Coming up

My man is leaving for the weekend with a buddy.  They are going to his buddy's Dad's house.  I'm sure they are going to be doing manly things, lol.  I will stay home and do girly things :)

I plan on cranking up some music, dancing/singing around the house and being a complete dork!  It's been forever since I've done that and I must admit... I'm looking forward to it!

Benatar,  Lauper, Swift, Spears and Gaga... The weekend is ours!

Aside from being a dork, I would like to try to re-vamp my blog a little (if I can get smart enough to figure things out) and possibly do some deep cleaning.  Ok... I WILL do some deep cleaning since the messy love-of-my-life will be out of the way enjoying his manly weekend :)

I will miss Kris though.  Yeah, it's only going to be 3 days but we live together and do everything together.  But, I guess it would be good for us :)  I just know he's going to miss me like crazy (eye-roll)!

Well, I must go finish laundry and pack his bag... Have a great day all!

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Why does Santa have 3 gardens?  So he can ho, ho, ho!  Silly, I know but still kinda cute :)

These are a couple of center piece tree things I made for a few gifts this year.  I made 4 total...

2 Silver
1 Green
1 Red

 

I forgot to take a picture of all the things I made (including the red tree center piece) but after people open their gifts, I will take pictures and edit this post to upload them.  I wish I could have done more for friends and family (gift wise) but this is my first year of making things.

Blood, sweat and tears went into everything I made!  Well, not the canned jellies I made and the pickles my boyfriend and I made (gifts also).

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!  Safe travels and happy gatherings!

Colorado and the Comforts of Home

I had a blast in Colorado!  The week went by super fast and I wasn't ready to come home yet, lol.  Kris and I went to a wedding (his friends) in Colorado and Kris was the best man.  It was my first time meeting the two newly weds and I was nervous but, they are awesome people and made me feel completely comfortable.

Beautiful Couple ~ Inside and Out!
(Paul and Nicole ~ Nov. 27th, 2010)







I was really scared to meet them at first, lol.  I was so afraid they wouldn't like me or approve of me but it seems they both approve.  I guess you could say I was a success!  Shy at first but they seemed to like me :)  Like I've said before, I'm not a people person but I had fun!  I met a lot of awesome people (friends/family of theirs) and hope to keep in touch and hang out with them again.

Kris seemed to be happy that I went with him.  (I almost didn't go)  It was funny... He was in the wedding and I was not.  At one point, he asked me how many times I was hit on by the guys there!  *giggles* I told him "None hit on me" lol.

As you can see, I'm not a girly-girl.  I hate dressing up and doing my hair.  Honestly, I wouldn't even know what to do with my hair besides curl it.  But, I would have tried more for this day if I had more time.  Time was a little hectic... But, I still felt pretty so it's all good :)  And now, Kris and I have a picture of us both kinda dressed up for his mother, lol.

While we were there in Denver, Kris was determined to take me to the Casa Bonita Restaurant (Beautiful House or House of Beauty... something like that).  That place is fricken nuts!  It looks so tiny on the outside (even though it sticks out like a sore peter) but it's huge on the inside with many different levels and about 500+ tables with different themes to them.  Plus, entertainment and caves for people to wander through, lol. That place was 2nd highlight of our trip... Wedding was 1st!






All in all, I had a blast and would love to go back again!  But, I was so happy to be home and sleeping in my own bed :)  You never realize the things you love till you don't have them for a while.  I love my bed, I love my pillow, I love my house, I love walking around in my panties... It's the simple things in life that bring such happiness!

Well all, I cleaned my house today and decorated for Christmas.  Now, I'm ready to tackle the laundry that is taunting me.  Have a great day and I hope everyone had a great Turkey Day!
 

TTYL

Hey all!  So, Kris and I are leaving tomorrow to drive to Portland (roads are horrible) and getting a motel room for the night.  Then, we are going to fly to Colorado for his friends wedding.  Kris is the Best Man.  We are flying back to Portland on the 30th.  Our plane should land around 9:30pm so we might get a room for that night as well.  Not sure yet.

Anywho... I'm excited about flying but nervous about all the people.  I hate being around butt-loads of people I don't know... I'm not a people person and it puts me way out of my comfort zone.  Oh well, I'm a strong woman and I think I will do just fine...

I will take pictures and share some when I get back.  It will be my first time going to Colorado :)  Wish me luck on all and I hope every single one of you have a great Thanksgiving!  Eat lots, stay warm and be safe :)
