When I said yesterday that things would get interesting, I didn't have in mind that my dog would be wretchedly sick tonight, from both ends, all over the house. :)))))))))) Oh boy, well, I know people have so many worse problems than that, so I won't say a lot, just hope and pray Jazzi is okay through the night. Honestly, you'd think she ate the whole back yard and then some. We've been through this before, but not lately. I've had the middle of the night ER visits with her, truly hoping we avoid that, it costs as much as your whole Christmas.

So, I had a little tidbit to toss your way, but all I can think of now is a tuna sandwich. I've been drooling for one for hours, although now, in light of recent events, it doesn't sound quite as appetizing. I absolutely have no idea what I was going to tell you, which is probably to your advantage. Well, one little thing, I hate and despise my Christmas wrapping paper. It's the kind that cracks when you fold it around the corners of boxes, and tears easily. So it has a dark green background with dark pink ornaments on it. Why on earth did I get it? It's from the drugstore, but it's positively hideous and I don't know how I could have picked it out. So all the corners look whitish instead of dark green. Really crummy. Of course, I went ahead and used it 'cause it's all I have. Not to mention no one in my family is going to pick up a wrapped box and say, Hmm, what's with the cheesy paper? Of course, it's so ugly DTD might have to comment about who and why it was picked out. But white corners, never in a million years. Well, I won't make that mistake again, even if this paper WAS made in the USA. That's it, quality wrapping paper from now on. Where do you buy quality wrapping paper? I've had cheap stuff the last few years, but at least it had a cute print on it. This paper has NOTHING going for it. Oh man, now I want to rewrap, but baby, that ain't a gonna happen.

Oh yeah, one more thing. I got a gift to mail to a friend and I was so excited about it that I wrapped it in bubble wrap and put it in the same box my friend mailed me a gift, all packed just so. Then I wrapped the box in brown paper and addressed it. It's sitting on the counter (where else?). So, a couple of days have gone by and it just hit me, I never wrapped the gift, you know what I mean? I should have put this darling breakable thing in a small gift box and wrapped it in lovely Christmas paper and THEN put it in the mailing box and THEN wrapped in brown paper. Gads, I had to write on the brown paper, Umm, I think I forgot to wrap your present. Of course, what if I had used the nasty paper? In that case I'm better off having forgotten to wrap. Well, it's too late now, I ain't about to tear that package apart and start over.

I am too tired to proof read this thing. Let's all just go to bed and hope for great things tomorrow.

Oh, you know what, my Christmas tree is decorated crummy, to go along with the crummy wrapped presents and my crummy decorating in general. Really, if I ever get a little dream cottage, I'm hiring a professional, that's all there is to it. I know just who, a man at Mike's church. Tonight at Singing class he gave us white bark his wife had made. I have ZERO talent for decorating. And you know what, I'm good with that. It doesn't bother me at all. On the contrary, it gives me blogging material.

I love Jesus.
