Just a quick update and a big HELLO to everyone in blogsville.
I hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday week. My husband very smartly planned our road trip to avoid all frozen precipitation so we made great time and actually breezed though those 770-some miles each way with relative ease.
I have many pictures to post but hubby hasn't uploaded them to our server yet as he's been busy putting some of his new (gift) power tools and handyman accessories to use fixing up this and that aound the house.
Speaking of gifts, he overwhelmed me with EVERYTHING on my Target.com "wish list" that he had shipped to my parents' house. Nothing says "thoughtful" than a man repeatedly clicking the ADD TO CART button 15 times in a row. hehehe.
One of the gift I received (which was on my "wish list" and so I was NOT insulted to receive it) is a electronic scale/body fat monitor, which seems to work very well. In fact, according to my new "toy", I manged to not gain any weight over the holidays. Now that is certainly a gift in and of itself!
I went to my local Target the other day to pick up some cleaning and organizing supplies (oh how I LOVE those ornament boxes!!!) and found the "crowning glory" for this year's Christmas card - some "antlers" for Annie to wear for a mere 25 cents! Ooh, but I'd better make sure to also get some bacon...
Today is my daughter's 5th birthday. She and her dad are going to attempt to make a layer cake together, rather than buy store-bought. Personally, I finad great solace in the neatness and uniformity of a pre-done cake, but what the heck, it's her idea to bake and so I wish them luck AND I hope they clean up the kitchen when they are done.
