guys put the ledge on front of house today. looks nice!

made Bigfoot an ugly Christmas sweater...if you're cold, they're cold. also hung the Christmas solar lights and red unbreakable bulbs in his pine tree. mailed Tracy's package. called vet for boarding appt. and made hotel reservation for the upcoming Meet Krampus/Shirtless Comic Guy weekend. I found a haunted hotel in Lawrence, but it was pricy and we all know I won't see a ghost anyway. so just went with fridge in room and free breakfast.

spitting snow at bedtime.

and so it begins...

update.

every year I lose a christmas sack or 2. made replacements. all have new homemade name tags and a string of jingle bells....cause jingle bells will add to the merriment. wrapped grands gifts I have thus far and put in bags. finished Tracy's homemade gifts and boxed her stuff up to ship.

ordered baby a wild animal rattle set from Cabela's. found a ghost ring I'd got for Millie.

I ventured out into a blustery 35 degree autumn day in search of a Christmas Alien for Tracy. mission accomplished.

Kevin wasn't happy that I went. there were some text messages. he was having a football day. I baked brownies when I got home, he ate one. nothing was said. but when Sunday night football came on, he muted that woman wailing the song, so he still loves me. I do annoy him beyond belief by just being myself...grands Christmas sacks now have jingle bells - cause why not - and new nametags. gifts thus far wrapped and in appropriate bag. have to sort through the stack of books and notebooks...

also finished the gifts I was making for Tracy and boxed them up to go to Post Office (tomorrow, if I remember. I wrote it on the list, but somedays I don't even look at the list....I'll admit it. started RH app yesterday. I can't navigate it. Walkfit not counting the steps for the RH workouts. I don't want a diet plan and water reminders. so cancelled sub. it's good till Dec. 6 so I can do the workouts. confession: it is 10:13, I have not done them yet. but I will. in a minute. I've been busy. AND....today was my 150th day of hitting my Walkfit Step Goal. yay me! I am amazed. I am not known for my stick-to-it-ive-ness.

went to Kenton's wedding.

always fun to hang out with Brenda. weddings are so much more complicated these days....venue. photo booth. dj. catered food. various dances. speeches. bar. sunset pictures. it was a beautiful venue.

spent my afternoon sitting in a dealership having warranty work done.

then to Walmart to buy a few things. Kevin took me out to supper. Crazy Horse was packed.

Project Clean The Basement has commenced.

some progress has been made. wrapped a couple of Tracy's gifts. attended KJ's family photo shoot. Zerelda wasn't feeling it. Izzy was all about it. the photographer is an elementary teacher that Z knows. she included her, asked her advice, let her pick poses, and after a few minutes, Zerelda was ALL about the photo shoot. from my angle, it was ADORABLE. The Beaver Moon was beautiful. beautiful.

City of Mercer has their Christmas lights up.
