Good morning, everyone!! Off and on the run again this morning...some banking to do, one of our reindeer "died" yesterday (no lights), so I'm off to Michael's to see if they have another one on their sale...or a couple of lighted trees...then hair appointment, then mani/pedi, then a planning meeting at 5:30...busy days!!

Stay safe everyone...the roads seem to be polluted with people who just found out that Christmas is around the corner and are driving like maniacs to get their shopping all done in one day! Sheesh!!

Holly...safe travels, Sweetheart...Oh! DD's hubby just rec'd a promotion to a division Manager at his brokerage firm...a very nice Christmas present for them!!

Okay! I'm outta here!! Happy day, everyone!!!!!

It's been quiet in here today! I got a ton of stuff done today but I still have lots more to do lol. Most of my presents are wrapped and I got stockings started... gotta finish up shopping tomorrow after Hayden's Christmas concert!

[MrsSunshine]

good for you Tami!.. almost there myself..im just about finished putting the stockings together. will 'paint' decorate them tomorrow... hubby me saved me a trip today and picked up my sons gift. so only need to pick up his(hubbies) gift at SDM he's getting 007 cologne shh its a secret.. few more scratch tickets for parents envies and bake cookies/brownies they should be easy.. mix some goodies together then bake.. then get my hair done(need dye job BAD)!. them im done. i still can't believe i waited until the last minute this year.. in all fairness i 'thought' we were going away this year.. hmm maybe next year.
So what color should I do my hair. was thinking of a cranberry dark brown. but unfortunately the color doesnt' last long. maybe 2 weeks before grey comes back .. and then i would end up with two toned hair as well. maybe just a darker brown. maybe i'll pick up some koolaid or some hair paint and do some streaks for fun.

Spent 2 hours at the dentist today

I'm just thankful it's done. Leave it to me to get a cavity it the worst spot. Meh. That's what I get for not going for over 2 years. Didn't want to go when preggers and then life got busy with 2 little ones.

At least now I'm all caught up!

Busy day today, everybody is finally feeling better, so I got lots done. Made homemade marshmallows, and creamy snowball cookies. Painted some more of the salt dough ornaments that I need to finish for gifts. Cleaned. Napped. Good day!

I dyed mine a dark cherry brown during the summer with the John Freida color foam and the color is STILL there!!! I love it, definitely try it out, it's worth the price!!

Oh honey, I was just wondering how you were doing I would march into the Dr. and demand some different tests. That isn't right at all!

I've always wanted to make homemade marshmallows but I've heard it's almost impossible if you don't have a stand mixer because you have to beat them for so long Did you make regular ones or flavored?

Nothing better

[LovelyLaeticia]

I made coconut ones! and yes they were in the mixer for like 20 minutes!

Good Morning everyone. Made it here safe and sound, all unpacked again and settled in for the balance of the winter. Was 87 here yesterday, and today they are calling for 85 I woke up this morning, and my throat hurts soooooo bad. I went to ask dh for a cup of coffee, and some skweak came out noooooo, not this, not now. I just finished my coffee, had dh put some honey in it for me. I don't want to get sick!!!!!!

[Natalka]

Glad you got there safely, holly! Wow, you are in the heat!

Eat some garlic, have some chicken soup - hope you don't get more sick!
