I'm sure the eggs were delicious!

I feel for your cousins and gas prices. My son was going to drive out for Christmas from Texas but instead opted to fly.

And we finished the last of the leftover turkey Saturday. So wonderful ....

Yeah, I almost think it would be cheaper to fly or at least not much more expensive depending on when they are flying. The gas prices are nuts and just ugh... LOL I just filled my car up this morning and it cost over $40! >_< That's nearly a days pay just to drive back and forth to work for a week!

Anywho, my birthday is almost here! Less than 2 weeks. I can't believe it's already almost Dec.... this year went quick!

Happy Birthday!
*throws confetti at zee*

Do you have anything special planned? Me, my birthday is in May and I hate doing special things on it. Maybe just go out to dinner somewhere nice. People hate me for that.

Thanks! Nothing special planned yet. Prolly not do anything but get whatever I want for dinner that night. Might have friends over to play cards on the weekend after tho. It's what I'm hoping for anyway.

I love playing cards. My Aunt introduced us to a game called Skip-Bo. Not as fast paced as Uno, but better than Bridge because you can play with any number of players.

Our neighbor gave us a box of chocolates for the holiday. She had to apologize for how poorly it was wrapped. The girl at the counter had never wrapped a box before. It was almost funny how smashed up the paper was. At least it had a nice ribbon and bow. (And the chocolates are delicious.)

We play a game very similar to Skip-Bo. It's with regular card decks, and is called Devil's Hole. I don't remember all the rules of Skip-Bo, but the main thing in both is getting rid of your "stockpile". You have more to get rid of in Devil's Hole. 20 cards per person no matter how many play.

How can you have never wrapped a box before?! LOL That's the easiest thing to wrap! Anyway, that's sweet of your neighbor!

Looks like the big project for the weekend is replace the batteries in the smoke alarms. Looks like "fun with ladders". Get your video camera ready.

I have a project this weekend that involves a ladder too! We can be ladder buddies! I have to get up on one just to get the windchimes down outside.... tho I MAY try to do it without.... with mom's grabby arm thingie. She's short so she needs it for anything above the bottom shelf.

I also did Christmassy things since I got home. We brought all our boxes that we had in the shed (nearly 15) of Christmas stuff, and I went through it. We put up our tree (haven't had one up in over 5 years now), and I made 2 mini trees! I didn't think they were gonna look as good as they do. I REALLY like them. :3 Giving one to my aunt (mom's sister that lives here) and one to my uncle (one of my mom's brothers that lives here...(she has 4 bothers) he just recently moved back home from California). I now want to make one for myself... and one for my driver... and and and.. We'll see if it happens tho.

So the red/gold tree doesn't have a topper cuz I couldn't find any around the house... I'm not normally a gold or red fan (I have red hair so why would I like red!!), but my aunt's fave color is red. The other one has a ribbon topper that we had. It totally completes it with the topper. *nods*

Here are the images they are too big to post so you'll needa click!

Your tree is beautiful, and those mini-trees are cute as hell. But something like that wouldn't last one night with our cat. She loves those things also.

Busy today at work. Had a seminar yesterday morning and the work really piled up.

The mini trees were fun to make. :3 LOL That's one good thing about my dogs they don't mess with stuff like that. However, when I brought the tree in (it was already together) Abby was like wtf and was burfing (soft bark) at me. Haven't had a tree up since we have had them.

Good thing he wasn't thinking, "They brought the toilet inside. It must be getting real cold out there."

We had a holiday party in the office and now I remember why I don't get Italian sausage. My tummy hurts! (But it was Oh So Good.)

Hi weezee!

Staying busy?

Yes, very much! Been working on a lot of stuff outside the house. We had some damage from some storms so we got a new roof and back door. Once the door was in we had to paint round the door cuz he had to move the trim in a ways and behind that trim was this obnoxious color.

Then outside, I power washed the north side of the house (ya know where all the moss/algae grows), power washed the deck (for the same reason cuz it's mostly on that side), pulled lots of weeds, planted flowers, changed a flower bed into a rock bed cuz I was so sick of all the weeds. Oh yes, I painted lots of things too. Now it's getting rather hot outside so I have to pick days that isn't so bad to do things out there. The only thing left is to reclean the deck and then replace some boards and stain/protect it which may have to wait til fall.

I had planned to make a bench out of this pallet a friend gave us and an old headboard, but when they did our roof they left us TWO more pallets, and got another when we got the gravel. That means I now have 4 pallets and a headboard, so I'm stoked to see how that comes out and if I'll even be able to do it. *shrugs* Didn't cost us anything so if I mess it up, no loss.

Pictures!!!
I tend to be bad at remembering to take before pictures, but there are a few

This was black before I painted it
These were silver as all the previous color had faded

Painted a few other things yellow too, that you can see in this pic!

We had this old welcome dog planter that really needed some love sooo....
Before
After painting - After
It now looks like my girls even tho it's not the right breed, I loves it!

Another welcome sign that needed love, it was completely stone colored, and now....
It looks like this!

I had a dragon that I felt needed some love too.
Before
After

Horrible horrible....
This is the flower bed that's now a gravel bed
Gravel bed

I totally forgot to take before pictures, so this is a proof of delivery picture.
This is the deck before
This is the deck after - Again after - after

The old door had no screen/storm door and opened out.
backdoor before replacement
After replacement - After replacement

So yeah, you can say I've been busy! How about you? Everything going ok over there?

Wow, Zee. I've seen the posts as you've made them on discord. But until you laid it ALL out together, I hadn't realized how much you've accomplished this summer. That is awesome, girl!
