How many miles????

I looked at my odometer this morning as I was nearing work and it read 177,777. So pulled to the side of the road next to the big Mercedes Benz holding lot (not sure what they really do in there but it's full of Benzes) and took a picture. Pretty crazy to think Jackass has traveled so many miles in 10 1/2 years!

Monday, we celebrated 12:12 at Uncle Jed's and two of the original founding fathers, Henry and Billy, showed up. We had more than the required 12 people at the party, so another year of good luck! William did an awesome job planning this event and everyone had a good time reminiscing about past 12:12 events. William had a bunch of door prizes, including surge protectors, a universal remote, and a flash drive. I won the grand prize... a 12-pack of Natural Light beer, a favorite of Henry's. I was hoping to win the Spongebob disposable camera. The beer may find a bow on it and regifted to a lucky Chumado.

Busy weeks (and weekends) coming up. Gift purchasing and crafting - almost complete. I'm about 3 hours away from completing my brother's birthday gift. I still have to figure out what to get my new brother-in-law, but luckily, I have a list. I know what I want to get/do for about 5 other folks on my list... I just have to get to the store or find a few extra hours in the day.

I can't wait for my stamping stuff to come in! I plan on making gift tags and it should be a fun day of wrapping and stamping. I started making these cute little knit hats for cards, but that project has been sidelined for now. Where does the time go???

OH... and then there's the baking and cooking. I have to make a cellophane noodle salad for a party on Saturday, bake brownies for my company holiday lunch next Thursday, bake cookies in general, make a special food gift for Susan, and plan our X-mas day menu as John and I have the family over to our place. Actually, the menu is planned... just need to get the ingredients and put it all together. And clean the house! Whew! I'm tired just thinking about it! Happy Holidays!
