Yes! Woot Woot! I have finished 99.9% of my Christmas shopping AND I stayed on budget. I think this is the first year ever that the budget was adhered to....can I get a big Amen?
I'm not working for the next two weeks at my main job, but have signed up to work at the hospital for three days.....the best part about it is I get off at a designated time.....no exceptions. (Yay!)
However, this means that I still need to plan what we're going to eat because any free time will be taken up by wrapping presents, and making goodies.
I am going to have an organized, stress free, non last minute Christmas.
I really need it this year :o)
Thanks for stopping by and from my house to yours...
Merry Christmas

The week leading up to Christmas is always an exciting, fun time so my meals for this week are pretty basic without a lot of extra thinking required. I'm trying a couple of new recipes from the Taste of Home website although each one is simple without any special ingredients or cooking method needed. Hope your week is blessed and.........
as always.......
happy Monday :o)
