Welcome to My Town
There is a shopping center in my town and at every place we have a stop sign in this parking lot this sign accompanies it!

Hustle & Bustle?
Everyone always talks about how chaotic this time of year is. From time to time I have made this comment with justifiable reasons I am sure. But honestly, this is a fabulous time of year. Aside from my last minute stocking stuffer ideas, I have been finished with my shopping for about 2 weeks. I have what is called a Christmas Club account at my bank. Money is automatically taken from my checking account every week and deposited into this account. This makes for a great way to have a debt free Christmas every year. It also makes me get extremely excited about the first week of November since that is the day they give me all of my money back to go shopping with. I hit all of the Veterans Day sales and call it done! Do not even ask me to hit Black Friday sales.... I am out on that!All though the cold chills me to the bone, it wouldn't be Christmas without the cold. I would have a hard time saying Merry Christmas in tropical weather.
I want the old fashion "movie magic Christmas". I want the snow and the sleigh rides. I want to snuggle by the fireplace and the countdown to Christmas movies with mommies and daddies kissin' under the mistletoe. I want the traditional family sleepovers with all of the cousins, giggling till really late, waiting on Santa and all of the kiddos in their footed jammies.
I also love my Christian traditions. I love the church Christmas plays, when inevitably the sheep will sneeze or the cow will hiccup and the choir will get tickled and the wise men fall up the stairs. I love making a birthday cake for Jesus and reading the real Christmas story from the Bible. I sing O Holy Night year round so it is especially fitting this time of year as well. :)
I love Christmas parties. I will have a different Christmas party with each group of people I know and still couldn't have too many parties. It is a time of year when people embrace each other and make time for those they love.
Hustle & Bustle? Maybe. But it doesn't have to be. You can make it stressful and all about the expensive gifts.
I recommend you take a look at what is truly important this year and enjoy Christmas!

From Summer to Winter
Time quickly passes when you are having fun!
I can not believe it has been so long since I have made a post. If there are any readers still out there, I am shocked!
I used to get so bored with people's blogs that only updated once in a 'blue moon'! I now qualify.
Brad and I have been married over a year now. L'il C is in 3rd grade and doing fabulous. She is also in dance again this year. Brad is busy with the youth group and I have been working diligently to become a director. I am polishing my business skills and finally applying the money management skills I was taught so long ago to actually start making a profit...instead of blowing it all on shoes. :)
Tito has lived to be 1 year old....although it will be another test if he makes it Jan 15th when I will have owned him 1 year. He pouts and goes to the bathroom in my floor. Or if we are out of town he will chew up our couch when we get back. (Even if my mom faithfully comes over to let him out and play with him 4 times a day while we are gone.) He now thinks that our Christmas tree is his personal pooping tree. UGH! If he wasn't so darn cute I would string him up by his toenails! :) I threaten everyday to sell him. Unfortunately Brad and L'il C will not let me....because again, he is too cute to sell. :)
This past weekend L'il C and I went with my parents on a 14 hour round trip weekend visit to friends we haven't seen in 25 years. It was a great trip and good to see them but that is more time than I can spend with parents. :)
I had a great birthday this week. It was very pleasant and an absolute perfect day. The weather was awesome, I got great presents, and I got to eat at P.F. Changs, which is my favorite place to go. My mom eats dry chicken and hamburgers with meat and bread only and I have never gone there to accomodate her but I decided we should go since she made me eat Furr's Cafeteria at some of her birthday dinners. :) She didn't even complain. We had a lovely time.
Christmas will be here faster than I can imagine and I am looking forward to it. I won't have a moment to breathe but it will be much fun.
People make fun of me because I live by my day planner. They call it my Bible. I don't go anywhere without it. But if they want to plan something they tell me to go get my Bible so we can plan. I am busy and that is the best way for me to function.
My camera went zoink and my cell phone won't transfer my pics so I am sad.
I hope you are all doing wonderful and it would be great to hear from you!
Love ya,
Sweet Yet Sassy
