On the road again!

And so begins another holiday. Wahoo!!!

First and foremost, a big birthday shout-out to the most fantastic cambodian princess there ever was....KELLIE!!!! Miss KK, hope you had the most fantastic birthday! Can't wait until you are back in the states in a few short months!

Now, for a little play-by-play.

We are currently rolling down the road, jeep packed to the ceiling. We look like we are moving out, and we have placed all our belongings (every belonging)....in the vehicle. Straight up Gypsy style. I feel like I am reenacting a scene from christmas vacation....but instead of placing items on the roof of our station wagon, we decided to place them inside. I am reporting from the back seat, while Jay and Eric are manning the front. I have approximately 24 inches of space to sit, and about 5 inches for my feet...so needless to say, there will be no moving around. (Thank goodness we only have 1.5 hr trip.)

Really looking forward to my 4 day weekend. Much needed! However, I'm sure it will go way too fast. But, good news.....another 4 day weekend is in my future! Next weekend I get one as well! Yay for paid holidays! (My job should really consider installing a 4 day weekend once a month, for employee moral. Just saying, lol)

Jay unfortunately has to work on Xmas eve. So he will get to experience life on the road this weekend. And while I'm sure he is not very excited about it....at least we will have this weekend to split up some of the traveling to everyone's houses (what I like to refer to as: the grand tour of central ks), instead of conquering it all in one day.

For all of you who's holiday destination is but afar, stay safe! May you all have the merriest of Christmas travels!

Rock Chalk!

Reindeer Food

One of my few (more like 20) christmas projects has been to make some reindeer food for my lil friends. And, while there has been some confusion on what actually makes up reindeer food, the kind I made is not to be consumed by your child (that's my disclaimer :) )

Here are my supplies:

I mixed together bird seed, glitter, and quick oats (see....not for consumption, except reindeer lol)

Then comes the cute lil tag and bow. Ta-da!

Can't wait for all my lil friends to get to use it on Christmas Eve. I am trying to post the PDF of the tags incase you would like to make some of your own. Quick, easy and oh-so-cute :)

Rock Chalk,
Jenna

Hello....slacker

Sorry for the lack of posts, friends. We have had a crazy December. And over the next two weeks, I'm sure it won't get any better.

I spent a couple of days last week on my death bed. So fun. I'm really surprised Jay hasn't come down with it as well. After 2 days, I then got to play catch up at work. More fun :)

We are getting ready for/participating in all of our Christmas festivities as of late. Spent last night on a Christmas Lights tour for my work. (I'm totally paying for that today. lol.) Wrapping presents, finishing up shopping, finishing up making some gifts, making goodies. All of which will need to be completed by the end of this week.

Oh and then there is this Thursday, where I get to have 2 wisdom teeth ripped from my body. Who schedules this a couple days before Christmas? Me. Ugh. SOOO not looking forward to it (and that's an understatement)

On a brighter note, we leave for Vegas in a month to celebrate my cousin Josh's 21st birthday! Yay!

And so begin another crazy December week. I love Christmas, but I have almost reached that point where I can't wait until January so I can take a deep breathe and catch up on....uh....life :)

Back to wrapping :)

TGI...BS

There is this beautiful thing that happens around this time of year.  The air gets colder, it starts gets darker earlier, Christmas music/decor begin to surface, and last, but certainly not least, floor burns.  Yup, floor burns.  Thank God it's Basketball Season :)

I love college basketball.  No NBA nonsense here friends, straight up college basketball.  NBA is too flashy and arogant for me.  I love the raw-ness of college basketball and watching 18-22 year olds develop into amazing basketball players. The ups, the downs, buzzer beaters, triple doubles, assist-to-turnovers, cinderellas, rivalries, love.it.all. 

And while I definitely love my Jayhawks the best, I will watch any team.  I become quite mezmerized by it.  I like to coach from my couch (or a foot from the tv, depends on who is playing, and lets be real, my team needs me, lol)  Jay has discovered on many occasions, that if you try to speak to me while my game is on, I will turn up the TV to drowned you out.  It's like indirectly saying "um, can't this wait until halftime?!?".  Yup, I'm that girl.  Hell, I even upgraded our TV downstairs b/c "I need to feel like I'm there".  So, if you call me in the middle of a KU game, yes, I most certainly am ignoring your phone call.  I'll call you back when my game is over, lol.  :)

So....Cheers to the best time of year!  Here's to a season full of Jayhawk victories, and hopefully a BIG Jayhawk win in the Georgia Dome on April 8th.  Rock. Chalk. Jayhawk.

Through the fields we go...Shopping all the way...

It that time again!  3rd Annual Christmas Shopping trip!  What a wonderful way to spend your Saturday/Weekend. 

Shan and I do this every year (hence, 3rd annual, lol), and its always a splendid time.  Usually our destination is north and east, but this year we are getting a little crazy, and heading south.  OKC here we come!

I have a few people on my list that, honestly, I have no clue what to get them.  (Then there are some people that I knew months ago.) I'm willing to accept the challenge, however.  Kinda like a "no gift receiver left behind" policy :)

This is what I love about giving gifts....I love to listen to them and figuring out something that they will LOVE.  Sometimes its too easy (my mother, lol). I inherited my shopper's soul from my mamma, so a good portion of our convos involve "i saw something here and it was so cute.....have you been in this store in a while....omgoodness i saw the most amazing deal here". Haha...too easy, probably for her too :)

So, let the madness begin!  Shoppers beware, we are on the loose!  Reporting tomorrow on all shopping shenanigans :)

Swipes & Sales,
