It is Thursday morning, 2 days before Christmas day! It is my day off, but I have still been up since the pre-butt-crack-of-dawn, trying to get some last minute things done before my sweetie and I head out to my families’ place for Christmas!! I am tired, and crabby, and I am really worried about one of my dogs.

Faye is getting old, and has constant skin issues. UGH! She is balding – again – I am telling you, it is not pretty!! our vet says that she just has anxiety, and she chews on herself kind of like a nervous tic, but she does it so much that she just makes her skin super unhealthy. His prescription is to stay home with her for a week or so, to help ease her anxiety. Sad! She really is the saddest little sweet dog you could ever hope for. The day that I have to put her down is going to be a really dark day in our lives!! Anyway, she is bathed, medicated and set up with clean bedding, he little sister is also bathed and prepped with clean bedding too!! So, I think they will be fine while we are gone for the next couple of days – I am just thankful that our sis, Alex, has agreed to come keep them company while we are gone. Whew!!! Thank you, Sissy!! 😉

I do have to say thank you to one of my little sisters, Jennifer! I had so much fun hanging out with her the past couple of days, we went out to dinner, watched a movie and spent a few hours painting some salt-dough ornaments I had made last weekend! She is so funny, and she just has a natural tendency to make everything more fun – like she brings a kind of joy to everything she touches!! It helps that she can see the funny in any situation!!! I really do love that girl!!! She is also very considerate, and took all of our Christmas presents down to her place when she left last night, so we wouldn’t have to pack any of it, isn’t that sweet??? No, wait – I am pretty sure she took all of them just so she could shake each of her presents to see what she might have gotten!!! LOL!! I am just kidding, Jennifer!!! 😉

After my sis and her husband left last night, Jason and I headed out to our other sisters’ places and delivered baked goodies and Christmas gifts, that was fun! I really miss those guys!!! 😉 Only one thing worries me, and that is one of the households had confirmed cases of strep throat, and the other house was full of sickies too, they just hadn’t been tested for strep throat yet, but since they hang out together all of the time – it is probably inevitable! I just DO NOT WANT TO GET SICK!! I have already been sick 2 times this season, which is already a lot for me, let’s not do this again!!! Especially since I get an 11 day vacation starting next Thursday. Vacations are just too sad when you spend any time of them being sick!!! 😉 I love you, I hope feel better soon, family!!

On a totally different note, did I tell you that Jason got his haircut yesterday??? Oh MAN!! I know that my husband is hot, but he was rocking the hobo-chic look for a while, and it was getting really out of control. Well, we took him to our friend Keven, and Kevin did an AMAZING job on his hair!!! Jason literally looks 10 years younger, thinner, more awake, and the cut really brings the attention off of his once mop-of-a-style back to his AMAZING baby blue eyes!!! WOW!! I wish I could get a haircut to do that for me!!!! 😉 I love you, you hot, sexy, hunk-of-a-man!!! 😉

I have some more packing and chores to do, Jason is getting his last minute baking done, and then we are heading out!! We have to have everything done by 9:30 this morning – let’s see what kind of mad time-management skills we have!!! 😉 Anyway, I had better get on that!!!

Have a FABULOUS day!!
