Busy busy busy...

'Tis the season for me to lose my mind with busyness.

I'm sure you all feel the same way around this time of the year.

I'm really excited that Christmas is around the corner.  Ethan really does make all the insanity and shopping worth it - though, he's not the main reason for the season.

I just love how my friends and family gather together to worship our King.

I also love the Black Friday festivities.

It's just not Christmas until Kate and I have dragged ourselves around

town in the middle of the night and to spend more

money than we probably should.

We're kidnapping her sister, Ham, this year.

Mwuahahahhhaa!!!

Pictures to come on Monday, I'm sure!

This is how I've started weighing myself.

The good news is that I've lost like 220 lbs this way!!

Haha.

Really though, I'm down 10lbs and have started going through caffeine withdrawals so bad that I had to drink a coke today to make my headache go away.

I just need to be more disciplined with eating right and working out.

I'm doing ok so far but I know these are the key.

On a more random note - I saw this picture on the new failblog.org site: Win!

Haha - it says to Call 911 to buy it!

It's funny because that cop car is from Arlington, TX - where I went to high school.

Arlington PD always sets out decoy cop cars off of I-30.

People who aren't from our neck of the woods always slam on the breaks thinking

there's really a cop in there.  The rest of us know better and continue speeding down the highway.

(totally just told on myself)

In more relevant news...

I'm starting an etsy shop!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's what I'm thinking for my banner and name.

What do you guys think?

(totally open to suggestions!)

I'm going to start selling some of my antiques and vintage finds.

I'll also sell some of my embroidered goods and other crafty creations.
