It's starting to look alot like Christmas

November 26th, 2006 at 02:28 am

Had a lovely time visting my parents, my sister and her husband and my two little nephews. It was really relaxing and pleasant. We mostly ate, relaxed, made Christmas ornaments (beaded and painted)
played some games, did a puzzle and read a bit. We also chatted and enjoyed each others company. Just the way Thanksgiving is meant to be.

I did go to one store with my daughter....IKEA. We both love that store.
We found a few great items. I found some tiny glass bowls for syrup that I liked. I picked up some cookies, ornaments, a nice makeup bag set (1.99) CD holders as well. I love to get ideas there as well. I kept the purchases to about 35.00.

Today it was spring like so we hauled out all Christmas decorations and did up the outside. My girls helped and it went up fast. We did the tree as well. My daughter had her two pals sleep over so I had five girls doing it ALL! What a nice treat! They loved putting up the tree and I loved the hum of laughter and giggles. We ordered pizza cause I was too lazy to cook.

I HAVE to look at all my Christmas gifts for my children I have stashed and decide on Monday what I need to finish up doing. I have GOT to concentrate on me a bit and get ready for my surgery. I have some purchases to make. I need to hit the drugstore for some over the counter drugs and other items I will need when I get home. I am not sure about the help I will have so I have to really be organized. Plus I have a lot of info to go thru. I have a tote bag full of papers and brochures on my surgery. It is a bit overwhelming. I just some time to sit and sift thru it all. It is like nesting for a baby......trying to be cleaned, organized and ready. It will be hard but I am going to try to tie up every loose end that I possibly can.

I saw my investment advisor. He is very organized. He is also very thoughful as far as lookng ahead and being conservative. He knows I will some day need this money to live off of. I told him I had an emergency fund and he told me to keep it. Why pay him he said to babysit it.....why incure fees he told me. I thought that was very honest of him. I know my dad thnks the world of him and I do as well. He is pretty humble and not so flashy. He also explains everything to me in english so to speak. So I understand it all. So far I am very glad I hired him.

Well the house looks pretty and very Christmas-ee. I am so glad I am getting things done around here. At times I get very worried about this surgery and other times I can not wait! I am starting to understand the enormous step I am taking. Yet every new journey starts with a small step forward. It really excites me to think of it in those terms. A wonderful journey just for me!
Have a good evening.

    I am looking forward to reading about how your weight loss goes after surgery. You are very smart to get everything set up beforehand. I was very glad to have done so when I have had different surgeries in the past. I hope everything goes very well for you and you have a quick recovery time.

    Do have one of the kids sign on to your blog and let us know you have made it safely through the surgery, okay?
