Christmas is coming!

Merry Christmas Eve!  Eric and I worked a half day at work today and then we came home to finish a few things for Christmas.  I had plans to make something for Eric and I was super happy with how it turned out!  I found a chocolate mold in the shape of a record.  I thought the text on the record was super cute as well!  I used white chocolate for the text, dark chocolate for the record AND it’s filled with peppermint filling.  I also couldn’t wait to give it to him, so I ended up giving it to him after the chocolate had hardened.

I do.

We hung the Christmas cards on the mantel this year.

We also had a few handmade cards this year! I also like the cards with photos of our friend’s kids on them.

We have a leg lamp. It moved out here from Pennsylvania with us. We put it in the window tonight to take photos and to show it off a little bit. You can’t say no to electric sex!

I also put my camera on a tripod and set the timer so we could take a goofy photo of us with the leg lamp. I had the tripod in the front yard. I had to push the timer button and run to the house…up the front stairs…and through the living room to pose with Eric. We had to do this about five times until we got a few shots that actually worked. See Juniper creepin’ up on her kitty tower?

Before coming in the house for the night to wait for Santa I snapped a photo of Miss Kitten and Eric. We have a dirty front window. I love the look of shock on Juniper’s face. Merry Christmas Eve! Sleep tight and listen for those sleigh bells!

‘Tis the Season.

I sent out a ton of mail today!  And only one item was a bill!  Happy Monday!

The work continues.

Tonight I worked on my Christmas cards again!

All of the cards are stamped and most are already addressed to the recipient!

Here's a sneak peek!

I also have two complaints…

1.  Why is there not a new bookstore here in Everett, WA?  There are over 100,000 people in this city and no new bookstore.  I can’t find a good magazine and sometimes you need a good magazine!

2.  Why do people here not stop at stop signs?  A person born and raised in Everett told me today that they are pointless.  BUT you see…I stop at stop signs when I’m driving…AAAAAND when I’m riding my bike.  Yes I stop.  My foot is on the ground and I stop.  I stop because I know other people don’t like to stop and I’d like to not die at an intersection in Everett.  I don’t think you go to heaven if you die in Everett.  Yes I break my fair share of rules…I wear white after Labor Day…I take 11 items through the 10 items or less lane.  But on a serious note this is incredibly dangerous and scary.  I run and bike here.  I see people walking dogs and pushing strollers and it’s scary that when I look out my front door and watch the intersection, 9 times out of 10 the car will not stop.  I think I’ll become a traffic cop.  I honked at someone today who blew through a stop sign when I was at the stop sign first.  And people thought I was joking today when I said I was going to start making citizens arrests…
