Christmas shopping...what christmas shopping???

Done, dusted, finnito!!


YAY!!

I have to say that this is a FIRST for me...I am usually out on Christmas Eve still!!


)

Ouch!! I have just done the cristmas decorations with my youngest....That was the easy part though!

It was the preparation work involved first that I had real problems with. Re-arranging furniture and trying to fit down behind furniture that just doesn't have the space for a person to be in there is not good for the health.

However, it is all done now and it is looking really good!!! Even if I do say so myself ))

Okay, did somebody announce and unofficial Friday 13th today??

They say it all comes in three's as well!

1.. About 12 hours ago, to the minute, I discovered that I didn't have the keys to open the office in the morning - when I was supposed to be opening the office in the morning...(problem eventually solved after having to stand about in freezing cold gale force winds for about an hour!)


2.. Noticing that my lace was out while half way through a door way and bending down to tie my lace only to head-butt the door frame!! duhhhhhhhh


3.. While trying to update my pic on facebook and getting a twitch in my finger while on the ABSOLUTE WRONG KIND OF PIC FOR facebook....my comp deciding to freeze up at that moment and need a reboot to get it going again!


lmao, I HAVE had better days than this!!

What is it with bacon? I wasn't hungry, until I smelled bacon cooking......So, obviously once I got a whiff I had to have some.....

Well I challenge anybody else not to...

Today started as a very laid back and lazy day, which was really nice. I really enjoyed my hours without the TV blaring, music blasting or every other noise that I now live with daily, having one and a half daughters (now).......

It must have done me a bit of good because this afternoon I attacked the house and OMG what a difference!! In half the time it would usually have taken I have moved mountains today....I even gutted a cupboard which has probably not seen anything like that in over 10 years!!

I have a home-made meat-loaf in the oven which is smelling superbly scrumptious, the dog has just had the longest walk he has had in well over a month and it isn't even dark yet!!


Today, I took on the world and won!!

I am sooo fed up, the list of stuff that needs done around my house keeps getting longer by the day. The more and more I try to get on top of stuff then the more I seem to find that needs to be done.

Okay, this is probably my own fault, through years of neglect and ignoring jobs. I just can't seem to ignore them any more these days though, and it is just annoying me to silly levels now!!

There is painting, re-papering, sorting cupboards, sanding walls (and ceilings), doors needing replaced, carpets worn way too thin, varnishing, curtain poles, wiring and re-wiring, plastering and god knows what else......It just all seems to be jumping out at me lately and no-matter how deep I keep trying to bury my head, it is still there......

So please excuse me if I ain't a bundle of giggles right now...but my mind seems to be constantly on other stuff right now!!

Last week was a bit of a bad week (total understatement of the decade!!) but....I need to lighten up a bit, soooooo


One for the girls :

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my shape to keep.
Please no wrinkles, Please no bags
Please lift my butt before it sags.
Please no age spots, Please no gray
As for my belly, Please take it away.
Keep me healthy, Keep me young,
And thank you Lord, For all you've done.



Foot Note:

One saggy boob said to the other saggy boob:
'If we don't get some support soon, people will think we're
nuts.'

I spent the last 16 years doing all the hard work on my own, and yet he gets to walk in now and play at being the hero...just because the timing fits!! And he is the good one now!!

Am I bitter.....You bet I am!!

There is something deeply satisfying in embarrassing your daughter, and at the same time making their b/f very uncomfortable!! LOL, just something I figured out tonight....even though he does seem to be a very decent lad and for the first time, one that I actually like

I just got an amazing thank-you prezzie from somebody...(not here, but in the real world) for something that really didn't need any thanks! I am pretty speechless right now...

Although, I am gonna enjoy every second of this gift!
