My Favorite Week

A couple of weeks ago, our Prayer Shawl ministry had our annual Christmas Tea.  I brought bourbon balls again and used the "good stuff".  I also took a big swig out of the bottle while making them - made the experience so much more fun.....hee hee

 

This is one of my favorite weeks of the year.  The whole family has gone skiing and I have the whole house to myself to do whatever I want.  Last Saturday, I got up early and went to WeightWatchers, then went to Zumba at the YMCA, afterwards I went to the beautyshop to get my hair cut.  I went to a Christmas get together at one of the moms that had a daughter on the Pom Squad in high school with Kaitlyn.  Sunday morning I work up early, and before I went to church I did two loads of laundry, changed the sheets on my bed, swept, dusted, fed the dogs then went to church. When I came home, I cleaned the master bath, mopped the floor, cleaned out some paperwork and cut out a pattern.  I don't know where all that energy came from.

 

Kaitlyn left "puppy" with me so I could wash him (trust me he was black).  He has so many holes in him, the stuffing is falling out and he is in desperate need of repair but there is nothing left to hold the material together, it's so rotten. She still sleeps with the damn thing and Michael encourages it! So after I washed it, I put a sign on it, took a photo and sent it to her in a text while she's in Colorado.

 

 

 

This week, I also finished another scarf.  I think this one is for me.  It's really sparkly.

 

I also made a Christmas Apron that I'm going to give to my friend, Kay.  She gave me a birthday present, and I didn't get her one so I'm giving her the apron and I also made her a pink/white ruffle scarf too.

This coming Sunday, I'm going to the Cirque du Soleil show (Joe got me tickets) with one of the ladies from my Prayer Shawl group.  Jann and I are taking off Monday and Tuesday, so I  may go use my mani/pedi gift certificate Monday and relax and drink some wine (Joe got me the DELUXE package for my birthday). The family will be home on Monday evening provided the snow/blizzard holds off on the plains until Christmas Day.
