It has arrived.

Very Cold

Well, the Great White Death is heading our way This picture was taken at 6:12 p.m. "It" hasnt arrived yet but when it does...look out!! As you can tell, we have stocked up on all the essentials such as pizza, IBC Root Beer, Blueberry Cobbler creamer and toilet paper. We could be stuck inside for days....weeks....maybe even months.

There are media outlets at every turn ready to record the first drop of snow And when that happens, you can catch it right here so stay tuned

I have no life which is why my blog is lacking anything new lately We are supposed to get a tiny (probably none) bit of snow tonight or tomorrow Im sooo ready for summer
The last two weekends my lil sis Ally came down to visit We didnt do a whole lot, just mainly eating and playing volleyball (lots of volleyball) I got a couple of pics of us after church and on a Saturday night just hanging out Tonight Im going to watch my brother play soccer

Right now Im sitting at work...doing pretty much nothing! We have been so busy this week so I came in this morning around 7 to try and get caught up About 8:05 everything went black The power stayed off for about 1 1/2 hours So we all did some busy work When the power finally came back on, our systems were a mess so we still cant do anything Im giving it 10 minutes and Im outta here

So thats my update...:)

Updating (better late than never!)

This year, for Collingsworth Christmas, we all gathered at my aunt and uncles house and spent the night Friday night we ordered pizza (a Collingsworth Christmas tradition) and stayed up very late (some till 6 a.m.) We "woke up" to a wonderful breakfast of french toast, with all kinds of different syrups including peanutbutter syrup (compliments of Gloria Gaither herself!), sausage and bacon It was a lot of fun and I think everyone is voting to do the same again next year It was a blast!

Taking it easy

This weekend we got some snow here in Kentucky Saturday morning I woke up at 8:00 and it hadnt started but by 10:00 the ground was covered I had an itch to get out anyways so decided to head to the nearest mall about 5 minutes away By the time I got there, it was spitting ice so I decided to just run in to one store and get some wrapping paper so I could wrap the presents that I already had

Then around 12:30 I headed back out to do some Christmas shopping and was very successful Im almost completely done I came home made some cookies and cleaned the house

In the evening, Kyle, Amy, Jamie and I spent a couple of hours just hanging out I gave them all their gifts because I wasnt sure if I would have another chance before Christmas Jamie and Kyle decided to model their new shirts for Amy and I
Here are some more pics of my tree for you, Mom I tried to get some closer shots (Mom let me borrow hers this year since Im not allowed to have a real one)

Soooo...maybe its a little early

Mary and I put up our tree on Monday night We were just going to put it up and then finish decorating it the next day but once we started we didnt want to stop We even had to make a trip to Walmart at midnight for some more decorations When we had it all finished we were so much in the Christmas spirit we decided to exchange our gifts right then at 1:00 in the morning, in November no less!

Resting and relaxing with family

Thanksgiving was at mom and dads house this year Uncle Phil and family couldnt make it this year so we were short a few but still had lots of fun

Dudley getting his bath before company comes

Dad actually puts his towel in the dryer while giving him a bath "so it will be warm for him after his bath"

I was in charge of the mashed potatoes

Playing a game of Mad Gab

"The turkey I shot for dinner was THIS big!" says Aunt Connie

Ally and I left for Best Buy Thursday night at 11:00 to get a laptop They opened at 5 a.m. but were giving out tickets at 3 a.m. (which you had to have to get the laptop I wanted) At 3:45 they were out of tickets and we didnt get one When we pulled into the parking lot at 11:45 there were probably 100 people in line They had tents and fires going with the coffee brewing It was crazy! We felt like amateurs with our little double chair and sleeping bag It snowed the whole time It was the first (and probably last) time I had done anything like this It was worth a shot at getting a good deal We definitely made some memories :)

Quite the catch!

You guessed it..another mouse! This time it didnt take long I saw it on Sunday and got it on Monday

I didnt do a whole lot this weekend Friday night we had a game night at Amy's house

Saturday I made a pumpkin pie and some Southwest Chicken Chowder The chowder was a little spicy for me but still tasted pretty good

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas :)
