2008 christmas tour of homes

Monday, December 15th, 2008

I decided to particpate in the bloggy christmas tour this year.  Not that I have any amazing decor or anything, but just because it’s fun to see everyone’s decorations.  I love seeing how people decorate!  The other day I mentioned how cute my hair girl Jill’s house was decorated and even showed pics I took with my phone!

Here’s a wreath.  It’s new.  I think it’s pretty.

Our stockings, I need a fireplace to hang them on.  Matt’s mom made all of these and they are all special and gorgeous!

 When Amanda prepared the potatoes for baking this morning before church I asked her to make double so we could have twice baked potatoes tomorrow.  So we’ll have that with baked chicken and veggies.

Tuesday I’m going to make Haley’s empanadas because I haven’t made them in foreva!  They are tasty!

Wednesday we’ll have sloppy joes because I told Matt we’d have them last week and made spaghetti instead.  He hasn’t forgotten.

Thursday I am going to make a big pot of stew because the weather is going to be really cold all week and it will be warm and yummy…

and Friday we’ll order pizza from Mazzios.

1. What is bothering/stressing you out right this minute? Is this problem something you can solve on your own? Or will you simply have to ride the wave and see how it turns out? In the meantime, how are you coping with the stress – how do you unwind?

I’d rather not say… but I have been a little irritated all day.  I don’t have any specific issues causing the irritation, just lots of little things.  I think maybe it’s just too many activities with not enough sleep.  I cope well and try to keep a cheerful disposition, I unwind by reading or blogging.

2. When was the last time you made a compromise with someone? Tell us about it. How did that compromise turn out?

My life is a compromise.  It works out fine.  LOL!

3. What modern day convenience would you be willing to give up forever? Why would you give up that particular convenience and how would you give it up?

I would gladly give up PPV sport events.  I know… always the giver.

4. If you found yourself locked inside a public restroom stall, what would you do? Climb over the door? Or crawl under the door? Tell us about the worst public restroom experience you’ve ever had.

I would probably bust out before touching the floor or scaling the wall.  :)   How funny!  I can’t really  remember any bad restroom experiences except a trip to the mall when Iz was a baby.  It smelled terrible in the Dillard’s restroom and a woman was sitting on the toidy breastfeeding her baby.  I was sicked out.  I always just went to a dressing room if I needed to nurse while shopping.

Here’s a pic of Izzy and mom and dad’s dog (mojo) yesterday….

Have you ever been to New Jersey? If so, have you visited Morey’s Piers? This is a great place to vacation if you find yourself in New Jersey.  A Jersey Shore beach Vacation is such a fun way to spend your vacation time. I mean, really, who doesn’t love a family beach vacation? Our time spent on the beach was unforgettable and I can’t wait to do it again. At Morey’s Piers there are many special offers like…    their website is the place to find hotels & motels in Wildwood.  Morey’s Piers is a staple among New Jersey attractions with its amusement park rides and many other boardwalk attractions, announces its annual holiday sale. The sale runs December 1 through January 9 and customers can saved nearly 40% on a Season Pass to both waterparks. So many special offers to choose from. Not to mention other Jersey Shore and Wildwood hotels to check out while you’re there. Gift Cards are available and can be applied to any purchase at any Morey’s Piers ticket booth, Guest Services or Ocean Oasis and Raging Waters Waterparks. I’ve never visited Morey’s Piers but think it sounds like so much fun.  If I’m ever in New Jersey I will definitely check out Morey’s Piers. Have you ever been there?
