Anyone want a cold, really can't seem to shake this one?!

So sorry to hear all of you that have been dumped on recently with so much snow! No I'm not, you keep it! But could live without all this cold, it is snappy out there today!

I am ready for Christmas, cards are sent, gifts are wrapped and I am ready to go. One more week, will be thinking of you all left behind in the snow and cold. Well I haven't packed, will do that this weekend probably, then I have lots of time to unpack and re-pack, that is what I do.

Was able to get Donkeys sound system all set-up finally, didn't realize how much we missed good quality sound when watching television. I think we have been spoiled in the past and just couldn't go any longer, you can't blame us with all the amazing deals going on with electronics this holiday shopping season.

My daughter and I went out to finish Christmas shopping yesterday, busy busy, and people are so grumpy. I think I say this every year regarding how miserable people are during the holidays, they would run you over in a heart beat for a parking spot, crazy. Always joke about the date being changed for Christmas, really people it is the same date every year, plan ahead!
New for us this year is Donkey and I not going out on one day and doing all the shopping together, he has lucked out this year, he won't know what everyone is receiving either this year, where all his hard earned money has gone. That will teach him for playing too much hockey! I am kidding, I don't mind the hockey playing, I get peace and quiet and keep my house tidy.

My daughter's American boyfriend had a terrible winter driving experience yesterday during the storm in Barrie, we told him not to go to the city. Today they are getting snow tires and a winter maintenance done on his poor southern car.
And with the bad driving conditions, my oldest son and his new car were unfortunate and his beautiful new car is in for body repairs, thank goodness he wasn't hurt, but I bet shook-up and pissed off. Why can't other drives share the road and be respectful of each others space, slow down people, you will get there.
I am so glad I am not doing the winter drive this year, I go days without leaving my peaceful little village and don't mind one bit, this is what retirement is meant to be, stay at home warm and cozy and watch the snow fall. Oh and go south at first chance! Did I tell you - one more week!!! Sorry am I rubbing it in? Yes, yes I am!

I have to go and get my little grand daughter today from nursery school, going to be a cold walk, thank goodness it is only up the road. And I would like to add that since Grama Bootcamp, they are doing great, things did stick. Kids were over for dessert last night, and really can see a change, the little cuties.

Sitting here listening to Christmas music and watching the little munch-kin eat her purple sandwich, don't ask.

Should really go and finish some laundry and then settle in with my book and a nice hot chocolate, with that I am off.

Happy a Happy Day

love and hugs
