Ten on Tuesday

1) There's a new family blog in the works.....I promise.


2) One most test and I am officially a "sophomore" nursing student. Almost one year to go. The countdown ticker will commence shortly. One more test next Tuesday and I get a break. Woohoo!

3) Christmas came early for me. I scored some awesome Black Friday deals online and got a Kitchen Aid stand mixer and a new set of knives. As soon as I got the mixer, I made a batch of sausage balls and "attempted" to make cookies. I used the word I did because I ran out of stick butter and "attempted" to use tub butter. Let's say, Craig had chocolate chip pancakes.

4) I'm thinking about going to the Decatur Christmas Parade for the first time in ages. Hopefully, the weather will hold out and not rain again.

5) One thing I love about this time of year is that Duke gets super snuggly. Normally, he's independent, just sleeps wherever. When it gets cold, he loves to snuggle under the sheets down by my feet and sneaks up in the morning to give me a snuggle when it's time to get up. He's absolute sweetness and I love him tons.

6) Can you believe it's been a year since Harley was hit by a car? She's recovered fabulously. Her leg still bothers her at times, mostly when the weather changes or if she plays too hard. Or if you happen to ask her if she has a "broke leg". Improper grammar & all, she's rotten. Rotten to the core.

7) I've been doing a ton of Christmas shopping online this year, which totally makes me happy. It's amazing the deals you can score if you just take the time to put a little effort into it. No need to hold off on what you've been waiting for. Put those michael kors watches on your list and see what magic happens.

8) It would really be nice if it would snow again on Christmas this year, but I'm not going to hold my breath. I'd turn blue...

9) When I got my new washer, I decided to try Gain Apple Mango Tango detergent. OMG, I totally *heart* it and it makes everything smell so good. I'm hooked.

10) I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the week.
