It's the Most Wonderful Time of The Year....

. . . . . .Except at Wal Mart.

4 tills open on Sunday! Can you believe it? I know we have a staffing shortage here in Alberta, but seriously. . . That's insane. I almost barfed when I saw the line up.

I am almost done shopping. I have a few more things to pick up. Something for Justin & Georgette. And a few more stocking stuffers for Brian.

I went and saw The Holiday with the Ross family last night. I really dislike Jude Law, he just seems so creepy. And so, the whole time I was watching their storyline, I was bored. I would have liked the movie a lot more if it was just about Kate Winslet & Jack Black. She is so cute. Brian ate like, a metric ton of popcorn. So tonight, we HAVE to go to the gym.

The store is pretty slow. I will have a lot to make up for in the new year. I need to be financially prepared for summer this year. Yikes.

I am kind of sad about missing Christmas morning at Mom & Dads house. I just know it wont be the same. I am not even really looking forward to Christmas becuase of the plans. I know it's unfair to Brian though, so I am trying to be as patient and understanding as possible.

Koho knocked over our tree last week. Scratched our hardwood flooring & a leather chair, broke the tree stand, and worst of all, woke us up at 6am. Grrr.
Now we have a super durable tree stand, I dont think a hurricane could take this tree down.

6 more work days until Christmas.....

Ho Ho Hold On! I'm not ready yet....

Have I mentioned how much I love my husband lately?

I do. He's sexy and sweet. And I just love him so much.

He's been working so hard lately. He put up all of the lights on our house. Not quite Chevy Chase, but close. Anyway, it looks good.

Also, he repainted our red wall. Put up the shower rod. And...best of all, he finished the fireplace mantel. It looks really nice. And I hung our stockings on Sunday night. Our house looks great at Christmas time. The tree is perfect this year (as long as it doesn't dry out). It hardly fits in our living room.

Today Country Living Home Furnishings finally dropped off the last of the furniture we ordered. I can't wait to get home and see it.

Sunday we stayed up late and watched movies. Can you believe Brian has nevre seen Edward Scissor Hands? He has now. And we popped in some old Christmas Classics (to us at least). Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation & The Muppets Christmas Carol. So good.

On Thursday I will start my Christmas shopping. Yikes! I haev so much to do. I don't have any idea what to get Brian. Something useful. And something fun.

I still have to shop for Carmelle, Kendra, Heather & Jules (which will now never get to her on time. Is there such things as a New Years Present). Plus my friends Georgette's birthday is on Christmas Day, so I need to find her something (she has everything!)

I am asking for a TV & Stereo for my Scrapbook room, The third season of Remmington Steele (guilty pleasure), and a couple other small things. But mostly I am looking forward to Palm Springs shopping and going to Disneyland. I can't wait! I think we're going to stay in the park. It should be fun. I love rides, and hopefully this time the rollercoasters will be open.

Ok, Nancys class will end soon. I am so tired. Year-end accounting really drains me (and I dont even do it myself!). Can't wait to hit my pillow.
