I've Lost My Cookies!

Every site I've tried to access this morning that's supposed to keep me logged in seems to have dropped my cookies and I've had to (remember how to!!) log back in again. You know, if I had to login every day, I could probably remember my password and screen names a little better. Sad fact of aging (though, mind you, I've only just begun...barely!!) I can't remember things so well anymore! Well, there's just too many things I have to keep track of in a day to make brain space available for passwords and screen names! Schedules and menus and upcoming appointments and where shoes are and keys and hidden dog chewies, what book I'm reading, where I left off on the Zumba DVD, and when Harry Potter is coming on (Half Blood Prince today!!!!!) You think the computer could cut a girl a little slack...not so, not so...

Anyway, we've been enjoying our Jesse Tree devotionals every night at dinner this week and I took a couple pics to show our tree's progress. Dry erase markers aren't the easiest or most cooperative medium for young artistic hands but Michael's doing a great job:

Below is my calendar version for the Jesse Tree and a new postcard I designed this week for our Snail Mail Challenge. Michael wrote a letter to his sister for his weekly contribution and this postcard will get mailed out next week with my Christmas cards.



We have a busy week ahead of us: Tucker has his neutering surgery on Tuesday, poor love!! My heart is already aching for him--I hate for him to be in any pain...Please keep him in your prayers for a speedy recovery! Wednesday (snow in the forecast!) we're supposed to finally get our new kitchen countertop installed--it's only sat in our basement for the past year! I can't wait to see it in place. All good things come to those who wait, right? Then this weekend at the Old Stone House in Slippery Rock, they're having their Christmas Open House Friday evening and then Saturday and Sunday they are hosting the tenth annual Civil War Christmas. I can't decide which I'd rather do, or if we'll drive up for both...Hmmm....And! We have a Christmas party to go to Saturday night, so that should be a lot of fun!

I am just about finished with Christmas shopping, maybe one or two more things and I'll be done. I still have the greater portion of wrapping yet to do, hopefully I can get that tackled later this week. Maybe I'll even drag some of the decorations out and start decking the basement and getting ready for our company--hopefully that will get me more in the spirit, I need a little boost this year!

Rotten One and Rotten Three on cat patrol...I'll never have good furniture...*sigh*
