Good morning, Christmas friends. It is rainy and chilly here in northern California. We have a leak in the roof over the storeroom/pantry. Hubby has tried to fix it several times but can't seem to find it. I plan to work on some of my pile of papers that have resided on the kitchen table for a week or so. Dinner tonight will be garlic roasted shoulder pulled pork, beginning in the oven and ending up in our stomachs. We have just about finished up the last of Xmas' famous Italian Casserole. On this second time fixing it, I changed it up a little--provolone cheese, penne pasta, fresh basil, and even corn (yes, corn!!!). I was out of tomato sauce, so I used roasted garlic tomato paste and some chicken bouillon. Hubby and I talked about changing it up again with a Mexican flair. Thanks for the recipe, Xmas. It is really good. Have a great day, everyone!
I skipped church this morning,I was watching the Gift of the Magi and I lost track of time. I knew Brandi was not going anyway and we have guests coming for lunch. I am about to head to the dining room to set the table etc etc... Have a good afternoon everyone!!

Re: We had a date!
Well I just have to give a resounding "I SECOND THAT" I'm not married, nor will I ever, but I sure can appreciate to hear a man, (who is my Christmas Ornament exchanger!) give such a heartfelt, loved filled gratification of his excellent date with an (obviously) exceptional wifey! I can just feel the LOVE! You GO DUDE!!!!!!!

Hi Shellie !! Actually The Santa Suit I was talking about stars Kevin Sorbo and it is about a corporate executive who only thinks of Christmas as a way to make money......He doesn't get it at all.....Until Santa Claus casts a spell on him and everyone who sees the executive sees Santa Claus and not the executive......Eventually the executive gets it because of a little girl.........It is really a touching movie !! xo
TOUCHDOWN AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's what I got:
2 boxes of those variety cards (1 Traditional and 1 Whimsical) that have 32 cards in each (8 designs so 4 of each). How much did just one box of 32 cards cost me? $3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A CD & DVD Label Maker Essentials Kit. Yup, I'm going to use this for the CDs I'll be burning for my family for their gifts!! I'm SO GLAD I thought to add this to my list at the last minute last night!!! (only $15)
Some really pretty Christmas letterhead to go with the letters I'm writing each member of my family. (also dirt cheap)
A WOW Christmas CD I've been wanting for months. It has 2 CDs (16 songs on each) of Christmas songs sung by today's popular Christian artists. That cost me about $15.
Michael Buble's Christmas CD but it's not for me. It's for my soon-to-be 28 year old sister (her b-day is 11/21). See, since 1997 we've had this tradition where every year on her b-day, I get her a CD she wants. There has only been one year I didn't get her a CD but that's only b/c she specifically said she didn't want one. She knows she's getting this b/c she asked for it. (She also admitted to being a closeted Justin Bieber fan but no way was I going to buy her his CD!) This was actually my most expensive item at $17....yeah, I got her the one with the bonus 3 songs.
Aaaand last? I got some food (Pasta Roni, Campbell's Select microwaveable soup) because it's cheaper at Target than at the supermarket.
Anyway, like I said.....a HUGE success and I hope to install the CD label maker sometime today. :hello:

New avatar picture!!! That is me when I was like a year old. :give:
I hope SIT feels better soon
Aww thats a super cute picture!!
All is good here, I woke up pretty late today considering the past few days I had UNI and work very early!! So I felt very nice and energized for a new day!
Finally have vacation (fall) and tomorrow my boyfriend is finally coming over from London after not having seen hm for a month and a half! He'll be staying for a week, so I think I am going to also make use of this week to do some Christmas shoppings which he can help me carry with hahaha
The weather is FINALLY more Chrismassy as the temperature colder today, so I'm totally in the Christmas mood! I put up some Christmas music and cinnamon essence sticks!
Im really hoping that the temperature is going to decrease faster than expected and that we can expect snow very soon!!
Hope everyone is doing well!! :razz:
