Happy New Year!

I've tried all day to wrap up 2011!
I've had a fun filled week!
Christmas was great fun with V & S, and Ray's sisters family!




Here's the game playing children after supper!


V & S & I went to town to check out the Christmas lights!
This is the old hospital in town....fantastic!


My tree of course got lots of laughs!
"Don't touch the star!", was heard many times throughout the evening!
I put the tree up, the star was crooked, I straightened it out, the lights went out, fixed the lights, the star went out!
It was a vicious circle!
By the time I had everything working the star was crooked again, and I just thought 'Oh Well!'




I worked Tuesday, then Wednesday morning 2 GF's & I left for GP to work in the casino, for Friends of the Library!
The roads were terrible;  we got there in time to check into our rooms, and walk over to the casino for our shift!
We shopped til we dropped before and after our shifts at the casino, and yesterday morning before we came home!
AGAIN, in crappy weather!
I got free stuff at London Drugs!
Not my fault, I tried to tell the cashier!
I almost got free stuff at Michaels.....again, not my fault, the cashier was in lala land, and not listening!
And I got an extra 40% off my purchases at Sears......what can I say!?
She rang my stuff through, and I had signed the till slip, when she said, "OOPS"!
I said, 'You're not taking it back now!"
She said, "No I'm not."
She said, "Thank you."
I said, "No, Thank YOU!"

I went to work for 3 hours when we got back to town.
Cleaned the skylights off twice last night and,
 I tried really hard to stay awake until 10 pm!

I slept til 8:45 this morning, and am wondering if we ever get too old to Shop Til We Drop!?

I've got some BD cards made for SAS4K's.




A friend came over this morning to get me to e-mail pictures of bulls (as in cattle) to a buyer!

The nativity set is put away, I've put a few other things away, done laundry, put the new (cheap) duvet cover on the bed, put up a snowflake (cheap) shower curtain, cut tags off my new (cheap) bath mats & facecloths, put my crafty stuff away!

It was really hard to get into the first book; I'm now on the second and can't put them down!

Now I'm going to play in my room, and try to stay up to welcome in the New Year!

All the best to You & Yours for 2012!

Ta ta for now!

If you can't return a favor, pass it on.--Louise Brown

Merry Christmas everyone!
Just a quick note, cause I was so excited yesterday!
It actually started the day before, when my SU lady gave me this!


One of my stamp cases from the last order was squashed!
Look at all the ribbony goodness in what should've been an empty case!!

But wait............there's more!

Yesterday at work, one of my bosses tosses this package on my desk.
Then bugged me til I opened it!
Ya know yur a redneck when!


Yup, it's wrapped in duct tape!

So I started peeling it off, and about half way through, I said; "Is this really what's in the box, cause my kids do this and when I get excited they say, 'that's not what's in the box'"!


SERIOUSLY!!!!
That's what was in the box!
I'm gonna be smilin forever!
Kalen will be happy, cause it has a camera and we'll be able to chat face to face!
HA, there's even an icon that says "Face to Face'!!!!

Enjoy your Christmas with friends and loved ones!

One of Ray's sisters & her family are joining us tomorrow!
You know me!
The salad's made, cranberries/check, potatoes/check, stuffing/check, dessert will be made as soon as V gets here, and I'm working on pasta for supper tonight too!

Gotta go, gonna whip up a batch of poppycock!

Have a great Christmas everyone!

Ta ta for now!
