Wifey Wednesday - All About Christmas

Yesterday was Wifey Wednesday. I forgot about it because of Thanksgiving but decided I would post about the topic now. Wifey Wednesday is where Sheila talks marriage! She introduces a subject, and then you all comment, either by creating your own blog post and linking up, or by leaving a comment here.

So here's my quandary: What do you do about Christmas with your hubby or significant other? What do I want for Christmas? What about you? What do you do with your spouse for Christmas? Any advice I should know? Just leave a comment, or go write your own blog post and then come back here and link up in the comments section!

Here's what we do...We used to buy alot of gifts for each other, do stocking stuffers and the whole thing. Well, as the years pass you don't need alot of stuff. So, now what we decided to do is to pick out stuff for each other and try to keep it at $100.00 each. We normally tell each other what we'd like to have, then decide on what we are actually getting. Most times it's what we want. I really don't need alot anymore because I don't really go out clothes shopping much but I do like to read books or do my scrapbooking. So, anything relating to that usually comes up on my list. My husband normally has to tell me what he'd like because he doesn't mention much of anything all through the year.

We also take our grandson out shopping for each other and we tell each other what to try to steer him toward. Last year I told my husband to get him to get me a pair of sterling hoop earrings. Figured you couldn't go wrong with that. My husband had me steer him toward a pair of pajama pants. Otherwise you never know what you might get. My husband ended up with Sponge Bob pajama pants but it's better than what he might have gotten. My son, my grandson's dad ended up with a pull on snowman hat with a carrot nose sticking out of it. He looked liked he could have been a unicorn. See what I mean when I say it could have been worse? LOL. It's all fun.

Happy Thanksgiving! And, Ade & Melissa Cancer Dance

I just want to say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and thought I'd post the Cancer dance that Ade & Melissa did on the show So, You Think You Can Dance. I thought we could count our blessings today and remember those people who are less fortunate in our prayers and maybe even reach out to someone. If you haven't seen this piece, it's a must see. There isn't a dry eye in the whole audience. This dance is beautiful. I posted this on both this blog and my photo-a-day blog because I think everyone should see this.

What are you reading now?

I am just starting Under the Dome by Stephen King. It will probably take me about a month to complete it since it's 1,074 pages. I don't have extra time to just sit and read, so I will be trying to squeeze reading in where I can. I usually read in the evening or when I'm sitting at a doctor appt.

What about you? What are you reading? If you are reading Under the Dome, How are you liking it so far? Do you think it will be made into a movie? King's movies usually are. Give me your thoughts on this book and let me know how far into the book you are.

(Please don't put spoilers in the comments section incase others are reading it.)

I Found a New Meme called Wifey Wednesday

Okay, I found this interesting meme today called Wifey Wednesday.

I need another meme like a need another hole in my head. LOL. But, anyway, here I am deciding to contribute my two cents worth.

Today is Wifey Wednesday, well, maybe it was yesterday, but I found it today. Anyway, here's the topic...

So today, whether your marriage is a good one or not, ask yourself: What do we do well together? Quote from her website: "Ski? Camp? Play games? Plan? Hike? Drive? And whatever it is, make a point of doing it together at least once a week. You just may find that your attitude, and his, takes a dramatic turn!"

My husband and I are like a tag team when it comes to our grandson. He's 7 yrs old and loves to play and is always on the go. My husband plays boy things like wrestling, baseball, trucks, or whatever it is. When he gets tired, I take over with more of the crafty type stuff, or reading, etc. We also love to play board games with him. His favorites right now are Scobby Doo's Haunted House and Labyrinth. There's a kids version that is really easy.

If you want to join in on this meme, go to Shelia's blog. Don't you just love the name of her blog? It's called, to love honor and vacuum
