Another Month=Another Blog!

I'm kid free tonight and just came in from a run so I figured I would blog! I know Thanksgiving isn't even here but I am SO ready for Christmas (without actually being ready) this year! The Christmas spirit is starting to kick in! Earlier in the week, on my way into work I passed a Christmas sale banner and thought to myself, "I can't believe Christmas ads are already out! That's absurd!" That same day Christmas music is blaring through my office, by who else? That's right....Yours truely!! I don't know what came over me, but I found myself being attracted to every Christmas Pandora station imaginable! Jamie and Nate, the fellas that I work with, are such good sports and let me sing along to every version of "Let It Snow" and "Winter Wonderland", without telling me to SHUT UP!! I haven't started any shopping just yet, although I have been browsing online to get some ideas and I think QVC may be the way to go this year! I really am my mom's daughter! haha I remember ripping on her for buying so much from them, but they really do have some great deals! There's my plug for QVC, can I at least get a discount? Worth a shot! Hillary and Cole are getting super excited for Santa to come this year! They are at such a great age! I think that's why I'm so excited this year. Seeing their excitement reminds me of the magical feelings of the holidays! They have been working on their list to Santa. He is going to have a sled full if he brings everything on their list!

Ricky Stowes (or whatever his made up name was in the last blog) is doing great! I think I'll just start calling him Mr. Big, like Carrie! That's way easier to keep up with! lol We are living far apart so it's a bit of a challange. Big came out for a visit a few weeks ago and we had a blast! He was able to stay for pretty much a whole week. It was nice to spend time with one another. We didn't do alot and mostly stayed in. I introduced him to NC's own, Cheerwine and BBQ! He gave them 2 thumbs up! I wasn't surprised about that! We are trying to plan another trip soon, just not sure if he'll come back before I go there first or not.

This blog was mostly a catch up so I'll try to hit on specific topics soon! In the meantime, I'm outty for bed. I ran 3 miles tonight and really have to try to get up early in the am to do the same since I won't have time tomorrow night. This gal's got a busy social life when the kids are away.
