Whewww...

It's a LOT of work pimpin' yourself out all the time!!  I listed items on etsy all day yesterday, promoted my blog all over the place and tried to get on Barbara Walters "Most Fascinating People of 2010" show... 

I was on right after Justin Timberlake, but got cut due to "time constrains"... that darn Justin and his golden curly locks... 

I guess not being a celeb will allow me the time to put up my Christmas ornaments...IF the Mister will get them down from the "Man shed".  I DID get the advent calendar out for Darling, too bad we couldn't get the doors to open and I noticed I didn't count DOWN, I counted up, but then again...I never was any good at math!  At least it's cute!!

I did get this tree up 

It wasn't too hard... just carry it upstairs and plop it by my kitchen sink-DONE!!

(this is the weirdest picture because NO wall in my entire house is that color...I think I did some wacky color correcting?!).

 I'm going to try and finish this little angel that's undergoing a "make-over".... My mom made this for us and Darling kept saying she was "creepy".  I think it was because she had Spanish Moss for hair, which if I may be so bold, looks like grey pubic hair... Sorry!  I worked in a nursing home in a previous life, I've seen things NO ONE should see....

 Poor little gal...she (at this point) still has chunks of moss and hot glue stuck on her head, looks like she has the mange!  Ewww, I googled images of that.... even I can't post those, icky!!!!

Ok, I better run...run as in: Get Busy.  It's icy out, even I'm not running today. Plus I need to change up my running time...yesterday I saw Meatloaf walking.  Meatloaf is a neighbor guy that looks like that lead singer...

BUT much scarier!! Think Meatloaf with an Amish beard!!

So anyway, I'm running and I pass him by and I suddenly have an image of him running across the road and choking me, throwing me in the cornfield and then heading into town and eating a cheeseburger.  Ok, a bit dramatic, but I'm not wanting to be on an episode of "The First 48 Hours".

Ok, talk about random rambling...

Smell ya later!

Yes, please!

I was reading some blog (Fabulessss...something like that, oh, wait here it is: live fabuless, right HERE!...) anyway they gave a link to UGG boots for 1/2 off!!!  Christmas is coming, send the Mister over to this site- sale ends today!! Go get yourself something nice too 'cause they have about 9 billion shoes/boots on clearance!  Clearance: I LOVE that guy!

Clearance-you know you want me!!

What I want:

Shoes that I will have to punch you in the face if you get me:

This post is really suppose to be about something I've been working on like a "Beaver" remember that faux pas from last week?  Anyway... I've been working like a dog 

(cause we know how hard those beasts work!)

GET TO THE POINT...

My super-fabulous bloggy pal (and somewhere down the line: 3rd cousin twice removed whose mama was a cousin to my left handed butcher...) Angela (Mrs Pickles on Pizza)

go see her blog: HERE!

Yeah...still not to the point... so, here it is:

Angela the awesome says to me "get your butt busy on some Advent Calendars" and because I drink her "Kool-aid" I did exactly that, cause I'm in her cult!

The labor alone on this baby is $7,946.82!  I spent a TON of time thinking and planning, which I don't usually do!  I like to jump in, make 500 mistakes and then get #501 to come out perfectly!

Now that I've got the process down, I'm going to make more, more, more.... and some that aren't just for Christmas too!

So without further ado... (cause you know I can drag something out for a month of Sundays- who am I, my Grandma?)

 2nd side, the 9-1 countdown:

Whewwww... it's finally done!

It will be in my "chinamommy" shop later today!
