December Thoughts-page one

I decided that I would try blogging. Perhaps it will be more satisfactory than Facebook. Your posts on FB are gone so quickly.

I can't believe that Christmas will be upon us in just 10 days. We spent the first week or so of December working on our remodel, getting all the little things worked out. On December 4th Lynn and I bought a shiny red 2010 Camaro with black racing stripes. We have yet to drive it, other than the test drive and the drive home. We wanted to drive it to Utah on the 5th, but it was stormy and they put sand mixed with rocks on our roads up here, so there was no way that we were going to drive it under those conditions.

Earlier in the year I ripped the wall paper off of the back splash in my kitchen. We were having a Christmas Open House on the 11th, so of course we decided to tile the back splash last week. We picked up the tile on the 4th, but couldn't start tiling until Wed. We were 14 tiles short and had to go back to Home Depot Thurs. morning. Installed the last tiles, sealed the tile and taped all the edges prior to grouting on Thurs. evening. Friday morning Lynn did all the grout and installed the light. The grout dried a little lighter than we wanted it, but it really does look great. I love how it makes my cabinets look newer and just gives my kitchen a much more finished look.

Lynn and I just started our Christmas shopping in earnest on Saturday. We have waited much too long, the pj's were really picked over, but I have almost all the pj's for all the kids. We will be shopping fools for the next week. Because we had the party last week my house is ready for Christmas. Everything is clean and decorated. So I can shop til I drop and don't have to worry about the house, except to keep it straight.
