So my "diet challenge" with my mom isn't going so great on my end. People are constantly bringing me sweets at work and well, I would just HATE to be rude and not eat them :) Basically at this time I have no will power, I'm working on getting it back.
I finally got my Christmas cards mailed out and I must say the picture on them is pretty darn cute. I do have the cutest dog in the world (I am a little biased, but she's pretty awesome). I can't believe that Christmas is only 11 days away, I still feel like I have so much to get done. Packing to go home for over a week is always difficult for me, I feel like I need choices on outfits and end up packing enough to stay for the month.
I was talking with a friend at work today and it made me realize how lucky I am. During this season it's so easy to get "down" and feel stressed with money, time, etc. But at the end of the day I have everything I need and so much more. I am so blessed and it's so easy to forget sometimes. This real reason for the season is often forgotten in all the madness and that's not the "reason for the season". I'm trying to remember that as I am getting into the final days of shopping, traveling, etc.
Speaking of shopping, I have a lot left to do. I am the worst shopper for presents. I always want to give the BEST gift and I can shop for hours (literally) and come out with nothing because I couldn't find the PERFECT gift. I literally walk around store after store and touch EVERYTHING and pick up a couple "ideas" but put them back because they aren't just right. So I guess this week I will be spending some time at the crowded malls and fighting the crowds looking for those perfect gifts!!!
I hope everyone is enjoying the season and pray that everyone takes time to enjoy the moments and remembers the real reason for the season!
All my Love!
