Busy, Busy, Busy

Oh my goodness!!  I need to get some work done on the Christmas cards, but can't seem to.  I uploaded a 30 day trial for Photoshop CS5 a few days ago, and have not had a chance to try it yet.  Everyday it seems that, as soon as I come home from work, I have to go right out again.  I end up getting home around 8:30 or 9:00pm, eat, shower, and bed.  We still have not decorated the 2nd Christmas tree, or the one outside.  However, we did have a blast unpacking the rest of the Christmas decorations, (and some dishes we had in storage for over a year).  

Scarlett is working hard on the house for her Mary Kay Debut this Sunday, and I've been helping her get ready for that as well.  We've invited lots of people, so I hope she has a good turn out.  My wonderful husband is working on putting the new lights on the house tonight... so I guess it will all come together by the end of the week, (I hope).  Meanwhile, I will need to carve out a firm time for me to work on the Christmas cards.  I want to be able to get them all printed out this weekend and mail them off next Monday.  Still having fun....

Finally Done...

The shopping is officially done.  Scarlett and I went out again last night after dinner, (we got our 2nd wind after eating the awesome chicken at Babes).  We finally got home and dropped into bed at 1:00am!  It was no wonder I slept until Noon today...lol.  We hit the road again about 2:00pm today and just returned.  Everyone now has a Christmas gift... yay!  We will be working on the 2nd tree and inside decorating all this week.  It's going to be a wonderful Christmas.  Scarlett and I have the best husbands... they stayed home with the babies all weekend while we were shopping.  Thank you Scott and Cameron!!   =)  I'm exhausted and going to bed.

Great Shopping Day! =)

The shopping day is done, (for now).  We left the house at 8:00am and came back at 5:00pm.  Scarlett, mom, and I had such a wonderful time, and boy are we tired!  Now it's time to introduce my parents to Babe's Chicken in Roanoke.  It is the best ever!!  It's home cookin' served family style and so yummy!  They also have locations in Frisco, Carrollton, Garland, Cedar Hill, and Burleson, TX.  The menus vary a little at each location, but all are wonderful!!!  If you have never eaten at a Babe's then put it on your "must try" list.  

Well, I didn't get all my Christmas shopping done today; however, I did pretty much stay on budget.  So, one goal was accomplished.  =)  Scarlett and I will finish up the shopping tomorrow.  Hope y'all are having a Happy Saturday too!!!

The Night Before Christmas... Shopping! =)

There is lots of excitement going on in our home tonight... we are finally decorating the trees tonight, (we have 2 this year)!  I'm also getting ready for tomorrow's shopping excursion.  I'm so excited!  My mom is going with us, so we have to leave really early to pick her up.  My mother is so much fun to shop with, (mainly because she's just crazy... LOL).  I have so much shopping to do in just one day.  I need to be back home by 3:00pm, so that we can get ready for the Lighted Boat Parade on Lake Grapevine tomorrow evening.  Wow... what a packed day we have tomorrow.  I love it!  =)  Hope I can get in bed early tonight, so I will have plenty of shopping energy tomorrow.  I hope you all have a wonderful and safe weekend.  Leave a comment and tell me what you have planned for the weekend. 

Oh yeah, and I looked up some photography workshops today that look really great.  I can't wait to get my Nikon in January, so I can sign up for some of them.  I want to learn all I can about photography and my Nikon D5000.  I want to be a great photographer some day.

Working Hard on No Sleep

I found that I have not gone to bed before midnight at all this week, and still have to get up at 5:00am to go to work.  It seems there is so much to do and so little time to do it in.  I am definitely going to bed early tonight.  Everyone else is off doing their own thing, so it shouldn't be too hard.  Still hoping to get the Christmas tree up tonight... it has never taken me so long to do Christmas decorations before.  I usually have them up the day after Thanksgiving.  Of course, I was also usually living in a small apartment and not a 3 bedroom house... LOL.  I think it's just all so overwhelming, but I love it anyway.  

This weekend is going to be all about Christmas shopping! Woo Hoo!!  My goal is to get it all done in one weekend and stay on budget.... will be interesting to see.  I also need to get the Christmas cards finalized this weekend, so we can start mailing them out next week.  All in all, I love my life.  I am very blessed to have such a wonderful and supportive family.  Although I'm pulled in 50 different directions everyday, it's nice to be needed.  =)  

I hope you all feel loved and needed everyday as well.  Have a great night!
