Things that put the H in Happy Holidays for me this weekend


my santa was real and riding slow on his motorcycle out in the countryside


Not as down as last week..must be partially hormonal as my 'lady time' arrived late after several weeks and 2 pregnancy tests later....


Things that made me very happy or at least smile this weekend

1. Finished my Christmas shopping on Amazon in 10 minutes on Saturday
2. Delivered the rest of the Christmas gifts for my Alabama family to UPS for shipment and only stood in line about 5 minutes.
3. Delivered Christmas gifts to church friends on Sunday
4. Santa riding a motorcycle down the highway
5. I'm a nature buff- I saw wild Turkeys and a coyote on the side of the road (alive) this weekend. and several cows.
6. Went for an impromptu drive in the country through the foothills of the Georgia mountains just to listen to and chill out as I listened to a broadcast of a 1986 concert by The Smiths that was rebroadcast on Siriux XM radio from the Live from the BBC vaults. The same concert that I had front row tickets to in Atlanta that was cancelled that year. Finally , 25 years later I get to hear it.
7. Pulled over and bought roasted peanuts from a roadside stand that mainly sold boiled peanuts and had a little laugh and chat with the southern gentleman that ran the stand.
8. Saw a solid black dog running with an orange in his mouth
9. Played with Star Wars lightsabers with my husband at Target
10. Shared many laughs and qualtiy time with my friend and her dad who is in Hospice. We also had tastings of Vosages Choclate with Bacon --we all loved it. We also drank Wayyyyyyy too much Egg Nog and Southern Comfort whiskey. He drank us both under the table and he was on other drugs too.
11. Slept. A lot.
12. Watched the season ending of Homefront on Showtime.
13. Drove around and found a house with a "nativity scene on steroids" --lifesized statues of everything under the sun in a nativity scene set up. Santa, reindeers, marching soldiers, saints, nutcrackers, snowmen, full religious scenery. ....and more ...I have to go back and slow down again to see more.
