Christmas lights....

Finally got the outside lights put up on the house and the trees!....Can't believe i did that all by myself....It was an all day job yesterday...The biggest task was untangling that huge mess ball of lights...LOL.....

You shoulda seen me...I got super mad and at times wanted to throw that ball and give up....haha..i said a lot of bad words!....but i kept on...and after getting out the ladder,nails,hammer...climbing up really high in the air and balancing myself...i managed....lol..Looks really good i think...i know i live out in the middle of nowhere and not many people will see my lights..but hey, who cares! i will see them and the few cars that straggle on down the road by the gates will see them....and my friends/fam will see them....I LOVE decorating for Christmas!

anyhow....Been busy today...really tired....Did all the work i could get done around this place early by 8am then took Grandma in for her eye appointment in town ..etc.....It makes me feel great to take her places and help her and my Grandpa out with things like that...But one thing i do know---Old cowboys are stubborn/hard-headed,independent, and have a mind of their own..you don't try to tell them what to do..don't even recommend "better" ideas to them....it's his way or the highway...THAT is my Grandpa...Haha..Love you Grandpa!....i'm A LOT like you..i do know this.

when i finally got home this evening after all that errand running i took a shower then i made Oatmeal Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies...Really good..i even was nice enough and made my brother cookies...they're his fave.....lol....Think i will try to make a pizza here at home from scratch tomorrow for my friends...cooking is kinda fun ya know?

thoughts on my mind right now---random.

rustic wrapping paper for a family of cowboys?...would it look too plain like a paper bag for wrapping paper?....i like color though..

should i get those boots i want online?

get morgan a present!!!

put trash out tomorrow.

help work on float.

sooooooosleeeeeepy.

nite.

Black friday..cyber monday.....

Well, Thanksgiving was ok i guess....wasn't too many of us..other family that we all really wanted to see more than anything...well....they didn't get to come home for Thanksgiving....*sad face*...my heart broke when i found out that they weren't going to be there....God i miss them all sooooo much!!!...there's always Christmas....*fingers crossed*
 
The rest of the fam----we all had a great dinner..wasn't very eventful and i had to try to make it through one dinner with a fake smile on my face because obviously some of my super snooty relatives were there....yeah...so i had that fake smile on my face the whole time at that dinner....thanksgiving 2012 is over thank the lords!...lol...
 
Did go Black Friday it was an event crazier than any other time i have went before...and the mall....let's just say...WOW...like a pack of rabid coyotes!----all those people....push/shove/yelling at everyone....i'm sure they had a few shanks drawn!....LOL!

We drove around listening to this song with the windows down on the highway in traffic...full blast..after leaving the mall..Bwahaha!!!.My friends are insane and i love them for it!..
 
So far i only like about 5 gifts and i'm finished with my shopping...Today i found some sweet deals online for cyber monday...free shipping...so a girl can't argue with that!....
 
have the house inside decorated,the tree up,and today i will try to get the outside lights up...it's always a HUGE MESS....But i love Christmas even if it's stressful.kinda depressing,and cheesy at times..for all it's worth December is a crazy month...that i look forward to every year ya know?....it should be more about celebrating w/friends&family that you adore and about the real reason for Christmas..like the preacher says....

i hope this month i can make a difference and do great good things that are charitable & giving...it's the time of year to give and be thankful....everyone deserves to have a great Christmas and to know that they are cared for.....homeless shelters,animal shelters,women's shelters---all those need help and could use anything they can be given...food/money/donations of any kind or even donating time to help out...times are tough out there for everyone and there's always ways to help out...so that's what i always try to do...it makes me feel great to help out and be a blessing to someone or something..i hope i am anyway!...lol..

Thanksgiving 2012....

just random----this was on radio today...kinda like it.

AND...the holiday fun starts...

Going to the church tonight and deliver food baskets to the needy with the Aunties & Grandma etc......First we have to assemble them with all the food...then wrap them/decorate them....i like doing that...it makes me feel great to do something nice for people who need helped out....then help deliver them to their homes/shelters.....it's the right thing to do. ;)

I just always feel really sad for all the people who are starving and homeless....not just at holidays..but all the time...you should always be thankful for what you do have, because some people don't even have that much.....and never will.....

I'm so lucky to have a home,friends,and a family who loves me.......even though they are all insane!!!(LOL)..i love them too!....i'm thankful for all the characters in my life...you all make life exciting with your eccentric wild personalities!..I never know a dull moment...LOVE YOU x100.

So after tonight i will wake up in the morning and get myself ready for an all day of fun...cooking,planning,decorating at Grandparents house.....THEN we are going to go ahead and draw names for Christmas gifts this year at Aunt's house.....Wonder whose name i will draw?....I hope it's somebody easy to shop for....lol.

Thursday is dinner and then supper again at another house.....

I don't know if i will be going Black Friday shopping yet?...i mean, should i partake in the danger and insanity of it all this year?....LOL!...Hmm....might be up for that this year...i'm feeling a little reckless this week...Haha..Must be this codeine cough syrup i'm having to use for this cough.....blame it on the syrup...lol...

lost keys....

I love this song...great driving song!...makes me smile...I really like Yellowcard a fave band of mine.

Just got home...Did some more Christmas shopping today with friends..FUN!...i think i'm really doing something starting earlier this year!!!....Haha!.....the jokes probably on me because everyone else is out shopping too when i'm not at the mall....i just don't see them so i "think"..i'm beating everyone at shopping..

I got a flyer from Bath&Body Works today in the mail...(just like every other girl who is obsessed with shopping in there)...Oh man...I got a Buy One Get One Free card...lol....I will use that sucker this week....I wanna try that Frosted SnowBerry...next time i'm in there.......using that card!

Lost my car/house keys this evening..i threw them down on the table and they got covered in shopping bags...lost momentarily...LOL!...I went all over the house looking for those keys!....I just have keyless entry key ring on there and a crystal heart key chain on it....couldn't find the keys....I was like a wild woman nervously searching everywhere for them..kinda scary...that's the ONLY set of keys i have to anything and when they are gone i am in huge trouble!!!... need to make copies i know.

I laughed at myself when i finally tossed aside all the bags from the table and there...there they were!..RELIEF..you just gotta laugh at yourself about stupid stuff like that...lol...and we're always laughing about my Aunties being so absent-minded....Bwahaha!!!....god..i'm just as bad...haha...

THIS is what i need to ask Santa to get me for Christmas...LOL!

 

Some kinda infrared key finder...haha...that's what it's gonna take....Go all out for this!....a tracking device for me to keep up with my keys!!!....how sad...next stop, tracking devices to keep up with everything in my life..lol

 

Nite.

playing guitar....learning songs....

Spent the past few days vaccinating livestock and turning them out on wheat pasture...helping anyway...of course, i don't think anybody could do that ALL by themselves!....lol...It's just not something i would think anyone could do alone.....i couldn't anyway....

It's been freezing the past few mornings so there is pond water freezing over in places and the stock tanks were frozen in the corral this morning...and we are putting a few round bales out for all the animals to eat on.....I'm still feeding my little bull alfalfa pellets and starter pellets so he's getting a good start at growing really good...he will hopefully be a HUGE monster bull someday....lol....no really i just hope he grows good and is healthy....

Been playing my guitar the past few days...when it gets colder i play my guitar constantly and try to figure out random songs on it...Finally able to play this one...I got it down fairly good...I caught it on tv the other day,sat down and figured it out....pretty!

you just use: G,Cadd9,Em7,Dsus4...i  think you can strum this or pick it really...i have done both so far...a lot of fun to learn songs on guitar and sing them.....

nite.
