Christmas Festivities

I wanted to add some pictures to my post, but apparently the uploader isn't working tonight.

Friday I got off work early because there was a Christmas party in the afternoon and a lot of the parents took their kiddos home early too. I love party days! I ran to the eye doctor to pick up a different pair of trial lenses. I hated the first brand she gave me. Now I've switched to Acuvue and really like them! Then I came home and did the dishes and then decided to frost my Christmas cookies, which  took me longer than I thought, but they turned out looking really nice. Did another load of dishes and then got supper in the oven. Then cleaned the bathroom. Once all of that was done I felt pretty accomplished so I relaxed for the rest of the night!

On Saturday I decided it was time to bite the bullet and do some Christmas shopping. I had this thought cross my mind that I should go shopping in Springfield. Then I remembered I tortured myself last year by doing that same thing on the same weekend. It was not worth battling that many people. So...I got on Amazon and bought almost everything I needed. Now I'm praying that it gets here by Thursday before we go to Villa Grove. It's scheduled to all arrive that day and it has been shipped. Now I'll be glued to the tracking device!

I went to Wal-Mart here in town to get pretty much everything else that I needed and to do my grocery shopping. Then off to Dollar Tree to find another White Elephant gift for the party we were going to that night. I came home and got my cookie tray ready, wrapped the gifts and then we headed over to Seth and Sandy's. The kids left and we got to have a grown up party. Haha! We ordered pizza and had lots of tasty treats, played a game and to the gift exchange. The favorite gift of the night was The Shake Weight. Although I ended up with an Edible Thong. Hilarious. It's strawberry/chocolate flavored. Half of me wants to wrap it up again as a white elephant...the other half of me is curious as to what it tastes like? I'm thinking waxy.  HAHAHA! And how exactly do you put food on like underwear? I AM NOT going to try it, so pull your head's out of the gutter.

The rest of the weekend was spent taking it easy. I've got a cold now, which is once again sucking the life out of me. Just when I thought I had energy again. Oh well. Hopefully it exits my body before Christmas!
