I use to have too much of that stuff when I was younger but simplified everything! It was ridiculous that I had so much make up, clothes and shoes. I didn't use or wear half of it. I keep it simple now and cut back on how much stuff I have. It's easier to keep up with!

You better get yourself a small cabinet for your 3 things! :lol:

She'll just take that over too. cheesy

Hey, Hallmark Christmas movie fans!!!!!

I finally sat down and watched a Hallmark Christmas movie I recorded all the way back in November, "Pete's Christmas." I really enjoyed it.

I have never had much luck liking the Hallmark movies, but this one was a lot like "Groundhog Day."

I may have to see if it is available on DVD. cheesy

Baby steps, baby steps. I have a few more I recorded on there I will have to watch.

I've added this into my app!! Thanks Xmas

Stop reminding me about under the bed. It doesn't exist! :lol:

I bet if I got under my bed there probably isn't that much and won't take long to clean but just not up to finding out! Ha ha!

LOL!!!! I doubt yours would be as bad as mine!! My bedroom is pretty small. So in order for my queen size bed to fit, it has to be pushed up against one of the walls. To get at everything underneath of it then, I have to tear off that mattress and box springs.

Where'd my tree go?!!!

This is where my tree was standing for the last 47 days.

Looks so empty in here without it.

Santa is there for a little while, I can't remember what we had on top of the electric fireplace before Christmas.

The Santa I won on Ebay came in yesterday, here is what he looks like.

It is called "Joy To The World."

My modest collection is now up to 15, not counting the smaller tree ornaments.

I keep out three lit rustic trees year round. It started with one, then two, and now three! They are pencil trees that I bought in a set. They remind me of Christmas, too!

This is the medium sized one.

I have a little 3 foot pre-lit tree that I plan on keeping out when my house is finished!

I'm joining you in the organizing and staying that way!!! It's the closets and underneath the beds for me. I've been slowly working on it and have the bathroom closet and my bedroom closet done. Still working on underneath my bed. Next is mom's room and then the coat closet.

Good luck with your mom's room! :lol:

Good morning.

I'm still checking my pulse this morning after my mishap driving on in to work. The traffic was heavy, a misty rain was falling and the traffic was doing about 60 in a 65 and when all of a sudden the cars in front of me slammed on their brakes. I hit mine, and slid, I was heading into the back of another car, I took my foot off the brakes, swerved, missed the rear of the car in front of me by about a foot. I then turned the wheel again, but nothing since I was then off road in the mud and I hit the guard rail.

I bounced off and stopped. The truck lights are hanging down off the truck, fender and front left side of the truck is damaged. But, I didn't hit the kid in front of me... he did pull over to make sure I was ok, (nice of him). I told him I was ok, and that it was not his fault and I thanked him for pulling over to check on me....

I just glad I didn't run into the back of someone else and that no one got hurt. the truck can be fixed, no big deal~

So glad to hear you were okay and that no one else was hurt.

Sending get well wishes for DS, praying it isn't the flu!
Sleep well Sugar.

Thanks, HmG. His temp is back up to 101. He hasn't had a fever since early this morning, so I think it sounds like a viral infection, but I will keep an eye on him and if it doesn't go down, he will go to the doctor in the morning. His temp wouldn't have stayed down like this all day, if it was the flu. I know typically fevers do get worse at night, but even with the flu, a classic symptom is a high temp, so I don't think it's that or I hope not.

I had to go pick up JP from school, he wasn't feeling well. He is with me watching one of his favorite movies, "Real Steel" He seems to be feeling better now, but I will have to keep an eye on him.

We have to pick up Little Casanova soon. cheesy

I hope JP isn't coming down with anything!

Thanks, sugar! We are!!

Bless Adrian's heart, he's been helping to push a lot of cars that have gotten stuck. 8 inches of snow here, and the plows have yet to come by =( There's a lot of blowing & drifting snow, too- with 30 mph winds. And it's getting cold! Brr! I have the fireplace going, and have just started dinner.
