Morning all! We have our family outing tonight. Dinner at Cracker Barrel and then going to a historic home all decorated for Christmas. I want to take the Christmas Card picture even though I might not send out a whole bunch this year. We only got 2 cards so I kind of don't see putting in all the time and money. We may just do them for close family and post it on Facebook for everyone else. I have to check Walgreens to see if they are putting their photo books on sale and find out how many Redbox codes I need to buy.
It's a snowy lazy Saturday here. I've been up since 5 but have only accomplished eating breakfast and watching Erin Brokovich, ha. I'm meeting a friend who is in town for lunch in a bit and then probably cleaning the house the rest of the day. Our snow is supposed to turn to rain soon...I wish the snow would stay. It's only an inch or so and so pretty. Rain is just...gross.

Morning! It is snowing a bit right now. We have a lot of snow here. It was so effing cold yesterday (-8 feels like -25) but it is going to be warmer this weekend which will be good. I am trying to get my shit together right now and meal plan so we can go grocery shopping. We also have to go rent DS his ski gear since he is going to be skiing once a week with his school starting next month. Basically trying to get all of our errands done today so we don't have to go anywhere tomorrow!
Well he slept fine in his kennel last night and only whined for the first few minutes he was in there while we were getting ready for bed. Then he settled down. So yeah!

Good morning! It's really cold (high of 5, low of -5 for the day) and it snowed enough that the snow plows are actually coming down our street.
I had to send H to the store though, because when he went yesterday he forgot the oil for latkes I'm making for our holiday party with friends tonight. No oil, no latkes. He's also picking up breakfast -- both a treat, and a way that there aren't dirty dishes to get in the way of latke making!
H was also supposed to take his car to get emissions tested this morning, but that's probably not a good idea now.
The cat and I are still cuddling in bed. She is blissfully unaware of how much I need to get done once H gets back.
I need to wrap presents and get things sent off today.
I need to finish shopping lol. Amazon for the win!
I'm done except for youngest SIL. If what she wants isn't available on Amazon, H gets to do the mall trip. DNW to go near a mall so close to Christmas!

I haven't bought a present in person in years. Shopping around Christmas is the actual worst.
It's freezing ice rain in the DC area today, so yay for that! Can't wait to walk my dogs in this nonsense later. And Saturday laundry and cleaning, but at least that's inside where it's warm .
But later, I have a friend's 40th birthday party, which I am so looking forward to.

If I can do it early enough, I actually enjoy looking for presents in person. But after about Dec 10, no thank you. All shopping online if possible between Dec 10 and Jan 1.
We have a ton of laundry to fold and the whole house to clean/up. DH is not in gear yet, and I hear him watching videos on his phone and we're both on edge. Usually I'm the one still in bed so I can't judge but... I hope we don't ruin the day for ourselves. Hope all of you have a good day!
Mine is still asleep - I refuse to start on chores until he's up

Stocking stuffers are what I usually get in person. Mostly because I'm like "oh hey that will work" as I snag stuff while grocery shopping lol

Yes! That is the only thing I get in person because I am already grocery shopping lol.
I am the actual worst Christmas shopper. I procrastinate big time but we don't have many people to buy for (we just do us and my mom). DH took care of DS's stuff, my mom's gift, and our donated gifts this year lol. Now I only have to get a few things for DH.

Everyone stay safe with the freezing rain! I hate "wintry mix" BS. Rain or snow man! None of this in between crap. It makes the roads so much worse than just snow.
I hate people that think email = texting. I'm not a 24 hour answering service. If you want an instant answer then pick up the goddamn phone! And we're talking tattoos here people, not medical emergencies.

It's. ..nasty here. Ice/sleet all night, now it's freezing rain. They just issued a winter storm warning for us until 1pm but...the radar doesn't look like much more is coming so...who knows.
We have a Christmas party to go to later; H wants to leave around 1 to we'll see how the roads are.
On that note too, there was an insane accident in Baltimore this morning, has anyone else seen the videos? A tanker rolled off an over pass and exploded; I don't even know how many others crashed behind him. It was on 95 so it's basically all tractor trailers and they were just all jackkniving trying to stop.
Not sure how many fatalities there were so be careful all you people in ice and show! Eesh.
