Yesterday I donated $20 to a coworkers Special Olympics fundraiser. She's participating in the "Polar Plunge" in February. I figure anyone passionate enough about their cause to jump into a freezing cold lake in the middle of winter, deserves at least that! Go Amber!
Chuck's daughter says to eat drink and bee merry because you might not be here Saturday!
I think that's as good as an excuse as any!
Christmas is ONE WEEK from today! I know there's news about a big winter storm coming but I bet it passes us by. :-(
This past weekend, my man finished installing his new cabinets in the garage. He's SO happy with all the new storage and that everything is out of sight. I like that part, out of sight. While I was helping him go through some bins, I found my Tickle Me Elmo. It's at leas a decade old. You won't believe this but the batteries still work! Seriously! He doesn't quite shake like he should when he's laughing but he still has that awesome giggle. I brought him in the house because Greta LOVES him! Really, I set him on the chair and she just sits there and looks at him. It's the funniest thing. I'll try and get a picture. She seems to be so curious about his laugh and how I make him do it. Pepper just runs away.
And today, the new cushion for the futon chair arrived. I received a notice that it's on our front porch right now. I convinced Bill to go back to the futon chair because it's the only piece of furniture we've had in the last 23 years that he hasn't totaled. I've never known someone to be so hard on furniture! He thinks everything else has just been 'poor' quality but I'm telling you, even a tank could be destroyed by my husband!
Also this past weekend, Mom and I worked up our Christmas menu. We're already planning on too much food. Usually on Christmas Eve we have pizza. This year we're having the food we're not having on Christmas Day because there are so many yummy things we want to make. Like Lil' Smokies wrapped in bacon. mmmmmmm! And Swiss cheese potatoes! And mini apple turnovers. OMG I can hardly wait!!
