Dang it!!! LOL!!

I missed two days of blogging... that means that for the next 9 days, I have to make up for 11 posts. And I will do it! LOL!
I swear that I didn't even notice that I didn't post... in my head, I swore that I did. LOL!
I guess I should get my head checked out. LOL!

I've had a fabulous weekend...
I've never been to an ugly sweater party and we did for the first time on Saturday. It was a great time... I drank a little too much but no matters, I had a hilariously good time and didn't have to drive home the whole way. Thankfully I stopped drinking hours before leaving... if I hadn't, I think I would have woken up on Sunday really bad.

Then yesterday, we took a group to the zoo to see the holiday lights. It was so nice... something that I hope to be able to do every year. The weather wasn't all that bad to be walking outside at the zoo, but since a lot of us are getting over colds/flu... it was just too cold. :(
But we did get to see some ice craving and some children performing... and we did see the monkey's and underwater animals.
The princess got on the carousel... and she loved it, even though her little face was getting cold. LOL! She doesn't care about the cold, she was just happy being outside.

Now it's the week of Christmas... I haven't gotten all my shopping done but it is what it is.
We are working with what we got and only bought for the princess and our mom's.
If people don't like what little we got them, then *raspberries* to them... not all of us are millionaires! LOL! I give what I can afford to give.

Christmas to me is about spending time with those you love... and giving of yourself.
But now-in-days... it's all about the presents and who can outdo each other in that sense. So tacky!
Whatever... I can't let this feeling overcome me. I need to keep the real reason of the season in my heart and not worry about the material aspect that the holiday has become.

Too bad that I don't have the same amount of vacation that I had last year... not having to come into work this week would have been ideal. But it is what it is... at least I don't have to work a full day on Christmas Eve. LMAO!

Well, since I have to write two posts.. I will leave this one here.

I'm really hoping to make it to the gym today and tomorrow... I am finally feeling better and hoping that I don't miss out. This week and next week are my precursor to the next 12 months.
