fill in the blank friday


1. The holiday season is:
usually the busiest time of the year. with all the parties, shopping, cooking, eating, drinking and the being merry it’s hard to find time for oneself! and well, i love it!

2. Snow makes me:
EXCITED! we don’t get much, ok we hardly EVER get any snow in Texas, so when we do get some it’s like OMG!! SNOWWWWWW!! i haven’t seen real snow since like 1985. seriously.

3. The best comfort food to eat when it’s cold out is:
tamales + hot chocolate + potato chips!  or caldo de rez. or menudo. mmmm or pozole. or i could go on for days with this one. lol

4. Winter is the best time for:
being able to wear shoes instead of flip flops! it’s the only time of the year i’ll actually be able to wear boots!

5. I can hardly wait for:
to watch my kids open their christmas gifts on christmas morning! i used to hate christmas before the kids came along. they make it so much fun, now. i love it.

6. When it comes to holiday gifts I prefer to:
recieve! lol what? i’m selfish like that! =D

7. If I were to rate my excitement about the holiday season on a scale from 1-10, I would say I am at about a:
an 8. i could do without all the stress! but i LOVE to bake and make goodies for christmas so that also makes me so excited! it’s just a great time of the year, ya know?

 

is it wrong?

is it wrong that i want to plan my weekend around Delicious, Creamy Mashed Potatoes? because i so do. I think I’m going to make a ham and dressing and the works all a week late for my little fam bam this weekend! I didn’t really get to do any cooking over thanksgiving except for a cake! I’m so looking forward to cooking and more importantly EATING! ha. I know it’s wednesday and I should be doing a “what i want wed” post, but i mean let’s face it, I WANT EVERYTHING!! and it’s kinda hard to fit everything into a blog post. ya feel me?

this week feels like it’s going by so freakin’ slow! and on top of that, I’m sick! been coughing/sneezing/blowing boogs like crazy all week long. i’m sick and tired of being sick and tired! good grief. and then on top of that, my husband and I aren’t really getting along these days. having to walk on eggshells when he’s around is no fun. listen, if you’re not married you should be glad. it ain’t easy! but i have 20 years invested in this relationship and when you have that many years under your belt, you want to fight for it. even if sometimes it feels like you’re the only one fighting… it ain’t easy to let go. ugh. life is so complicated some times. i probably over shared there, but i don’t care. this is my blog and i’m high on cough medicine so haha.

i finally got around to ordering some christmas gifts online this week. i got myself a new coach bag. my husband doesn’t know it yet, but that’s what he’s getting me for christmas. he’s gonna be so surprised! lol and if he says anything about it, i’ll just punch him in the neck! i also got the kids some ds games and some xbox games. i’m on the hunt for some 14kt gold pearl earrings for my madre. sounds easy enough to find right? NOPE. it’s not. it’s annoying me!! anyhoot, let me get off this laptop and get a few chores done around this house! it looks like a tornado hit it! hope ya’ll have a great day!

stuff & a weekend recap

astrologyzone.com is crazy accurate sometimes, it’s almost creepy. this is a part of my horoscope for november:

Mars will oppose Neptune on November 7, just two days prior to the day that Neptune goes direct on November 9, and force hidden information to the surface. You will see the situation clearly now, and can plan your next step. Whenever a big planet goes direct, in the days surrounding its turn, we get clues and information about which road to take in the future.

i can’t go into details because it’s so personal, but I will say that this is SPOT.ON. the information I got is almost too much for me to swallow. damn.

this weekend was pretty laid back. my husband worked all day saturday so it was just me and the kiddos riding around town all day. we went hunting for some nail polish! good times, good times! lol I didn’t actually find the polish I was looking for till last night at Target. and let me just say it was totally worth the wait! Revlon’s Facets of fuchsia is beautiful! and i’ll leave you with a few pics!

facets of fuchsia!


glitter nail polish! <3 makes me happy! 

i tried nutella for the 1st time this weekend! OMG!
I dunno why I never tried it before! it’s delicious! 

i look forward to these every year!
mmm… the eggnog is my absolute fav!!
