Where there is a will, there is a way.

Dear Snow,

You thought you could keep us from having our Christmas Eve traditions. You thought your beauty would keep us locked in the house eating old ham. No, no dear friend. We challenged you, we dared you, and we won.

Love, Me

P.S. Please know that I still love you. I just love Chinese food too.

You tried to re-freeze the windshield whippers but Dad figured you out.

You tried to scare us by pelting sleet on us. We were not detoured.

All for this.

#1, #16, #2, fried bread, and egg rolls.

The boys are happy.

From the two of us...

Merry Christmas from me and my bangs!

If looking at food caused you to gain weight..

Then these would have caused me to gain 5 pounds.

Fact: My mother has gone through 50 pounds of flour making food for people for the holidays.

She is a saint.

Christmas Cards

I usually leave that job of sending Christmas cards to people with kids and dogs.

That was until LJP found these at TJ Maxx.

One of my favorite authors & it talks about fashion.

They were perfect..... They just needed one thing.

Thats better!

Favorite Christmas Song

# "Old Toy Trains" Toby Keith

Like the Israelites left Egypt....

So did the people of Edmond, when the lights go out in retail stores.

So I am in Hobby Lobby for one last visit before I head home, to the land of no Hobby Lobby.... its so depressing.

And as I am picking out fabric for a gift, the lights go out...... All of them.

All customers get pushed to the front of the store, where we waited, all hoping the lights would come back on. I wanted to be like "Do you know who I am? I can still shop when its dark.... I know where everything is located. The manager and I are BFF's. I am not just any normal customer" But I didn't think it was the proper time to throw a fit.

So I talked to Mr. Newberry, the manager & my HLBFF (hobby lobby best friend forever), and he said the block is out, someone hit a transformer. I slapped him on the back, told him I was sorry, and that I would be back.

So I give in and go to TJ Maxx and Homeland. The ONLY other places I have left to go.

BLACK....... All of them.

And here is what I see. People Fleeing... it was hysterical how fast people were moving. It was like those end of the world movies, where you see highways backed up for miles. But this was scarier.... It was hard core Edmond shoppers.

This corner was beast.... but I made it out. I will just have to get my last few things later.... or maybe never.
