What we've been up to....

Eating lots of pomanders! Seriously, my diet consisted solely of these goodies one day this week.
So worth it!
For the uninformed, these are goodies my family must have every year. They are basically melted chocolate chips, crushed vanilla wafers, crushed almonds, and almond extract all rolled up and topped with festive red & green colored sugar.
If you love almond flavoring, you will love this treat!


going into sugar comas.....mmmm.....powdered donut...

wearing festive dresses to church....

getting a random bouquet of flowers 'just because'....if you know my husband, you know what a shocker this one is...
Maybe there is one teeny, tiny, romantic bone is his body after all.

wearing festive dresses with jeans to get more wear out of them...there are only four Sundays in December, I have to get in all the holiday wear while I can....

hiding under the swing eating Nemo chapstick....


and last, but not least.....perpetuating the bad stereotype of women drivers...by running into grumpy old men with my car....just another day in the life!

Okay, it was really just a 'nudge' and he was fine.
Some advice: Don't stand in the panel where the back window and side window meet behind my car while I am backing out of a tiny Discount Tire parking lot, so you can watch your mini cooper in the bay and smoke your cigar. I might not see you and your Willie Nelson white hippie hair and think it is safe to back out......also, possibly invest in a hearing aid.

Lesson learned: the back end of my car is a hazardous zone and should be avoided by all long haired hippies!

I may choose to lose this moment in history so be warned that this portion of the post may disappear.
