It's almost here......

I know it's been almost a week, ok it has been a week, since I have written anything.........

Hey, I gave your brain a break.......did you miss me???

Nah, I didn't think so......

I have been so busy trying to get stuff ready for Christmas. The shopping, the cooking, typical stuff. I hate to have crap to do last minute, so I guess you could say I'm a "Christmas Over-Achiever". Actually any of you that really know me, you are well aware I am very much one!! I like things to be just so. From wrapping gifts that make you NOT want to disturb the paper, to making my Banana Split Cake(I usually end up throwing(literally) my first attempt because it's not right and then I burst into tears =)!! I want things to be perfect....maybe that's why I end up screwing up at stuff.....who knows. I am who I am....ANYWAY.....

Sunday I made a trip to my Mom's to drop off my gifts, so I wouldn't have so much to lug around Christmas Eve. Good idea, huh?? Of course it is =).....I also figure by dropping off my gifts now, I can't get in trouble for buying so much stuff....maybe no one will notice???? I have a problem...I hate to leave anyone out, so I always try to get everybody something, even if it's small. I don't expect everyone to get me something, that's not why I do it. I do it because I want them to know I was thinking about them....I know sounds silly, but that's just me.

I have to tell you..I am terrified.

While I was at Mom's, she informed me that she was starting a new Christmas tradition....ok??....I asked what she had planned and she would NOT share. She said I'd have to wait and see......I am SCARED!!! What could she possibly be up to?? I think it would be neat to have a new tradition. We don't really have anything that is unique to us. We celebrate Christmas Eve and I know the menu by heart:

Ham

Kerry's Hashbrown Casserole (he puts orange marmalade on it...ewww)

Green Bean Casserole(my job, that apparently I screwed up for years before they told me!!!)

Corn Crap (It's like the corn stuff you get from Chevy's or Casa, it's corn and some kind of cornbread or something - I LOATHE it!!! But I eat it....ewww)

Red Velvet Cake (If she makes it from scratch, it's AWESOME. It's okay from the box)

Banana Split Cake (My great aunts used to make this and some how I inherited it, I HAVE to make it every year, I guess that's my tradition!!)

I kinda can't wait to see what she has up her sleeve!!! I sort of feel like a little kid!! I know this isn't one of my typical little posts, it's not quite as entertaining as usual!! But 'tis the season and I am quite busy!! I'm sure before the week is over I'll have some amusing little tid bit to share!!

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!!
