Monday, Monday

What a weekend!! It was a lot of fun!! :) BUT BUSY!! LOL :) Of course, Saturday was the Cookie party :) That was fun...everyone bakes around 4dozen+ cookies, and then you go around and grab 2-3 (depending on how many there are of a certain kind) and put them in your own container. I was a little disappointed with the other cookies there this year...there weren't very many good ones!! LOL :) Hasn't stopped me from eating them, though!! LOL :) Cousin Singer makes it fun, though...she had snackie stuff to eat when we first got there, and then there was the Christmas ornament exchange (always fun, you know, you pick a number, then pick a gift, or pick to steal someone else's...it's a lot of fun! There was one lady who kept getting her ornaments stolen...I think, like, at least 10 times!! It was unreal!! I've never seen that happen before!! It wasn't one gift, necessarily, but EVERY ONE she opened got taken away!! LOL) It was a lot of fun...very festive :)

Afterwards, we (Daisy, Mom, Princess and I) went to the mall...don't ask me what ever made that sound like a good idea on a Saturday before Christmas Eve & Christmas weekend, but we went, and I walked out with NOTHING!! LOL Of course, Mom was with us, and I didn't want to buy her present right in front of her!! LOL :) So, Daisy & I are going back tonight :) I think we're getting Shoptilyadrop something from there, too...HOPEFULLY it won't be as crowded tonight, but I'm doubting it...

I think tomorrow night is the exchange with Shop'tilyadrop & Math & Baby Jane :) (I've gotta think of a new name for her, they DID finally name her!! LOL) That'll be fun :) Then, Wednesday I'm helping decorate a big honken 9ft tree at church, and then Friday I think we're going to SingingPolice's house (some of you might get that...Singing Cousin & SingingPolice are the ladies that sing with my Dad, for those of you who know them, that's who I'm talking about!! LOL All my cousins sing, pretty much, but that's the cousin that sings with Dad!! LOL)

Speaking of the Singers, we went and heard them sing at SingingCousin's church last night. It was good. We went to Marion's Pizza afterwards (YUUUUUUUUMMM), and just kinda hung out...funny thing, though...if you've ever been to Marion's you know that you can feel like you're packed in like sardines, right? Well, we brought 2 tables over because we had a large party, and the party room wasn't cleaned off AT ALL!! There wasn't ONE clean table in there...Anyways, instead of coming over and talking to us, the manager gets on the loud speaker and says, "Just a reminder, you can only put one table at the end of a larger table because of firecodes...Thank you for complying..." He was OBVIOUSLY talking about us, and was too chicken to come over and clean...so Math went over to him and complained. It was too late to clear off any of the bigger tables in the party room, because by the time he made this announcement we were settled, and already ordered our pizza...but after she complained and talked to him, he bustled his hiney right over to the party room, and had all those tables cleaned off in less than 10 minutes!! It was kinda funny, but it was a bummer we couldn't all sit together...it was me, Dad, Princess, and King ostracized from the rest of the group...I know, I know... It was just frustrating...

So, I know you all really wanted to know about all that, huh?!?! LOL Guess I just needed to vent over that!! LOL :)

I'd better go...I've got a lot to do today before it's time to go shopping tonight...I've also got to finish a couple of scarves...

Lots to do...hope you all have a Merry Christmas week!! :)
