We picked out our annual ornament a couple weekends ago, but now I'm on the lookout for one for the two dogs. <br /><br />For all the times I've bought things for people through Swiss Colony, I've never actually gotten anything for myself! Those petit fours look SO good, but I just never bought them. I've wanted to try the chocolate covered cherries and the turtle-type carmel-y chews. I haven't gotten my Swiss Colony catalog yet, but now you've given me an idea. After the year I've had, I'd say I deserve a little somethin' somethin' for meself. =o)dalbador1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877799102438622117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-8306688028107565092012-11-01T13:21:32.955-04:002012-11-01T13:21:32.955-04:00Ha!

Then packing, more packing, window washing, a disappointing Redskins game on TV, naps, reading, made banana bread. Wow, where did all that time come from?

Started out just a light mist and turned into full on rain by the end, we were soaked by the end. Oy, I should know better than to sign up for races in the fall and winter in the Northwest, but too many are just plain fun to do and/or have great medals at the end. We did shopping and prepping for the week yesterday.<br /><br />We had to get a shed to put our outdoor Christmas decorations in, if that tells you anything. We look at new stuff that comes out and say no way, we have NO MORE ROOM, outdoors or indoors, but some things just can't be passed up and we find room (and no, we don't have one of those houses that is covered in cheap Christmas decorations, we have little vignettes set up front and back since our house backs up to a major street). Love, love, LOVE to see the Christmas decos in the stores. <br /><br />Tomato soup and grilled cheese panini = heaven in the fall.<br />Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794334786555278616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-41151267174253285622012-10-29T10:33:45.627-04:002012-10-29T10:33:45.627-04:00I had to LOL b/c I was looking for the jingle bell...I had to LOL b/c I was looking for the jingle bells on the pillow, and I finally got it. Don't worry, it didn't take too long before reality hit. <br /><br />This year I have been so ready to put up my Christmas tree. My mom always said we had to wait until after Thanksgiving, so that's what I tell myself. When I left home, I had been living in apartments. That was for 5 years. Finally I bought a house and I have been putting up my tree for the past 2 years. This year will make it 3, but I feel like I want to do something besides just a tree. I just feel like I'm not creative enough. I am going to look around at things to make my house more festive for the holidays.

My favourite sandwich has been grilled cheese with mushrooms and garlic butter (very sparingly) SO delicious! (I think I know what I'm having for supper!)<br /><br />My weekend was great! I worked Saturday, and Sunday I finally had a whole day off to myself. I tried Yoga for the first time, ran 3.5km and then just lazed around. (And I really did just laze around because I didn't even move my butt to wash dishes!)<br /><br />Daphne @ Daphne Alivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12754820716724623445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-57846932615993686262012-10-29T09:25:14.518-04:002012-10-29T09:25:14.518-04:00What a cute pillow!!!

Eek, Christmas is looming!!<br /><br />My weekend was spent outdoors while there was sunshine and the wind was nowhere to be found (that's all going to change this evening!) I washed windows, mowed the lawn and worked on leaf removal. I reminded myself that since it needs to be done anyway (I really hate dirty windows in the winter!) it would probably be a more pleasant task on a sunny October day then some miserable November one. And when it was done, I patted myself on the back and said, "Well Done!!"Kathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16206555720885684042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-41552810690008201342012-10-29T09:21:25.243-04:002012-10-29T09:21:25.243-04:00My weekend of just.doing.nothing didn't really...My weekend of just.doing.nothing didn't really materialize. Friday morning, which is my day off work, I substitute taught in a kindergarten classroom. I was glad when the morning was over! I had errands to run on Saturday, including going to my son's house to deliver a jacket grandson had forgotten at our house last weekend (but I missed seeing my little loves, they were all gone at swimming lessons), and picking up groceries. I found a few Christmas pretties (50% off) at Shopko too. I always try to buy one or two new ornaments or other decorations each year. Thus, I have box up on box UPON box of decorations. Like you, I am a fan of everything Christmas! We watched our Huskers defeat Michigan in football Saturday night (YEA!), and on Sunday attended the Nebraska Volleyball game here in Lincoln. They were playing #1 Penn State and the Husker girls scratched and clawed their way back (from way behind, like one game it was 18-10), to win 3 games to 2 games! That was one of the thrills of my life, the crowd was electric and loud and I love those girls like they are my daughters, even though I don't know any of them personally at all. I was so happy for them and for ME! I know I will never forget that game!<br /><br />That panini looks mighty delicious! I'm going to have to buy a panini pan. Maybe I'll put that on my Christmas list!dupsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088114640385927198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-55136226672865034072012-10-29T09:17:29.037-04:002012-10-29T09:17:29.037-04:00Start small and watch it snowball baby!

I'm all about Halloween the way you're all about Christmas so I really wish they would wait until Halloween is actually over before they clear out the pumpkins and skeletons and put up wreaths and reindeer. I went to a discount place over the weekend and their Halloween stuff was squeezed down to one little section of shelving and had been replaced by 2 full rows of Christmas stuff (except the candy of course, that's still front an center. For both holidays).<br />another layerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756727485274694135noreply@blogger.com
