Sunday Morning.

Our household has been awake since 5:30 am thanks to a little two-year old monster named Griffin. I guess he doesn't realize that Sunday is the morning we are supposed to snuggle in bed as late as possible. Downstairs we all came and together we snuggled on the couch to watch Sesame Street.

It's now 7:00 am. Mike is on his way to the airport for a cross-country flying lessons. I'm sitting here in front of the computer sipping a delicious cup of Captain Michael's robust coffee. My MIL picked the coffee up for us as a gift when she went to Paula Deen's restaurant The Lady & Sons. I'm feeling pretty good about what I've already accomplished today too. I already made two pitchers of brewed iced tea (we drink ALOT of iced tea everyday). And I've already started washing clothes. Sunday is my clothes washing day. I don't know why ... but Sunday has always seemed the easiest day to wash clothes for us.

Yesterday I finished up most of our Christmas Shopping and I'm feeling really, really extra good about that! Now I just have to get them all wrapped up and those shipped that I need to send to other states.

A couple of you have asked about my foot. I'm so pleased ... this past Monday I was able to get my tennis shoe on. I'm so happy about that!! I do not have to wear that silly boot anymore. It's still a bit uncomfortable, however it doesn't really "hurt" anymore. I'm still having the problem with my knee though. Now it only hurts at night when I'm sleeping. The doctor said if it's still hurting after the first of the year to come back. I'm hoping it's just deep bruising as he has suggested and needs time to heal.

Are there any Trading Spaces fans out there? I've been a huge fan of Trading Spaces for many years. Especially at the beginning when it was Frank, Vern, Doug, Laurie, Genevieve, Hildi, Pagie and Ty. I've been watching it lately ... but they seem to have changed so many of the designers and carpenters. But there is a rumor going around ... the rumor is Paige Davis is coming back in January. Has anyone else heard this rumor? I think it would be GREAT!! We want the Trading Spaces of old.

Okay ... so I've rambled today ... better get off the computer and finish the washing and other chores so I can get prepared to possibly get our Christmas decorations out later today.

Take care everyone! ~M
