Christmas Eve Eve Randons

Re: Christmas Eve Eve Randons

  • I was thinking on my drive to work this morning "...man it would be awesome if someone brought in bagels this morning.  I'm hungry."

    I was running really late, otherwise I would have gotten them myself.

    5 minutes after arriving to work, my boss sent an email out letting us know he brought in bagels.  Score!

    Yum.

  • Sweet on the bagels.

    I'm off to wrangle up the kids and go grocery shopping. Indifferent I'm a little scared. It has been a while since I have down a full blow shopping trip with both of them. I gave up on that a while ago and do it after they go to bed.  I will bring lots of smarties and suckers to bribe them.

     

    Wish me luck!

    Best of luck to you!!!

    I plan on waking up super early tomorrow morning to get my grocery shopping done.  Eek.  Hopefully it's not too terribly busy!

  • Good Luck shopping GVSU!

    Yay for bagels D&M!

    I am SO ready for holiday break.  And work is slow, because I assume everyone else in the firm took the day off (which means I have limited work to do).

    It's slow here too.  A lot of people are off.  Wish I was one of them, but I always run out of vacation time by September.  Smile

  • It's been slow here since yesterday. BORING lol. I should've brought a book but I dont think boss would approve of that. Atleast tomorrow should go fast since we aren't open all day and he usually buys lunch and we all exchange gifts.

    Haha.  Mine disappeared by September and I didn't even start working until April this year.  

    Thankfully I earn an extra week starting in 2011!  Too bad I will still run out!

  • We are booking our trip to Costa Rica on Monday.  Party!!!

    I think you mean awesome sauce.  Wink

  • I've had the strangest morning.

    I've been up since 4:30 am, wide awake. 

    I cleaned my kitchen.

    I wrapped presents.

    I unloaded groceries from my mom's car.

    I had an hour long texting conversation with my brother's girlfriend from 6:07 am till 7:03 am.  The even weirder part is that I never, ever, ever talk to her.

    Just strange stuff this morning.

  • I can't believe how fast this year has gone by.   Summer doesn't seem that far behind us.

    This year FLEW by.  I feel like every year keeps passing more quickly the older I get.

    On a side note, I found out one of Andy's gifts won't be here until after Xmas.  I ordered it last Tuesday, it shipped out this Tuesday and isn't scheduled to arrive until next Tuesday.  Boo.

  • The heating elements in the oven went out last night. This is awesome because my entire meal plan for the next 5 days, including the sides I need to make for Christmas. Any who, it's my Mom's birthday so we'll be making a stop over there later. I'm getting excited for the New Year. I wish I had a party to go to or plan. Sad Deeder. ;(

    I totally agree. Co-worker and I were talking about that earlier today as well. Especially this month - it seems like Christmas is "early" this year, even though it's on the 25th like usual.

    Sorry sad Deeder! Did you get any scrap booking done yet?

  • Of course this morning I had a super awesome idea for a Christmas card picture.  Cards went out - in true T. family style - yesterday.  I might try to pull it off today for e-cards . 

    I hope everyone is having a swift work day prior to a little break.

  • I have been such a slacker at work this week. I am filling in for someone (basically doing my old job). With vacation coming up and not having anything really urgent to accomplish, I haven't been super productive. I would have been on here a lot more if it were easier to post from my phone. The nest needs an iPhone app.
  • I just dumped a bunch of stuff on my desk to look busy

    I have the wedding on pretty much done. All the cards are in place and I have a few extra places for pictures but I still have to chose what pictures I wantin there. I've been searching for other items for another scrapbook page I have to finish. I have a friend who is a big sex and the city fan. For her birthday one year I took her entire DVD collection and turned it into a single book for all the seasons plus the two movies. I added scrapbook things to each page except for the 2nd movie page b/c it wasn't out yet. Know that it is I'm trying to frin elements from the movie. I'm searching for a camel and the scales of justice and a few others. I'm still working out how the page will look liken my head.

  • Wop, I love eggnog lattes too. They are definitely one of my favorite holiday treats. I got into them the year I took the LSAT. It used to be my reward for studying. I would usually go to Starbucks, since there were too many distractions at home.
