random delights! thursday 13

oh ya know. it's time for more random delights! (i had another post going on in my mind but it was so scattered i had to give up)

random delight #1-buying Lance a good Christmas present tonight. (he normally gets the shaft)

random delight #2-Lance fixed the computer issues. glad that degree is good for more than work. AND he customized my facebook. added all sorts of protective programs, and got rid of the viruses we did have on it. he even updated my status for me while i was gone.

random delight#3- matching wrapping paper and ribbon to coordinate with the tree. it's just a theory right now. when it's done I'll post pictures. i have a feeling little people will open anything placed under there asap. but when i finally do it will be DELIGHTFUL!

Random delight#4-homemade sugar cookie dough. the best recipe .it's chillin' , I'll bake tomorrow.

random delight #5-running into a friend at Kohl's. wearing a dorky hat. but the hat was better than bedhead. (wet short hair should never be slept on. then worn in public)

random delight#6- late night holiday hours. there is something about stores open until midnight that THRILLS ME!

random delight#7-picking up In 'N' Out Hamburgers late at night.and bringing them home. like a mini date with the hubby.

random delight #8- new dish towels for Christmas. (I'm still in search of some pink ones if you see any let me know where and how much so i can go get them) i buy them for myself every year.

random delight #9-laundry diving. my kids found a new fun activity. we call it laundry diving.
they pile laundry mountain up in front of the washers. and then jump off the washer onto the pile. DELIGHTFUL! better than jumping into a pile of leaves. and laundry mountain is OVERLY LARGE. and always there for their entertainment. yay. i do what i can.

random delight #10- realizing you had awesome friends in the past and still having them now. or finally catching up again.

random delight #11- hearing from my blog friends that met up with my sister in Utah, that they loved my Christmas card that i sent for them.

random delight #12- getting homemade ornaments from my kids. they come home so excited to show me. and put it on the tree. 4 new ornaments this year. the growth over the years is exciting. love to see the gleam in their eye when they bestow that paper package holding the handcrafted goodness. it doesn't matter they don't match my color scheme i have to put them up high so they will survive and be on display appropriately.

random delight #13- Christmas cards rolling in. love to see every one's cute cards. the fun update letters. and all the darling pictures. i'm SO LOVING THE CARDS!


so there we are. i'm chronically scattered. randoms are easy for me to post .

last day of school. and it's only a half day. ;(

i have tons to do. as always.

hope your friday is DELIGHTFUL!

SO, what yucky stuff had you gotten from facebook, and what did you put on to protect from more? Recently, facebook is making me nervous...

I think I need to hit some late night shopping tonight, or my husband is getting nothing....and don't talk about In'n'Out....it makes me hungry and sad! ;)

My Christmas card to you will be a delayed delight. Being that I haven't created it, and have given up the idea until after Christmas! And so sorry about the half day of school....isn't it enough that you have them home for two weeks straight?! Why couldn't the the school give you one full last day of freedom?!

I too love the ornaments that come home from school!! That is very exciting for me!!

I am glad your hubby fixed your computer problems.

And me and Kirk did a late night In and Out burger a couple of weeks ago..I had picked him up from the airport and even though I had already eaten, I knew I had to get one!! Jeremy doesn't like them, So it was fun to go with Kirk!!

It is always nice to realize your husband is useful, even when you already knew. I can't imagine my husband doing anything to enable me to be on the computer even more;) I have nothing wrapped. And I haven't even mailed all of my Christmas cards. Haven't done neighbor gifts, and failed to buy in law gifts in time to send them up to Utah with them. I am lame. I still haven't written thank you cards for baby gifts. Lame. (Answereing questions from above post;)
