Remember when I said that I don't do fake trees, well I am having to reconsider my stance after searching today for a 8 to 10ft tree that does not cost $70. Yikes, I have been in the closet so long that I didn't know that the Christmas tree business had turned to the dark side, coaxing you in with signs of $29.95 only to secure you on their lot and then get you sucked in. I don't think that I will be able to resist them though because once I got that live tree smell on my hands I kept inhaling and my rational thoughts would become cloudy and confused.
I made chilli the old fashioned way that is with beans soaked overnight. Usually I do the canned method because it is easy. There is a big difference though and it is worth the tiny bit of effort to think the night before and get the beans soaking.
Baby Nate has not called me once while away. I had to call him to confirm the number of guests we will have at the party this weekend. He knows how much I love to hear about the food he gets to be eating at these events, I don't understand why he has failed to comply with my rule. (describe in detail what you ate and the people at your table ate) Is that so hard?

The prices are CRAZZZZY! We aren't able to get one at all this year unless my DH has some money that I know not of stashed away somewhere. :)
We will probably cut down a pretty cedar tree in our yard that's in an obscure place anyway. At least it will smell divine, even if it's not a fir. :)
We get ours at a place up by Tia's house and they're all $20. I didn't exactly measure the big ones, but there was at least one that was huge. The sign says cut your own, but last year I didn't have Paul with me and the guy cut it for me and loaded it onto my truck.
How do you know where i live? Stalker! :)
Duh...You had a yard sale and emailed out the directions. Besides, I used to live in Hab Co and am familiar with the area.
A likely story!
And speaking of yard sales, me and jenny are having one tomorrow at my house, if you'd like to stop by...:) She's got tons of baby clothes... and im selling some furniture, books, printers, old computer, video games, etc.
Good. I need more video games.
I'm sorry...maybe my yard sale woul be more appealing to you if I was selling semi-automatic weapons! :)~
Or head coverings
Oh snap! Whatta trouble maker you are!! That's why i love ya!
Hi Catrina,
I am the one who emailed you about my sister and her hubby going to Toccoa. Anyway, I have a really shallow question to ask.
I just saw a picture on Tonya's blog from your Thanksgiving which I think was at your house. What kind is it and what color? I am in the process of doing our kitchen and I am getting off-white cabinets. I am looking at Cambria quartz countertops and one of them looks a lot like yours.
Thanks a lot!
Kris
Kris,
So sorry but I don't know, the house came as is. My cabinets are completely white, my walls are a mocha latte color, the trim is white and my countertops are granite. They are latte and black large flecked. I have to say that I love the white cabinets with the dark countertops because it brightens up the room alot, otherwise I'm afraid it would be dingy and drab in there, but this combo kinda pops.
