The season of colds!

Well it went around work and now I have it.. a cold.. I never get colds but alas it has hit me.. I missed a day and a bit last week and now came home early today to do paper work in the peace and serenity of my home and laptop. Thank you Lord for Chicken Noodle soup!! mmmmmmmmmm..

My Christmas shopping is done again.. but now I'm doing the adding touches to gifts.. I've bought a little something for all the kids on my caseload and now feel that I need gift bags for them all.. all 33 of them! That's a lot of wrapping and gift bags I must say! But I love Christmas so much and love giving so much more so its so worth it to me! Especially since my gift may be the only thing some of these kids get.. and my gift isn't much in the scheme of things but a lot of love goes with it so hopefully the kids realize that also.

Back to doing my paper work.. Merry Christmas and happy shopping!

Down, down, down...

Well.. the snow kept coming down this week.. my health went down a tad but the best 'downer' of all.. I lost 4 lbs!! I am getting closer and closer to my goal every week! So far a total of 15 inches and 20 lbs.. I'd like to loose another 20 lbs before my holiday next year and it would be nice to loose another 5 lbs by Christmas.. that may be difficult with all the wonderful food at this time of year!

Here's to another 'down' week!

Winter Wonderland!

How shocked I was to look out the window this afternoon only to see it was snowing!! We never get snow this early! So I took Maddie out for a walk and she snurfed the snow as we made our way down the road.. it has turned out to be quite the blizzard.. I think there is close to three inches if not more!

Not to rub it in but I am officially finished my Christmas shopping! Now everything else I pick up are bonus gifts! My plan is to start wrapping tomorrow.. I've always wanted to make things look pretty when they are wrapped but I always end up leaving it to the last minute so there are never any pretty ribbons or bows but this year I've gone all out so Martha step aside! I've even taken over as Mrs. Christmas at work.. I have organized everyone to draw names for the secret santa and we are putting up the Christmas tree on December 1st! Hey.. someone has to do it!
