wordy wednesday
First I have to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Julie! Julie and I have been friends for about 14 years… since the births of her first child and my second. Some of my favorite memories of Julie are running around with our babies in tow, cutting class at UCO to eat yummy food, hanging out and listening to music or watching movies… and Victoria’s! Yum! I wish she lived in OKC rather than Dallas, we’d definitely be going to have lunch at Victoria’s to celebrate her birthday. Julie and I are sharing a recipe blog now, which is fun. I know we’ll be lifelong friends because we’ve been through so many things together. Happy Birthday Julie.
I saw the “these are a few of my favorite things,” challenge and decided to play along on my sidebar… I enjoyed the thanksgiving challenge so this will be fun to pick out something about Christmas I heart every day. If you want to play along visit Sheila at Gim’me memories!
Kat has passed along this special award.
I am to list five favorite things. I have so many favorite “things” that vary from day to day… but here are five for now:
~~~
coke with sonic ice (of course!
Christmas lights
keeping up with people on fb
my new cellphone
searching for a perfect present for the people I love.
~~~
I’d like to pass this along to YOU! If you leave a comment. (that’s what Kat did and it sounds good to me 
).
Well, Izzy didn’t sleep AT ALL Monday night. Not at all! Did I mention she didn’t sleep? Okay, just checking because she didn’t and as a result neither did Matt and I. She wasn’t unhappy or anything so she’s fine, but thankfully she did sleep last night and so I plan to take her to school today. I went to Jill’s yesterday for my hair do. Had brown added in for the season, and had it trimmed. I haven’t taken a picture of it yet. I did, however, take a picture of her rotating tree which I loved! I always hide the ornaments I don’t just love in the back but I think I would enjoy the rotating. I know Izzy would!
Well, I’m going to start some spaghetti sauce for dinner tonight (yes it’s only 9 a.m., but it gets crazier as the day goes on!) and then will take Izzy to school later and meet my brother in “town”… I have to do a post on Orovo detox
One last thing..
I saw a bow technique on my friend OHAmanda’s blog so I tried it. What do you think? (go look at her’s, she’s better at it and shows step by step how to)
Have a great Wednesday!
What a gorgeous tree!! I too hide the ornaments I don’t like in the back, so I don’t think a rotating tree would cut it in my house! I am going to have to try the bow thing out.
Can’t wait to see a pic of your new “do”!

Both the tree & bow are beautiful. I’ve never been good at bows.

Hey Annie,
How come Izzy didn’t sleep the other night? Do you think something was bothering her? I know those sleepless nights can be brutal, I lived through too many of them myself. I will pray that you will be able to get caught up on your sleep soon.
How is the Christmas season coming along for you? I know you mentioned in a previous post that you are having a hard time this year. For myself this is always a challenging time, I seem to really struggle with depression. I continue to cry out to God to help me in this area of my life and He is faithful!
Be blessed my friend,
Suzi

Love the idea of a revolving tree, although I do like you and put some of my least favorite ones in the back.
Poor Izzy! I hope she’s sleeping better now.
I’ll go check our how you did the bow…very cute!
Hugs!

The rotating tree is beautiful! I do like you do though…hide the least favorite ornaments in back!

I’m sorry Izzy didn’t sleep at all on Monday night. That must have been such a long, tiring night for you!
