I know I've been MIA for a few days . . . but I'm trying to get a lot of things squared away because tomorrow is THE day that I am finally having my tooth extracted. I've put it off as long as I possibly could, so now I just have to do it. At least waiting a couple of weeks has really let me get used to the idea so now I'm a little less terrified. Y'all may want to come by and check on Baby Boy and Mom #2 next week to see how life is REALLY going around here. I'll try to post a little bit, but frankly, no promises. I'm lucky if I get in a post every week when I'm feeling just fine.
Anyway . . . I thought I'd put up this little holiday meme, courtesy of Ami, to keep you busy while I'm letting some grizzly bear of a dentist put his big hairy hands in my mouth and cut out my wisdom tooth with a switchblade . . . breathe in . . . breathe out . . . everything will be all right . . . sorry I'm working on my positive thinking. It's not really working, but I am working at it.
*SIGH*
Luckily for all of you, I'm not tagging anyone for this meme; so If you've already done it . . . HURRAY; if not, feel free, but don't feel obligated.
So without further ado . . .
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper, hundreds and hundreds of rolls of wrapping paper.
2. Real tree or Artificial? Artificial, pre-lit, and only two pieces. Easy like Sunday Morning.
3. When do you put up the tree? On Black Friday, while all the psychos are shopping.
4. When do you take the tree down? January 2nd.
5. Do you like eggnog? Naturally, but Mom #2 makes a homemade Mexican hot cocoa to DIE FOR. That's what we usually drink around here, with plenty of whipped cream and a candy cane to stir it with. I'm drooling just thinking about it.
6. Favorite gift received as a child? My pink strawberry bicycle. It was to DIE for! (Yes, I was THAT girl.)
7. Hardest person to buy for? Mom #2, all she wants is Best Buy gift cards, tools from Home Depot, and Dallas Cowboys paraphernalia. I mean really, how unoriginally lesbo-ie can she be?
8. Easiest person to buy for? Myself. I KNOW what I like ;-)
9. Do you have a nativity scene? Nope.
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Neither . . . did I forget to mention . . . Happy Holidays to you and yours. There. Christmas cards . . . done.
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? A very scary Santa Clause trinket from my poor grandmother. It looked like the Devil himself had made it in ceramics class. Tragic.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? A Diva's Christmas Carol . . . I know . . . typical; but it's really good and Vanessa Williams looks delicious.
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? I gather things all year long so when December comes I just have to start wrapping.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Oh, yes. 'Nuff said.
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? My Mom's dressing. She may be crazy, but that woman can cook!
16. What decorations are on your tree? Every year since the three of us (Mom #2, Baby Boy, and myself) have been a family, we get a new original personalized Christmas ornament and add it to our tree. They're beautiful! If I feel like getting off my butt later, I'll post photos.
17. Favorite Christmas song? I can't pick, I like them all. I am one of those sickos who can listen to Christmas music all year round.
18. Travel at Christmas or stay at home? STAY HOME! Did you hear that, Mom? I LIKE TO STAY HOME!
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? Yes . . . but you can google them for yourself. ;-)
20. Angel on top of tree or star? An African American Angel, of course, she's wearing a white dress to honor Mom #2. He he he . . . I mean ho ho ho.
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or Christmas morning? Christmas morning, have patience, good things come to those who wait.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? TRAFFIC!
23 What theme or color are you using when you decorate? Blue and silver . . . not traditional . . . but beautiful (you know, if I do say so myself . . . and I do)
24. Favorite for Christmas dinner? The one where I just show up and eat.
25. What do you want for Christmas this year? A new house . . . everyone start praying RIGHT NOW!
Now you all know way too much about my Holiday Habits. Hope you had fun!
Until next time . . .

Great job on your meme!!!
Don't worry about your tooth. I had all 4 wisdom teeth took out at the same time and I don't remember that week at all! I just know my momma said I was higher than a Georgia Pine and enjoyed the whole thing! It don't take much to make loopy anyways!
Good luck with your tooth, I know it will be fine. Let Mom #2 and Baby Boy wait on you for a long time afterward, no need to rush recoveries. You can enjoy them so much more when you feel good! (((hugs)))
Good luck on your tooth. Good luck on your house!
Hope the dentist's hands are not so hairy!
hum, so maybe Mom#2 can ride your Pink strawberry bike in her white dress to home depot? That would take care of that pesky cliche!
