Sorry it has been forever since I last wrote – I have been so incredibly busy as I am sure all of you are as well! Well I am happy to say that I have finished most of my Christmas shopping and if I don’t physically have it, I at least have an idea or gift in mind…this is big for me, I am unfortunately that person who has the best intentions but then leaves everything to the last minute and has to pay just as much as the gift for the expedited shipping…maybe that should be one of my new years resolutions – stop delaying! Have not really been able to get into the Christmas spirit so I treated myself to a pedicure and had them paint a snowman on my big toes – that should channel some positive energy…Growing up you should have seen how crazy my dad was about wrapping gifts – we were only allowed to use 3 pieces of tape, one for each corner and the one in the middle – do you know how insanely hard that is yet still to this day I smile every time I make it with just 3 pieces..one year my brother in law wrapped his gift for my dad and proceeded to tape the entire outside of the box..hysterical – sorry Dad but it’s a little nuts! I have so many funny stories about the way we load our dishwasher, unload our dishwasher, use dental floss and don’t even get me started on the toilet paper situation- Dad was in the Army so we never wasted…anything – actually it is a great trait, one I hope to share with my kids some day.
So last minute temp-tations add to the calendar – very excited – 12/21 at 10am with Jill – should be great and the best part – you will receive everything you order that day by Christmas – lots of great items in that show. After that hoping things will ease up a bit and I will get some quality family time – really need that right now – mom and I are working on a cookbook together, its going to be great!
This will probably be my last post for a bit but I wanted to say thank you for a wonderful year and for all of your support – I have some wonderful things to share with you in 2010 and as you welcome in that year, may it be filled with all the love your heart can hold. Blessings to you and your beautiful families…
