping. The wrapping is kind of low on my list of priorities. It WILL get done before Christmas, guaranteed!
Now, in the midst of all this painting, there was some cooking, with the help of Hubby of course. He did some prep work so all I did was add some spices and canned tomatoes to make some spaghetti sauce. AFTER all that hard work he didn't even eat it. He went back to sleep while he had the chance. I really don't blame him!!! REMEMBER, no Little Hauss!! At least he'll have something other than sandwiches to eat for dinner tonight!!!
Now, I did partake in a beer.....it helps me relax. Tis the Season!!! Lately though, there has been mention by a few people that maybe I don't need to drink a beer or glass of wine EVERY night. A few people being Hubby and maybe one other person. WELL, I like it and I'll do it. Normally I join the girls for the weekly happy hour and possibly some cocktails (very possibly) on the weekend, but as of late, happy hour isn't so much and I'm a little cranky, so I enjoy the occassional (daily) bevy to relax. MIND you, Hubby was telling me this realization he's had as he was trotting himself downstairs to fetch me a cold one!!! So sweet! I think he's just jealous that he can't join me. Ya know, because that work thing gets in the way!!! Hehe.

Side note: Very sorry to all who did read this post before this morning. I was in the middle of composing, and set the laptop down and walked away (um, note to self: don't leave laptop unattended with a 3 yr. old nearby) and when I came back, I just closed it so I could work on this later. Um, Yeah, apparently, he finished my post and then published it for me!!!

Happy Thursday!!!

AS PROMISED

Photos from the Concert! Little Big Town was AWESOME! Now, you can see just how good my seat was!!!!


LOVED Carrie Underwood!
Can't wait to see SugarLand next!

Slacker!

I'm done shopping!!! That is ALL I've accomplished. I still haven't worked much (aka - at all) on my projects. I'm pretty sure that I need to stop slacking and get moving on that because they are SOMEONE'S Christmas presents!!!! I just feel so worn out by the time Little Hauss goes to bed that I don't want to get all the supplies out and paint. Hopefully tonight will be better beacause Hubby is home to help! Might even persuade him to cook dinner and do bath time!

I've been told a few times in the last week that I'm slipping! By whom, you might ask? Hubby!! He woke up to get ready for work las night and went to get his dinner out of the fridge to take to work, and all I heard was, "Mac and Cheese?, Really?" with Salmon, no less!!!!! Well, Little Hauss wanted mac and cheese. I had salmon on the menu. I prepared it with a balsamic and honey dijon glaze! Sounds fancy right? Well, it kind of was. I LOVE to cook and usually have a whole meal planned with complimentary side dishes! I'm getting lazy! After this week, I PROMISE to cook a great meal - without "kid" food!!!! Ok, maybe next week, AFTER Christmas! At least he's not taking peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. He should be thanking me!!!!
