I'm sitting here with a fire going, my first cup of Christmas creamer coffee hot and steamy goodness in front of me and Christmas music on the t.v holiday channel.
I feel like I should be wrapping gifts. Maybe I should get a jump-start and just tell everyone this year Christmas is themed and the theme is free or found around the house. I could give my mom a nice desk lamp, my sister a colorful set of plastic summertime outdoor wine glasses and my other sister a set of lovely gently used cookbooks and three or forty crochet dishrags. I could give 6 some work boots that I already know fit him perfectly, some nice wool socks and a pair of genuine leather work gloves. I could give Wyatt some scissors and printer paper for art projects and eighteen bazillion Bionicles. And I could give Wendy what's left of a can of hairspray I've had for four years (she is in the beauty industry now you know) an almost new tray of coordinating eye shadows and a box of panty liners. {I want to make sure and keep her gifts personal and not give her anything that her douchebag boyfriend could use or enjoy}
I totally feel like I'm on to something here.
Remember this picture...
How handy is that, my Dad is already wrapped!
I'll re-gift him to myself. He's like the gift that keeps on giving because he's made me happy since the day we met and it doesn't even matter if he's in a box now, just thinking about him makes me smile :)
Well. That's a good feeling, having the holidays knocked out before the stupid seasonal commercials start screaming at me that I need to get up and get out and spendspendspend!
No segway.
Last night I made PW's skinny pork chops.
~PW's Photo~
I can't use my own photo because they aren't on a plate long enough to photograph.
Ummm... They are SO simple and SO deeelicous, they are simply deeelicious.
I swear these will become you very most favorite quicky cheapo dinner.
Mouthwateringly deeelicious.
Did I say how good they are?
Very good.
Ok, I have a rug to finish and I should probably get busy putting up the tree.
See you tomorrow, Merry Christmas!
*runs madly waving hands in air* GAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, as always, for the smile that I needed today. Put you can keep your pork chops. Not a big fan of the pork. Just ask the husband...
ReplyDeletePork is kind of hard for me too... With Pearl in the pasture and all.
ReplyDeleteHey!
Wheres Judy?
Don't be scared... I have all kinds of great holiday time saving ideas!
ReplyDeleteJudy my mom?! Otherwise known as your biggest fan?! :)
ReplyDeleteUm yes, my best friend Judy... I haven't seen her for awhile.
ReplyDeleteWhy...oh Why did you have to go and freak me out?
ReplyDeleteIt's my job :)
ReplyDeleteBut.... What about Thanksgiving?
ReplyDeleteDon't forget about Thanksgiving :o(
GoldenChild was all "Are you going to decorate for Christmas soon?" yesterday.
ReplyDelete*sigh*
Can't get out of it even when they've gone away to university, apparently.
Who knew?
