Good Morning! Sunday, Dec 7

[Shelby&Seymour]

Good morning all!!
I have been up since 4:30 am. Shelby & Seymour got up with me and had a snack... then they went out to do their morning potty. Needless to say, Seymour had a "hanger" and I had to wipe a stinky butt this morning. Later he will get a full "butt-bath" ..... I hate early mornings with issues..... but the little guy is so sweet and just sits there waiting for his butt to be cleaned.
Yesterday I got some of my shopping done and today I am hoping to finish making some candy. I am usually so much more organized than I have been this year....... I just don't know what has gotten in to me!!! I HATE being so unorganized. I will have some time off from work over the holidays.... Maybe it will help me catch up! The company I work for has extended our Christmas shutdown due to the economy and our decreasing sales volume. I like having the extra time off at Christmas, but don't like the outlook of the automobile industry. I am so hoping that the New Year brings a new start for our economy.....

It is snowing here a little today... and we had some yesterday, too. I don't think that it has covered up the grass.... big difference from the snows I used to see in Michigan.
I would like to have enough to go sledding with Shelby & Seymour. I KNOW that Shelby would LOVE being on a sled..... She likes to bicycle ride, stroller ride, her carrier..... anything where she can move but not put forth an effort...... she is SUCH a PRINCESS!!!
Anyway, hope you all have a wonderful day!!! Are you doing anything special today?

Good morning to you, also! Sounds like you are very organized for Christmas. What kind of candy are you making? (We have started our holiday baking, too.)

Hope you and Shelby and Seymour have a wonderful day.

I've been up me time as you! Keegan gets up wit me & follows me but Clarence...well he insists on his beauty sleep so I don't bring him out until he's awake & boofing at me to get him out of his crate.

I'm making pitzelles today...for the first time. Can anyone tell me how to store them. They're supposed to stay crunchy.

I keep thinking I want to make some hard candy but visions of burning the tips of my fingers off dance in my head.

I am making turtles.

Later I am making "bacon and eggs". No not breakfast... it is two small straight pretzel sticks side by side 1/4" apart on a piece of wax paper. Melt white almond bark and blob a nickel size amount on top of the prezels..... then put a YELLOW M&M in the center of the blob (on top of the pretzels)... and let cool until almond bark has hardened. Looks like "bacon and eggs"!!
Great for kids to make, too!! I LOVE the taste of them.... and it is something "non" chocolate for the holidays.

Good morning to you! I loved reading about your busy morning (already!) How lazy I feel as it is 8:30 AM here, I'm still in my bathrobe and Willow & Jake are curled up on the couch beside me. We were supposed to go pick out our tree today but it is raining so I guess we will put that off. I especially liked reading about your fondness for sledding. ..brought back so many memories. Where we used to live, a golf course was in our back yard. We used to take our first Yorkie, (Jessie ) sledding there all the time. She loved it! Can't wait to try it with Willow & Jake this year!
...sorry I can't help anyone out with the baking/candy making as I burn toast!
Hope everyone has a great day!!

Good Morning!!

My morning started at 7:00AM with the four fluffs needing to go outside and potty..........three of the four did both, we came in, they got their treats and all four went back to bed with Daddy..........oh how they love to snuggle and sleep in! So I made myself a cup of green tea and checking out the new posts on YT and other forums.

Plan on having a lazy day but you know how that is, something will surely come up..........maybe one or two of the fluffs will get the "FULL" groom today IF nothing comes up!

Good Morning (afternoon) to all!

Yesterday was my brother's family birthday party (he turned 18 on the 4th). Then in the evening my best friend came over and we mosey-d down to the tree lighting around the corner. We then headed over to Dunkin Donuts with our friend, Luke, and had some hot chocolate. When we came outside, it was snowing!!! Very exciting. So we bid farewell to Luke (lol) did some informal caroling on the walk back to my house. Along the way we met up with another friend, Stanley, and he came back to my house with us. We stayed outside for a good hour and a half enjoying the snow...laying in the street...dancing to the music at the house up the street with the dancing lights. It was a really fun night.

Then this morning we went to church, and now I'm trying to motivate myself to get ready for work.

Happy Sunday, all!
