I don't know what I thought I'd be getting sleep and not have time to post! LOL

Merry Christmas everyone and the start Hanukkah tomorrow the 26th.

Christmas Eve went ok. We hit up Sam's super early and it wasn't busy at all. Walmart also wasn't too bad either. By the time we left the lot was nearly two thirds full. Was glad to get that done with. We mainly ent for jalapeños, more bacon and lil smokies. We decided to do bacon wrapped smokies. I am most excited for those and the poppers. I will be doing one with peanut butter. My mom likely wont try one. I told her she likes peanut sauce but she thinks it sounds revolting.

i got the orange brownies and brownies done, the meat and cheese cut up for the tray. We bought cookies and a very small pecan pie for my mom and brother. I am glad we are doing easier things and small things. My pouch has been very picky about the volume of food. So I can have a small amount and still enjoy the meal. Dessert for me will be the orange blonde brownies if I have room for a small piece.

sorry for blabbing. I've been a bit hyper for a few days now.

QOTD: have you ever put up more than one tree for Christmas?

our record is 6 in the house(more outside). It was the Christmas after my grandma and uncle had died. I think my mom did it as a distraction. They were beautiful trees that year.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Your cookie tray looks delicious! Rudy is too cute, I just love that face!

Also so glad to hear about the twins, I know they are a bright light for you so enjoy your time with them and family!

I'm burned on big houses. I would like a single floored 3 bedroom house.

glad you have so much family to be around!

Mind sharing the recipe you use?

Good morning y'all!

I've got a busy day ahead. We have to run something to my brother where he works then we will pick up the girls at 11. Then we run to the library where my SIL works to pick up Randall. We'll have them the rest of the day.

The weekend ahead looks somewhat relaxed. I'll need to get groceries Sunday for Christmas but other than that not much is happening. I'll probably not be posting again until after Christmas though. So I'm wishing all of y'all a wonderful Christmas and start of Hanukkah!

QOTD: What's y'all's plans for the your particular holiday?

We're doing a couple of roasts in the crock pot. One for BBQ and the other with potatoes and carrots. We will be going to Sam's to get brioche slider buns and some kind of dessert. Probably cookies and maybe an apple pie. My brother and his family will be over most of the day. I'll be making jalapeño poppers, doing French fries and my mom is doing something she saw on FB, calling it meat poppers. We'll see lol. The weather is supposed to be decent. High of 60° and a slight chance of rain, which we really need.

B: eggsL cheese and coffee

L: probably chicken and a handful of pretzels.

D: completely unplanned. Probably oatmeal

Ms.Tange and a meme.

Good mornin y'all.

Not a lot happening today. Yay! Sleep, or lack there of, was particularly bad last night. Hoping for a nap and hoping we'll be able to stay home a big chunk of the day. I'm so broke it's a joke. So I'd like to just stay home. I think I'm also fighting a sinus infection.

Having a hard time still with the cats getting along. It's so frustrating.

QOTD: I think they are 99% drones. I also think the government knows something more about the volume. Either they are unwilling or unable to say what it is exactly. A lot of people have worked up into a frenzy over it, not helped by the media. There are things sometimes we're better off not knowing. Plus like Grim said...there are tons of them out there.

breakfast was an egg burrito and coffee. The rest is up in the air.

with the talk of die hard yesterday it popped up on my FB feed! My friends advent calendar!

Good mornin all!

Yesterday they discharged me from Physical Therapy. They said they believed it was doing more harm than good. Made me, in a way feel like a failure. It is what it is though.

my mom is wanting to get one more present for each niece. Randall is done. She is wanting to get a few tshirts for my brother for his birthday which is Sunday. Riley's is tomorrow but we're having a small party here Sunday. I'm making by request: chocolate dirt cake, peanut butter dirt cake and a egg custard pie.

since Thursday last week I've lost around 5 pounds. Mounjaro is doing a lot for me so far. I have had some leftover chocolate candy(good stuff too) in my room and I haven't had a single piece. NOT A SINGLE PIECE! I did splurge a bit yesterday and had some popcorn for supper. I'm also losin* my attraction to a lot of foods. I am impressed.

QOTD: I really don't know how I feel about it. I think there is so much we don't know about things. I think it might be possible but I'm really on the fence.

B: eggs, cheese and coffee x 3

L: my mom is wanting fried chicken...I may be one of the baked pieces.

D: i'm thinking shrimp spring rolls

My late Merlin was a hunter to the core. If you dare tried to get the prey away he would let out these horrid sounds. He would eat most of it but always left parts. It was so gross.

Hope the vertigo lets up, that's just so awful to deal with!

Is there anything better than a cuddly pup? So glad Rudy came into y'all's life!

When I was little we had a beautiful kitty named Gizmo. I wish I had a picture as he was the prettiest kitty I've ever seen in person! So glad you and Gizmo saved each other! He is lucky to have found you!

good mornin y'all!

bot much going on hee today. I am working on chainmaille and we might go to Sam's since we didn't yesterday. I need to make a little extra cash to pay my dental bill.

my shoulder is feeling awful, I used a pain cream last night the PT person gave me and boy did that stuff stink! It wasn't worth the smell. I also started the mounjaro yesterday. So far so good.

QOTD: what's your favorite holiday movie? Favorite holiday song?

I guess it's a wonderful life is the movie and up above the northern lights by Mannheim steamroller.

breakfast was PP pancakes. Lunch will be chicken and dinner is maybe shrimp.

this is a 22awg snowflake and the blue one is 14swg wire. Made 8 of the big ones this morning,

Good mornin everyone!

I have an appointment with my case manager at the mental health clinic this morning. We may do a quick trip to Sam's to see if they have boiled eggs. I'm sure my mom has other things planned but I am not aware of them yet.

PT yesterday kick my butt. I feel like the wall someone is trying to throw spaghetti at to see if it'll stick. Every visit has been different in some way. Yesterday he was saying he didn't understand why my pain was rated so high(an 8). It left me feeling really down. So sorry I don't in a certain box...

QOTD: if we have to get out I would rather never have the snow. If I can stay in the house it's great. It's really good for the farmers around here. I can deal with cold but snow and ice are really not my absolute favorite. I hate ice.

B: eggs, cheese and coffee

L: ????

D: shrimp spring rolls and a small egg roll

the perfect mug for some folks!
