Not sure why autocorrect changed RANDOMS to all caps.

These randoms be very important, yo.

I'm meeting my friends to go running this morning and I'm going to be late. I set my alarm last night for 5:30, but for some reason it didn't "take." Luckily BH just woke up, but there's no way I'm going to be done feeding him and dressed in the next 3 minutes.

Long day today. Ministry event we organized and then ministry party. Then leaving early in the AM for an 8ish (sans stops) hour trip to a cabin to stay with my ILs for a week. Will likely be around sparsely. DH & I typically don't drink but I may need to this week....

[tiffbot]

My parents invited us to their place for lunch with my grandma, and my siblings offered to bring us supper out. This is the best birthday ever, I haven't made a meal since Thursday!

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

It's my niece's 7th birthday and tonight we're going over for cake. I'm going to do some baking in the meantime. My mom is apparently coming over which, you know, you're welcome for the invite.

I'm jealous of this cat right now. I'm ready for a mani/pedi massage facial

This is what I really wanted for my birthday and/or Christmas but it's not happening. Pretty sure h only bought off my Amazon list and the target ad.

Not much going on here today. DH is out shovelling snow. Yay snow! We're going to get groceries and I'm going to try to finish the tie I'm sewing for him. Other than that just lots of time with baby. And lots of time trying not to obsess over the fact the LO hasn't rolled over yet....a friend of ours with a baby a month younger posted a video of her baby rolling over last night. Which led to me worrying which led to DH making fun of me. Oh the life of a mom.

tiffbot, I was super busy yesterday so happy first full day of 30!

Y'all were busy yesterday while I was shopping. Trying to catch up on it all. Sad that I missed seeing the pics in the lurker post because they all poofed.

Did I mention my cookie fiasco last weekend? I tried a new recipe, red velvet thumbprint cheesecake, and it seemed like it would be great. I make a killer red velvet cake so I figured it would carry over. Nope. H described the cookies as tasting like play doh with cream cheese frosting on top. Accurate.

Today's low key. Bible study game night is tonight. But the host is having it start at 6pm and we're bringing snacks? My baby goes to bed at 730. They live an hour away. And 6pm I'd dinner time not snack time. So I'm making crockpot nachos because they can be dinnerish.

DS made me click on this thread. He wants a cat for Christmas so bad.

I needed someone to say that I just had almond cookies for breakfast. It's gonna be hard to top that decision all day long.

+1 on the cookies for breakfast. Best decision I'll make all day.

Putting on my (figurative) elf hat today and wrapping wrapping wrapping....it's always at this point of Christmas I wonder why I have to be so gosh darn generous;)

I lurve wrapping! I always make a night of it. Wine, fire, Xmas movie and wrapping gifts. I find it relaxing and it always puts me in the holiday spirit!

I did that for my first "set" of wrapping and loved it! Now I'm into the hard stuff/stocking stuffers so it feels like a million of them!!

[erbear]

Motherfucker, I started my fourth period since November 5th.

I am not amused.

[jessila]

Uh FFSC my baby still sleeps with his arms swaddled. He wears the swaddleup so his arms are in the wings
Trying one arm out for nap because he's finally started rolling. Watching him in the monitor and he's playing with his free fingers. He isn't really sure what to do. There will be a lot of sleep training happening over winter break. Like no more swing sleeping for naps and at night. And no more swaddled arms. Not looking forward to my extra lack of sleep then.

[jessila]

I'm gonna PW right now. Carl knows it's O's nap time. So this is my current situation. Dog jail.

Do you wrap stocking stuffers??

Yes ma'am. Best part of Christmas! Literally everything in there (minus some candy prices sprinkled on top) is wrapped.

Whaaaat? That sounds...not fun.

It's not! I wish I would've been one of the lucky EBFers that didn't get one for over a year.

It's messed up my blood sugar, too, so I've already had three cookies.

Ugh I wish I loved wrapping. I hate it so much. Everytime I need the scissors/tape/name tags/pen, etc. they all seem to magically disappear! Every damn time!! How can something disappear that you just had?!?! And it doesn't help that I put off all the wrapping until the last minute. Maybe you're on to something by adding wine into the mix...

jessila I clicked on the thread because the cover picture was Carl...I might be (as my students say) lowkey obsessed with your dog.

[holliberry28]

Yay my 1000th post, I'll just post a picture since its Matthew's 1/2 birthday. Lucy decided to get in on the pic too.



At the gym now trying to jog off this hangover. Then my sister is coming over to hang with us. That's it for me! Happy Saturday everyone.

+1 for wrapping stocking stuffers. My mom always did it and it was one of my favourite parts of Christmas.

[tatersalad]

I should have prefaced my cat statement by admitting that DH and I love cats and both grew up with them. We just hate litter boxes. Planning to get one when we move this summer because we can keep the box in the drive under garage and use a cat door. Our dog will be thrilled.

I have wrapped almost everything...except J's gifts. I'm going to have to clear off the kitchen table to finish I think.

I've actually never wrapped stocking stuffers. My mom sometimes wraps one or two small things in our stockings. Maybe I will try it this year though.

[musicfrk2002]

J cut his first tooth either yesterday or today. He won't let me look at it though, he just tries to eat my fingers

My random question is, if I remember correctly your LO is your 1st and only, what all are you even putting in a stocking? Im such a grinch lol, my LO doesn't know Christmas is happening so she's not getting too much of anything at all this year, at least from us!
ETA plus, what do you mean candy? Or who are the stockings for? Im so curious?!
