The grinch


I love Christmas. I love the reason for Christmas, I love coming up with great presents that the receipient will just LOVE, I love the snowy weather and warm comfort food, I love decorations and lights. But this year, I’m a Grinch and I really don’t know why. I’m just having a hard time getting into the annoying, happy, smiling, not-a-care-in-the-world spirit.

I don’t have any decorations up because I’m selling my house, I’m going to be working on some final projects on Christmas Day, my shopping is done, but I don’t feel as I got any earth-shattering awesome presents for anyone this year. Stuff they will like? Yes. Stuff they need/want? Yes. Earth-shattering awesome? No.

So for these final days before the big hoo-rah, my mission is Christmas spirit……I’m going to hang some lights right now, maybe that will help.

    I felt like that a bit last year. Then I did my 26 acts of kindness and completely was back in the game. You should do an act of kindness just to see if that helps. I'm going to put money in three Christmas cards and carry them around with me in hopes that I find people to give them to. Last year I gave one to an old lady in Wal-Mart, the girl who was hauling in baskets at Target and a mom with a bunch of little kids who were really well behaved in line. It was awesome.

Oh How Pinteresting - yard ideas

Well I wanted to link up today....ya know go back to this blogging thing in full force....BBBUUUUUTTTTTT it seems that this link up is no longer. I'm getting old. I've been gone too long. Who knows, but since its my blog and I'll do what I want, I will pretend there is still a link up and I'm linking....I'm linking....I'm linking. My new house has a backyard that looks like this. Well, that's a bummer. So before the papers were even signed, I was pinning away. This is what it should resemble when I someone I hire gets done with it! Landscaping just really isn't my forte. And of course mine will be a scaled down version of this because I'm a cheapskate. But my plans do include splurging for the hot tub.

WILW: laugh 'til it hurts

[Linking up with Jamie for What I'm Loving Wednesday] A few years back, OKTrailerPark Friend and Snowboard Friend and I went to Canyons in Utah for a girls weekend. We had a slope side condo, reduced price lift tickets, wine and the resort swimming pool. Now when we vacation we do it up right. We snowboarded and rode the alpine slide by day and by night we soaked in the pool, wore sweatpants, cooked dinner in our condo, played cards, drank wine and watched this YouTube video....over and over and over and over. the.best.ab.workout.ever. Whenever I'm having a sub-par day, I pull this video out. I mean I do have it favorited on my work computer even! If this video doesn't make you laugh, go to the emergency room NOW! Here is a little note from Ed and Ross's mom, who posted the video. As you can read Ed and Ross were best friends! PLEASE NOTE..... THESE CLIPS WERE TAKEN OVER A PERIOD OF 18 MONTHS.... ED WAS A VERY GOOD BOY MOST OF THE TIME.... I HAVE HOURS

Painting with a twist

Image
I've seen several of my friends post pictures from their adventures of painting at various bachelorette parties and bridal showers. I was amazed that I don't have one single friend who isn't an accomplished artist! When Colorado Transplant Friend told me about the Arts Council's plan to bring Painting with a Twist to Green River I said to count me in! They chose Starry Tree for our masterpiece. When i showed up I was very disappointed to see a blank canvas staring back at me......and I mean blank! What the crap?! Where is my paint by number.....mine will never look like the "example" Here you can see the progression of my masterpiece....I think the most important thing is to finish the step and then put down the paint brush....anything I tried to "fix" yeah, that wasn't a good idea! On the left is the "professional painting" on the right is "the most professional painting" (that is mine in case you are confuse
