This is really cool, especially if you pick the snowman... pardon the bad pun.
A local grocery is allowing you to log on to their website, and set up a call that can be made to someone from Santa, a snowman or from Tony Stewart... you set the recepients name, the date and time of the call...

Merry Christmas Y'all (Imagination Required)

Welcome! All "that snow" last week down here in Texas put us in the Christmas Spirit. I am running a little late, but made my goal to participate in the Tour of homes this year.

There are alot of postings I have read about downsizing decorations, and not being perfect... trust me... I don't have to worry about that! Cause I am not anywhere close! So, I will share the best, and I hope you enjoy!


A little Christmas Cheer on the couch....


Fireplace area with an attempt at garland, after getting inspired by The Nester and all of those beautiful creations I saw last year... don't worry... I will be removing that "Minnie Pearl" tag from that topiary all by myself in a little bit. Or, maybe not... cause that's how I roll! Did you like the festive touch the Guitar Hero drum set provides? It has red and green on it so we're gonna make it work!



I am really proud of my garland.... let's just hope it stays up.

You need to use your imagination now....


and pretend this treeskirt is under the tree.... instead of drying after being defiled by.......



..........B E L L A.... and then there's the matter of that tail.


But there is way too much testerone in this house to worry about things getting broken. And that paint color. What was I thinking?


Ohh! The Santa movie is on....
So I am going to sit here and enjoy it! I hope you have enjoyed our tour as well!



*SIGH*

Update: A Request

Original post here

As I was making phone calls yesterday, I dialed the wrong number off of the list I was given. I was told they thought the other lady's condition was improving...don't stop- please continue to pray. Thank you, Lord Please continue to watch over her and her family and any that come in contact with them.

Alyssa was very nauseated yeserday and couldn't keep her pain medicine down, we just returned from a 2nd night in the ER. Was dehydrated but after iv fluids and pain meds, the staff was able to finally get a little blood after 10 or so sticks- hands arm, feet. After that and another exam, and more tests, they don't see signs of internal bleeding, or concussion...and think the nausea was just result of the medication. We'll see an Ortho Wednesday. She still thinks she is going to work Tuesday & school Tuesday night. Off to check on her and take a little nap.
Thank you Lord.

A Request.

My child's in pain.(Read here.)

This is the child who has never had a day of detention, let alone a broken bone. This is my child that goes to college, works full time, and has two part time jobs...

This is my sweet girl that wanted to be a vet from the age of 5 when we saw a flattened squirrel on the road during a post Thanksgiving Day Dinner walk. She thought she needed to give it CPR. I was able to catch her before she reached him. Her career goals have changed but her heart hasn't.

The broken collarbone, the assortment of "goose eggs" all over her body, the minor cuts and scratches & the slivers of glass we are picking out of her are all temporary.

The speed limit on the road was 60mph. I asked the state trooper if there were skid marks, and he said no.

She is able to feel her injuries - Thank you Lord; as I can't imagine the alternative.

I am grateful that the fire dept and ems were so close... I think they were at the scene in less then two minutes. I am grateful for her co-worker from the vet clinic that was at the scene of the accident shortly thereafter. Thank you Lord for sending such skilled people to tend to my child.
I haven't told her the other driver was transferred. She was very upset when she realized she was in her 70's. When should I tell her?
As a Momma I have done all I can for my sweet Alyssa, making sure she has her medicine through the night, and is as comfortable as can be.... I have no control over the situation, or the other driver - but I can request prayer. I don't know her name, all I know is the collision was in Fulshear TX on FM 359 at approx 5:30 pm central Saturday,but every prayer is greatly appreciated. Please Lord, be with her and her family.
Thank you,

Alyssa's Momma
