Girls,Don't feel bad about how fast time flies...I am still trying to figure out where October of 1980 went! That was the year I was expecting Brandon. It seemed like we went straight from September to November!! 31 years has past in what feels like a few seconds!
Matt'sMom! I hope that you have a wonderful time with your Sailor! Drive safe and bring that 'precious cargo" home!
Reds- You have to remember that I am retired and so I have way too much spare time on my hands! lol!
The best Christmas present that I could receive will be flying in tomorrow morning early am to spend 12 glorious days at home with us. Get to meet the new gf also.
Can't wait. Probably won't sleep at all but considering how early I have to get up to drive to the airport I may as well stay up anyway.
Have a great day ladies!
Sherrill- Yes I know 10 more days! Got the last of the wrapping done yesterday. It is looking full under the tree...wondering where Santa is going to put his this year? I guess I got a bit carried away this year, it has been a blast shopping for the "new" family members! Especially little Abi!
Cindy! I would loose track of the days if I didn't have my advent calendar! I hope you find yours soon. Moving is a challenge even after you're settled! What a great picture. What a good looking bunch! Thanks so much for sharing all of them!
Good Wednesday ladies! Hope everyone has a great day today. Only 3 more Days! Really getting excited now!
MNM- I have been pacing myself! I am too old to bake all of these in one day! Besides I only bake like this around the holidays! I used to bake every Wed. when I was young and made all of our bread, rolls and goodies. These days, especially since being so ill this year I have learned to slow down and pace myself!
Good Morning Ladies! Cindy- Yes he is always siniffing around my kitchen when I am baking! I actually snagged him (back in the day) by baking for him every weekend. He and his roomie used to fight over who was gonna marry me! They loved it when I came with fresh cinnamon rolls! Don't worry about your pumpkin roll, it's in a safe place! Sooo? What does the ship smell like? Is it similar to a locker room? I am glad that Jessi will get that job this year! LOL
Reds- I am counting the days with you!! B will be home on Sat!!
