So many things to talk about..

...and no pictures to go with it.

Yesterday was quite the eventful day. It started off with a flat tire. Apparently I had a screw stuck in my tire. Luckily the garage down the street from me could squeeze me in and the fixed it in no time.

Then My friend Debbie and I went to that craft show, lunch and a few other stops before heading back home. It was a really nice craft show with lots of crafters but it was so crowded and the prices were rather high. I did buy a couple things though.

When we got back to my house there was a woman who had been pulled over around the corner. I'm not sure what she did to get pulled over but it was obvious that it was a DUI stop. The cop went to handcuff her and she started to resist. It didn't take him much to get her under control though.

My tree still isn't up but I did do teeny tiny bit of decorating.

Today it's off to work and hopefully I can get a lot accomplished.

I've got to get busy

There are so many things I want to get done. I really do need to stop procrastinating and get busy. There are crafts that need to be made as well as a few handmade gifts. Then of course there is decorating and cookie baking. We're doing an ugly sweater contest at work at our Christmas party this year so I need to work on that too. That should be fun and I've got a couple ideas.

Then of course there are all the things I should be doing at work to get ready for Christmas. There will be lots of cookie baking there as well as other treats. You've got to have cakes too. These are some simple little cakes I made last week.

Marshmallows for his body, pretzel stick arms and an orange gumdrop sliced into a triangle shape for his carrot nose.  The eyes, mouth and buttons are piped on with black frosting.

Today the plan is to hit a craft show and then after that who knows.

Unexpected deals.

I love a good bargain but I love it even more when I get an unexpected one. Last weekend I decided that since I only have one pair of jeans that fit I was going to buy myself a new pair. I didn't want to spend a ton of money so I chose a pair of black jeans that were just under ten dollars.

When I went through the register as the cashier rang them up she said "OOH, only $3" I replied "Score"

It wasn't until I got home that I noticed the price tag on them.

Lagging behind

Everyone is talking about all the Christmas decorating they've done and yet again I'm seriously lagging behind. Years ago I used to drag the decorations out of storage Thanksgiving night and we would start. Now I just have a hard time getting myself to do any of it.

I don't have any of my decorations out yet but I did have some paper ornaments that I made a couple years ago sitting on my desk. Does that count for decorating?
