So you've probably heard... My twin is coming for New Year's!!! I'm so excited. They are en route as I type and should be here within a couple hours.
In the meantime I'm bored. I'm all ready for them so why aren't they here yet??
Let's see... I have dinner on. I baked cinnamon rolls for breakfast tomorrow. I baked 2 pies. The sheets and towels are all washed and dried. Their bed is made. The dog went for a spa day this morning so he looks gooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgeous. He smells good too. There is food, food, food all over the house.
Tomorrow night we'll be pigging out like crazy. I have sausage balls made. I'm making all kinds of appetizer type stuff. Kraut and Kielbasa. Chicken. Shrimp. Chips and dip. Cookies. Cheese and crackers. Food. Food. Food.
I love the holidays but having my twin and her family here is making New Year's more exciting than usually especially since offspring number one had to go back this year and couldn't stay all the way through.
Number two is moving right along with her pregnancy. It's hard to believe but she's due 3 weeks from today. Yup. It's a girl. And yup, they have given her a name. I'll just call her Baby C here. I can't wait to hold her. Somehow, it seems like she will make the problems of the world go away.
So that Grace... she's a mean one. She sent me a text the other day with a picture... of warm weather!!! I mean come on!!! That's just evil, evil, evil. But yeah, it was pretty.
My weight is staying off. Go me!!!! Size six still feels amazing. Fantastic. Unbelievable. I hold up a pair of jeans and think "no way." But then they slide right on with room to spare. Amazing!!!
So I just checked the driveway. PK's not here yet. If you see her, tell her to get a move on!!!
Christmas was a blast. I love having the kids here. We were relaxed. Laughed a lot. played games. There's a new card game out... at least it's new to us. It's called Swap and we LOVE it. There's another electronic game out called A to Z. We love it too. In fact when OS #1 left she took it with her. How mean!!! Okay so never mind the fact that it's here game!!! But I want to play it while PK is here. We looked in every store around us. No luck. Found it on Amazon.com. It's on its way. Yup. I even paid to have it shipped so it would be here in time. Supposed to arrive today. I have the batteries here and waiting.Supper is smelling wonderful: Italian beef, green beans with almonds, parsley potatoes, Italian bread, apple pie a la mode. Yummo. The kids are all coming to have dinner with PK, Nick, and Mollie. If A to Z gets here I'm gonna make them all play.
It's almost time to plug in all the Christmas lights and light the candles. I love candles. They are every where in my house at the holiday time. Let me count... there are 4 rooms on the first floor of our house and in them I have 40 candles. I won't light them all tonight but I will light all the big ones... just not the votives.
Hope all is well there. I'm gonna go brush my teeth and put on a warmer shirt. Would want PK and crew to smell bad breath or anything when they get here.
