Today we tested out our new showshoes! It was so fun!! Granted I do not feel well, so I am not my usual cheerleader self right now, but it was a blast!
We also put a deposit down on our new floor! We ended up going with the laminate because it will be better with the Maddie feet and the high traffic area. It is a very pretty color, called Cherry Bronze. I am super excited!
Now if I could just get over this 11 day cold everything would rock!!

Ohno, sick.
I think I am sick. I don't know if it is a sticking around sick, or just today sick. I woke up in the middle of the night with my throat on fire. It hurts so badly, I don't even like breathing.
Today is pilates day and then cookies with my Dad day. Tomorrow is cookies with Tim day. YEAH! I have a lot left to do around the house (cleaning, cooking, baking, etc...) but at least everything else is done.
I finished all the shopping, wrapping, shipping, etc...that is going to be done this year. Very happy. Also, Maddie had her holiday bath, so she smells yummy.
Now if only my stadium-sized headache and sinus pain would go away, I could get on with the cleaning...

Holiday Outings
We really don't have much going on for the holidays, except for today. We have two get together thingies today. We have been to one and are getting ready to head to the next one.
I am baking a sweet potato bake in the oven right now to take to our next thingy. It sounds yummy, but very, very bad for you. I wanted to try it, so this is the perfect occasion. You boil up three or four whole sweet potatoes for 30 minutes or so. Then let them cool. When cool enough to handle you peel them and cut the into squares. Mach the squares up with butter, sugar, salt and vanilla. Whisk in two eggs. Pour this mashed sweet potato mixture into a casserole. Mix butter, pecans, flour and brown sugar in a small bowl. Pour this mixture onto the sweet potato mash and bake it all for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. It smells awesome, and hopefully it will taste good too.
After tonight, we have no other plans until MARY gets here!! And then the next day BILLY gets here!!
At some point some shopping will have to get done I suppose. Happy Weekend!!

Thursday
Today has been a very nice day. I slept late for the third day in a row, as Tim has had meetings and had to leave very early in the morning. I also went to pilates, which is still very much harder than I want it to be. Then I went to my parents for a bit as I like to keep in touch with them, as opposed to other siblings. Then Tim came home early with WINE! Then we went to dinner at my parents and ate YUMMY tortilla soup. Then we went to the musical at the Littleton Town Hall. It was very good.
Then we came home and drank more wine which led us here: http://www.elfyourself.com/?id=1381425907
Holiday Greetings from Ann & Tim!!

Gotta love the postal service
And I do, really. Except I am a little bitter still about not getting my People Magazine that week of our blizzards last year. But I should be over that.
Anyway, when I started getting more serious about the eBay stuff in September, I ordered these free shipping boxes from the USPS that were labeled with eBay on them. I had COMPLETELY forgotten about them when I found them on my front porch today. December 11. Three months after I ordered them. Isn't that crazy!?!
