<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I’m sure one thing that each of
us has in common is that we like to laugh and be entertained. When I get the
opportunity to do both I jump all over it! On that note…a couple months ago the
hubby bought us tickets to the Steve Martin bluegrass concert (Steve Martin and
bluegrass you say??….yea…I did too). I was like….what? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Don’t get me wrong, </span><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">I've</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> always
loved Steve Martin. He’s funny and seems like a really nice guy, but does he
really write music and play the banjo? Why yes, yes he does and rather well </span><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">I've</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> come to find out!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">It was like a combination of
going to a laid back comedy club, a symphony show and a blue grass festival all
rolled into one. He played with the Steep Canyon Rangers and they were backed
up by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Sometimes it’s REALLY good to live in a
large metropolitan city….<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">It was so nice to be able to
have a grown up night out. We went to this really nice fish restaurant and then
on to the concert. It’s amazing what a night life Atlanta is getting to have
and the abundance of different restaurants. I’m sure we appreciate a night out
a little more than most cause we obviously don’t do it all that often.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

couple of weeks (okay maybe a month or so). I think my post every day for the
month of November kinda burned me out. </span><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">I've</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> been literally scrapping by on the

on today’s post was to be about Hailey’s increasing song requests for bed time.
The old standards are no longer enough for her….yes she has already figured out
how to prolong the bed time routine! She comes up with the most random song
requests. I have now had to resort to hunting down lyrics on the internet and
printing them out so I can sing songs to her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The latest two I just looked up
today are the words to The Tigger Song and Minnie’s Bow-tique. Before this
latest request, <span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">we've</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> been singing the Thomas the Tank Engine song and the old
Mickey Mouse song. There is NO earthly way that I’m going to remember the words

a period piece and has romance, drama and more drama….did I mention drama? I
don’t think that before this show I had ever watched anything on PBS from Masterpiece.
They’ve done an outstanding job and all the actors are awesome. You get sucked
right into the story. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

who my favorite character is...I’ve liked different people more or less in each
season. I guess a constant that I love is the Dowager Countess played by Maggie
Smith. I always love a good strong smart ass woman. Of course, we already know
and love her from Harry Potter from the fifty million times we’ve seen those
movies! You think I’m kidding? LOL<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Ok, I officially have the
heebee geebee’s. Now I know my kids have done some gross things over the years,
but yesterday my 13 y.o. did a doozey. Can we say….yuck?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">So to make a long story short…
The boy was making himself something for lunch and then went back to what he
was doing before. I came into the kitchen to find the counter a total mess (no
surprise there) and have him come back in to clean it up. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I proceed to leave the room
thinking no big deal…he can wipe up the counter and be done with it. Not so
much! I hear him letting the dogs in from the backyard and as I walk back into
the kitchen… what do I find? I find Tyler lifting our little dog up onto the
counter so he can lick the food up off of it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Needless to say (as I refrain
from tossing my own cookies)…I ask him…what are you doing? At this time Olivia
decides to come back into the room and informs me that this is NOT…I repeat NOT
the first time he’s done this! Can I tell you…I am STILL irked as I type this!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I don’t even know where to
start. We went out of town for Christmas this year and that brings on a whole
other set of stressors with trying to figure out logistics. How does Santa do
it? I finally had to just simmer down and come to the conclusion that if this Christmas
wasn’t all that great…that at least the older ones were on their last year of believing
and Hailey wouldn’t remember it past this year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I was thankfully stressed for
no reason. It went waaaayyy better than I thought it would. We got to Florida
the week before and were able to get all of our shopping done and wrapped with
NO issues…thank god!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">As for New Years Eve the hubby and I stayed home...you couldn't pay me enough to be on the road with all the drunk and crazy people (not to mention we were recovering from the drive home).</span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I’m supposed to be writing up a
great review for Perdue Oven Ready Chicken, but I’m not! Why, you ask? Well you
see a couple weeks ago I was asked to do a BzzAgent review for this product. I was
glad to do it…we eat chicken all the time and I’ve used Perdue products before
and loved them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Unfortunately it wasn’t meant
to be… One would think living in a Suburb of a large city that you would be
able to find most anything. Obviously not! I can’t even tell you how many grocery
stores I went to trying to find it…to no avail. I don’t even want to think of
all the gas I wasted in the process. LOL<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I would hope in the future that
the BzzAgent people and the company that needs the review would make sure of
product availability in the reviewers area. Funny thing is, I actually spoke to
the Meat Department Managers in several of my local stores to find out that
they did have the product a while back, but due to low sales they quit carrying
it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Oh well….at least I tried!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Between all of us getting sick
and other stuff…I hadn’t taken Hailey to see Santa yet this year. Well that was
until yesterday…she was so excited. We’ve been watching all kinds of Christmas
shows and of course her normal shows have had Christmas stuff as well (all in preparation
for the big day). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I don’t think she has quite got
the presents and Santa connection yet, but after Christmas this go round I’m
100% positive she will. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

