Christmas Catch-Up

This was my FAVORITE thing this past Christmas. I heard my team leader at work talking about it, and went straight home to make for Andrea's Christmas party. I bought pre-made sugar cookies. The ones at our grocery store (H.E.B.) are really good. melted milk chocolate. Dipped, drizzled, dunk the cookies in the chocolate. Use crushed up candy canes to sprinkle on top. DELICIOUS!!! And, so pretty. I have to give credit to P-Dub because he's the one that actually made them....

Christmas ornaments I made for my team at work.

I've been wanting a white tree with fun, super bright ornaments for a while. It's what I like to call my "Dr. Suess Tree". Well, I finally got it. It was sooooo freakin' cute and happy and fun. Can't wait to have a house with multiple trees!

Mo Mo joined our family a couple of months before Christmas, so I had to make him a stocking, too. He got black & white...because that's what he is. Look closely...P-Dub was real funny when he said I've gotten much better and writing names since the Christmas before. Poor Black Hawk and Apache's stockings look terrible!

Christmas flowers! Thank you, P-Dub!

I LOVE wrapping presents and getting creative with bows.

Happy Freakin' New Year

Written January 1, 2021, when I tried to start a Wordpress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. 2020 and I had a love/hate relationship. I hated seeing what was happening to others and the world. I dealt with my fair share of struggles, but mostly, I think I was the closest to contentment that I've ever been. 1. I LOVED working from home MOMO working from home 2. I felt closer to my family 3. I didn't mind the slower pace and less to do 4. I was able to have a better work/life balance 5. I felt more productive at home and at work 6. I did a couple of home projects - helped my parents landscape my front yard, gave my bedroom a makeover with my sister, and reorganized my pantry with her Before After Pantry Makeover Bedroom Makeover 7. I spent the best summer with my son and dogs at my sister'shouse - laughing, crying, painting rocks, getting to know my fur nieces and nephews (Wall-E, Maggie, Leeloo, and funny, little, Peyton who we lost in...

FYI

Just so you know...my computer is sitting here, on the floor, next to me...at my parent's house!!! Woo Hoo! I've taken the first step in getting it fixed...but alas, there it sits...I'm not the only slacker in the family! Also, I turn 30 in less than 20 days...

End of Summer

Who knew that at 28 years of age I would be writing a post about how I spent my summer. Don't people usually stop talking about their summers after a certain age? Say like, 22? It probably wouldn't be such a big deal to me if I wasn't still a student who doesn't haven't to have a "career" year round. Well, here it is . . . the end of summer. I go back to work on Monday, and school starts on Wednesday. My days of sleeping in, going out, etc are over. I still get every weekend off when Gabby goes to her dad's, but we'll still be a lot more "scheduled" around here. End of summers when I was younger always felt weird because you were sad about the summer being over, but a little excited about going back to school, shopping for school supplies and clothes, thinking about if there'd be a new cute guy in class, getting to see your friends everyday. I have a whole section in my memory that is filed under "Summer". It's my favori...
