Christmas Shopping has officially begun!
So, I've spent part of this morning looking online at some personalized Christmas ornaments and updated my wish list for the year! I LOVE ornaments and have started a bit of a tradition to buy them for everyone on my list every Christmas. Can't have too many ornaments right???
I found ones for the new babies this year, the ornaments that are personalized and say "baby's first christmas" 
All the kids on my list get one and then my sister and younger brother and his wife.
So, I've been having fun doing that! Course it's hot again, hot hot hot and I am not impressed with this weather especially given the fact that I am fighting off a nasty cold thanks to Hannah Banana. Oh, it's awful, but today I feel much better although I'm still sneezing some and coughing, but it's better!
I am also quite proud of myself this morning too. We had a leak in the bathroom that was ruining our kitchen ceiling. Plaster falling down and it didn't look good. This area is directly under our tub upstairs so I began to investigate yesterday while Hubby, who isn't much into home repair was at work. Well, first I called four different plumbing outfits and no one could come! Imagine that!!! Too busy they all said while in the meantime my kitchen ceiling is falling in! So, anyway, I called a friend, she's always done her own home repairs and she came over. We started checking things out and discovered that it was most likely the fact that my tub and shower tiles were leaking because all of the calking around it was loose and or missing. (My house is old btw) So, we started pulling things up, found out that sure enough water was getting behind the tiles and running down the wall and it was a mess. So, we spent the entire day fixing and repairing and this morning Dev gave it the first test, showered and no water in the kitchen ceiling!!!! YEAH!!!! Oh yeah, hubby was quite impressed too! LOL Course, I may have shot myself in the foot cuz next time something happens he'll just think I'll take care of it!!! LOL
Oh well, problem fixed for the moment, but I still want to do something better with it later on.
Well, guess that is enough rambling for one day. Hope everyone is having a great week!
