Stalking Deer Again!

Remember the stalker deer I posted about last Winter? Click here to read about it.

Well guess, what? He's back again this year. And this year he's pacing around outside both bedroom windows. It's driving me frickin' insane!

Christmas Part 3

Sat 12-29-07

Well I got together with my Dad, my two Brothers, my Niece, all 4 of my Nephews and my Sister-In-Law tonight to celebrate Xmas.

Only it all most didn't happen. Yesterday (12-28-07) my Sister-In-Law kept changing her mind about where we should get together at.

She and my youngest Brother are seperated, and he really wanted to come here to my house.

Personally, I think she kept messin' around with the plans, on purpose to annoy him.

But We managed to get together finally last night.

And everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. My one Nephew, Montana, kept giving me such huge hugs....hehe I loved it.

The best present I got was the two drawings two of my other Nephews, Jason & Johnny, made for me.

I absolutely love them.

Christmas part 2

Well We're back home from my Aunt & Uncle's house now.

Christmas was good.

My one Cousin couldn't stay on Xmas Day and eat dinner with us that night, because he and his girlfriend were going to have dinner with her family....I know, I know, and I'm only complaining a little lol lol.

I had a discount ticket to see National Treasure 2, so we did that tonight, cause the ticket was only good until 12-28-07.

It was really good.

New Years Layout is up lol as you can see.

Sunday at my Aunt & Uncle's I did some baking. I baked a chocolate cheese cake, Georgia Cookie Candy.

On Monday (Xmas Eve) I made the Pumpkin Pie.

My Uncle normally makes the Pumpkin Pie, but he got called out to work, so I made it.

Christmas Weekend

Well I'm at my Aunt & Uncle's house for Xmas. We were originally gonna come today but on Friday they predicted a major snow storm for our area, for today. So we came here yesterday instead.

Boy I'm glad we did too. If we hadn't have left yesterday, there's no way we'd have left today....it's doubtfull we'd have been able to come here tomorrow either.

Sick

ARGH! I have a cold!

I've still got presents to wrap, shopping to do, baking to do, and I get a cold...just perfect!

This couldn't have happened at a worse time.

Christmas

Well on Friday my Mom came home early from work cause she was sick.

She felt better yesterday so we when Christmas shopping and saw Alvin And The Chimpmunks (that movie is awesome!). Didn't get all my xmas shopping done yet lol I got one more present to buy.

Today I did my best to finish decortating the house. Not all the decorations are up, but some are up, lol so I'm quiting.

Christmas

Did some more Xmas shopping tonight.
I'm all most done now. I should be able to finish it up on Sat. LOL I hope.

Xmas

Well I have a little, tiny bit of Xmas shopping done.
We got the lights around the porch, up yesterday.

Today we got the villiage up on the mantel and we got the tree up.
No lights or ornaments yet, we'll get to it though lol.

Snowblower still isn't fixed. The guy never came this week to pick it up. Now he's supposed to come this Tues to get it.
I hope we don't have to hire someone to plow us out again.

Bad Ribs & Snow

Well the guys we hired to blow out the driveway finally came around 5am this morning.
My ribs were hurting so bad from when I had to carry my computer to the car and from the car into the shop, and back, that I had to go into the chiropractor this morning.
I feel much much better now :-D.

I hope to God one of my Grandma's neighbors blew her sidewalks for her, so I don't have to shovel them.
As it is, I'll have to shovel the little sidewalk that goes from the sidewalk to the street. Cause my Grandma's neighbor never plows that.
But doing that won't be as bad as doing that, plus the sidewalks too.

The temperature is dropping, it was 17 above when my Mom left for work around 7am, and it's now 13 above. LOL and my Grandma wants to go grocery shopping around 3pm today. LOL she keeps saying "It'll be warmer by then." LOL.
I hope she's right LOL.

First Snow Part 2

Well the guys we called to come blow us out never came.
I hope they get here bright and early tomorrow, otherwise my Mom won't be able to get out to go to work.

First Snow

Well it snowed enough yesterday that we had to use the snowblower to get out of the driveway today.

