7 day left until Christmas

I finally did it. . . last night in the dark, with only the light of that tree I added all my sweet beachy Christmas ornaments to our Christmas tree. I still have not been able to look at the tree during the day light but the other night I came home and it was all lit up with colored light. As many of you know I prefer white light and it was the year for white light but I didn't even mind this year, they looked fairly ok on this Charlie Brown Tree.
I haven't even had time to do any holiday baking or even much shopping, I am hoping to get this in this week. How about you, what is your favorite things to bake for the holiday season?

2 months later. . .

I know there is no excuse to have been gone for so long but I really have been super busy. I know I am not working this year but I am busier volunteering than I was working.

Christmas is going to be here before we know it and I do not feel ready, I have very little decorations up, I sent someone who shall remain nameless but the initials are JWES out to pick up a tree the other day and he came back with the smallest funkiest tree ever! Wyatt loves it but I am not even motivated to even decorate it or really look at it, I suppose I will get around to doing something to it but for now it in the corner in a tree stand. It is really sad!

Love this new website called alicecorrine it finds great deals and it is super cute. Click on the link and check it out.

Jeff and Sam arrive in the Philippians the other day and are now leaving to go to Thailand Sunday. They are having a good trip so far and I cannot wait to hear all about it.

I am still around

I may not be working this year but I am keeping super busy with helping planning of Battle at the Border. This is an off season event The Holy Cows are co-hosting Saturday the 15th. I have been keeping extremely busy helping with this event.

In addition to the competition there is also some fund raising that is happening at the event, each team is suppose to bring in a bag of canned food for the San Diego food band and we will also be using PINK ubber tubes during the competition to help raise money for breast Cancer research.

Last weekend, after weeks of experimenting, the PINK tubes were finally painted. I used acrylic paint mixed with a texture medium and rolled on 2 coats of paint front and back on each tube.

Now I have to purchase items for the concession booth, order pizza, pack up my 4 page list of items I need to bring to the event and cheer on my favorite FRC team The Holy Cows.

How I spend my days

Since I do not have a job teaching this year I get to hang out and play wit this cutie sometimes. Today I got to take her to the beach park.

Love this

I am using this picture from the Internet. I love the feel of the military standing under the Stars and Stripes.

9/11 ~ 10 years later

My how far we have traveled in 10 years. Destruction, death, war, natural and other man made catastrophes including economic obliteration of a system we once believed would provide us with security. In the midst of the free-fall many of us found ourselves and decided to land in joy as it is free, always available, non-political and the path of least resistance. Remember to remember where we were and how far we've come.

Sitting in darkness

The power went out today so tonight we are sitting around in the darkness and I am using my hook with a built in light to work in some gifts.
They say the power wont be back on until maybe tomorrow night.
