Sunday Morning WLS Express

What a fun day yesterday.  I took off and drove to Winstar all by my lonesome.  I played there for 3 hours by myself then drove to the little casino where Lynnette can play and we played for another 2 1/2 hours.  Needless to say, I didn't win but I had a blast.  Sometimes I just need to get away by myself and yesterday was one of those days.  Clay's been sick with a cold all week and doesn't want to do anything so I decided I wasn't gonna just sit around and wait on him.

Plan for today is to start wrapping Christmas presents.  I bought Hailey a TON of stuff and it ain't gonna wrap itself.  I've only bought Clay one thing cuz I can't think of anything to get him.  I think we're gonna take a vacation instead of buying Christmas presents this year. 

Hope everyone has enjoyed their long weekend and made some good memories along the way.

Morning Train Riders!  Had a great day yesterday.  I finished reading an Orson Scott Card book, I love his stuff!  Then played WoW for a while, then we took the dogs to the dog park.  They have so much fun running around with the other little dogs.  I think they would love to get into the big dog area too, but I'm a little concerned about Nigel.  He thinks he's about 10 times bigger than he is and gets cranky at times, so we'll probably just keep him with the little dogs for a while.

We got burgers from Mooyah Burgers last night and they were really good!  They have a limited menu, burgers, hot dog, fries and shakes only.  However, they offer turkey burgers, and veggie burgers and you can get them wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun.  Very cool!  After the park we came home and played some more WoW then watched some medical drama stuff on Discovery Health.

Today we're heading off to church, then back home so I can put together the menu for a couple of weeks and the grocery list.  We're running out of all sorts of staples but I'm waiting patiently for tomorrow to shop.  

The countdown to my trip to see my parents has officially started for me!  We leave on Christmas day and I'm so excited about seeing them and the house.  I haven't been up there in 6 years and Jeff has never been so it's going to be exciting.  My brother and SIL may or may not be coming, I'm hoping they do but if not we'll move on though I know my parents will be very disappointed.

Hope everyone has a fantastic day!

That's Snickers- he thinks he's bigger than a great dane! lol. We love Mooyah- we get the bigger sized one, cut it in half and split it OR double the meat up and just eat 1/2 the bun with 2 times meat to make it more protein based. If I'm not that hungry I'll do the same with the smaller burger-double up the meat. We went grocery shopping last night at Kroger because I just couldn't handle the crowds at Wal-Mart. We leave in just 18 days for PA to my folks home so I'm counting down as well!

Wow- Liz is driving and we haven't derailed yet! After only sleeping 2-3 hours Friday night/Sat morning, I fell asleep 2 seconds after laying down on the couch and then moved to the bed and slept until 8:30am! I was suprised but I needed it. Then Bryan's parents came and the boys went out to build shape and us gals stayed in and decorated the house. I did most of it, Bryan's mom just handed me the ornaments, but that's okay. Chris stayed on the computer in his room-typical. lol. He did come out and put the snowman magnets on the freezer. I now have my village out and 6 shelves of Christmas stuff-mostly snowmen, the tops of 2 bookcases with more snowmen and a few things on the tv cabinet. I love snowmen- could you tell?

We went to Grapevine last night around 4, went to get the tickets a Will Call and Bryan realized that they were actually for tonight instead. That's okay, we'll head back tonight. So we walked around, got pictures with Frosty and Rudolph and Santa. Ate at Willhoits. It was fun. We'll head back around 4:30 today and get in line for the whole time- it was CRAZY packed yesterday and we want to be able to get good seats.

Hope everyone gets in the Christmas spirit and gets things decorated/bought/wrapped, etc. I'm all done so if you need help- I'd be glad to! I love shopping even when its crowded. I can find great deals. And I even gift wrap and decorate! Maybe one day I can get paid to that!

Hope everyone has a great day today!
