It's the most wonderful time of the year!

&&& I love my husband because he helped me put up all our lovely Christmas decorations... and never even complained once!

Inside of this card says,

"You always said you got shit for Christmas"

*cough cough*

I cannot shake off my cough.... I left work early a couple weeks ago not feeling well & it's only gotten worse. The cough has been lingering for nearly 2 weeks & it is officially WORN OUT ITS WELCOME! After laying in bed coughing last night for nearly 2 hours I took 2 Benadryl in hopes of getting a good nights sleep. This morning I gave in & purchased some cough drops (they taste better than they actually work). Chris keeps trying to persuade me to go to the Dr, but I will not go. 2 reasons :

1. I don't want to take off of work

2. I hate going to the doctor

So now I'm just waiting it out hoping that it will go away & checking my symptoms on WebMD... They narrowed my illness down to common cold, pneumonia, or asbestos exposure... hmmm...

In other news Mom Codi Nena & Grandad were here this weekend. We shopped, ate, shopped, ate... always fun!!

&&& I love my husband because he spilled Diet Coke all over he and my mom at PF Chang's on Saturday... Once a klutz butt always a klutz butt.

I got this email this morning

Me writing you 1.5 years from now

Hey wife,
Our offer on the house below was just accepted. They agreed to $XXX,XXX since it's been on the market 1.5 years. I'm really excited to move in and have a yard! I'm so excited both of our companys are letting us work from Amarillo. Oh yea, don't forget to call my my mom about the symphony guild; you start working with the events committee next month. Also, don't forget to call the moving company about packing and loading our things for us; we need to be leaving by 8:00 a.m. if we want to make it to Amarillo in time to pick up our new used boat. Finally, remember to make a that cinnamon cake for the going-away party being thrown by all of our friends from church and all around dfw that we've made in the last 1.5 years. Oh yea, did you get that link to the news article about Underwood; sucks that got caught for fraud. I almost feel bad that half of them are going to jail and the rest are unemployed.

Is it Christmas yet?

One would think with this 80 degree weather that it was spring time, but no, it's mid-November. Running my air conditioner inside in November is ridiculous! We have an awesome fireplace in our bedroom, which I'm pretty sure will never get use at this rate. HURRY UP Jack Frost... I miss you!

I'm not gonna lie... I am ready for the Holidays. It's true, it is the most wonderful time of the year. I have already scoped out all the Christmas decor at Target and Hobby Lobby & plan on going to Garden Ridge during my lunch break today. For the last 2 weeks I have begged Chris to let me put out our Christmas decorations, but he keeps telling me, "Just wait until after Thanksgiving." He's right & I know better than to decorate before Thanksgiving, but I am so anxious! This is only my second year to get to decorate for the Holidays, so I am pumped.

I'm thinking of adding a twist to my tree this year. I have a large base of gold and red ornaments & want to add some pizzaz to our tree.

Here are my options:
1. leopard accents or

2.LIME GREEN! I am leaning more towards lime green simply because there are more options available.

We shall see....

&&& I love my husband EVEN THOUGH his closet is a wreck 2 weeks after we deep cleaned it...
