I don't think I have a google account.
We had a nice day. The weather was cool, but the sun was shining. I think it was 51 at noon.
our new floors are just about done. The wood flooring looks really good. Tomorrow they install the carpet. Then it will be done for a while.

Five more days left of 06, I haven't accomplished much this past year. Just work, Work and more work. I am going to try and be a better person this year, try and make my job a little more interesting, listen better, call my grandkids more and visit with my sister and brothers more. My three older grandsons I don't see very much, they are busy with school and work, familes and stuff. Get my stuff ready for Nashville in June, I am so excited this year. Last year I almost didn't go, I got a sore foot, but I am so glad I went. Going with my oldest daughter, her boys are all grown up, two are still at home, but they can take care of themselves. My youngest, don't think she likes country music enough to want to go. Maybe in a couple of years I will take my granddaughter with me if we go back in o8 or 09. There is something to see everywhere, country music all day and most of the night, if you like clubs. I am not much on clubs, don't like the smoke and don't drink, they just smell to me. I am sure glad Arkansas has the clean air act. Its makes going out to dinne a lot nicer. Sorry for all the smokers out there but that is the way I feel. Lung cancer killed my mom, I watched her wither away from that stuff, she said, smoked since she was 14 years old. Back then it was the in thing to do. I am surprised that I never took up the habit, both parents were heavy smokers.
We got most of the furniture moved out yesterday, husband slept on the sofa in the living room, granddaughter slept in the bed we left. The new flooring will be started tomorrow, I am excited about getting it. Maybe this will help me get rid of some stuff. I use to give my mom a hard time about saving things, I am just as bad. She said, " guess it was because she grew up in the depression era, back then you didn't throw things away, they might be useful later so you saved it". I am not sure what my excuse is. Granddaughter was helping move things into boxes and found some of my old record albums and asked what are these. I forot I even had them, I am not going to get rid of them, I will keep them a little bit longer. I am going to dust the base boards and wipe the walls, If I had more time, I would paint, did get the living room painted, not finished but I will get to it. Husband said, You won't ever finish, because you never finish anything, just because I started wall papering the hall and stopped does't mean I never finish anything. I think I am going to take the paper down and paint it too. He can just kiss my rear.
Better go and dust those base boards I was talking about.

I have a cold, upper respitory stuff, nose, sore throat makes me cough. My head feels huge. Its Christmas, not supposed to be sick on Christmas, but I got all the presents wrapped and the food cooked. Granddaughter came and helped me out. She is only 10, but she likes to help me cook. Her favorite part is making the rolls, she likes to knead the bread and stuff. Husband called her cheff.

Another sleepless night. I was sleepy this afternoon at work, but not now. I have got to wrap the rest of the presents, I am not really in the mood for christmas this year. Two presents are wrapped and my granddaughter did those. I will get some done tomorrow evening and put them under the tree.
I mixed up some deer summer sausage, I have to bake it tomorrow night, this is the first attempt I hope it is good. You have to bake it for 8-10 hours at 150 degrees. Surely it will taste good. I wish I had a sausage stuffer on my mixer. I guess I will wrap this in plastic wrap.

Today is my first grandson's birthday. He is a dad twice now, I wish he was still that cute little boy that always called on Friday night to spend the night. My second grandson will be 21 the 14th of December. They are sure growing up. They get older and don't need grandma much anymore, I sure do miss that.
I got my tree up today and my youngest grandchildren came over to help me decorate it. I get tired of putting it up and taking it down. We are getting new flooring put in on the 27th, so I will have to take it down the day after Christmas. I am excited about the flooring, we haven't done any in about 15 years. It will be like moving, I have so much stuff I have to pack up.
I baked a cake today, called Banana Split Cake, it sure sounded good, has to be with all the good stuff, pineapple, bananas, cherries, coconut and pecans. Cream cheese frosting. Yum and here I am a diebetic but I am going to have some anyway.

Very cold this morning, went from 70 degrees last Thursday, to 27 this Thursday. We have been averaging 50 to 60 degress for November. I still had a few plants blooming. I bet they are gone now.
