on some notables...

I've been MIA for a little while due to me dropping my mac and having to take it in to get repaired. All my fault and I was dying for a week and a half without it. It's funny how left out it makes me feel. Anyways, I'm sitting here being sick on the couch as I write to you all. I came down with one of those horrible sore throats and of course I was rockin' a fever last night. Just feeling lousy and even though it's my day off and I'm super bummed to have to spend it on the couch but I've been spending this time doing things I can't usually do or just haven't done for a while. Blog, read, sleep, watch Sons of Anarchy and rest my bones. Rest Ha! I'm soaking it all up folks because the rest of this month I'll be working 6 days a week and when I'm not working I'll be trying my best to keep my family alive and feed and then in between that I still have some more Christmas shopping, wrapping and baking to do.
Although it's busy, stressful and hectic I still feel on top of it all and that feel good man!  Here's a hodgepodge of notables...

• I won a fun little giveaway on Twitter last week. Susannah has a cute blog full of outfits and crafty things. So you can see how excited I was to have won a small ad space on her blog. Go check it out! And if you're one of the lovely people that have clicked over, well, thanks for stopping by! 
• I've been having a little too much fun with Jack, our elf. I guess it's getting to see Sebastian's face light up when he spots Jack in his new location every morning. Wanna follow Jacks adventures? Go follow me on Instagram @calicotales
• After having a mishap with our Christmas lights, that mishap being they wouldn't cut on, I went out and bought some brand new boxes of fresh lights. Mini multi color lights. Nothing like some new lights! 
• By the way, if you need a quick stocking stuffer that's perfect for pretty much anyone that loves Christmas go here and by the newest and best Christmas story out by JingleBelle Jackson. I think everyone should have it on their shelves! Link also on the side of le blog. Oh oh oh. 
• Sebastian's Christmas play at his preschool is next Friday and he has his very own verse to say in front of everyone. We've been practicing every night. Can't wait!!
