Just a moment of panic....

Up and out this morning to finish up Chelsey and Colby's Christmas gifts...Frisco bound. Had my list. Knew exactly where I needed to go and even had it kinda planned in my mind, so I would only have to make one trip around the mall. First and second stop were for really small gifts, so to keep from having to drag around multiple sacks, I got one larger sack at my first stop, then added to it as I progressed thru the mall. After a couple more stops, i had to add another sack Went upstairs for a couple of items, got them really quick and started toward the last store. As I am walking I realize that I left the first sack at my last stop. Panic set in....I almost ran back and luckily, my sack was still sitting there. Thank goodness, was so relieved. Went to Champs, grasping my two sacks, and while looking around, I saw a lady looking at t-shirts. She was in decision mode, you could just tell. I walked around then headed back to the tshirts once more....on top of the shirts, was a Coach bag. I realized that the woman left it....so I stood by it, looking for her. Finally she went up to the register and I picked up the purse and said "I think you forgot this". She looked at me in shock and said OMG thank you!!! She didn't even realize that she had laid it down and walked away. I said Merry Christmas and continued shopping. So....some strange lady is probably happy that someone honest saw her purse and I am glad that someone dishonest missed out on my sack. Whew....we were both lucky!

After I got home, I snuck everything to our bedroom and wrapped...all under the tree. Chelsey and Colby will have to spend the next week trying to figure out which gift belongs to who...no name tags. LOL. Keeps them on their toes...

Cowboys are winning...better go savor that statement and hope like heck they do not blow this lead!

Making cookies...

Chelsey spent her Friday night with me making peanut clusters and pretzel cookies. Becca came buy as well. Fun night with the girls!

Planning on just a couple more things for Christmas during my shopping tomorrow. No, Chelsey is NOT getting her entire list.... Then I am done January yet?

Least it didn't rain today...

Wellie Socks...

What are Welle socks? Google it.....I am going to make some! Made a trip to Goodwill in Lewisville today. Bought 7 sweaters to cut up and make the socks. $30 for 7 sweaters to make 7 pair of socks....the socks are $30 a pair on line. Winner winner! When I got home, I was all excited to show my idea to Chelsey. She was not impressed....why am I not surprised? YES I got the idea from Pinterest.com. Addictive....

Tired of the rain...will it ever end?

Glad tomorrow is Friday!

An afternoon of meetings...

went to the office until 11:30am then was off to a nearby hotel for meetings....then left at 6:15 to head home and 121 was at a stand still. Passed wreck #1 and was off to the races again with all the other cars, only to get on the tollway and find another one....it was just a LITTLE rain, but people forgot to drive with the wet roads...made it safe and sound finally!

Back tomorrow for meetings, then to our employee Christmas party....should be fun. Always surprises me of just how many people work for our company.

Danny and Chelsey were eating cold pizza when I got home. Colby is at the basketball games. Fairly quiet night at the Fenter Funny Farm. Kinda liking it...

One of my "other sons" Jamarick got a couple of college offers today. Hope he stays close enough that we can keep up with him! Ashley joined Chelsey at spin class tonight....I think it kicked both of their butts...literally! Love that they do things together...

Think I will turn in early for a change. Night all.

Hardwood floors!

I cleaned the hardwoods at the old house one LAST time today....spent 6 hours out there. Cleaned out the flower beds of the frost bitten flowers that were so pretty 2 months ago. Our former maide came after a few things. One last small trip tomorrow and the house is empty. Kinda bittersweet....hopefully we get it closed before the end of the year! Since it is all empty, and the electricity is still on, we hpmay have one last party out there...or made not, since the hardwoods are sparkling at the moment! Barn is NOT empty, but that is Danny's mess, not mine. He and Colby get to figure that part out next weekend. I walked down to the pier, and stayed just a minute, before leaving. Gonna miss all those fish that were waiving goodbye...

We now have a dresser...of sorts. I just could not part with my dining room suite, so we decided to store it. While I was taking the screws out of the top, I thought...now, why can't we use the bottom as a dresser, since we do not have one with out bedroom suite? Danny looked at me as if I had two heads when I asked him, but when I got home, the bottom part was in our room. Guess my two heads didn't have such a bad ideas after all....

Lily and Tank were happy when I got home. Everyone was starving, so we just got back from Ernesto's for full out mexican food. Now I am full, dirty and tired...BUT the Cowboys are playing....so here I go to watch the game until I pass out in my recliner.

Love to all, and have a good week! And Carla....I didn't see an email from Danta, but I will go look again now.
