Happy Friday everyone! I hope you had a great week and are ready to get down to business for the last potentially obligation free weekend of the month. This is the weekend to remember to get out there and do something fun and that you want to do, not what you have to do!

I like the idea of a weekend with want to's for sure. I would say sign me up but then that would make it a half to I suppose. Have a great weekend everybody!
ReplyDeleteI'm SOOOOOO ready for want to's!!!!!
DeleteUh, I meant have to... it was early. Doh!
DeleteHappy Friday! Will you please share the "recipe" for the #4 potpourri? The page isn't loading and when I go to the original site it's not there either.
ReplyDeleteWell darn it! I just checked and it's loading for me so maybe try later for the other recipes. Mine is 2-3 clementine (or one navel orange) peel, 2 cinnamon sticks and 1 tbsp of cloves in a saucepan (or small crockpot) of 2-3 cups of water. Bring it to a boil initially then knock it down to simmer and add 1/2 cup water every 30 minutes so it doesn't evaporate and burn. They added apples to theirs too and a pinecone. (???) I didn't know pinecones really emitted a scent but yeah. I've got mine ready to go for tonight though right now the smell of oatmeal raisin is filling the house for a close second in holiday smells! :D
DeleteMy only have to this weekend besides a meeting, grocery shopping and laundry is making a few batches of brownies for gifts for the boys on Monday and the mail lady. The hubs got an unexpected gift of tomorrow off paid because he had more vacation hours than he knew about because of his 2-year work anniversary. So we'll actually get to see each other this weekend! =o)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I did watch a commentary on A Charlie Brown Christmas and how it almost didn't happen. It was a really great program to learn some behind the scenes stuff. I simply cannot imagine it not being a part of my holiday season...
