So, does anyone else feel like Christmas comes and goes so fast every year? Seriously, it won't be long and we'll be preparing for it all over again only to have it *POOF* be over in .073 seconds like it is every year.
One of my friends on Facebook posted something that made me smile...she said, "Merry Christmas! Remember, Christmas is only just beginning...the three kings are on their way!"
I loved it! It was a fresh new perspective for me and made me feel like I CAN still enjoy the Christmas season!
Only then, I got hit with some sort of tummy bug and totally took away and all desire to enjoy ANYTHING except for my bed and sleep. 24 hours later though, and I'm as good as new!
I can NOT wait to show you our lantern release. CAN. NOT. WAIT. But, that deserves a post all of it's own. It was awesome. Christmas Day with the Mister's side was fabulous. Emotional, but wonderful. Lot's of laughter amongst the tears.
Oh, and...I got a really fun gift from the hubs! Wait, let me get it so I can show you. Hold please...
Okay, I'm back...didja miss me? Gosh, I could've at least played a little Muzak for you while I was gone. What kind of a blog hostess am I?
Anyway...this is my fun present:
I am so excited...but I feel guilty. I'm guessing that the tickets are fairly spendy...and "fairly spendy" isn't in the budget right now. So, we'll see if it actually happens...but SO FUN!!! if it does!
In other news, you know The Pioneer Woman? Perhaps you've heard of her? ;) And, if you've heard of her, chances are you know of the wonderful and extremely popular giveaways she has on her blog? You know, the ones with 30,000++ entrants every time?
Guess what?! One of my friends WON one of her giveaways!!! She Facebooked last night (Hi Ang!!) about how much fun she was having with her new Nook and I feel sorta like I know someone famous. I mean, winning one of those giveaways is like winning the lottery!
Okay, so that's it for now. I need to go replenish some of the fluids I lost yesterday...and no, I didn't vomit, so YOU guess where I lost fluids from. Grody, I know.
See you soon! Maybe I'll even give you a fun little sneak peek at the lantern release before the post? Yes? No?
We'll see!
Jealous - I love Lady Antebellum. :D Hope you get to go.
ReplyDeleteI came across your blog while blog hopping! LOVE your great sense of humor!!! Hope your stomach is feeling better!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're feeling better. It sounds like you had the same nasty bug that the hubs and I had. Gone in a day (more like 2 or 3 for me).
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the lanterns!
Yes, Christmas goes by way way too fast. So much preparation and it's over in a flash! But I know next Christmas will be here before you know it. But until then, breathe....
ReplyDeleteJust started following and you have a great blog and an even better sense of humor!
ReplyDeleteI do understand that feeling of "Poof!" it's over! I blogged about it earlier this week. No matter how hard you try to hold onto it, it ends. :( However, good things come again, especially your concert! :) Congrats to your friend on the Pioneer Woman contest!
