Fwd: 12 Days of Christmas

My aunt sent this to me via e-mail and I thought I'd share it.

The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ.
Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments.
Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love.
The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John.
The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament.
The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation.
Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit--Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership and Mercy.
The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes.
Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit--Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self Control
The ten lords a-leaping were the Ten Commandments.
The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples.
The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief in the Apostles' Creed.

Merry (Twelve Days of) Christmas Everyone!

30 days????

So I previously mentioned waiting on pins and needles for the final grade from the class I took this past fall semester. Well I just checked and still no grade. So I called the school to inquire about a deadline for submitting final grades and was told:

online class - 30 days from the last day of class

So, the professor has until January sometime to submit my grade. That is so WHACK.

Countless down with 5 to go.......



I can't believe I still have gifts to get........woo's me. I totally forgot about my younger cousins. So now I have them (3) and my step father and husband left. At least I have a general idea of what I'm getting. And it goes a lil sumtin like this:

Cuz A - gift card for Target
Cuz B - gift card for Bath & Body Works
lil Cub G - something Pooh bear
Stepfather - Omaha Steaks, from my oldest niece

Hubby - Omaha burgers; his gift is a ski trip, so I've booked the trip and will frame the printed reservations. But I want him to have something to unwrap for Christmas.

And I just thought about it, I guess I have to get something from my oldest niece for my mother, so I'll grab a gift basket from Bath & Body Works.

Dang, I need to $25 gifts for the white elephant gift exchaneg we do.........I wonder if I can skip out of here early today?????




Oh, and I decided to give my grandmother a 8x10 picture of my nieces, so I need a frame for that.

Decent weekend

I had a pretty decent weekend. I didn’t do anything Friday night, but Saturday I awoke with a list of tasks I wanted to complete. And first up was the post office to mail my holiday cards. Yeah, I know I’m late. I got to the post office and the stamp machine wasn’t working and the sales counters were closed. I was shocked to say the least, the busiest time of the year and no sales counters?

Next stop was the library. I had quite a few books on hold and needed to return two. I returned Secret Life of Bees even though I still hadn’t finished it, but someone else had reserved it so I had to return it. I did get to Keeping Misery Company by Michelle Larks. It was a really good book, had me all tearing up and what not. Moving right along…..I picked up 9 books and finished reading one of the books already. I read Just Too Good To Be True by E. Lynn Harris in two days.

So I’m thinking if I can read one book in a weekend, provided it was a page turner, I can get some serious reading done. Huh, I’ll have to keep that in mind. At any rate, my plans were to read three books over the course of this 5 week school break, so that’s two down and one to go. And the way it looks I’ll surpass that goal; I have 8 books at home and 6 more to pick up from the library. I wonder how many I can get thru.

Dang this will be sort of a long post……..

After the library I dropped the books off at home and grabbed the items I needed to return. I hit A. C. Moore to return an item and re-purchase with a coupon I had. Then my mother called with a gift suggestion for my step father, so I hit up the Best Buy and grab that. I ran into my mother at Kohl’s, she wants perfume by Gwen Stephani, where I grabbed a gift for my niece from my grandmother.

Next stop was Kmart to return a slew of items I had put on layaway for both nieces. And I go a few pairs of pants for my cousin’s baby as well. Then I headed to the grocery store for a book of stamps to mail the holiday cards, and then to the post office for mailing. I was back home by 6 and proceeded to read that book and couldn’t put it down until the wee hours of the morning.
Sunday, I just lounged for the morning. I was hoping my little cousin would call me to tell me he was going to church. That way he and I could have hung out for the rest of the day. But my mother in law called first, so she and I rolled out to Annapolis Mall. And as soon as I picker her up, my little cousin calls and asks me to pick him up. I agree to pick him up when I get back from the mall.

After my trip to the mall where the only gift I got out of the way was my great grandmother, I headed on over to pick my cousin up and we went to visit my maternal grandmother. We dropped off some wrapping paper and addressed some cards for her. The night ended with lil cuz and I hitting up Target, eating pizza rolls and me taking him home.
So yeah, I’d say I had a pretty decent weekend. I’m looking forward to this coming weekend already.

Cold? More like FREEZING!

To say it's cold in the DMV (DC, MD & VA area) would be a huge UNDERSTATEMENT.




It's freezing outside.



Has me yearning for hot cocoa and I don't even like hot cocoa. So instead I'll go grab a cup of hot tea.
