1. DH is painting the trim and front door of our house. It's WAY overdue to be done. I'm excited because the door has been off-white for years and he's painting it red!  :D

2. A work thing that needed to get sorted was sorted today!

Yay!  [smiley=elf.gif] Always a festive occasion! I enjoy it so much I'd love to find a job (or start my own business maybe) of decorating trees for people who either don't have the time (or the inclination) to do it themselves.

1. We have nowhere to go on this dreary, drizzly day, so we can stay in and enjoy the warmth and the tree. (Well, I'll enjoy it. He isn't into it.)

2. I was a good girl and managed to save most of my peppermint mocha creamer so I can enjoy peppermint coffee during the festive season.

OOHHH!!! Where did you get your creamer!?!? I have be dying for my carnation peppermint mocha creamer today! I was actually considering telling hubby that we needed to go to Starbucks to get a peppermint mocha today because I've been wanting one for weeks!  [smiley=smitten.gif]

I got it at Walmart in July when we were in the States for a visit, because I can't find any flavoured ones here. Unless I am just missing them, I have looked everywhere.

Our Starbucks (Blackburn) would cost nearly twice as much to get to as it would be to buy a drink, since we don't have a car.  ::) Tell your hubby it is a NEED to get there today.  ;D Then pretend to swoon if he says no. ;)

Yeah, I kinda thought you got it back in the U.S. I know there are sites where you can get items from, but they are soo spendy!

DEFINITELY going to have to make a "special occasion" trip to Starbucks today then! (YAY!! Lol!) Dave will do it. He'll just roll his eyes and give me a silly grin and say "Alright! Go on then!...But I'm only letting you do this because I'm such a great guy!!...Just say'n!!"  :D (he cracks me up!)

Every time I look at those sites, I try to decide if I REALLY want whatever it is I am after bad enough to pay the insane prices PLUS shipping to get it to me. I usually decide I can wait until the next trip to the States.

Sounds like your hubby is as 'full of himself' about how great and kind he is, as mine is.  ;D

1. I'm done with school for good (unless I become ambitious and want a masters or more) in just over 3 weeks.

2. One of my best friends who is getting her masters in Beirut will be landing at Logan 2 weeks from this very moment. I haven't seen her since June.  ;D

Haha! He does like to receive his kudos and "husband of the year" awards!  ;D We banter back and forth a lot about the girly things I like (i.e. Christmas decorating, chick flicks some times, etc.) he tells me that secretly, he kinda likes it all, but not to tell the guys because he will have to deny it so they won't take the mickey out of him!

Mine doesn't even secretly like them. He's such a 'guy' sometimes.  ;D

1. We're off to Manchester later to see Ginger (from the Wildhearts) and to a Sam Smith's pub as an early anniversary gift to ourselves. There are others going with us, but the more the merrier.  ;D

2. My feet are so happy in the slippers St. Nick brought me. They are more or less shapeless thick fleece ballet flats from Pound World, but incredibly warm and comfy. I have the feeling Santa will be bringing me another pair or two.  ;D I've had one pair of them for two years now, and I am amazed how well the hold up, including being washed 4 or 5 times during the winter, for only £1. They are also great for airplanes because they keep my feet warm but aren't bulky like slippers would be for confined spaces.

1. Have got out the money my mom sent for us to go Christmas shopping in Clarks Village on Friday...what was once a trip of curiosity and small purchases is now going to be a shopping spree!!!! :D Plus I can't wait to see the Shoe Museum, haha.

2. The decorations are up and we have a panto on Saturday and mulled wine/mince pie get-together on Sunday. Feeling festive, I love this time of year!
In 900 years of time and space, I've never met anyone who wasn't important.

1. Uneventful flight back to the US, always happy about that!  :)

2. Our aged family dog was very happy to see me and was doing a major tail wagging dance and running around like a maniac. Love him!  ;D

1. Although Morrisons was insanely busy, it wasn't as horrible as I expected. Other than the usual people in the way and no one saying excuse me, I was able to move around with relative ease.

2. I'm not finished Christmas shopping yet, but I will be wrapping what I have in a bit. The tree always looks even more festive with brightly wrapped packages under it.
