It has been quite awhile since I have written. Busy doesn't even begin to describe my life lately, which is okay, but I have to say I am eager for things to slow down. After a full day of juggling orders and girlie's, I have decided to sit on the couch with the laptop. One child is about to fall asleep while the other is still doing her nightly exploring before she'll be ready for her last meal of the day.
The ol' hubby is working late. Normally I would complain but tonight I don't mind because the Dancing with the Stars Finale is on and I plan to watch the entire 2 hours. Yes, I am one of THOSE people. And I am not ashamed to say that I am 100% rooting for Rob Kardashian to win. No, I don't love the Kardashians and yes, I do really like J.R. and Ricki also, BUT since I started watching this show several seasons ago, I decided that those who begin the show knowing how to dance have an unfair advantage. If you score well the first episode, then I am not rooting for you. I have always liked the contestant that starts off shaky and turns into a pretty good dancer and that is exactly what Rob has done. That guy has proven himself and I have been a fan of his from the beginning. I'll go ahead and put my name under the Loser list after I admit that I EVEN voted for him the past two weeks. Go Rob!
Besides being on Team Rob Kardashian, I have 3 things I am admitting tonight.
#1. I Love My Christmas Decorations: I didn't go overboard but I am very happy with how things turned out. And I hardly spent a dime. In years past I have gone for the nontraditional Christmas colors - trying to match my home interior or picking deep colors instead of the bright festive Christmas palate. This year I went for traditional reds and greens. My mantel is awesome, my tree is perfect, and my little shelves round everything out. We are staying home for Christmas this year now that Addy is old enough to understand about Santa. We want to have our own Christmas traditions that the girls will always remember and we thought being at home was the best way to do that! It will be different this year but I am really looking forward to it!
#2. Dinner Sucked Tonight: We are going to Pitt for Thanksgiving so I decided I wasn't going to do much cooking this week to avoid a bunch of leftovers in our fridge all weekend. I ran to the store today and decided I would just buy a couple bags of those frozen Chinese dinners. I went for the cheaper brands and really shouldn't have. First of all "Meal for 2" SHOULD NOT be written on the bag. If Addy and I hardly had leftovers then clearly they have a misprint. It was gross and I will be referring Garrett to a fast food restaurant on his way home tonight. I guess that's why I make real dinners during the week. Frozen is quicker but not better.
#3 I'm Addicted to Online Shopping: I have started my Christmas shopping and I have yet to set foot in a store. And I have to say I'd be okay with all my gifts greeting me at my doorstep. You can't beat the "Free Shipping" deals and half the time the product is marked down as well. I can browse, compare brands, read reviews and shop for several people at once without leaving my couch. With 2 small kiddos it's the way to go!
Alright 5 minutes until showtime!
Sincerely Yours,
