I really can't say I'm excited about Christmas this year. Not that I get totally ecstatic about Christmas any year....BUT, this will be my first Christmas morning without kids (well, prior to having children). The soon-to-be-ex will be getting them Christmas Eve. And, I honestly can say, this doesn't really bother me at all. The thought of being able to sleep in on Christmas morning is absolutely bliss.....

I just can't get into the holiday buying. My girls tend to get A LOT of gifts! I mean, A LOT!! Not from me (or previously "us"), but from my family and his. What is a mom to do with all that stuff? Good thing is, the stuff can be split up at different houses now.....hence, that means, anything I don't really want at my house, can go to his!! HA! That means....hmmmm......the talking doll? the one that poops and pees? Sounds like a good toy to have at dad's house! Hey, this may be fun!! LOL!

And, I have decided. I am NOT sending out Christmas cards this year. Don't really want to. But, I will be taking the annual Christmas picture! I already have THE idea buzzing around my head. Can't wait to actually do it. Maybe this weekend. AFTER Yvonne and I make peppermint bark! SO looking forward to this!

Been working on my photography skills. Am really needing a new camera, as there are little quirks on mine, and my focusing points are slowly going. Alas, this will have to wait. Too many other things that I need to take care of.

AND, my little sister, Sha, is getting married next June to Wesley! Such a great guy! And, he treats her SO good.


Promise to post some more pictures soon! As I took some awesome ones recently of another couple!

Everyone knows that Donna Downey rocks! She is totally all inspiring and the fact that she likes vampire smut makes her so much better! Not to mention, her friendly personality and zany sense of humor!

I got to meet her at CHA this summer in Orlando! She's great!! Anyways, I dropped by her blog today, and look what I found! Marianne of Pickled Pear Lane has donated these wonderful fat quarters to be given away to one lucky person chosen off of Donna's blog!




So, I am keeping my fingers crossed, as this awesome fabric would look great in a project I am cooking up!!

I admit, I have a difficult time brushing my teeth. Not because I'm lazy or don't want to. It's just since my second pregnancy, brushing my teeth makes me gag. It's just not a pretty sight.

Well, tonight as I brushing my teeth, as usual, I experienced that wonderful sensation. Apparently, my face looked distorted. Who knows?! I can't honestly say, I watch my facial expressions as I am gagging over toothpaste.

Bo looks at me and asks, "Mommy, why did you make that face? You know, the one where your eyes go up like you're looking into your brain?"

Hmm. I guess that's an interesting outlook on that experience....

I made a friend on my blog. Her name is Julieta, and she is from Argentina. What do we have in common? Well, we can't wait until New Moon comes out, and it seems we have some similar tastes in music. She introduced me to Shakira's new song, She Wolf. Except on Julieta's blog, Shakira was singing in Spanish, and I admit, I could not understand what Shakira was singing. But, I did find it in English, and I added it to my blog. Love the song!! Thanks Julieta!

Oh, and did I mention? We apparently admire Rob Pattinson/Edward Cullen!

I was stalking my blogs today, and I came across this on my friend's blog. In case you are wondering what to buy me for Christmas, I really, really want these!!!!!

Apparently, Mattel is jumping on the Twilight kick, and I couldn't be happier! At least, I have two little girls, who love playing with Barbies. I have an excuse!!
