The Holidays!
Wow! This year is flying by. Josh and I both continue to be super busy with work. The fun part is coming home and bringing in the mail. We got so many cute cards! I also have been sliding the packages under the tree except for one. My Dad sent yummy "angel food candy." I don't even want to tell you how much of it I ate. Thank God it's cool enough here to wear sweaters and hide those extra pounds from all the sweets!
Josh and I found ourselves at the post office this weekend once again. I hope everyone gets there treats on time. The lines here are so big. Now they have machines where you can scan/meter your own packages the problem is there are so many people that just aren't computer wizzes.
Josh and I finally got together with friends this week too our schedules are making it really hard to make plans with other couples! It was nice to get out and hang out with some friends. Josh got away from the office this weekend-he had to tell his boss how he hasn't Christmas Shopped yet! I think he actually felt bad for him (he didn't have to go in today either). So we went to Tyson's Mall, split up for a bit, and shopped for one another. Tyson has really great stores but it's just so darn big. Of course it's too cold out to go with out a jacket but it's blasting hot inside. Seriously it happens every year at the malls, can't they figure out to adjust the heat accordingly throughout the day! I guess it's what makes it memorable. Hope everyone is ready for Christmas!

I saw a snowflake!
Last night it finally tried to snow. After living years in WI, then going to Germany-I can say I truly miss snow. I shouldn't even write home about it because I don't think it would even be considered a dusting back in the Fox Cities-but a little white flake for some reason makes it feel a little more like the holidays! Josh misses the snow because Ju-Ju goes WILD! To add to the story I walked to the store and bought the ingredients to make cut out cookies. I made the dough, chilled it, baked them, and will be frosting this evening. If there are any left! Ju-Ju and Josh seem to think they are good before I frost and decorate them. Oh well!
We are still working crazy hours. For me this time of year it is to be expected. Families want there homes to look nice for the holidays. And in the fall we usually have the biggest sale of the year-which makes custom furniture ship (6-12). We also extend the hours. I can't wait until after the first of the year. The pressure of deadlines may kill me soon. The decorator I assist is getting really sick and burnt out-Last week he said "If the police ask, tell them I did it!" " No Drama, no mini series" He said that because he was ready to kill our boss/his partner! The holidays can put people in retail in a really good mood. Tis the season...
