Tis the Season!!


Yes, yes, the holidays are here, but more importantly...its the time of the year for EGG NOG!! And of course I have already bought my second half gallon of it because I cannot get enough. My theory is that you have to stock up in these next 6 weeks, regardless of the fat content, because then it is gone until next November. That is really sad. I love to have a glass in the middle of the day, and then a little nightcap before bed. I might start a petition to get egg nog in the stores year round. Although, then I might not be able to button my pants...maybe this is for the best.

The other great thing about this season (again, a special item to eat) is Little Debbie's Christmas Tree Cakes. Amazing!! I hate that these arent around all year too. Put them in the fridge and enjoy them cold...what a treat!! Its amazing I really can still button my pants.

Other than that, just getting my house ready for the visit from my parents on Thursday. They are going to do Thanksgiving with my brothers on Wednesday night and then drive here Thanksgiving morning. I have a LOT of cleaning to do before my mom walks in the door. I am a little nervous about that. I just made a great cleaning playlist and I am about to get really serious about it. Or at least that is my plan. We will see how late I am up on Wednesday doing last minute cleaning things.

I am really excited about my parents coming down though. I have been in Austin for a year and a half now and they have yet to visit and I haven't seen them since June so I think we are going to have so much fun. My dad and I are going to put up the Christmas lights on Friday...or possibly Saturday depending on the weather. I don't know how much help I will be with that, but that is why Luke is coming back from Beaumont early...hahahaha. Maybe my mom and I can just watch and bring out snacks or something. That would be great!!

Better start cleaning!!!
