and all through the house, not a creature was stirring….at least not a mouse LOL Now there’s a big brother camped out on the sofa, and I’m sitting here waiting on the dryer to finish so I can take the load of towels upstairs and put them away! LOL
The girls headed to bed early – 9:30pm – and haven’t been heard or seen since, and I got all the presents out about an hour ago and nicely placed under the tree, stockings are now stuffed, I’ve got my stuffing made and out in the cold room, I’ll bake it tomorrow, and the only thing left to do is make my gingerbread, but that can wait until tomorrow too. Christmas turkey is at Kevin and Tracy’s this year, so we’ll all be piled into their place at supper time 
Today was a hectic, running around with my head cut off, buying last minute gifts kinda day…I always say I’m not going to end up having a Christmas Eve day like that, but I always do. I ended my day in town at the bar having a beer with a few friends, then we headed to Tracy’s Mom and Dad’s for supper, back home for a few, then I went and did some visiting at Mark and Crystal’s for a bit (was a quiet evening up there, just the 3 of us, plus Emily and Clara, their girls.) After that I just had one place to go deliver some gifts to, then it was home with my kiddos and getting stuff ready.
And ready we are – so Merry Christmas everyone! I hope Santa finds you and all your Christmas wishes come true!
sorry…no really, sorry. This place is sorely lacking in updating I realize…the last few months just haven’t been blog worthy I guess. So let’s see – what’s new???
Well both Alyssa and I have new glasses – my first new pair in almost 4 years I think – I tried bifocals (no wait…the new non old sounding name is progressive lenses lol) and let me tell you – they SUCKED!!!!! LOL Hated them, tried them for a week and I still hated them…so back they went and were replaced with new regular lenses. And pretty new frames. I was nicely reimbursed $330 for the switch…and the next day we ordered Alyssa’s new frames and lenses – to the tune of $340. Hmmmm. Easy come, easy go apparently. ha!
Also had another showing on the house last week…thankfully I had 24 hours notice on the showing the girls and I busted our butts and got the entire house completely decorated – Christmas tree and all – whoever was here apparently at least liked our efforts
Speaking of Christmas – probably 50% ready at this point – I’m done shopping for Alyssa, but barely started Megan. Ugh. And I really must get the gifts bought for the away family, and get that all in the mail soon. Christmas cards were done and mailed weeks ago tho – one thing I don’t have to worry about. And in exciting news, my big brother Peter will be home for Christmas! I guess this is the year for the wayward family to come home to see us all! LOL
And as usual, nothing new on the home buying front for me either…a house just came on the market up in Milton which I think if I went to see I might like…it as potential – but it would end up costing me more then I really want to spend. *sigh* I’m getting frustrated at this honestly. Anyway…there’s a rather boring update
