Wrap it up Woo Hoo Wednesday Express

Hey You Guys!

My wrapping paper is a hodge podge of stuff. I have everything from Disney princesses and Tigger(go figure!) to Hannukah wrap. I have bags and bows and tissue paper galore. Every year I buy about 5 rolls and add to the collection. Right now there are probably about 20-30 rolls in the wrapping paper organizer. Sadly, I haven't had time to wrap anything to put under the tree yet.
I don't think I have a WLS wohoo for the day. I gained 20lbs when I started a new medication in the summer. I have since lost 10 of that, the other 10 is holding on pretty tight. Life has been really good in all other aspects though. I was a little concerned about buying Christmas for four kids (who all have expensive taste!) but I should have never been worried. Somehow it all worked itself out. I feel like the story about the widow feeding Elijah...and how she kept feeding him and there was always more. She just went by faith that it would all be ok.

Kaylee and I looked at her graduation pictures last night. There were 8 poses total. The cheapest package was around $200-300 for one pose and very little pictures. I ended up buying the folio so I could figure out exactly what I want to buy. Her dad is planning on doing a high end fashion shoot with her pretty soon. She is going to get her hair and makeup done and she wants vintage clothing. She was looking at Betsy Johnson dresses and pill box hats. The folio has her pictures in her cap and gown and shawl. This shoot will be her "fun" shots. I bought her announcements a few weeks ago. Her ring is about to come in. We have plans to go to NYC to buy her prom dress over spring break. Being a senior parent is NOT cheap! Everytime I think we are about caught up on the very last thing that she could need she comes home with another flyer for something.  And to top it all off..... this morning when I dropped her off, she muttered under her breath.....  "gosh I hate this place". I told her that in a few very short years she will look back and think that SOME of these times will be some of the best of her life, and like a surly teenager she just rolled her eyes and headed for the front door of the school. 

Gotta get some work done! 
Love you guys!

I had my big Woo Woo yesterday but everyday is full of surprizes! We don't give gifts anymore, just no family left and my good friends all get hand made things. BUT when I used to wrap lots of gifts I liked any color of shiny foil and BIG fancy bows. The wrapping was as much fun as the gift! Or I went off on the other end of the scale and made my own wrapping from newspapers, brown shipping papper or white butcher paper. I still get a big 64ct box of Crayola's every year (I love the smell!) so I'd just go nuts and let my imagination run wild!

Danni....tell Tim Happy Birthday! And yeah....when you put my inches lost as over a yards, that's really something!

Merry Christmas, Everyone!
