Last night, I got all of our Christmas present wrapped and put under the tree. I AM DONE!!!!!! I will still find myself buying some stocking stuffers for Neil and Lila, but other than that...I can relax.

Sick of being sick!
All three of us are sick...BOOO! What do you expect? It's the holiday season. Everyone is out, sick or not, and getting their nasty germs on everyone else. We went to the doctor last Wednesday thinking that Lila had an ear infection. Turns out she just had fluid in her ears. Basically, we just had to sit around and wait for the fluid to turn into an infection...and it did. Poor girl was miserable all weekend. We finally went to the doctor Monday afternoon and BAM...ear infection. It was at that point that we got the big referral to the ENT. While I hate that she keeps getting the ear infections, I will be anxious to see what the ENT doctor tells us; whether we need to get the tubes or not. The thought of her having to go through this makes me sick, but I know that it will make her better in the long run.

These are a few of my favorite things...
I was thinking of this song the other day and wondered why it was considered a Christmas song. My mom and I couldn't decide, but we did agree that it's time to watch the movie again...and Lila will love it I'm sure. She'll especially love my mom and I dancing around singing (in our completely in tune voices) to EVERY song that comes on. Yes, she knows we're crazy!
It also got me thinking of some of my favorite things. There's the obvious things...my wonderful husband, who I just so happen to think is the BEST husband in the whole world. Even when he drops his coat in the middle of the floor and I trip over it or when he ignores me because he's watching a ballgame...even then I think he's the best husband in the world. He loves me, he sticks up for me, and he is a great Daddy to Lila.
Which brings me to my next favorite thing...my beautiful daughter. She never ceases to amaze me...in good ways and bad. She is so smart and is also a smarty pants. Her attitude makes her who she is and will probably make for some wonderful mother/daughter fights in our future, seeing as to how she already shakes her head and tells me "no". :)
Then there's my family...I love every single one of them with all my heart. If I went in to detail, you'd still be reading this on December 7, 2012...I don't care how fast you read.
Top 3 favorite songs right now:
1. I Don't Want This Night To End - Luke Bryan (I love him)
2. A Woman Like You - Lee Brice (I just hear this for the first time yesterday and cried...I'm a little emotional right now. It immediately reminded me of Neil)
3. All Your Life - The Band Perry (I love all their stuff)
Top 3 favorite TV shows right now:
1. Revenge - Thanks Deanna. I love this show so much. I love the lead character and how she always gets the job done, no matter what.
2. Modern Family - Nuff said...
3. The Biggest Loser - It is such an inspiring show. I cry a lot when I'm watching mainly because it's amazing to me to watch people choose to change their lives' for the better and then DO IT.
Top 3 favorite websites:
1. Facebook - Seriously, people? Did you really think I'd put something else?
2. Pinterest - DUH...I'm obsessed...only slightly more than Facebook, however.
3. Amazon - Sometimes I just get on there and do a blind search. I look for the first thing that pops in my head and see how cheap they have it. It's weird, I know, but I'm always in awe of how cheap some of their stuff is.
Is there anything else you wanna know? Post a comment and ask!

More Pinning
I can post this because it is a gift for my dad and I'm fairly certain that he doesn't read my blog. If you do, Dad, sorry. Stop reading now so it doesn't ruin Christmas.
I have, once again to my surprise, successfully pinned and completed another DIY project.
I didn't take pictures for a step-by-step guide, but I will try to explain the best I can remember.
First, I got my masking tape and placed it on the glass. The very wide masking tape would work the best, but all I had was the skinny kind. I overlapped the tape so there was no area where I was going to monogram that wasn't covered.
Second, I drew (in pencil...because I ALWAYS mess up) the block letter that I wanted etched.
Third, I got a knife. Pretty sure you're supposed to use an exacto knife, or something similar. I chose the most dangerous way, since my husband was working the ER that night, and used a paring knife..freshly sharpened and hoped for the best. I cut along the lines of the letter that I just drew. Once I was done, I peeled the letter off.
Fourth, I very thickly applied the Etch Armor to the glass. Waited about 10 minutes (my directions said 5-7, but I got sidetracked with another project.
Fifth, I rinsed the Etch Armor off with very hot water and then took the tape off. I wiped it clean and BAM! You have a monogrammed beer mug that makes a great gift!!
I took a couple different pictures to show how they turned out. I will be making more, so next time, I'll post step-by-step pictures. I hope this helps though!!
