Wednesday in Numbers
1 bottle of wine that I broke at the liquor store. I was trying to Rachel Ray it to the check-out counter. Next time I'll use a cart.
2 attempts at the drive-thru Christmas light place. Took us 42 minutes and 29 seconds from the beginning of the line to the end of the lights. Not bad. The kids loved it.
3 items that were in the shipment that Amazon finally deemed lost. P.S. their customer service is great.
4 Christmas cookies that I ate after mentally limiting myself to just one because I ate too many the day before. I can't stop.
5 is the number of the ex-Cardinal player that was seen at lunch. Good to know that we're not the only ones who enjoy cheap Mexican food.
6 days until Christmas. Are you ready? I'll be done when the above mentioned 'lost' package makes it my way.
On tomorrow's to do list? 2 words. Rum Balls. Because I've never made them and I'm convinced Christmas will be better with them around.

New Christmas Traditions
I am always looking for new Christmas traditions to start with the family. The kids brought a Christmas book home from the library on the subject so I took a look and wanted to share them with you. Because they're pretty strange and if you're like me you enjoy that sort of stuff.
Happy Tuesday!

Thank You, La Nina
Today was a great day.
Windows open, breeze flowing through, birds chirping, and...the Christmas tree lights a blazing?
It was 77 degrees today where I live and that's just not the norm. We broke a record yesterday for the temperature hitting 75.
It is messing with my head. It's December 3rd and it smells like springtime in the house. Vance was happy because he could wear shorts to school and it's amazing how much faster I can buckle/un buckle Vaughn and maneuver through errands without puffy winter coats.
I know it won't last. In fact, there's a cold front coming in later this week. But this has been a huge sign that the older I get the less I like to be cold or deal with the cold weather. I've always said that I could move back to Wisconsin and be happy - snow and all. Until today. I think I've officially changed my mind.
How about you? Do you prefer hot or cold?
