do I look happy????

Do I look happy??? Let me tell you about my day. The morning was fine, I got a great walk with mom and dad and a car ride because we drove over to one of my favorite parks to walk. That was cool. Then they put me in my crate when they went to the place where they come back with all sorts of bags and usually a treat (or two) for me so that was cool, even though I don't like when they are gone, but after a bit they took me for another car ride so that was okay.

But then they came back and started going crazy on me. They got that machine out that makes a lot of noise and irritates me as it goes back and forth across the floor and they started moving this and that around. That couch went there, that love seat got moved over here. The printer went into dad's office and the end table got put up in the rafters in the garage. Every time they moved something they were amazed how much fur was under it. Don't they realize I shed (a lot)?

Then they did the unthinkable. The very worst possible thing. They moved my bed (crate) away from its cozy place in the living room and shoved it against the closet in their bedroom. And then they got this box out and started putting together this thing. I don't know why they would put something that I do my business outside at inside of the house but they did and they fawned and preened over it and put these things on it that looked silly, like snowflakes and angels and penguins and whatnot.

But the very worst thing was they made me pose in front of it. They made me sit there while they bribed me with food and they took my picture.

I am not happy at all.

I want my bed back there and I want it now!!!!!

How many days to Christmas?????? I want my bed back where it belongs!!!

it is done!!!!

We did it!! Those of us who participated in NaBloPoMo this month we made it through the month of November!! Well done fellow Bloggers!! Thank you all too who read my dribbles and drabbles this month and put up with me every single day in November.

And now I'm taking a posting break (not a reading break) but a posting break. Repeat after me "I am not deleting this blog". I just am not going to post for a bit to give myself (and you) a break and to get some things done around the house.

Koda's birthday is tomorrow. Thanks for all who wished him an early birthday. He will be spoiled appropriately (he is already spoiled, how can we possibly spoil him more?)

And thankfully, I did not have to hug Bob. Bob is this really sweet guy but he's a touchy-feely kind of guy who gives people hugs when you first meet him. I'm not used to that and I'm a little more reserved so he caught me by surprise. Hubby and another guitarist he works with go over every few months to fill in for the worship leader at a small church in the Laguna area. They meet at an elementary school for their church services. I go with him; its a neat church, they really are friendly and they truly love Jesus and love to worship him. Its a neat experience. Anyway, the first time I met Bob, he did give me this big hug so it did take me back a bit. The next time I was able to avoid him at all cost (by hiding out in our car as much as I could). The third time I thought I had avoided him but got caught in a "goodbye" hug as we were leaving. This time he hugged hubby but just shook my hand. We go back in a few weeks.....we'll see what happens. I told hubby I should just go and give him a big hug when I see him, but I'm just not like that.......

Anyway, I'll be back to posting soon. Remember, repeat after me "I am not deleting this blog" (seriously I'm not, just taking a posting break)

mighty to save

leaving you with one of my favorite worship songs; love to sing praises to Jesus; love to watch others worship him too. (the last Scripture verse in the video should be 2 Chronicles 7:14, not 2 Corinthians 7:14)

off for the day; back late; will check in with you all later tonight. I just hope I don't have to hug Bob.

Thanks Meg for telling me how to put a video on this blog.

guess who......

likes to lick the empty cream cheese containers??? and then usually afterwards he has a white cream cheese nose!

guess who is going to be five on Tuesday?

four weeks

This is the tree in Downtown Disney. Hubby and me went over there this afternoon to walk around the shops and have dinner.

Four weeks today is Christmas. Are you ready???

We bought one gift today. Actually hubby braved Black Friday. Went to Wal-Mart and got a GPS for son (shhhhh don't tell him :) Thankfully he doesn't read my blog. Hubby waited 2 hours in line to pay for it. The cash register was down off and on and that item could only be purchased in the electronics department. There were quite a few testy people in line. I was glad I had to work this morning.

I cannot get into the Christmas spirit. I know we still have four weeks to go but I could gladly skip December and move onto January. I love the thought of celebrating the birth of Jesus; I just don't want to think about shopping for gifts and decorating. Used to love Christmas when the kids were little. Loved to shop and wrap gifts. I would wrap gifts early and then I would forget what was in the gifts I had wrapped so when they opened them, it was almost a surprise for me too. I really enjoyed seeing their faces as they opened a gift for something they wanted.

Almost three years ago, twelve days before Christmas, my mom died. I think that's when my Christmas spirit kind of died too.

I don't know. All I know is, I'm just not ready for Christmas this year. But are you??

just wondering

Did you overeat??

What was your favorite dish?

Did you have a nice Thanksgiving?

And how warm was it today?

My Answers:
Nope, didn't overeat; turkey (yum), yes; 88 degrees, can you believe it?

I'm thankful for Jesus; without him I would have no hope and without him I think it would be hard for me to find things to be thankful for. With him, I have hope and joy, even in the hardest of circumstances.

Now on to Christmas!!!!

oh really???

I occasionally get these emails that say "so and so" (there is usually a name) is now following you on Twitter. I get on average of about 1-2 a week. Funny thing is I do nothing with Twitter. I signed up for it months ago but never got around to doing anything and I don't think I ever did a Tweet (is that what they call them?) So I wonder what "so and so" follows when they follow me on Twitter. If they are hoping it will be exciting Tweets, they will be sadly disappointed. How many times can you say "Koda is napping" or "Koda is hungry" or "Koda chased a bird out of the backyard" without being boring. Wonders if there is some type of a scam with all these emails because I haven't heard of half the people who supposedly are following me.

So here's the thing. Do you Tweet??
