{Virtual Coffee}

Good morning.
I am up early, working on my (gasp) Christmas to-do list and sipping my homemade latte
with peppermint creamer. That's my little seasonal addition, I make my usual latte and just
add a dash of peppermint mocha creamer, it makes me feel like it's a little more festive anyway.
So grab a cup and join me, we probably have a lot to catch up on this morning, huh?

So, if we were really meeting for coffee this morning...
You would have to tell me all about your big holiday weekend...How was it...
what did you do... where did you go? And did you over-indulge in all
things(beer, food, wine, shopping...) like I did? It's time for a serious detox on all of
those except for the shopping.

****************

On Saturday we took a little road trip to this huge store that has all kind of outdoorsy things;
 hunting, sports, skiing, fishing...you name it, they had it. This place was huge and crazy
and somewhere I would probably only want to visit every couple of years but the kids
thought it was pretty cool. It is redneck heaven, it really is, and no offense to the rednecks.
Guns, hunting, fishing, everything camouflage.... : )

But there was also ferris wheels, a play area, restaurant, aquariums....kinda crazy.
And some great photo ops, love the one of the kids with the bear and Wyatt with his big catch.
Oh, and guess who found a bow and arrow set he wants Santa to bring him for Christmas?
The arrows have suction cups on the end so I think I can handle that, it's not a real set but a
kid-friendly set.

So, if we were really meeting for coffee this morning I would need to know if you have
started your Christmas shopping yet? And please don't tell me you are done, k? I actually have
a decent start on mine this year....maybe a third done? Which is way better than where
I usually am by this time...so I am feeling kind of good about myself.

But you know what? It's much more difficult with my little side-kick this year, nothing is
getting past her. Oh well, I am just gonna have to get more creative with my shopping.
Well, although I would love to pretend like I had nothing to do all day except sit and chat with
you and drink coffee in my pj's in reality I need to get myself ready and I have a lunch to make
and kids to get ready for school.
Thanks so much for stopping by here today, I do love the company!
Have a great day.
