Super Bowl 2035

I am making a little prediction about Super Bowl 2035:

Brady vs. Brady!
Tom Brady has now officially fathered another boy which can only mean that someday both Brady boys will go up against each other in a future Superbowl.
John Edward Thomas Brady Vs. Baby Bündchen Brady
Also, who is going to call the winner of the biggest girl fight in history?
Momma Bridgett vs. Momma Giselle

VS.

Spirit

I don't know what Magic was floating around this weekend, but my camera was taking really nice pictures, so I'm just going to bore you with random pictures of my Christmas Decorations.
I did however see 2 movies this weekend. Neither of them would I recommend.
The Road was depressing, dark and disturbing. Well made, but not something I would tell anyone to see.
Men Who Stare at Goats was awful. There was no point and it wasn't very funny.
I watched Elf last night just to put me back in the Christmas spirit. "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is to sing loudly for all to hear." Amen, Buddy the Elf!

And I present you with more Christmas Spirit:















(i swapped out my regular papers and put holiday papers in the frames)


(um yeah, these are actual Shabby Chic stockings. puke)


(The best decoration of all!)

Sabro's Christmas House

I really am not happy with my new camera. My last camera was a little gem. It took nice pictures that I was happy to post. But first i dropped it at my friend's cabin and then I dropped it in the sand at Lake Michigan. Sand and lenses to do not mix.
Anyway, I took lots of lovely pictures of my barfy Christmas decor. But I don't think the pictures will do it justice. So sorry. I wish I still used my SLR Daddy Mack Mega Camera with REAL film! (hence, i am cheap and don't want to pay for processing)...




(this is my window box. the blue star is in honor of police officers, the white pine cones are a hybrid from a new pine tree, they light up too! amazing)




(this is my holiday "woodsy" chic display. my favorite part is the orange extension cord.)



(this is my little village, somewhere in there you will find an idiot)



(yes, i have a pink Christmas tree. yes, that is a real shabby chic angel on the top. grody to the maxx!)


(here are some ways to Keep Calm & Carry On)

YELLOW!

I have a bad laptop at home so I didn't realize that my background color yellow was SCREAMING at people, so I've toned it down for you. Thank you Sabro... MY EYES! MY EYES!

I had 5 lovely days off of work!
The fun started Tuesday night when I invited all my crazy co-workers over for a little partay. We ate fried food, put on a fashion show and danced to the Jackson 5 on my record player. It was probably the most fun I've had at a party in a long time.
Dance, Sing, Go Crazy! Lather Rinse Repeat!

I also had two Thanksgivings dinners, did some power shopping, decorated both my parent's house and my house inside and out for Christmas. AND I got to see my long lost Michigan transplant Shannon! Thanks for dinner! I wish someone would pay me in Layers. Priceless.

I will post some pictures of my Christmas decor... it's so cute I could barf.

What a Woman!

Did you all see my HERO Stephanie Nielson on the Today Show this morning? If not, check it out here! That woman continues to Rock my socks off!!! Every time I read her blog, or see an interview I am reminded of all the things I am thankful for, and how precious life is. What an inspiration!

Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope all of you have lovely moments of Thanks & Giving!

Yay Me!

On November 1st I went to the DMV to get new tabs for my licence plates. I took a number, waited in line and finally my number was called. I proceeded to purchase my tabs and once I collected my tabs I was on my merry way. I walked gingerly out to the parking lot, tabs in hand and walked towards my car. First I put the front tabs on, then I went around and put the back tabs on. From there I got my keys out and went to unlock my car door. I put the key in the lock and then much to my horror, I realized... THIS IS NOT MY CAR!!!!
In a moment of panic I went to the front plate and unsuccessfully tried pealing off the first tab. When that didn't work I went to the back and tried pealing off the other tab, no luck!!! I was mortified!!!! I had to go back in and get new tabs. They all laughed at me. They asked me, did it even look like your car? Um... sadly, not really.

Books I Read in 2019

Here it is, my once a year blog post. This year I read 38 books. I always aim for 52 books, but life happens. I read more non fiction last ...
