Yo Yo Yo not to be confused with Ho Ho Ho ... Let's talk about Christmas Oh yeah
I wonder how long my title can be. I should test that one day. It'd be good times. I'm having a typing issue today. My fingers are malfunctioning and they want to put two letters at the end of every word. I'll give you and example. Let'ss talkk aboutt Christmass. Theree itt goess. Woww I can'tt Makee itt stopp. I don'tt knoww whatt iss wrongg withh mee. Oh well. I'll do my best to make it stopp. Well, sorry I didn't bog for a while. I felt like there was nothing new. Mark's gone, blah blah blah. The kids are cute, blah blah blah. They are also nuts, blah blah blah. I'm tired, blah blah blah. But over all things are fine, blah blah blah. So, we didn't miss much you see.
I'm wondering what the plans are or rather the intended plans for Christmas are. Such as...
When are people planning on arriving in PHX?
How long are we all staying?
What are things we have to and want to do?
Etc Etc
I know we've already talked about the guys going golfing.
We had talked about the zoo. We could even do zoo lights if it is an interest for people.
I'm throwing a party for our soldier who will be leaving FOREVER to go overseas. I'd like to plan it for when all the fam is there. (Near the end of our vacation together)
I think we've talk about date nights and stuff like that. I'd love to secure us some sitters if need be. So, let's rethrow out our ideas and expectations and pull this party together. Oh yes. Julie and I have talked about food somewhat. But again we need to know what everyone is thinking. I think Julie is going to make some yummy foods that can be frozen ahead of time and then popped in the oven for a yummy dinner with little clean up and almost zero prep. I think that is more than a swell idea. I am also planning on making tons of pancakes, waffles, and french toast that we can warm up and eat in the mornings so again we don't have to all wake up and eat together and there is no preptime and clean up. I was also hoping to make a bunch of yummy snack stuff like... Homemade soft pretzels oh yeah. They are so yummy I want to eat them right now. Ok the other thing I was wondering is if we are on a diet for Christmas or not. I know I'm not eating sugar and Brad and Sarah are doing something and Julie is doing something. I'm wondering if our diets are compatible and what are good healthy things to eat on all the diets. I've got some great foods that are healthy. I just am wanting to know if everyone is planning on eating well over Christmas. I don't think I will be to my goal til the end of Feb so I'm sure I will not be eating sugar still. I'm throwing that out there to encourage those that aren't sure if they want to eat good or bad for Christmas. It takes too long to loose inches to gain any in a week. Not worth it here. But it won't be a big deal at all for me if others are splurging for Christmas. Not eating sugar is not very hard to do I mean I eat everything else so you know. Okay I'm blabbering. Can someone just let me know their plans for diet and fun?
Sarah, how are your tickets/motorhome coming. If you took a motorhome would you take more time off or be here less time? I'm thinking Mark is out for the motorhome idea but you neverknow.
Ooo there is something fun and new going on. Okay maybe it's fun and old. The arrowhead garage sales are coming up. In order to prepare for this massive and wonderful event my neighbors and I are having a garage sale of our own. I'm hoping to make enough money that I can buy the things I need at the upcoming garage sales in Arrowhead. It's kinda funny really. Trading my old junk for my new junk. Nice. I have my list, my maps and my truck oh yeah and my garage saling buddy for October. I haven't found a sitter yet but it is imperative for this sort of operation. I have a very very important item on the list this year and I am determined to find it. It is a bike cart for both of my kids. I'm really hoping for it. I saw a really nice one two years ago and I wanted it but I had no where to put it. Now I have a GARAGE!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!! It'd be so nice to go for bike rides with my kids. Okay well, I think that is all the fun news I have. Maybe I'm nuts but to answer your question about flying, I'm not afraid.
