assorted sunday thoughts.

first. i am so excited for this month to be here. NOVEMBER! some of the highlights of my year are this month. and it's here. yay.

what are they?

Election day. can't wait until it's over. i'm sick of the talk. the rants. the Emails. everyone has an opinion. i'm done hearing it. i can't wait to vote (i have a habit of losing my early ballots) on TUESDAY! CAN'T WAIT!

veterans day?-1/2 price day at savers! WHOOHOO. very exciting. i love cheap stuff. and it's even more fun to see all of my friends there getting a bargain too. DOBSON AND BROADWAY. that's my store of choice. 8:00 am . see ya there.

Peyton turns 10 on the 19th holy crap! i have a kid turning a whole decade old. that makes me feel old too. hmm. still exciting.

Twilight comes out. i can't wait. so far plans are not finalized about when i'm going to the movie. or where. or how many times i'm going to see it. BUT I CAN'T WAIT!

the best day ever! BEEEEESSSSTTTT DAAAAAYYY EVVVVVEERRRR! black friday. and my fave shopping on thanksgiving at KMART!

i know Kmart! who knew it was exciting? but it totally is. i LOVE going on thanksgiving morning . LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! and it's not for what they offer there, it's all about the shopping. just going, waiting, looking at ads while i wait, running through the store. cackling. and making some impulse purchases. or even better. stuff i really need. yay! i love cheap stuff.

AHHHHHHHH bliss!

it's coming. i'm gearing up. and my thoughts are almost completley consumed with christmas.

do you love how it's officially christmas now at all the stores? including christmas music? WTH?

i do love it , it makes me wanna put away my witches and bust out the tree.
this week.

i just might.


and i'm not kidding.

and then my Mom's christmas party, seeing Santa.

christmas card prep. dress hunting. photo shoots. OHHH LAA LAA!


so this month is VERY exciting for me. VERY EXCITING!

you can imagine the build up is huge for me.

i have grand schemes for lots of crafts. fabulous traditions. and fabulous baking. this year.

i have no room for a depressed stupor. like last year.

i WILL have a FABULOUS holiday season.

i may have to cut back on some other stuff. (thrice weekly lunches)

and plan ahead.

but it will be FABULOUS, FABULOUS, FABULOUS! I TELL YOU!

you are excited too aren't you?


oh and sidebar.i was sick today. too much fun, too many late nights. left me wide open for this cold to kick into high gear and make me feel super crappy. SINUS,headache,sore throat, runny nose, cough. NOT FUN.

of course lance has come "man cold" and slept all day.it was interrupted sleep but seriously i have a real cold. and got up. made my own noodle soup from scratch and biscuits. fed kids. cleaned some. and felt rather under appreciated when no one ate much. but i made it for myself anyway. i guess i should just not worry about it.

ok so that's what i'm thinkin' about. and super duper excited for.

now you know.

are you excited too?

I am excited for Christmas, probably more so this year than any before.

I'm not sure what is different..maybe my expectations.

It's going to be a good one...I can just tell!

I so excited that it is the Thanksgiving/Christmas season right now. And I'm the weirdo who has been listening to Christmas music for a few weeks now... it makes this heat seem a bit more tolerable!

andrea said...

Sorry you have the ucky cold.....I had that about a month ago...nastiest one I've had in years.

I am also OH SO EXCITED for elections to be OVER! Sick of it, I tell ya! I don't even watch the news anymore, just check the weather forecast online and call it good! :)

This morning, my alarm went off, and there it was....Christmas music! I forgot my nice "easy-listening" station (I hate being awakened by anything blaring!) starts playing Christmas music Nov. 1st....My alarm hasn't gone off since the 31st! ;)

tammy said...

Sorry you're sick. No fun. I can't wait for the election to be over too. And did you notice all the sales that started yesterday? I think a lot of stores aren't even waiting for black Friday. Wii games - buy two get one free, just to name one fabulous deal. I want to get my shopping done now.