There was only one problem.....the snowblower wouldn't start!

We called someone to come blow out the driveway for us. But they haven't come yet.

Least it's not snowing any more. But it's supposed to start again on Tuesday.

Tomorrow we'll call someone to come pick up the snowblower to fix it. But i highly doubt we'll have it back by Tuesday.

So if it does snow again on Tuesday, I hope it's not a lot of snow, so I can shovel it. Cause hiring someone to blow out the driveway is expensive.

Snow Storm

It's snowin' like hell.

Has been all day.

More Snow, Death & Computer Problems

Well this morning I got up and the ground was totally covered in a light dusting of snow.

And we're under a major winter weather advisory for this weekend. Could get lots and lots and lots of snow this weekend.

Winter Layout is coming soon.

And RIP Evel Knevil, greatest daredevil in the world.

Also this week my computer was making a funny noise, so I took it in to be repaired.
There was nothing wrong with it, thank goodness.
That computer is so darn heavy, carrying it, hurt my bad ribs.

Snow

There's a tiny, little bit of snow on the ground.

It's mainly around the edges so to speak. You know where the grass comes up against the road.

I guess that means Winter is finally here.

Thanksgiving!

Wed. 11-21-07

Well today I did my baking for tomorrow. I made Apple Cinnamon Bread and Georgia Cookie Candy.

Thanksgiving 11-22-07

Happy Thanksgiving.

Well it turns out my Apple Cinnamon Bread wasn't completely done. I don't understand it. The toothpick came out clean when I tested the bread. But after the first slice, the center of the bread was still dough.

My Georgia Cookie Candy was a big hit though.

Everyone was here. Today was a very good day.

Friday 11-23-04

Well it's a tradition in our family to go shopping the day after thanksgiving. So we did a little shopping this afternoon. In years past, we've gotten out at 5am when the stores opened. But we didn't do that this year.

My cousins went back home today, but my Aunt and Uncle stayed.

Sat. 11-24-07

My Aunt and Uncle went home this morning.

LOL we watched the movie Deck The Halls, it's very good.
But after watching it, we had this uncontrolable urge to put up our outside xmas lights. LOL.

So we got them out of the basement. But there was one broken bulb and several bulbs that just didn't light any more.

So we went out to buy more bulbs. LOL by the time we got back, it was too cold to do anything outside so we decided to wait.

Funeral (11-16-07)

Well today was my Aunt's funeral.
My other Aunt, emailed this morning to let me know that my flowers did finally arrive yesterday.

Goodbye Aunt E.

Aunt's Funeral (11-16-07)

Well today was my Aunt's funeral.

My other Aunt emailed to let me know that my flowers finally did arrive yesterday.

Goodbye Aunt E.

Flowers For the Funeral & Viewing (11-15-07)

Well the florist in California wasn't too bright.
When I ordered the flowers yesterday I had them sent to where the viewing of my Aunt's body was going to be today.
When the florist in California got the order, they looked at the obit in the paper, and since there was not viewing times listed, they just decided to wait and deliever the flowers to the church tomorrow (11-16-07)
Even though in the obit it says that all flowers should be sent to where the viewing was today!

After about 4 phone calls, I was finally told that they get my flowers over there right away. The lady seemed really nice about it. And I'm not really all that mad at her....

I'm thinking of calling my Dad or someone tomorrow morning before the funeral and see if my flowers were really delievered yesterday or not....cause if they weren't.....I'm gonna be super pissed off.

Aunt's Funeral

Well my Aunt, the one in California who died, her viewing is tomorrow afternoon, and her funeral is Friday.

I went and ordered flowers today, to be sent to the chaple, I hope they get there by tomorrow.

I can't go to her funeral, no matter how much I would like to.....I can't afford to go all the way out to California.

Another Aunt has promised to send me a couple of the Memorium cards that they have that the funeral home.

I've been online and printed out a copy of her obit in the California newspaper.

And my Aunt has promised lots of pictures.

My Dad and Uncle and their wives are in California now, for the funeral.

I guess that will have to do.....
