Happy New Year

Christmas was AWESOME!  I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas.  I'll catch up later and post some pictures. 

I wish everyone a very Happy New Year!

What will be in YOUR Christmas stocking?

Your Christmas Stocking Will Be Filled With Little Wrapped Presents

You've made Santa a very happy fellow this year. Don't worry - what happens at the North Pole stays at the North Pole!

What Will Be In Your Christmas Stocking?

In case you were wondering

what to expect at Home Depot at 8:30am on Saturday morning, I'll fill you in.

First of all, there are NO cashiers so your only option is to do the much hated and dreaded self-checkout that I always have some type of problem requiring a cashier to come (WHEN they are not too busy and see me) turn the light off and do some voodoo magic to the machine to let me continue.  Keep in mind this only happens when you have a buggie full of items and you are down to scanning one of the last few.

So, I have ONE item.  ONE ITEM!  It can't be too bad, right? Ha!!! I got ya there.

It's a medium sized scatter rug.  I scan it and lay it where I'm supposed to so that it can be sufficiently weighed to make sure I am not trying to run out the store with an extra ounce of rug or something.  Guess what?  Yep.  It told me that the weight did not match the item scanned and i needed to wait for assistance to continue.

There is one young girl in front that is looking at me blankly.  I say, "Looks like I need some assistance to continue..."  She gives me a passive look and continues to stand there.  I repeat myself and she then starts pushing buttons on her own little machine in front of her.

I am standing there waiting and getting just a little irritated that there are all these employees all over the store and yet not one of them can just let me pay for my item and let me leave. I am having to unsuccessully attempt this on my own. 

I can see the 'assistance cashier' is really not of much assistance so being the resourceful kind of girl that I am, I hoist the rug off the scale and go to the next register which by some miracle works.  I pay and as I turn to leave, the 'non-assistance cashier' tells me she was on the wrong screen at the time and could not assist me.  Ummm, forgive me but she is standing there doing NOTHING else but to provide the customers (only ME at the time) assistance.  Do you think maybe it may have been a good idea to get on the proper screen to do the job?

Nahhh, too easy I guess.

So, in the mean time I leave with one of the self-checkout registers blinking desperately for assistance so it will be out of commission until I am assuming someone can find a proper screen for the next customer.

So, now you know...

You know...

you don't wear skirts often when you go to the restroom and realize you have dropped your skirt to your ankles before you potty.

I wonder if men in kilts ever have this problem?

Jingle bells and Merry Christmas

Since I have been so lackadaisical in my Christmas merriment this year, I don't want anyone to think I am some kind of Grinch. 

So,...here ya go from the Dixon family to yours.

(In fact, last weekend we went to the Margarita Ball and Danny danced JUST like that!  I am NOT kidding.)

DECKING the halls takes on new meaning

Well, on top of starting a new job, getting settled in the new house, painting all of the downstairs, faux painting a bathroom, getting new fixtures, installing hardwood floors we FINALLY got our tree up.

We opted to do the hardwoods ourselves being the so very 'handy' people that we are.  There was some dated hardwood already in the entry way and with the EXTREME help of Danny's brothers we thought we could pull the glued down hardwood up in a couple of hours and get going with the rest of the downstairs.  Umm, try over EIGHT hours later we put down our first board!!!  That stuff did NOT want to come up.  We ended up getting an electric chisel jackhammer contraption to help.  I didn't have a go at it, but it looked PAINFUL.

Please lie and tell me I am not the only one so tardy in getting Christmas out?

It's kind of hard to "deck the halls" when your deck isn't even there. :(
