Countdown to Christmas: Day 1 December 1st

I've started a countdown to Christmas.  I saw a cute scrapbook with that theme, so maybe if I blog about it, then i could fill the scrapbook later....maybe, I'm pretty far behind on my scrapbooking.  I did manage to do about four pages Monday night over the Fall fest this year.  That's a big accomplishment these days.  I plan on going to a crop next Saturday, but a birthday party and a Christmas party are on that day too so I don't know how much I will get done.  

Countdown Day 1 started out horrible.  I woke up with a migraine bad enough to call in sick. I took some meds and went back to bed, and managed to go to work for the afternoon.  Still, I haven't felt good all day.  One good thing happened before work, though.  I reached into my winter coat (it has been sooo cold the past couple of days) and found five dollars! Really, I'm not just saying that to make my story any better.

After work and dinner, Chase and I went to Wally world.  We picked up a gift for my niece I had shipped to store, and then bought a few groceries.  Chase was pretty antsy and trying to grab everything.  I eventually headed to the cookie aisle and got some cookies (Nila wafers) which may have been a mistake.  He just yelled cookie, cookie constantly for the next 15 minutes while I finished shopping.  I had to open the box before we got out the door.  He had quite a few, but I couldn't resist helping myself to a few too.  If only I had some Nana puddin' to go with it!

Another delivery from the UPS man arrived today.  I think he now knows me on a first name basis.  I have done 99% of my Christmas shopping online, and absolutely love Amazon.com.  I probably will get a package every day for the next two weeks. 

Cookie, cookie!

Chase has been going to bed later and later these days. He used to get cranky at bed time, but now he just gets funny.  So cute, in fact, it is hard to put him down to bed.  We played chase, choo choo and tickle monster a while before I came in to the office.  He came in shortly thereafter and had fun pulling everything off the bookcase next to me.  I have a bit of a mess to clean up, but my bed is calling my name.
