Project 365 – Week 51

This week was jammed pack with activity but most of it went undocumented.

No pictures on Sunday – December 12

Sunday afternoon we found ourselves at two musical events. The first was the Christmas Canteen at the Aurora Theater. It was a very good Christmas Musical Review. We walked out the door after the show to below freezing temperatures and had a spare few minutes before having to go to the church for rehearsals for the DD Christmas Choir concert. All in all I spent a total of three and a half hours listening to some form of Christmas music. I am not sure what my musical threshold is but I think I may have reached it by the end of the night.

Monday – December 13

Just a bit of Christmas cheer! Here is a picture of the tree and mantle.

No pictures on Friday – December 17…

Saturday – December 18

More evidence of Buster’s tortured existence, and the hubs doesn't  have it that bad either! Isn’t that what cold rainy Saturday afternoons are for?

Well I got all my shopping finished up almost. The hubs and I were heading out the door on Friday for his company Christmas party, yea no picture from that either, but it is one of those requirements that you really don feel like documenting. The food was awesome…that is the best thing I can say about the whole evening, anyway as we were heading out I realized that I had totally forgotten to pick up something for Muffinhead stocking. So I will be heading back out next week to pick up a few toddler friendly things for the her. Isn’t that part of the whole Christmas experience, the last minute thing you forgot?

I have the menu planned and some of the grocery shopping done. Next week I will be baking cookies and getting ready for the big day. This year we get to stay home and I can’t tell ya how much I am looking forward to a peaceful Christmas day that does not include sitting in the car for several hours. Not my idea of a fun way to spend Christmas Day!

God is good and I get to enjoy Christmas in my own home.

Well that’s it for me this week.

So much for getting my post done early this week.

For more Project 365 y’all head over to Sara's and link up.

The year is almost over and we will be into 2011 and a whole new round of weekly sharing.

Merry Christmas

Can I trade places with Buster? LOL
Love the tree and mantle! DD just keeps getting cuter; this shot is adorable! I know what you mean about work-related parties. Endurance, sista', endurance :) Glad the food is good at least. So happy you can stay home this year. We'll arrive home Christmas Day -- hopefully. Praying for good weather and good connections on all our flights.

Have a WONDERFUL Christmas!

Announcing the “I won…You Win Giveaway!!!”

Several weeks ago I was the lucky winner of a book giveaway from Mocha with Linda . Click here to read her post about this book! As I finished the book up the other day I began to think about the two women the story centers around. The story begins with two pen pals in elementary school and they continue with there friendship for many, many years through letters and emails, but they have never actually met, not until things change for the main character. Her life takes an unexpected turn and she finds herself face to face with her long time pen pal. I began to think of the similarities between the two women in the book and all of you, my fellow bloggers. As members of this unique internet community we enter into each other lives as we read each others posts, as we comment, share encouraging words or just a well needed giggle now and then. But what I enjoyed as I read this book was the depiction of the friendship these two women shared. They had been intimately involved...

Project 365 ~ Week 12 ~ It was a Muffinhead kinda week…..

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all...
