It's just not the same.

I am a coffee addict. BAD. I am not a pretty sight in the morning until I've had my cup (or five) of coffee.

I like my coffee with creamer. Only problem with that is... I ran out of creamer.

So now I'm drinking my coffee with milk and sugar.

It's just not the same.

*sadface*

I wish I had the forethought to keep flavored powder creamer in the cabinet as a backup plan.

Get money back for shopping!

One thing that I hate the most about this time of year is spending money. I love buying things for my kids, but there is so much pressure to give them a "big christmas" that I end up stressed out about what I can't buy them instead of enjoying what I can.

So I think this year I am going to scour the internet for deals, and I'm going to pass them all on to everyone else, I know I'm not the only one sweatin the last minute christmas shopping blues.

Doesn't even feel like Saturday...

I totally forgot today was Saturday. I woke up this morning and after dragging myself with one eye open to the couch to lay down and supervise Ru and her cereal, I flipped on the TV and was PISSED OFF to find Law & Order on TNT instead of my usual morning dose of Charmed.

I was all kinds of ragey and got out my phone, and started Googling to see if TNT changed my favorite morning lineup of TV shows. Then I realized.

It's Saturday.

Charmed doesn't come on in the morning on Saturday.

So I'm relieved because this means that Charmed hasn't been moved, but I'm totally confused because how did it get to be Saturday?

Peanut Butter and Jelly...its whats for dinner.

Tonight is one of those nights when I just don't have it in me to do more than make a couple of sandwiches.

It's a good thing that my kids love PB&J!  

Yay! Boots!!

Are we ready for another giveaway?? CSN has been nice enough to offer me the opportunity to do a review and giveaway for them!

CSN Stores has over 200 online stores where you can find everything from stylish handbags, counter height stools, or lucky for us...BOOTS!

In keeping with the general knitting love theme of my blog... that giving away a knit item would be appropriate. Soooo....drumroll please....


I'll be giving away a pair of these cozy looking Mukluks! 


So stay tuned for the review and giveaway instructions that are coming soon...

I wish it were colder...

After five minutes spent on Facebook reading about everyone and their snow and their subzero temperatures... I realize I'm totally jealous.

Why am I jealous? Not because I like snow, I don't. Not because I like cold weather... I don't really.

I want it to be cold here so I can wear boots and big comfy sweaters. I want to be able to wear the hats that I make for everyone else... and maybe even make a scarf that I get to actually keep!

Drinking hot cocoa and snuggling in blankets is a lot more attractive an idea when you don't have to turn on the fan or AC to warrant the blanket.

*sigh*

I guess I could just wear the comfy boots with my sweatpants and tshirts...and I guess I could drink my hot cocoa iced... but it's just not the same.
