I don't really know what went off without a hitch or glitch or whatever the heck I was thinking when I came up with that title. Mainly I was thinking of what took up the majority of my afternoon. You guessed it. My Christmas cards. I actually got online and figured it out. It's not that I hate learning new things, but I just don't like figuring stuff out. That's mainly why I give Chickadee all my manuals to my gadgets and ask her to read them and then tell me what they say. Sometimes she falls for that..and sometimes she doesn't. lol.
Anyway, Walmart.com wasn't as hard as I thought, of course, but the website was very contrary today. If it weren't for the fact that I kept getting booted off with about every click it would've been great. I got my cards done and Pete had even agreed to brave the freezing cold (soon to be wintry storm coming our way) to go pick them up for me. After I checked out I was informed the one hour wasn't exactly one hour, so I have to wait until tomorrow. Oh well, I've waited this long. What's one more day? Oh, yeah. I had to change pictures though, but that's another long story and frankly I'm sick of talking Christmas cards. Just know everyone will get a good laugh at my Little Ann's attempt at getting my dog to smile!
Although Pete sometimes refers to me as "Betty Crocker", you must know I've never actually tried to claim her fame. I tried my hand at fudge today though. Not so good. Well, I mean the fudge tastes good, but you kind of have to eat it with a spoon. That's ok, huh? It's what it tastes like that really counts, right? So, maybe that's what I was thinking about when I made up my blog title.
Guess what I got in the mail today? I got Christmas cards from my blog friends, Rae and April. Yipee!!!! I knew I loved blogging. I have made the greatest friends. Thanks girls for the newsletters and the pictures!! I love ya'll!! Yours is a comin'!! (you know the story, lol..)
Believe it or not Big Dan was exempt from all of his semester tests. That's wonderful. You just don't know how wonderful. For more than one reason. For one, I don't have to study!! And two..I get to turn in a statement to my insurance company for good grades and FINALLY get a break. (turning a cartwheel..well, not really, but wanting to). And that also means he is out for his Christmas break a week earlier than everyone else.
I'm kind of already feeling the laziness of the holiday break myself. It's so not like me to give in so easily, but Little Ann came home today insisting that she NOT go sing in her Holiday Hoedown they were having at school tonight. Since it is only like 30 degrees here today, it wasn't hard for me to look into her big brown eyes and say "ok, honey"..."whatever you say"....(while all the while thinking "yee haw, I didn't want to get out in this freezing cold weather anyway!!). So, we are going to watch The Sound of Music together later. I think I'll let her play hookey tomorrow too...shhhhh!!
I guess I'm signing off for today. Little Ann is requiring I cook dinner. Of all the nerve! lol.

I'm glad you got my card and newsletter! Did you happen to notice the mess up on my newsletter? Down at the very bottom, I wrote something about having a good year in 2010??? Yep, I jumped ahead two whole years! I think I must have been thinking about Brittany's graduation year or something! I'm losing it, I tell ya!
Glad to hear that you figured out how to upload your photos. See, I told you it wasn't THAT hard! Sorry the website wasn't cooperating too well, though.
Congrats on Big Dan being exempt from his semester finals! Great news! Hope that will allow you some time to spend together.
Wish is was a bit colder here. They're expecting it to get up around 70 today and I don't like it! Afterall, it's Christmas time...it's supposed to be cold! Hopefully, we'll have a cold front move in at the end of the week!
Stay warm, sweet friend, and I appreciate all your thoughts and prayers. They really mean a lot!
My kids are playing hookey this morning, too! Funny!
Thank you for visiting my blog-you can get the words on the wall at Jo Anne Fabrics, or Target!!!!
You'll probably get the card I'm sending in January!!! But, it's the thought that counts, hey? Just like your fudge... it IS the taste that matters. I'd happily eat fudge with a spoon anyday!!!
How does one get exempt from Exams?!!! That's wonderful! I've never heard of the like, but how cool for him!!!
I'm singing "Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens..." and so on... in my head... I better go to bed. Hope you're kicking back in your fave spot with your fave girl and good old Miss Anthony, and that GORGEOUS Mr Plummer!!!
I'm so glad you got the website figured out! You will have to post a picture of your Cmas cards when you are finished so everyone can see your hard work! :)
