Wordy Wednesday!

How many words can you find?

Tasty Tuesday.....Christmas Cookies!

Favorite Christmas Cookie??

Mine...Cranberry Kisses.  Sort of like the peanut butter kiss cookies, but no peanut butter.  It's got cranberries in it and a Hershey kiss on top.

Monday! How was your weekend?

How was your weekend??

I finally think things have calmed down.  It's been crazy since Thanksgiving between getting all my basketball teams up and running, hosting dinners, organizing the booth for the Homewood Holiday Lights festival,  and lastly, coordinating all the gifts for the family our organization adopted.  You guys...I'm so excited!  We adopted a family of seven.  A mom and her six kids.  We loaded them up with gifts!  I'm super excited to deliver these today to the South Suburban Family Shelter.   

I was super braggy on Friday about how I was going to spend my whole day Sunday in my PJ's, doing all of my catch-up work, grading, etc.  Unfortunately, that didn't happen.  I spend my entire day yesterday shopping, wrapping and coordinating all the gifts for the family we adopted.  I sat down for the first time at 8:30 last night and closed my eyes for a quick second.  You know how this ends, right?  

So...today is a "don't bother me unless something is on fire" kind of day.  You do your work and I'll do mine! 

Wait...today's Christmas song of the day...

Happy Friday!  What are you feeling good about today???

• I'm only here for a half day today.  Tonight is the Holiday Lights festival in Homewood.  St. Joe's Athletic Association will have a booth selling hot cider and baked goods, along with a Reindeer Food station for the littles.  It's going to be FREEZING, but it will be fun!  
• We're picking up our tree tonight!  I LOVE the smell of a fresh tree!
• Hockey up north over the weekend, so that means a trip to IKEA
• NOTHING GOING ON SUNDAY!  (I think this is what I'm most excited about!) I'm not getting out of my PJ's.  I'm going to make a big pot of soup, grade papers, do a bunch of online shopping, and have the groceries delivered!  

Here's today's Christmas song!  It's super cheesy, but it always reminds me of my grandpa.  He was a soft spoken man, but he LOVED this song and used to sing it to my grandma during the holidays.  I always thought it was really funny as a kid.

Today's Christmas Song!

Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)

I'm a big fan of doing things for others.  I saw this the other day and while I know it's already the 6th, I really like this.  Take a look at it.  Much of it is just being a good person.  Will you play along? 

Today's is donate a Christmas presnt to charity.  You know how you can do that?  Just donate some socks to the NHS sock drive.  We can go back to the 1st.  Give someone a hug or compliment!  Easy!

So...this holiday season, I challenge you.  If you partake in this, keep track for me.  Turn in what you've done on the 21st and I'll throw some points your way.  Be specific, though.

Grievance Tuesday!

So....it's a grievance day.  Mine has to do with McDonald's.  I'll elaborate in person.

How about you?  What's your grievance today???
