Surprise Surprise I Can See it in Your Eyes!!!

This weekend has just been full of surprises, and they have been nice surprises. My Moore County "girlfriends" sent me a super package in the mail, and I received it on Saturday. It is full of candy, stickers, a book and bubbles. I had to laugh at the bubbles. The reason for the chuckle on the bubbles, is because I always say that it isn't a party unless you have bubbles. I got 4 tubes of bubbles, so now I can party hard. I actually partied today with Macey with one tube. What fun to watch a 2 year old chase and try to catch bubbles. It was a delight to outside and spend some time with her. Children just take stress away as you listen to their laughter and their wonder over the simple things. Note to self: Chickens don't like it when you blow bubbles at them. Macey and I found that out today. LOL

My box of goodies from Joann, Jodi, Jennifer and Erin....you girls rock!!!!

I think my "girlfriends are trying to spoil me. I know that I am not spoiled, so someone must do the job. LOL We ate lunch with Joann and her family today, which by the way was delicious. It was down home cooking with pintos full of ham and homemade everything. I made a pig of myself...I am glad that Mark had not preached on glutton today. LOL After lunch I was presented with another present. This time it contained Pleasures Perfume, Bath and Body lotion and note cards. 3 of my favorite things. You guys have helped make my last 30 something birthday fantastic.

My present today from the Awesome Foursome!!!

Celebration Time!!!

Today started the birthday month. That is right...we celebrate the whole month of February for my birthday. After all, it is such a short month. I have some sort of surprise everyday of the month for my birthday. It can be a gift, card, act of kindness or just sweet words. I love this idea...I think it is the only child coming out in me. Tonight I went to Atlanta Bread, one of my favorites, and I got a double chocolate cupcake. YUM YUM!!! A great start to the birthday month celebration. By the way, my actual birthday is the 8th.

Mail Call!!!

Today in keeping with the "Mitzvah" theme this month, I am heading to the post office. I have 2 packages to mail. They are going to 2 of the sweetest little girls. One is getting a Christmas count down puzzle. It is so cool. It starts with Dec 16th and goes through the 25th. You remove a piece of the puzzle everyday. This little girl loves puzzles, so it was perfect. I popped in The Learning Express, and came out with presents. The other little girl is getting a CD. Not just any ordinary CD. This has songs on it that has her name in the songs. That is cool. I know she will like it because she loves music. Can't wait to hear how they both liked their gifts.


Now for some sad news. We have had a death in our family...my laptop said goodbye to us Friday morning. Seriously, it is like a death. A part of me was missing Friday. First thing every morning I turn that computer on. Went to Costco's Friday night and bought a new one. So, guess what Mark and Tracey got for Christmas. Also, our microwave has said goodbye to us as well. No complaints there it is about 20 years old and has been moved like 10 times. Microwave grave yard for it now.

We spent most of yesterday in town shopping. Went to Best Buy for a stereo that we can carry around. Actually got one that will play our MP3 player as well. Listened to lots of Christmas music, and that has really gotten me in the Christmas Spirit.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good day.
