Hot Hot Hot

So last night is the first night we have turned on the heat for the home.  It has been a balmy 80+ degrees here for most of December.  I was remarking to the neighbor that it doesn't seem like Christmas with it as hot as it is.  No worries it has made a 180.  When I went to bed last night it was in the 60's this morning it was 15 with the wind chill. However, it is supposed to be back up in the 60's by the end of the week and we are almost half way thru the month.  No complaints here.  I can keep rockin' my shorts....

MOOO

Yes, it is that time of year. Mom and dad were gracious enough to bring the beef all the way to my house. It filled the freezer but I have to share.  I figure if my sisters don't get theirs by Christmas I'll start dining on their share I'll implement the nosh on yours before mine rule.... So Where's the beef? At my house of course!!!!

Look who I met in ATL

If you guessed the Coca-Cola polar bear you would have it right!  He blinked and opened and closed his mouth. I was also told that he is a robot. Not sure one way or the other. It was fun all the same. So Have a coke and a smile!!

Safe for Dinner at my house

We all know of the coleslaw incident of 2010.  I decided that it was time to try to have the neighbors over again. I did not serve coleslaw this time much to the thanks of the neighbors as well as their kids.  When I made the invite to have everyone over to eat, the neighbor son asked me Miss M you aren't going to serve coleslaw are you? I said "no" and he said that it would be fine for his parents to accept the invitation.  We all got a good laugh at that.  So I served hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, salsa, and baked beans. Only had a few burgers and hot dogs left over so I would say a good turn out.  The one thing that made it even better is that no one got sick.  I am now allowed to have the parties at my house according to the neighborhood.  Party on Ya"ll!!!

You can get everything at Wal-Mart

Apparently you can get everything at Wal-Mart, including children.... I just finished my shopping and went to the parking lot. I spied a family trying to get their son out of the bed of their truck.  He was running around laughing. I smiled great big and the mom was exasperated she said "if you can get him out of the back you can have him."  So I went over to the bed and said " come here it's time to go, let's get a move on..." The two year old came right over and put his little arms up for me to pick him up.  His dad said here's a hundred if you take him while laughing. His mom was saying NO NO NO. I was just kidding. I knew that they were joking and I gave the kid a treat.  His mom also said that he had never went to someone that he didn't know.  I let her know that I am a pied piper of kids or baby whisperer if you will.  All in all it was a good shopping trip I even save $20.00 in coupons.

Cuddles, Cuddles and more Cuddles

Today was girl luncheon at our house. Hubby was kind enough to hide in the office while the girls and their girls were at the house. He did commendeer the first baby through the door though. He kept her until the others got to the house.  I got lots of cuddles with two different babies and one 3 year old. Fun was had by all and I sure am worn out.  ( No diaper changes for me so the best of best. Playing with the babies and giving them back.) 

Red Nails

So I got bored yesterday and decided to paint my nails.  Here is the result. Red was the color of choice. I started with pink and decided to go with something a little more racy.  There is just something about long red nails.  Maybe next week I will do some designs or something fun but for today it was just straight up red!  Here's to seeing red.....
