Holy Shit!

I have been so busy at work that I have only been able to post ONE day this week!  That sucks!!  I have been missing it terribly!  Work has been keeping me captive and I've been so miserable (but thankful to have a job, don't forget thankful) that actually, I don't want to even talk about it......MOVING RIGHT ON FORWARD....

I want to start out by sharing our Christmas decor from last weekend.....FINALLY....
This is the front door decor.  I also have my Christmas flag hanging off the porch.  I really want to decorate outside a lot more but we haven't decided what to do about that yet....Wait till next year.

This is the foyer as soon as you walk in the front door. 

A little closer inspection of the doorway :)  PS, those are Grama Darling's butterfly's watching over us.  Those are there year round.

The mantle.  I tried to take a picture with no flash so you could see how pretty it looks lit up but I'm no photographer and I think I should probably ask for a nicer camera for Christmas!
This picture is pretty much just to show the snowflakes that we hung from the ceiling.  They are in all the common rooms.
**SIDE NOTE - When I worked at Pub-Dizzle, they used to hang these huge snowflakes and ornaments from the ceiling every year.  Well, one year it was my job to take them down and I was like, "What are we doing with these??"  My manager said that I was supposed to throw them away??!!  OH THE HORROR!  So, I took them home instead and we have been hanging them up on our ceilings for years.  I love them!  So festive and my favorite word, FREE!**

The other side, leading into the kitchen...ornaments on ceiling.
And....THE TREE!  It does have lights on it, even if you can't see them with my FLASH (Fuckity!) on.  We have been using the same artificial tree since 2000 when Destiny was born and we had to buy a tree. 
That's all the pictures I took...There are snowflakes and a little decor in the kitchen but this is the majority of it.  We had so much fun decorating together as a family!  One of my favorite things to do!!

That was during the day on Saturday after we got back from Golden Corral and after my nap.  Then this is what my night with Jade looked like:

A little snack, a little rummy.  That's how we roll.
Supa was on the couch shooting bad guys on the X-Box 360 while we yucked it up at the kitchen table.  Mmmmm, perfect night!

After Jade left, I got a little mischievous:

Jade's birthday is this month so I am getting myself prepared.  ;)  I wish I could tell you what those gifts are but since Jade is an avid reader of my blog that will have to wait.

Oh, and trust, she is going to be SPOILED this year.  Since I only have 2 friends left that I have to spoil now....You two lucky bitches

I'm not done, this is just what I decided to start with. 

See, because I coupon like the Krazy Koupon lady herself, I save tons of money on groceries.  Therefore, I can afford to buy Jade something super awesome for her birthday!!

Let's see what I raped Publix for this week:

I got all this stuff from Publix yesterday all for one low price of .......

$22.13.  Yep, I said $22.13.  LOL  I love my coupons!  I keep saying that I'm going to start taking pictures of what I get.  Maybe this is the beginning of a really cool thing....I'm sure sometimes I won't have time but I will try my best. 

I also went to Kroger on my way to work this morning and I got:

5 - Dannon Yogurt multi-packs (that's 4 containers of yogurt in one pack)
2- 5 lb. bags of Domino Sugar
1- box of Capri Sun pouch drinks
2- Lipton Onion Soup mixes (I use these a lot)

All for a grand total of $9.05!!  Hello!  Who the hell could pass that up?!  Sweet baby Jesus, I love couponing!

I would like to once again send an extra special shout out to Uncle Darling for sending me those coupons!  Thanks again!!!  Also a special thank you to Red Lady today because I told her I wasn't going to Kroger this week and then she told me about the yogurt being on sale so....She gets most of the credit for this mini haul.  I hope Supa is ready to eat some yogurt because I sure don't eat that nasty stuff.  LOL

This coming weekend looks like it's shaping up to be pretty damn awesome....

Tomorrow (Friday), my job is CLOSED for Veteran's Day (Thank you to all the Veterans!  I love having an extra day off in your honor!) and I have made plans to keep busy so I can stay out of trouble!  Supa is of course working all day and the kids have school.

I think I'm just going to hang out at my house tomorrow morning and just RELAX which I usually don't do very much of.  I am going to bake something during that relaxation time, even if it is just brownies.  Then I'm going to meet Jade for lunch because her evil grind is NOT closed and she will be held captive for the day.  Therefore, I'm going to whisk her away for one solid hour of Apple bliss :)

I have no idea what I'm going to do in the afternoon yet.  Shopping?  Um, hells yeah!  Most likely!
I won't be shopping for bags like this but damn that is cool!

Friday night I will be hanging out with Jade and Supa.  I'm helping Jade make Dirt for her daughter's birthday which is on....

Saturday:  I will be taking Dazzle and Neon over to Jade's Mom and Dad's house for lunch, cake and presents for Cat Mama's (Jade's daughter - this child loves cats about as much as she loves horses inside coven joke) birthday party.  Then we are taking all the kids skating, oh fun!  (I used to roller skate all the time but I haven't for about 17 or 18 years, I think I'll just watch)

Supa will be working all day long again.  Afterwards, we are going back home to have dinner with Supa (Yep, he's cooking for us since he gets off at 4, SUPER YAY!)

Sunday, I have no plans as of yet.  (Thankfully, it sounds like I might be all tuckered out after all this activity, LOL)

That's all I have for now peeps,

(If I have time later today, I will get a post ready for tomorrow and then release it from my house.  If work continues to plague me so, I might have to do what Dazzle suggested, "Just blog from home, Mama."  WTF does blog from home mean?  Oh, BLOG AT HOME and not get paid to blog?  Um, I don't think so!  HAHA)
