And it’s snowing!  Maybe we’ll get a white Christmas after all.  I am very excited to see my family and give them the presents I’ve bought and made.  I’m almost ready and just have to get one last minute present, in case my knitting project doesn’t get finished in time today.  Oh and I need to get Harley a little something because he has been a very good boy this year.  I’m going to forego the Show and Tell this week, for now, because I just don’t have the time to put it together before we leave for our parent’s house.  I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday with family and friends.

Merry Christmas!

Haha… Here’s another photo of Harley in his sweater.  He got it from my sister and doesn’t really like to wear it itl, but it’s so funny to put it on him and watch him walk around.

“Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart.”

I am so excited!  Chad and I are off to do the last of our shopping and then all I need to do is bake and finish wrapping.  This might be the first year that I’m not scrambling on Christmas Eve day to finish up. Fingers crossed.

Do you have left to do before Christmas?

Meowers in his Christmas Sweater

Harley and I both like to read blogs.  Last night, as I was catching up on my reading, Harley kicked me off the computer to check out his favourite blog Raymi The Minx.

I’ve been so wrapped up in life and work that August just slipped on by.  I can’t believe that the Ex has come and gone and we’re in week 2 of September.  I’ve been seriously slacking on my posts lately, but I’ve been working away on new ideas and having my agency and blog sites redesigned, so there will be some fun new stuff to check out soon…

Here's a photo of an old dog of mine as a puppy..... He was so cute and bad.

I took this week off as a working vacation.  I really need a real vacation (and am hoping that someone will surprise me with an all-inclusive trip for two somewhere…hint, hint) but I don’t have anyone to take care of business while I’m away.  I’m in the process of hiring an Intern for the next 2-4 months, if anyone is looking or knows of someone looking, email me.  I cannot wait to have someone here to help out again.

Tomorrow I am a Maid of Honor for the first time and I’m pretty excited about it.  I have to say a speech and have been working on it sporadically today.  I have a bunch of points jotted down so I know what I want to say, but it feels unnatural to actually write a speech out.  This is such a monumental occasion I want to just say what’s in my heart.  I always get a little nervous public speaking, but there won’t be many people I don’t already know, so I should be fine.

See. They even like the same treats

That’s all for today.  I’ll be posting more regularly beginning next week and will have some fun projects and good news to show and tell in the coming weeks.

Yes.  It’s absolutely a true statement.  It’s 11:30pm and for the past hour I have been trying to figure out how to get my cat out of the garage next door.  I’ve rang the doorbell to both apartments numerous times and no one is answering, although every single light in the upstairs apartment is on.  I’m feeling very anxious and sad because I can hear him crying and it’s making me tear up

I really have no idea what to do.  I’ve tried to pick the lock, with a nail file and paperclip and also with my air miles card and I’ve tried to push open the big sliding door but it’s locked tight.  There’s not even a little hole for him to squeeze out.  This is the absolute worst feeling and I don’t know what to do and I’m all by myself.

I think he’s just going to have to stay in the garage all night.  He has an eye infection too and needs to get his drops.  I feel like the worst mother in the world right now.

And on TV right now is the freakin Sham Wow guy hawking the Slap Chop and Graty.  He can’t even cheer me up and I can get not one, but two of each right now.

This is my favourite picture of Harley.  I wish he was here.

Update: It’s 1:30am and Chad is home now and he called a locksmith to come.  Harley is meowing non-stop and it’s such a sad meow.

Update 2: 2:00am the locksmith came, opened the door and $120 later Harley is home, had some dinner and a drink, got his medicine and is curled up ready for bed.  Such a bad cat!
