i love me some crazy socks!

Kandy gave me some new slippers before she moved out! Two pair actually! the others are black with Kitty cats on them! these yellow ones stay on the first floor, the black ones, on the second floor next to my bed! It's not often i need to wear them (hormoneally!!!) But when i want them....i have 2 new pairs now. I guess i am hard/tough of slippers, seems I've had several pairs for quite some time now, so they were retired to slipper heaven.
One of my g/f's loves my crazy socks! Why didn't i remember to write that down on my xmas list!?!! But i realy do like to wear socks that make a statement! I have several pair that make me giggle when i select them! (one pair look like laced up tennis shoes) BFF laughs every time i wear those to her house! I do remove my shoes when i enter her house,so that may be why i like to wear my craziest one to her house, knowing she's looking at my feet! LOL
Well enough about me socks...till later...more pics then!

so much done already!

where ice-cream cones come from!
i do feel like this year i have done alot ahead of time for myself! It will also help me be more relaxed for the holidays, and i need that big time! To realize that i will be cutting out 5 days of prep,buy,wrap,or get anything done time out of my month of December, scares me! I usually use each and every single day to try and be ready ( are we ever realy ready???) I hope i am not adrift ALONE on this here boat!

I was clearing a few emails, and came across this lovely cartoon sent to me from Willie! He knows i like snowmen/snowwomen and sent me this years ago! but now i feel it fits my mood right now! shhhhhh don't tell, but i am secretly wishing for snow here! it just makes things all pretty and white! and smells fresh and chilling! Living on lake michigan we sometimes get lake-effect snow, or have more because we are so close to the lake! don't rat me out...but now i love winter and snow! even thou i am not a "winter sports" kinda nut...i am the sit and watch it from inside kind of person! cheers with a mug'o'choco
:D

only a few more totes to haul up from the basement! Off i go...humming christmas tunes! enjoy your holiday preperations! :)

it's good to be home!

i am a very lucky person, i get to travel at another persons expense (Fathers-in-laws are wonderful). I had the ummmm....pleasure of helping my father-in-law drive down to Sarasota Florida, he acts tough, but is sweet underneath it all! We left Wisconsin with the expected high of 39 degrees...can you say BRRRRRRRR! When we reached Florida, it was a wonderful 79 degrees...almost warm enough for me to want to go swimming in the pool outdoors! but i didn't, i refraned, and didn't want to SHOCK the old people there! The trip down is always enlightening and informative with a man who realy doesn't know me that well. Not like i just joined the family or anything, married for 27 years now!, but he is learning i am not such a bad person after all. And there is a good reason his son pick me and held on to me so tight! (oops does that sound conceited?...it's not suppose to be) He was mis-informed many years ago, by another family member! But now i think he likes me for who i am!
ok on with it already.....driving isn't the problem, it's getting him to stop and not push it so hard! A person can only take so much sitting down in a car! We thinks because we make good time, we should continue and get as far as we can get in one day...even if this means there are no rooms left to stay the night! Calling ahead doesn't do any good either, i tried that! But walking in at just the right time, to get a cancellation, and snatch the room up...even if it means sharing a room and sleeping on a roll-away bed.It does pay to be short to sleep on one of those things! that night was saved, and peacefull sleep was had by both occupants, with a joke of " i slept with your Dad honey" and got quite a laugh from the hubby!But the best part about leaving home, is getting back!
Welcome Home...safe and sound
