~ Yesterday I had a 3 HOUR nap...I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it was. And since I've nowhere to go today...I just might try for it again.
~ I have realized that I am getting close to my 100th post...and I just might have to do a giveaway for it. I also have to find that random number thingy that will choose the winner.
~ Christmas is just around the corner, which means that a small portion of our family will gather at my grandma's house like we do every year. And every year it's just about the same, no changes, nothing extravagant, we're all just kind of there. I would so love to shake it up a bit. Do something a little crazy, a little out of the ordinary. You know, like maybe do some gag gifts. Like for my brother for starters. I follow him on FB so I see the funny exchanges between him and his friends. I have seen lots of joking about him not having his own full bag of chips and his friends wouldn't share..and then telling him to get over it. And then there was the pic of him with a black eye that he got in a mosh pit at some concert. So...I'm thinking along with his normal gift, I will get him a first aid kit and one of those boxes of a variety of snack size chips. And let's see..for my grandma I might get her a sexy looking nightie. And my grandpa dresses very, well, I guess I don't know the term I may be searching for...just jeans and button up western style shirts and semi-dress shoes. I'm thinking I could get him a comical shirt...kinda like a shirt I bought for my husband...it's got a pickup truck with a donkey in the back of it and it's got dust kicking up behind the truck and the shirt says "Haulin..."...you know, haulin a$$. That should shake up our blase routine.
~ You know where I would like to be spending this Thanksgiving? That would be in Greer, AZ. Beautiful. If you don't know what it's like there...search it on the internet...it's worth it. More specifically Greer Lodge Cabins. We've stayed in one of the cabins one time and it was wonderful. We've been to Greer just to go ice fishing too, and that was really fun also....at least once I got past the fear of falling through the ice. I think I spent more time playing with the worms than catching any fish.
~ We (my husband really) did some painting the other day. We painted one wall in our room and painted our sons room. The girls' rooms will be painted this coming weekend. It's actually part of their Christmas...but they are getting it early..really early!

Were you napping while your husband was painting?! A nap...sigh...wonderful! The rooms look great!
ReplyDeleteI love before and after pics! :)
ReplyDeleteRooms look great! Get somebody a whoopi cushion if you're gonna do gag gifts, cuz those things rock.
I love Shortmama's shirt idea. Do they make those? If not thet really should.
ReplyDeleteUm, did you seriously take a 3 hour nap. I've got NOTHING nice to say about that other than I am seriously jealous! I dig the grey color in Jayce's room. Grounded in your own room cracked me up!
