5 on Tuesday in time for Christmas

1. Still trying to finish Macy's gift but it is turning out super cute! I'll post pictures after Christmas because it isn't going to be finished until tonight.
2. Me and Wes went to Nashville on Saturday to browse around Opry Mills and to see the lights and such at the Opryland Hotel. I wanted to go see ICE but it closed at 7pm and I wasn't aware of that and we didn't make it in time. But we did get to eat at the Rainforest Cafe :)
3. Congratulations extended to my old friend Holly who got engaged last week.
4. I am making Christmas cookies today. Yummy!
5. My cats chewed through one of our cords on our pre-lit tree! So now my bottom half of lights don't light up...good thing I have a handy husband who knows how to fix it.

I have more but I am in a super hurry today because I got lots to do! I just also wanted to take time to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!! I hope ya'll all enjoy your time with your families, and get some cool goodies :) Be safe, eat lots, and feel blessed. Happy Holidays!

This my friends

is going to be turned into one fabulous Christmas gift for Macy. The finished product will make it's debut on this blog well when it is finished. Hopefully by Sunday (keeping my fingers crossed!).

It's a busy time of the year

and of course I would come down with a bad cold right when I need to be most productive. So instead I have spent the last three days on my couch with kleenex, fluids, the book Eclipse, this laptop, and the remote.
Good news is I'm feeling better and tomorrow I have to hit the ground running. I have to make a much needed visit to the post office and I am D-R-E-A-D-I-N-G it! And I got to go get Callies stitches out since I am a few days over due on that one.
And *hanging my head in shame* I'm not done with Christmas shopping. Not even close! I can't wrap my presents till the day before Christmas Eve because my cats will tear the wrapping off. In fact we were only able to have ornaments on our tree for like 4 days because they couldn't resist climbing it and they broke one of our wedding ornaments! I was heartbroken but we have since located a replacement and will be getting it but still. Here it is Dec 16 and we have taken our tree down because my cats can't behave. Fortunately I have been able to keep my other Christmas decor up because they haven't been interested in it (knocking on wood).
When the new year gets here my boy cats are becoming outdoor kitties. I just can't have them tearing stuff up in my house, and 98% of the time they are the guilty party. They'll be able to get in and out of the garage and they'll sleep in there but they aren't seeming to be too happy indoors so I am going to let them see how they like the outdoors.
Other than that things are pretty good at the McClanahan house. I have a few things and creativeness posts coming up in the very near future. Some thoughts on 2009 will also be included. But for now I am heading off to dreamland so I can play catch up tomorrow and feel like I am being productive! Happy Tuesday!

10 on Tuesday

1. My cousins wedding went off smoothly. There was some issues with the cakes but all got fixed and we went on with the show. A few of the pics:


2. You might have noticed from some of the pics that I got bangs :) Of course my hair is all gussied up in those pics for the purposes of the wedding but I really like my new bangs. My BIL's girlfriend did them for me and I think she did a pretty good job :) I like my hair much better now.
3. I am just now getting my Christmas decorations put up. Yeah I have been slacking!
4. Boo to Auburn getting rid of Tuberville. Now comes the part of finding a new coach. Hopefully they'll get a good fit for the university. I am hoping good things for the football team in 2009.
5. I am at a huge loss on what to get my brother for Christmas. Him and my BIL are the hardest people to buy for!
6. I'm doing Christmas goodie baking this weekend. Yummy :)
7. I'm so sick of salespeople calling this house. I have these Bank of America people calling me all the time (like 10 times a day!) trying to get me to sign up for a plantinum card. I don't want it and I am sure as heck never doing business with Bank of America again (they were the ones that wouldn't help us out on the ID theft.)
8. I have made this really cute spice drop wreath. I'll post pics when I post my Christmas pics.
9. I want to see the movie 4 Christmases.
10. I have begun thinking about what I want to accomplish in 2009. The last year of my twenties and I am determined to make it awesome!

Happy Tuesday all!

Happy Birthday

To my wonderful hubby! Hope your day is fabulous and this year brings you much happiness :) I love you!

A crappy weekend...

was made slightly better today by this arriving on my front porch.


Now I just have to get my tree up so I can put them on there :)
