I am up and atom, sort of ..it's 8:20 Saturday morning, and I am not even dressed. I have been visiting the emails, facebook, and now the blogs...
We had our weight loss group yesterday, my little sister is the only person who lost weight, and the rest of us all added to our lovely figures...lol...good thing we check in so we are at least aware of what we are doing, not that I am doing fabulous, but it might help me not gain too much back.
I didn't get much done yesterday, we went through the cargo container, our version of a storage room, and looked for the missing Christmas items...and we found most of them, and a bunch of other stuff to look through. I have a bunch of cow figurines and frogs that I have collected through the years that I will be listing on Craigs list soon. I figure that is better than my poor family inheriting the worry. Back to Christmas, I apparently have lost several things, like my Grandmother crocheted me a tree skirt...it's missing, we have ornaments that have vanished off the face of the earth.
Then, of course, I was so on the ball that last year, as in 2007 I knew I had my day group bunko at my house for Christmas, and so I went to "Cracker Barell" for lunch with family and friends and I found the cutest Christmas mugs for like 75 cents a piece and thought these will be the perfect parting gift...yes, you are right they have dissapeared out of the cargo container also. I thought I was so clever, I marked the box, 2008 Christmas bunko prizes...and now - poof- they are gone...that means I get to go shopping and well, how will I ever find a cool deal like that now....sad isn't it.
I still am working on decorating, I have piles on my counter, on my table, on the floor, in my room....ahhhhhhhhhh! The mess is HUGE...so I guess I should get busy...it's just hard to look at without getting overwhelmed.....alas this is Christmas....(sounds like a song) Anyway, it will be great when it is done...so here I go...I will let you know if I ever finish...
