Just A Note To Say I am Still Alive... Kind of

Last night it snowed... oh yes is what I thought when I heard about it... no going out today... no visiting mom and dad.. .though that I miss... no going shopping or running around for things I should have done several weeks ago.. like picking up Christmas gifts for everyone on my list.. yesterday I took several hours went to several stores and actually got 9 gifts picked up... thought 4 of them were actually gift cards with a little something else... I really don't like doing the gift cards as long as I am able to get out and get something but this year has been the worst... for me... I have no idea what I can get for most people on the list... there has been a few that has actually mentioned something so I that is what I did yesterday ... got the easier ones first....

And what did I do today while I am kind of snowed in since I didn't even try to get out... actually I didn't even go clean the car off.. or clean the steps... yet... hmmmm I am not even sure where the shovels are... now that is a good excuse for not doing it... don't you think ...I played on the computer for a few hours getting good old farmville done (Oh I am so addicted to that one) and then tried with no luck to beat Yvette score on bejewel and that is when I said enough is enough I still have a dining room table that actually needs cleaning up well if I can get the rest of my crafts done... I got dressed in my house working clothes which is shorts, a t and a shirt with a pocket to carry my thumb tacks around... I have poked myself too many times with them in my pants pocket.. I have finally learned something.... got the entrance finished... the hall is almost there and after that the only thing that is left is going out and actually getting a Christmas tree for downstairs... ohhh yes I almost forgot picking up everything that is still hanging around... I can't believe it my house is actually going to get back to a semi-normal state before the 24th and through out all of this the Christmas music is blasting through the house...with the puppies close behind me as I travel through the house.. wondering what the heck I am doing...

Tuesday night while dad was at the eye doctor for his three month needles... mom and I made white sugar cookies... Yesterday morning while he was out once again for two other appointments .. nothing major guys... just a fitting for his socks for his legs and getting some medication renewed... mom and I got to ice and decorate the cookies.. though I had to keep reminding her that she already had them in the freezer and I was taking them home... I did leave a few behind since Dad was allowed them... well a few anyway...

Now I need a good Christmas movie or two to watch as I make Cherry Balls... since someone mentioned how much he really liked them and since I have two containers of cherries here since I cheated once again and when to the market last weekend and got scotch cakes for both mom and me I thought I would make these.. there is no baking involved ... just getting my hands a little dirty with icing..

Have a good one all... ohhhh yes Flo we are waiting for you to come home to decorate just in case Roger didn't tell you he he... I will help now that I am done here.... 3 more sleeps girl and you are home... I am sure I am not the only one that is counting the sleeps...

Have a great one all.. Joanne
