Little Man is back in the house!

Wow, it's been a whole week since I blogged. Don't worry, I got a couple more of my writing pieces on my new blog. Check them out! I just posted "Christmas Chaos" the other day. Check it out.

It's been a cold, blustery and busy week. Between the Internet being down (maybe the weather?) I've been trying to post articles to my column at the Examiner.

Half-Past Kissin' Time Photobucket

Boy am I ready for Friday! That's because that means it's time for Friday Fragments and Virtual Girls Night Out.

We are still decorating for Christmas. Today we decided to switch the tree and the TV around. It was a real stretch to plug the Christmas Tree lights in. Now it reaches fine.


I have been so busy with my Internet and decorating, it was hard to remember to write down my fragments. And you know if you don't write them down, they are gone.

As if that weren't enough distraction, but Little Man decided to come for a couple of days. Now how is grandma supposed to work with such a cutie around?

He helped us clean the house. Unfortunately, he wasn't paying attention all those times that we told his father you CANNOT vacuum laying down!



If the fact that the grandkid was working was shocking, check out Princess Der in action:



Grandpa acquired an old sled and thought a "lucky someone" would like it. The adults in our family do a "Secret Santa." No one in our family would be offended by a second hand gift if it's an antique. The person I have to buy a gift for would probably love it, but it's quite rusted. i'm not sure if I should paint a cute scenery on it, or leave it. In the meantime, I thought Little Man would have fun with it. He did!



Grandma won the race!

Ron's birthday is Sunday. I got him 2 tickets to Midget Wrestling that was going on last night. I told him he could invite a friend or bring me. I told him I WOULD NOT be offended if he brought a friend. So, he brought his friend "Rollback" as we call him.

Rollback's girlfriend came over and made cookies with Princess Der and I. She pretty much likes to clean more than bake, so she followed us around and cleaned up after us. We did make her stir the chocolate chip cookie dough, though.




Little Man went home yesterday afternoon, and I'm still finding his cars around the house.

When I went to put them in the toy closet, I saw this:


I can't imagine what Little Man thought when he saw Princess Der's 1/2 man in there!

He's probably afraid to come back to Grandma and Grandpa's!

Anyhoo, must go get something going for supper. I just got the Internet back on a short while ago, so I'm behind schedule.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Greetings from Pennsyltucky!

Hello, greetings from Pennsyltucky! Actually, from Pennsylvania, where Princess Der & I are visiting my mom and uncle for a few days! My (dearly departed) brother & I used to call Pennsylvania that! I've been meaning to get down here, and since I work at home, and she is homeschooled...I thought why not now? We had a few days with no activities or doctors appointments, so here we are!

Princess Der has been helping my uncle paint the porch today. He is disabled and confined to a wheelchair. He can stand for a minute or so, but that's about it. So, she climbed up the 8 ft ladder and painted all the parts that were difficult for him. Although I should add, he HAS been on that ladder and others! He is very crafty at figuring out how to get things done when necessary!

We all went to lunch downtown - man the Steak sandwich w/ onions & peppers was delish! Then Princess Der went with my mom to work in the gift shop at the hospital.

Give-away!




Last week, I was giving away 2 child ID kits- that's one to 2 different winners. Gena one one of them (surprise! I haven't even told her yet!) So leave me a comment and let me know you want the other one, and I'll put your name in the hat :-)

Secret Santa!





Last week I asked how would you all like to do a "Secret Santa?" Anyone that wants to do it can let me know and I'll put your name on the list. Maybe mid-late October, I'll draw the names and distribute them to the participants. We can either do something like a $5.00 or under gag gift or a homemade gift- what do you guys think? I can send each participant something to fill out beforehand about their hobbys and such.

Let me know in the comments section if you would like to join in. We can post pics of our gifts on our blogs when we get them.

Anyhoo- must go get a bite to eat, have a little more work to do, then I'm partying! Ya-hoooo! Later!
