Lots done, still more to do

Yesterday my sister and I were up early and in line before 4 a.m., ready to hit the stores! We shopped for over 5 hours until we called it quits. I got just about all of the Christmas shopping done, only lacking a few people. I thought I would come home and put up all my decorations, but I was really wanting a nap. So after vegging out on the couch for half of the day, I finally got the energy to put up all the decorations. Now that they're up, our house looks festive, and I get to enjoy them that much longer. Today, I went with my sister-in-laws and their kiddos to Disney on Ice. Very fun! It was my first year to experience the show and it's something I'd like to do when I have kids of my own. I'm going to continue the festivities by seeing Four Christmases tonight with one of my girlfriends. I'm really enjoying this long weekend, better get back to it...

Christmas movies

Tonight I went to the Sam's Club because I had to get some new tires. My old ones were ready to be tossed. While I waited, I did a little Christmas shopping and got a few people off the list. I came home, made some cornbread and a big pot of chili. It was delicious. To top it off, I turned on the TV and began watching a Christmas movie on ABC Family. I'm warm and cozy and enjoying this season. Oh and did I mention that I took the day off? Now I only have 2 work days left then Thanksgiving is here! I'm so excited about the holidays and can't wait until Christmas!

It's late

Andrew and I went to On the Border tonight for a mini date. It was so nice. We had so much fun and just talked each other's ears off. I really enjoy catching up with him. I didn't appreciate all the time we used to spend together until now. He's my bestfriend so being without him at times really makes it hard. Anywho, we came home (after making a slurpie run to QT) and watched Transformers. It was good. Now we're watching something else on tv...I'm not really paying too much attention. I just wanted to say how good of a time I had tonight, and how I'll never take nights like this for granted. Just having him beside me is a gift of it's own.

Christmas is 34 days away

Thanksgiving is not even here yet, and I'm already counting down until Christmas. I'm ready to watch countless of Christmas movies, sit by the fire, drink hot chocolate and stare at the colorful lights on my Christmas tree. I'm actually looking forward to all the Christmas shopping I have to do this year and seeing Santas ring that bell for the Salvation Army. I can't wait for it all!
