As usual, I am stealing Jen’s Sunday Sentiments button and idea and making it mine tonight. I’ve “known” Jen for umm, 10 years (and yet we’ve never met), and she knows I do it, so it’s not exactly stealing. But then again, it’s not a link up either ;).

~OMG, My Spartans! I am STILL excited about that huge win over OSU last night. I literally watched the game with one eye open since I just could not look, but also could not look away. It was intense. But my Spartans prevailed and I am a happy alumni! The Yuppie Traveler (who I met at Michigan State) is thinking about heading out to the Rose Bowl and I suggested we road trip it like we did for the Final Four years and years ago when we were in school. Since we are old now (and not as fun as we used to be), we’d have to stop 9,000 times and get separate rooms at every hotel. We should probably leave now. LOL!!!

~B had a drill weekend (National Guard) this weekend and not only did he bring home enough gear to outfit a small army (they have gear and different outfits for every situation / weather imaginable), he also brought home a revised drill schedule. I like this one WAY better than the last one (which involved some sort of field training on L’s birthday) and I am so glad I didn’t write any of the old dates in my 2014 EC planner.  Oh and they had a Christmas party this morning complete with bounce houses that the kids loved.

~Should the stars align properly, I may be getting my PopSugar Must Have Holiday for Her box tomorrow.  I cannot believe we don’t have spoilers on that yet!  ETA: We have spoilers and they are here.   I am also expecting December PopSugar, PopSugar Holiday for Him, Fabletics, Cultured Owl, Mama’s Got Mail, Birchbox, FAIRtreasure and probably a few more I am forgetting!

~I just downloaded “Flipagram” last night which I know think is the coolest app ever.  I never understood how people took those flipbook videos on Instagram and now I know!  Perfect for subscription box detailed pictures and it’s free which is a big app requirement of mine.  I hate paying for apps.

~L and I decorated the tree yesterday and today.  OMG.  That tree?  It’s a monster.  I despise putting lights and on the tree but since B was gone and L wanted it to happen, it was all me.  And as I posted on Instagram, I totally messed it up and ended up with the wrong end of a plug to plug-in.  Figures.  I just stuck another strand of lights down the back to hook up the right end of the plug (which was at the top of the tree) into the socket.  So annoying.  But I have to admit, actually decorating the tree with L was fun.  He’s a big help and gets so excited about it.

~Can I just say how jealous I am of all the parts of country that are covered in snow right now? Ugh.  We have NOTHING. We live in Michigan and now snow.  B actually asked the other day how much I thought it would cost to rent a snow machine.  LOL!!! A lot, B, a lot.
