So I had a really good weekend! I mean, technically, we should go back to Thursday. Thursday night was the local RWA chapter Christmas party. (Lacy and I in pic) We had yummy food, a fabulously fun elephant exchange (I got a Casanova figurine and a Peace candle!), and then everyone who sold in the past year got silk roses. Granted, there were two different colors for the sales. White for RWA recognized, and peach for small pub and epub. I came away with 7 roses! (I didn’t get my Samhain sale in in time.)
Friday I went and got pics of Emma with her 1/2 sister with Santa….soo didn’t go over well. “MOOOOOMMMY! Noooooo!” Wailing, back arching, terrified out of her mind. Maybe next year Emma’ll be ready.
Saturday I woke up at the butt crack of dawn to take Emma on the Santa train with Lacy and her kids. That was a lot of fun! Well, the actual train part. The whole getting off the train and waiting in line after line (cookies, santa) not so much. (The pic is her reaction when the train began to move!) Then Emma and I went to Lacy’s later in the day to celebrate her birthday! Pizza, cake, cookie baking. Mmm good times! And the best part, I fell asleep with Emma at 8 and slept till 7 in the morning. Oh it was sheer bliss. I haven’t had 11 hours of sleep since she was born.
And today I went to a cookie and ornament exchange party. Good times. So yeah, the holidays are in full swing! My signing is next Saturday, and I’m super excited! Still have no idea what I’m wearing. Sigh. We’ll see. On a yucky lame note, I think I have an ingrown toenail. The side of my big toe is somewhat purple and painful to the touch. I think I may be in for a trip to the doc.
So how was your weekend?
Congrats on the beautiful bouquet! LOL about Emma and Santa.
Glad you guys had a fab weekend. My was great too! I havent left my house in 48 hours! :D
We had a busy weekend. Working on trying to buy our first house. I hope it will go well but haven’t recieved all the answers yet. Sounds like you had a fun weekend. I haven’t even tried to get Mckenzie to take pics with Santa this year. I know she will freak.
Sounds like you had a great time. Emma is a doll! I spent most of the weekend writing.
Signing? Where? When? We want to come see you… details please, I have to put you on my calendar!!
Sounds like you had so much fun! Too cool.
Went to a Christmas party, got drunk. I had a good time. ;)
That is a terrible pic of the crying kid, btw. lol
Sounds like you had a busy weekend! I pretty much vegged out lol.
Wow, your RWA party looks so fancy! Mine was fun, but there were certainly no silk roses. Congrats on winning all those!
Sorry to hear about your toenail :-(
I want to go to YOUR RWA party! How fun.
So, is Samhain RWA recognized?
Oooh a party! With gifts! Why wasn’t I invited??!?
I love that last photo, it’s a classic! ;)
Our chapter’s Christmas party is in the morning. Hope it’s as fun as yours looks — my weekend sucked and I need a pick-me-up. Had to babysit a terror of a 6yo all weekend and work on the farm books. Meanwhile, two of my kids came down with stomach virus.(yuck)
I LOVE this picture. Almost used it myself. We must hang at the same photo sites. :D
We had our RWA Christmas party this weekend too!! And we do flowers but I think they hand them out in January when we start over….The boys were supposed to go to their dad’s (long story) but didn’t but they ended up staying the night at Dennies (she’s got FOUR). I slept late Sunday, got the kids, did laundry, cooked and wrote.
