Afterall Scarlett, Tomorrow is another day!

Ok, let’s hope today is better than the past two. I’m going to just go with the flow, and the “idiots” have been told about their incompetence so I guess I can only hope for the better right? Ok, now on to bigger and better ideas…this weekend, yep, its coming right around the corner, and my head again is a whirlwind with things I need to get done. I think H and I are going to split up the shopping tasks this Saturday since she still has to do shopping for me and well I need to get shopping done for the kids, so I’ll probably take one of them, and she’ll take the other and we’ll be off in a spree. Then I need to swing by the grocery store because we are going up to my cousins on Sunday, for our “Christmas” get together, yep, she finally agreed to do it, after missing a year or two I believe. Everything kinda went down the drain, after my grandmother and Aunt & Uncle moved to Colorado, and I hope that by rekindling this, we can bring the back the family get togethers. I mean my family isn’t the biggest but it is nice to get everyone together and of course “eat”. I’m making baked ziti and getting a rye bread bull and making dill dip to go with it, by cutting the interior of the bread out and putting the dip inside then using the remaining bread, and crackers and veggies for the dippin part. I’m going to prep everything the night before, then when we get their, I can cook the baked ziti since it will only take ½ in the oven. I know have to figure out what I’m making everyone in the office for Christmas, I can’t really say too much because I have 3 of the atty’s on my friend’s list and well, they will just blab blab blab, so it will be hush hush I think, if only in my head. Not to mention I need to start compiling stuff to bake, because I believe probably next Saturday I’ll do the baking thing which means more and more calories laying around in containers that I do not need, but I do love….  What happened to the days of me not working? Oh that’s right, reality set in!!!!

A post is a post is a post!

Well well, well, I finally remembered my password to get back into blogging, its been a year since my last post. Ugh.. oh well, no better time than the present to start again right? Well let’s see…Christmas is coming upon us so quickly, I’m still getting over Thanksgiving. I have so much stuff I need to get “present” wise its crazy. Not to mention budget the money to match what I need to get *sigh*. Oh well, its not like no one else is in the same boat as me….but we did make a lot of big purchases over Black Friday which one I am still recuperating over. We purchased an over the head microwave to add to our kitchen ensemble. Yep we have been slowly but surely buying new kitchen cabinets which albeit are now stored in the garage *insert frustrating growl here, as I will never have my garage back for my car*. Secondly we purchased another yep, get ready for the squeals, “DOG”! I know I know, I swore up and down I was not going to give in, but the fact that she is a lil dog is a plus, and that also she was born on the anniversary of us meeting was a plus as well. She is such a little fart, I can’t stand it, I feel like when I’m walking thru the house, I’m gonna step on a lil Scottish terrier body as she is underfoot, but it is just her way of saying, I love you mommy, and I’m going to follow you around forever!.. Work is still work, I get so depressed coming to work, and I think most of the depression lies with the drive. If I didn’t have such a long drive I don’t think it would be a problem, but it is, and I can’t seem to get over this hump. Heather got a promotion about 2 months ago, and she loves her new found glory, not to mention the pay is great but she works a lot of overtime which helps her pay accumulate. This is a good thing, we are still getting adjusted because she use to get paid weekly on Thursday, then the company switched it to weekly on Friday, then was switched to every other week, and now with her increase its every other week, but a larger amount, but it’s something I’m never sure what it will be. I have an idea in my head which I need it that way to keep me organized, and anything over that “idea” is a plus which I am rolling into the savings account, not to mention I’m repaying back the dog purchase, so I don’t feel so scatter brained. I’m going to be more on point at blogging, as it seems to open up my head a bit, even if it is just for a day!

Oh what a Blustery Day!

Well here it goes, another blog, another day. I use to have a blogspot years and years ago, but after a while I stopped posting on it, and now I forgot the password, etc. so I'm starting from scratch.

The Christmas season is now fastly approaching and my mind is a flurry with all the fun things I want to accomplish and get done to in time for Christmas. This weekend I am heading to the thrift stores for some cute old mason jars with the wire clasp/lid to use for my homemade gifts for the girls at work. I am tackling this year making homemade bath salts. My daughter, Maddie is helping tomorrow, as we are making some for her Teacher's gift. I also will be starting my holiday baking. This year we are making Chocolate chip (which are a given), a new recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies, Rice Krispie Treats, Snickerdoodles, and this year I am making Monkey Munch which I saw on Jon and Kate plus 8. So wish me luck, plus it looks extra yummy, so I’m all excited about it.

Last night was so windy I found myself constantly picking up my old sled, lighted trees, and wreath garland that we had strung outside the laundry room. Thank goodness the house was nice and warm so I quickly kept running back in and thawing out. Well I'm gonna get back to work now, as my desk is overflowing with legal papers, and I think I'm gonna slowly slide under my desk, maybe they wont notice me.
