Things I Learned.....



Things I learned this week-end...

It is always when you are in a rush that you run into
someone that you have not seen forever
note to self ~ slow down


when they say to not to fill the cupcake liners
they are telling the truth
still delish ~ but not very pretty!


wrapping paper ~ ribbons & bows
plus a dog and a cat
= kaos


some cookie dough can be refrigerated and baked later
my Grandmother's shortbread recipe
is not one of those ~ butter 1 Lori 0


making a grocery list for 2 weeks is challenging
when you are used to going every week


I am very very fortunate and blessed


a couple bottles of wine and good friends
= lots of laughter and good times


real trees need water and if you neglect them
the needles will drop = big mess


slivered almonds + your favorite cheeseball recipe
= cutest party food ever!


my to do list is dwindling
I actually took some time yesterday just to sit

the week-end was productive and fun
all rolled up into one

this week is just little things
I see a trip to the book store and an eggnog latte
in my future.

My wish for you on this countdown week
(6 more sleeps)
is a stress free time
lots of eggnog
and that you have joy in your heart.

Loved the candlelit pic. I can't imagine running into someone here that I know. That would feel so good. Have a great week friend.

Love your weekend! Mine was insane!! It took me 30 minutes to drive less than a mile - many other shoppers out on Saturday too. The only bad part is they were NOT as cheery as me! LOL I don't know why people can't be nice during the holidays... so frustrating!!

Wish I could meet up with you for that latte!
