What a busy, busy week!! And no end in sight until the New Year!! On Monday after work Tyler picked me and Dolly up and went to Peggy and Terry's for dinner. We were there for a few hours before heading home. Late night getting to bed #1. On Tuesday at 2:00 we headed out for our divisional Christmas Party at Maxwell's on Elgin. Complete with appetizers, drinks and a tacky gift exchange. Tyler picked us up from there as well and brought us home. I was so wound up from being out that I didnt get to bed until late. Late night getting to bed #2. On Wednesday we headed to the market at lunch to go to the Crocs store. My dad was recently diagnosed with bone spurs in his feet, austio arthritis and something facitious (dont know what it's called or how it's spelled but he needs physio, medication and to get some prescription orthotic shoes and insoles which are pushing $1000 a pair). The doctor told him Crocs are ortho approved as well so he advised him to get some. I bought...

We Want to Know Wednesday December 14, 2011

Here are this week's questions: 1. Are you a party person? Or do you prefer an intimate gathering with just a few friends? 2. Would you rather be a guest at a party or the hostess with the mostess? 3. What is your favorite party food or drink? (I'd love to see the recipe!) 4. What is the best party you've ever been to? 5.

I'm a homebody that likes to go to bed early. Sue me!!! haha 2. Would you rather be a guest at a party or the hostess with the mostess? I like having people over more. Like I said--I'm a homebody. I like baking for people to come over and making the house all up with candles and such. The only part I dont like is w...

We Want to Know Wednesday! Christmas!!!!

Here are this week's questions and my answers: What is your favorite cookie to eat?  By far--Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip!! With a big glass of milk!!!! :)   But throw some shortbread in there for good measure and because it's the holidays! :) Have you ever done a cookie exchange?  Yes--well it was a "treat exchange". We do them at work--I am not doing it this year though because between all the shopping and baking I already have to do, I just dont have the time or patience for it this year. How are you doing on your holiday shopping?  Haven't really started. I have a couple small things right now but this Saturday and the 21st are my shopping days! Going to start baking soon too.   What is your holiday shopping style? (A little at a time, or power shopper? Early in the season or last minute? Online or part of the crowd?) I usually like to start early so it's not such a big chunk of change coming out at once from my account. This way, everyone gets more ...