mall (they always have an awesome Santa and scenery set up). I figured I’d
scope it out and see how busy they were cause there is NO WAY I’m standing in
some super long line with this one. I couldn’t believe it, there was only one
family ahead of us. Hailey could hardly contain herself to wait and mommy made
the mistake of letting her out of the stroller...thank goodness we didn’t have
to wait long!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was funny, the little girls ahead of us weren’t
too pleased about visiting with Santa and then the little one after us had a
complete melt down. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Hailey must be some kind of Santa
wonder or something because the Santa kept commenting on how good she was (and
I mean like over and over). I guess after we saw the last little girl have a
total cow it kinda makes sense. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Don’t get me wrong….I love
getting presents! I think though, I like giving a really good one even better.
I’m not one of those people that can just go at the last minute and grab whatever…it’s
got to be right. What can be any more right than giving someone what they
REALLY need??</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"></span></div>

are this time of year, but isn’t it a great time to stop for a minute and think
about those that have been injured or set back from unforeseen circumstances.
There are so many ways to give to your community that costs very little if
anything at all. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Hailey and I recently went
through all of her little baby toys and gave them to a family that really needed
it. The mom had to go on leave from her job very early in her pregnancy and then
ended up having her baby prematurely. Needless to say, she ended up staying
home a lot longer than they had planned. I’m sure going from a two income
family to one unexpectedly with three kids can be challenging. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was so excited to be able to help them out! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

came to my attention is the Holiday Hurricane Rebound program that is sponsored
by Touchstone Crystal (a member of the Swarovski Group). The goal of
this program is to support the roughly 250 independent business women on the east coast
that were severely affected by the effects of Hurricane Sandy. These women <span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">depend on income generated from in-home party sales</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> and were unable to have them due to the devastating effects of the storm.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The aim is to have people from
anywhere in the country partner with a specific Touchstone Crystal small
business owner on the East Coast that was devastated by the storm. In addition,
Touchstone Crystal will make double jewelry credit awards available to any remote
host who signs up for the program.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">A couple weeks ago I got my Alexia
Foods buzz pack from Bzz Agent. I hadn’t realized until I got the pack and
started looking through it that I’d eaten their foods before. I looked through
the box of goodies which included a reusable shopping bag and several coupons
for free some of their all natural products. Not to mention additional coupons
to pass out…so if anyone would like some $1 coupons just let me know!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Remembering to take my coupons
with me is the hard part….I don’t know about ya’ll, but I’ve tried the whole
coupon thing and can never remember the darn coupons (other than for diapers).
I did find Alexia products at Target, Publix and Kroger. I think Target
probably had the largest selection. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Hailey and I LOVE sweet potatoes
so I was really excited to try out the spicy sweet potato fries. We ended up
finding those and the regular curly fries. I was sneaky and didn’t let the rest
of the non-sweet potato eating family know what they are….<evil grin>. Of
course Hailey and I loved them, but the big shocker was that the hubby and my
oldest liked them as well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I nearly fell over when I saw
my oldest eating them….he HATES and I mean hates sweet potatoes. “I was like….you
do know what you’re eating…right??” And he was like “yup” and went right on
eating them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I would say that this was definitely
a thumbs up!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
