I'm Not Opinionated

Christmas Week

Christmas week was a blur!!! Tuesday night, I went to Pam and Rachel's and we cooked all sorts of Christmas goodies...yum! Wednesday evening I made myself stay home so that I would have laundry for the weekend....of course I had to pack as well...and of course I didn't get finished so I had to get up early Thursday. I stopped back by Pam's for cake and coffee before leaving for Tim and Tracey's.

I worked from there on Friday...which was a good thing....because I would have never finished getting ready for Christmas without that day. We wrapped presents and cooked all day long! Christmas Eve was just as bad....we went to Spartanburg to finish our Christmas shopping before coming home to cook most of Sunday's meal. We had a Christmas Eve service at 11:00 pm before coming home to help Santa out. We got to bed about 3:00 am. We awoke about 6:30 on Sunday so that we could have our showers before waking Chloe up. And then the fun began! It was soooo much fun to watch Chloe open her gifts. That was the best part of Christmas! She opened the Cinderella Tea Cart I got her, looked at her Mom, and said "Dreams really do come true!" It made my heart melt!!! We left for church, came back and had a wonderful meal, before crashing on the couch. I slept most of the rest of the day and night!

Monday, I started toward home stopping to look at the after Christmas sales and of course buying too much...it was fun other than the massive crowds of people. I really wanted Starbucks but did not feel like waiting in line for an hour....and I don't think that is much of an exaggeration!!! The best part of that day was finding a pair of pants that were a size smaller than I had been buying (I can fit in a size 30 waist again....woo hoo!!!!!) and they fit! Even with all of the eating I lost a few more pounds. I have lost 24 total!!! Only four more to go until I have met my goal....how cool is that!!!

I hope that you had a great Christmas!!!!
