Christmas!!

I have been in a bit of a "funk" lately.  Between back and knee pain... and then all of the steroids... OUCH!  It wasnt making me the most pleasant of ppl, to say the least! 

I think it is getting better... as least today...LOL!!
I did ALL of our Christmas shopping!!  OK, MOST...LOL!!  Just a few more little things to pick up... but for the most part, the kids are DONE!  We are keeping Christmas on the smaller side this year... since we are taking a week long trip to the cabin.  I would rather put our "Christmas money" to use on the experiences and family time of that week... and pay less attention to the material side of the Holiday.  Christmas... and most Holidays really... have turned into such a money racket.  I hate the message it sends.  So, this year we are switching it up!    Let's hope it all works out for the best!! 

For our trip... I (painfully) decided to board Gunner!  My grandfather isnt too keen on Gunner... because Gunner does not like him.  Sooo... I have asked Tim and Carol to keep him.  I wouldnt trust anyone else!!!  We are working out all of the details... and I think it will do us all some good!  Even though I will be SUPER sad without him. 

The puppies had their first vet appt today!!  They received their first shots and got a clean bill of health!  They are all ready to find fur-ever homes!! 

Carrey came over this morning and gave Brittany a massage!!  Brittany LOVED it... she is still saying how "AMAZING" it was!!  She said she feels like she is floating on a cloud... no tension at all.  The best she has felt after a grueling gymnastic night! 
Added bonus... I got to hang out with Lexi!  I LOVE that she comes to me and talks to me now!!!  :-)  But Nathan is still her favorite...LOL! 
OMG... she did THE CUTEST little "skating move" today... butt first, just like the figure skaters do!!  It was pretty darn amazing... I was impressed!! 
Adult convo is always nice too... especially with the crappy mood I have been in lately.  UGH!

I scored a HUGE deal on my new PhotoShop software today!!!  Found a cyber Monday week promo code!!  40% off!!!  :-)  It pays to be patient and research!!!

So yeah... I am pretty happy today!  Plus tonite I have some plans... soooo all is good.  Still SUPER pissed at my hubby about the speeding ticket tho!!!  Grrr

Oh... I want to send out some love and prayers to my oldest and dearest... TINA!  The girl just cant catch a break.  She is having some surgery today... thankfully it is pretty easy and routine and she should be back home in a day or so!  Her speech is sounding so much better now, since her stroke... I LOVE hearing that voice of hers!!!  I just love her.  <3  Anyway... thoughts, love, and prayers for a speedy recovery!
