We're volunteering for a few hours today. We'll be putting together gift bags for seniors who can't make it to our organizations Christmas party.
Other than that I need to hit a store for long johns or something to layer with because we're going to the Bears game tomorrow to watch Cutler sit the bench.

I was supposed to go for a run with a friend this morning but we're both too lazy and the weather isn't helping. So we postponed until tomorrow.
The only thing we have today is E's final basketball game and I have to get a present for p for a birthday party tomorrow. Most of today will be focused on getting stuff organized for our trip to the D.R.!

kwpnjumper55, I expect a photo as soon as is possible via text! And Tman is out of school next week and I will be home, so I expect to be allowed to come over and see in person!
We are going to the mid day showing of the Nutcracker today. I wish I were looking forward to it more. I am just...tired and I want to stay home or do something close or, I don't know. I know I'll be glad when we are there. Afterwards, we are going for dinner which is my favorite, so hopefully I can get excited about that.
Tman's big prize for selling all that popcorn was a new Wii U. We wouldn't let him set it up until school was out, so now he's over on the couch turning his brain to mush. I kind of hate video games. Him and James can spendin HOURS playing them and the world could be falling down around them. But, he earned this thing, worked hard for it, so I'm going to let him enjoy it for a while.

Good morning! I just had coffee a little bit ago and I'm going to make some eggs for DD and I. H is still sleeping.
We have a birthday party today and that's all that's planned. I need to grab more boxes to finish wrapping some gifts. We go to H's dad & step moms house tomorrow for our Christmas celebration with them and to watch the game.
I'm going to make a brownie cheesecake trifle for tomorrow so I'll have to grab all of the stuff for that. For some reason the cheesecake filling that Philadelphia makes hasn't been in any of the stores around here - that would make this so much easier!
I am oout and about shopping and being pretty successful. Taking a little lunch break with my mom. Only have a couple more people to shop for and then going home to get ready for a party tonight. Going to the mall today actually got me into the Christmas spirit wasn't too crazy and it was fun to see people dressed up
I have been wanting to bake all week but by the time I get home from work, I'm out of energy. So today, I'm going to do that baking!! I *REALLY* want to make little Christmas tree meringue cookies like this and I got little star sprinkles for the top, but I'm going to tint mine green and add peppermint flavour to it. I'm also thinking of making little red-striped meringue kiss shapes with cinnamon extract. I wanted to give something to my close coworkers so if these turn out, I'll do these. Planning on decorating the tree tonight with hot toddies in hand. I'm mostly done with my Christmas shopping, one or two things I'll send H to get next week since he took the whole week off.
And I'll add a PIP separately, but my mom's present arrived yesterday and cRACKED me up! It's a HUGE box, but weighs maybe one pound and inside is large bubble wrap to protect the box holding....a bubble wrap calendar XD Mamma bubbles protecting the baby bubbles!
