Christmas Candy and more...

I started making a few goodies today. I made Peanut Butter Christmas Candies. They were super easy and super yummy but they are so sweet that you might try to bite your ear. You can find the recipe on my pinterest board with the name Things I have tried good and bad. I also made hard cinnamon candy because it is Kris' favorite candy. I forgot to put red food coloring in it. I lost all senses when I put the cinnamon oil in the scalding hot syrup and couldn't think of where I keep food coloring. If you need a good cleaning out of the sinuses then you should make cinnamon candy. My eyes, nose and cheeks were burning. I am not sure why the cheeks were burning (Not the cheeks you sit on either heehee) Anyways we had to turn on some fans so everyone could breathe. I got some Christmas presents wrapped today after our one time shopping trip. Yes, I said one time we went last night and got everything that we could afford! HA! So we hit Target because they really have stuff that isn't just like everyone else. Then we went to Old Navy and found Paisley a winter coat for $8. I was so excited about an $8 coat. It's a cute one too! HA! So then we ate at Chik-Fil-A for dinner and headed to Wal-Mart to finish up our shopping. Then went to get the kids from Mom's house and stashed the presents. I haven't wrapped them all yet but will get that in a few days. Tomorrow Mom is coming over and we are going to tackle Christmas cookie making. That should be interesting. I didnt buy any sprinkles because I just got all of last years swept up. UGH! Those rascals roll all over the place. I should have saved those ones I swept up! hahaha Ok, I am not that thrifty! Tonight I made Long Boy burgers which I would describe them as meatloaf on a bun and the bun got rock hard. I'll stick with my regular ole meatloaf next time. We have a busy Christmas this year. Christmas Eve we are going to Kris' Mom's office to have Christmas with Brittany (niece) because she goes to her Dad's that next day and we haven't seen her in a few Christmas due to that. Then we come back to Moms and we eat Chicken and noodles. Mom makes the best homemade noodles. YUM! Then on Christmas Day we open our gifts here then go to Kris' Moms house and have lunch there at 12:30.

Last night Kris took me shopping for my present from him. We decided that I needed new clothes the most so we went to Cato's. We started in and just picking things out here and there and by the time we got to the back of the store I had about 10 items to try on. So I proceeded in and Kris kept bringing me stuff to try on and said we have a lot that we are getting. I finally said you realize we cant afford all this stuff. Well he didn't believe me so I gave him the "likes" pile and he started adding in his head and I finally got done trying stuff on and figured out what all I wanted. So I narrowed it down to 2 shirts, 2 pairs of jeans, 1 denim skirt. Ending up we went over the allotted amount of money by $20 but I was able to get all those items for $120. We got out to the car and Kris said "Man, women's clothes are so expensive." I cracked up laughing and said I thought I did really good. He said my jeans cost $15. He did have a good point. Mine have bling on the rear cause that is just what I needed! HA! Plumbers don't need bling but then again neither does a big booty. Oh well. I got some! So we get going and Kris said "I don't think we should have anymore girls" I really laughed at that. I gently reminded him that it wasn't up to him. All in all it was a nice night and we got a lot of talking in....errr...I did a lot of talking and he did a lot of uh huh, yes, hmming. Most of the time he is listening unless he is watching TV during my rambling then I like to tell him weird stuff like Rowdy fell out of the boat today while eating a banana and he lost his toenail in the mud or something similar.

Again just a friendly reminder. This is my thoughts and they are jumbled in my head and I am afraid they come out just as jumbled and well I stink at punctuation and grammar. I shall learn both of these with Rowdy. I am not a lost cause...:)
