Now That Its Over...

Does everyone realize that Christmas is only 50 days away?? FIFTY DAYS AWAY!!

OMG. I've got so much to do! Last night I was actually contemplating baking all my gifts this year. Apparently I've lost all sense of reason, but I'm still thinking on it. Maybe I could do just 'some' of my gifts...not all? Whew! As much as I love to bake, I'm thinkin that would be a major project. AHHHHH

Annnnnyhoodle, I usually do all my holiday shopping online. Its fast (generally), and super convenient. Plus, there seems to be more variety online. I am known in my house as the "catalog queen". I get SO many in the mail; catalogs I've never heard of, but they usually have the COOLEST stuff! And...this is my first Christmas with Etsy. My plan is to purchase many presents from them. But this year I may have to brave the malls for a couple of items. Not a huge deal, but a major P-I-T-A!!! LOL

Sooo, how do y'all do your shopping? Just curious...

Money is also really tight this year. I'm sure I'm not the only one who resembles that remark. lol I just have to be smart with my purchases. Thats why I'm excited about buying from Etsy. Unique, handmade items are always a hit!!

And now, I bid you adieu. I hope you all have a glorious day! {miss you Laura ♥} Happy Hump Day to all!!

Love & Peace,

♫ Monday Monday ♫, So Mean To Me ♫

Good Morning!! And in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!

LOL

How was everyone's weekend?? Mine was wonderful, with the exception of one thing...
the time change. OY! That crap always gets to me. Always. It usually takes me a week to adjust. Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat.

Not too much excitement going on this week. Although, besides me getting back to my work table, I know how bad it is for your body, however....I'm starting my crash diet. AHHHH! With the holidays fast approaching, and all the yummy goodness yet to come, I decided it wouldn't hurt if I lost some weight.

Its always been hard for me to lose weight, unless I'm on some sort of program. But I'm not doing that this time. I'm doing this one myself. I'm using a couple of diets - working them together - and coming up with something that will work for me. I've got to test myself and see if I can do it. Believe it or not, when it comes to diet and exercise...I'm a very lazy person. Soooooooo, I'm gonna buckle down, be very strict and very good and hopefully lose some lbs before Thanksgiving and my hubby's company Christmas party. :/ And I may or may not update on my progress here on mah blog...it just depends. Usually, I don't want to be accountable to anyone when I'm dieting; maybe thats been my problem. We'll just have to see what happens. LOL ♥

During this "weight watching", I will most likely be back at my work table! Yay!!!!!!! I'm so excited to come up with some new things! I'm excited to load up my store for the holidays. Plus, being over there curbs my need to hunt for food. BAH!

Alrighty: Have a wonderful day everyone! We'll talk at ya later!
Love & Peace,

~*~ HAPPY SATURDAY ~*~

Happy NOVEMBER too!!
I can't believe its November already. Is it just me or has this year flown by? LOL

I trust everyone had a festive Halloween!?! We had FOUR, yes four trick or treaters. I couldn't believe it! I bought a ton of candy too; I always buy too much. One year we had so many kids we ran out, so I tend to buy too much just in case. But now...I have a huge bowl of candy left over. Whoot!!

Today I will be going to my SIL's new house to help her decorate and arrange furniture. It should be fun! (A little tidbit about me: I use to want to be an Interior Decorator) :o) She's got a gorgeous new house; a HUGE new house. I'm excited! She's got all new stuff as well. Must be nice! LOL But I'm happy for her...this is the first "house" she's ever owned and was able to go all out and get new "everything". A dream come true for her. :o)

So, I'm off to get ready. I hope everyone has a glorious day! Its beautiful here today...a clear crisp Fall day. Enjoy your Saturday everyone, wherever you are and whatever you do!

Love & Peace,
