One week till Christmas.

This week was my first week on my own at work and it was wonderful. The first two days I was crazy busy and didn't have time to sit down except my half hour lunch break and the second two days were just the right amount of busy.

A conversations I had with an 81 year old lady:

Me: Hi, my name is Angela and I will be your nurse this evening.

Her: Not Angelic?

Me: No but I will answer to that.

Her: I will answer if you call me Brad Pitt!

I loved this lady. She was awesome.

Now for some randomness from the week. I didn't swim at all during the begining of the week because I was hanging out with Paul, lame excuse I know. Then Thursday rolls around and I told myself I HAVE to swim today. I finally get my butt out of the house to swim, walk into the locker room at the gym to find no cap and goggles. Walk back to the car to find my cap..but no goggles. I found them hanging on the drawers in my bathroom when I got home. Fail. No swim on thursday.

Eric scared the living daylights out of me yesterday when I went to put away some pyrex lids...he was staring down at me from up on top of the cupboards. I screamed.

And a cute little Christmas card a friend made, I thought it was an awesome idea!

My kittens continue to be the best non-helpers around when it comes to wrapping gifts. While they may be in the way the entire time I am wrapping, and they may be attacking every string in site they are pretty good company to have around.

I got to hang out with my friend Sara yesterday and it was wonderful. We were at Panera for close to four hours just chatting, playing mancala, and hanging out. She got me this wonderful frame for Christmas and I am so excited to fill it with pictures! She sent an apology text to Paul after we hung out for the present as she knows just how much he enjoys me hanging mega amounts of pictures everywhere. Haha.

Our Christmas card wall is growing and I love it! Cards make me so happy. The one I took a close up picture of is the kids I used to nanny in Spokane, I miss them dearly. The right picture is just some of the crafting stuff I got yesterday. I had a 20% of everything including sale items coupon for Michaels and had been meaning to go there for weeks, so yesterday I finally went! I got quite a few different pieces of felt, some cardstock because I have been low forever, and some super strong magnets to make some gifts with. I also got some sewing stuff and other random stuff that I am super excited to craft with!

I was able to make all of those roses from 50 cents of felt! I can't wait to make a wreath and put them on there! I also made the bunting from 50 cents of felt. I love love love easy 10 minute crafts. And the last picture is Eric trying to attack the steam from the dishwasher. Oh how my cats make me laugh. Haha.

That is the end of the pictures and stories for now folks. I am off to make some awesome coasters (my mom inspired me), and probably some other random crafts. I should be vacuuming the house and cleaning the bathrooms and cooking. We shall see what I get done!

Love to all.
