Seasons Greetings!

oh. Ma. Gawd.....

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.

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!
