Turkey Day edition
1. Wait! Wait, don't forget the ham, shrimp cocktail… yesterday, as much food as we had, just as much was forgotten to be put out.
2. Dinner followed at once by dessert.
3. The trouble is I'm full.
4. Losing the weight I've gained these two days is many miles away.
5. With a faint pop of a cork, my cousin was hooked —on Oliver Soft Red Wine.
6. The road to this hotel is shadowy and ominous.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to playing more Catchphrase with the family, tomorrow my plans include driving back to Indiana and Sunday, I want to put up my Christmas tree!

My week off
This week is going to RULE!
• No work. :)
• Officially went today and got my name changed at the SS office-not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. Great way to start the week, accomplish something!
• Running errands (AKA-Christmas shopping) Only got around to getting some things for my new niece and...well ME.
• Got item shipped-I made ANOTHER sale at my shop on Etsy (and have a custom order)
• Going to visit family later this week...:) can't wait to see my yiayia! I think I will take some video of the CrAzY family.
And today, started working on the final versions of our Thank You cards.
I have ordered photos from Costco Photo to go onto the cards, I have a small sampling of them, but waiting for the bulk order (bulk from Costco...like that's hard to imagine).
Today I got most of what is in this picture
I didn't realize that the card packs were different until I got home. I got the Cafe ones at Hobby Lobby, but they didn't have more then one pack. Had to run to JoAnns to get the others, I thought they matched, but no such luck, but they'll work. Surprisingly, they were $1 more at JoAnns as opposed to Hobby Lobby.
So here is what I have so far.
Other then that, I really do plan on completing the Yoga Mat Bag. I SWEAR! I'm finishing it, today.
Or tomorrow. :)

Fill in Friday #151
1. We need more food today for our office Thanksgiving party-NOT.
2. Smile at me and it made me smile.
3. If you want loud families, visit the greeks.
4. They yell at each other because they love each other.
5. Massachusetts has a proposed 5% sales tax on elective cosmetic surgery; I think that a lot less elective cosmetic surgery happens in Massachusetts.
6. Food (I'm hungry, can you tell) makes for a happy holiday.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to making awesome pizza with Chris, tomorrow my plans include craft fairing and Sunday, I want to watch the Colts play the Ravens!

Meetings
Looking around the room, I see closed eyes.
Closed eyes.
Not my meeting.
Not my eyes.
But...this is why you don't have meetings that show videos where the video only pertains to 1% of the people in the room (by the way, closed eyes-the video was for you).
I should bring knitting into the office so I can make these meetings productive for me.
I did finish my hand warmies! I need to get photos taken and get them posted. I'll put a photo or link up (hopefully) tonight.

Terrific Tuesday
Guess what?
No Really, I want you to guess!
Are you serious, you think I'd be sitting here blogging if I had won the lottery?
Try harder.
It's taking you so long to guess, my hair has returned to it's natural color. :)
FINE! I'll tell you…
I made a sale today from my Etsy shop.!
Sale number 2 (well three if you consider the handies I made a friend who STILL hasn't gone on and 'purchased' them through Etsy).
But still! Another sale!
I'm super excited and it's got me jazzed to get my but back on track for the shop. I even blogged yesterday on mariadesigns.
We'll see how this goes. Keep your fingers crossed.
Oh! And if you know how I can make the green behind my blogname go away on mariadesigns PLEASE let me know!

On Monday, why have you come so soon!
And alarm clock,
why have you forsaken me.
'Get up and go to work'
'No! You can't make me'
'You are correct, I can't…
but your hankering for purses
and crafting materials can.'
'I hate you!'
'I know and I live with that hurt everyday'
'Bulls*^t! You don't care.
If you cared you'd let me sleep.'
'Yeah yeah yeah I hear it all the time.
Get up you lazy arse!'
Happy Monday (please note—sarcastic tone)
