Peek into my suitcase

Suitcase is packed and ready to go.

This is my checked luggage that I tweeted a photo of a few days ago.

xmas presentsI’m hoping that airport security won’t want me to open and unwrap all of my tetris-like laid out presents. I think I might cry if they make me unwrap it all. I can see myself now, turning red, kneeling down opening them all up and have tears welled up in my eyes… thinking of all the time I spent wrapping them, listening to Christmas music and drinking hot tea.

Think positive thoughts Nancy. Positive thoughts.

My way around it, is twist-tying the zippers together so when the airport security folk are randomly checking bags, they’ll skip past mine since it’s a hassle to open the curled up twist tie. That, or they’ll whip out a pair of sharp scissors and cut the livin’ daylights out of it. Do they give background check pre employment at easybackgrounds at the airports? They better.

Why do opposites attract?

Why do opposites attract? The boyfriend and I got home from a somewhat successful night of Christmas shopping.

He just started. Last night.

I start thinking of next year’s presents yesterday — no joke. I’m such an organized person when it comes to gift-giving. I absolutely love giving gifts that I know people will enjoy, and love. Plus it’s fun to see the reactions on people’s faces when they realized I was listening to what they wanted. Back in March. Unless they wanted some kind of raypak heat pump. How boring. 

That’s why having it all saved in your e-mail draft all year round is a good idea! Think about it. Less stress. Save yourself tons of money since you can wait for sales. But then you run the risk of the person buying that item you’ve already got them. Whatever. I’ve never had that problem.hhhahaha…

starbucks-freebieAlright getting off track here. Do you think the Grande Peppermint White Mocha has something to do with the 3x I’ve posted on my blog today? I say it’s a good thing I had that in my hands while gift shopping with boyfriend. You need a lot of patience with that man. But we were out on a MISSION. Got stuff done. Patted our backs. I didn’t get too cranky from not eating supper early enough.

We are GOOD to GO, Santa! Err, somewhat… he does still have to pack. That’s another task, for another Grande..

Posting maven

Ah! Good afternoon!

I’ll be a posting maven this weekend, since I want to take a few days off blogging while I’m home. I’m so very excited for everyone’s presents this year. I didn’t go on vacation with the Boyfriend out West this summer, so I saved a bit more money than I normally would have around this time of year. It all went to presents!

I gave Alfie a hair cut (more like a botch) and trimmed his nails as he made the SADDEST looking face on the planet. Anytime I mention “Alfie want you nails cut?” He either lays on the ground in fear, or prances away really quickly and hides lol. Poor fella. I don’t blame him. He does know he gets tons of treats after the fact.

I’ve also had the oven on in the kitchen, warming me up. That’s a trick to warm up the place while you’re cooking. Know that? Crank’er up to 450 F and open the oven door. I’m telling ya, it’s like having lab ovens in there once it gets warm. Some nice.

I just noticed I still haven’t posted the “Triple F Friday” (Fun, Fit and/or Fashionable) yet. Last night’s post I said I’d do it this morning. But it’s been busy! Stay tuned for that though ;) I don’t want to not do it.

Think I’ll get a shower soon, and start getting ready for the day. I’m still in my PJs! What a great lazy Saturday!
