Some December This and That's....
It's back....yes, my insomnia has made a roaring re-entry....after 2 hours of restlessness I finally decide to get up and do something, which is exactly what you are not suppose to do....yup, that's me...rule breaker....
Not a fan of Windows 8.....helping to install a new PC and my patience with this new MS offering goes out the window (no pun intended)....no surprise Apple is rockin the world.....
Devastated over the horror of Sandy Hook Elementary and those innocents who paid the price of a sick individual....God Bless those teachers and administrators who saved so many lives....sick of CCN turning this into a gun control issue....yes, discussions should be made on many fronts, but don't disrespect the honor of these fallen victims for your liberal press reporting.
So happy I could go see my sweet Angel Friend Janice last week. We have known and worked together for over 20 years! She has some health challenges and she knows she is always in my heart and prayers, even tho I don't get to visit as much as I want. She is my sister friend. Loved that Annette could go with me also! You can't see on this photo but there are 3 cups of coffee spilled on my sweater....I was one sticky mess.
My precious boys and their Santa photo 2012.....no other words necessary....
Our Christmas photo for 2012....hard to see that the boys have us all tied up in a string of Christmas lights....my brothers beautiful backyard is our backdrop....4 dogs with us in pic...
48 hours away from our huge Christmas party hosted here and this is what my kitchen looks like.....
2 months ago we hired a guy to install a glass backsplash....he kept delaying and delaying and finally Steve hired another guy who came last night to install and had the wrong saw :( he is suppose to come back tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. to complete the job (don't hold your breath)
I had my Christmas letters and cards all ready to go and on the table.....Steve accidently spilled a bottle of water and soaked the letters....so they had to be reprinted which means I had to go find more Christmas stationary (not happy with second choice)....days later he printed them and corrected my Illinois abbreviation to say 'In All'.....I surrender to sending a letter with errors.....
Annette and I managed to spill 4 cups of Starbucks Peppermint Mocha Skinny.....3 I fell on, 1 she dropped....there must be a lesson in this I am not learning....
She's baaaaacccckkkk....yes Crazy furniture lady has once again visited me in my multiple personalities....I could not resist this beauty for $2.50! Of course, Steve has to paint it white and I will distress it...then move it into the guest room and then move a dresser from the guest room upstairs then sell my vintage dresser.....you get the drill....
Something possessed me to cook spaghetti squash again, after swearing off of it for the intense labor. I tried the microwave directions and it was a bit easier...still a lot of work.
Went to a nice brunch at a ladies house from church....yes, her lovely home has 12 bathrooms and I am not sure how many bedrooms, a private full court basketball court building, a guest house, a pool house and everything is perfection and in place....she is a wonderful person and so generous to share and host....just a few shots of her humble abode....she had 65 Santa's on display....this is part of the entry way....
Another shot of entry way with me in the mirror....wore my hair up, still have not made my Locks of Love appt....every day is busier than the rest....
Looking into her Living Room.....all done in golds...
Christmas village downstairs.....
Wine room has it's own Christmas tree....I told her this would be the perfect panic room....
She did a little alcove as a phone booth....it works!
Her Master Bathroom.....larger than my Master bedroom.....
Dressing area between the his and hers huge walk in closets....
Other side of the bathroom
She had this on her serving bar in her 'big' kitchen....this Santa was about 4' tall....so cute
Our weekly art project for Friday sleep over was making snowflakes.....simple however perfect....
Now GiGi....fold them really straight....
Just for you GiGi....no two alike!
Little Bro gets into the act....
For your fridge GiGi!
Gramps and Dylan read a bedtime story aka fishing lure magazine.....
I finished off my employee ornaments...for 17 years I have given my employees an ornament every year....this year they were ones I got in Prague and then I embellished them with red and green glass beads....did not photograph well...but blingy!
No wonder I have insomnia!
Looking forward to next week when The Addie, Shannie and crew roll in.
