Thanks.

This is the bike she wants. I've been trying to find an ornament that looks like the bike.

What's the brand?

Huffy. It's a cruiser.

And the only place that has the butter yellow is Walmart.

I did a Victorian style tree this year, I love it!

I would love to come decorate! I've always wanted to do that for a hotel or something, be in charge of their holiday decorations. Imagine doing holiday stuff on a huge budget! A dream!

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

That's beautiful.

Tangerine · Guru

Beautiful tree, empy!

Bunny is super excited about Christmas this year. He's counting down the days on his calendar and singing Christmas songs. We taught him the batman smells version of jingle bells and that is his new favorite, but he has also been making up his own songs about Christmas.
It's adorable.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I think we may do the tree this weekend since we're going to have SS after all.

Ugh, I used to do retail windows. A theme is always needed. Never easy!

Empy, your house is beautiful! I love the color of those walls - the blue. What is it?

Empy, your home is stunning!

Thanks for sharing!

OMG my stepdaughter bought this same bike over the summer. She got it at Walmart. lol.

FNW · Guru

It's a beautiful bike. I used to love to ride bikes when I was a kid. That is, until they started putting hand breaks on them and make you hunch over like you're racing in the Kentucky Derby, with all kinds of gears to shift. I never felt comfortable on those kinds. But this one, I could get into. Not sure I could ride it up a hill though.

Does she ride it often? Is it comfortable to ride?

Caitlyn has been wanting a new bike for a couple years now.

So when she saw this one and I saw her so excited about it, well. I think it's time to get her one.

She has a mountain bike. It's actually a man's bike. She says it's better for trails. Has climbing speeds and hand brakes. But it's been repaired so many times. It's a Frankenstein bike.

She does ride it often. I've never asked her if it's comfortable or not, but she's never complained. She bought it with her graduation money. I think she bought it because she loved the way it looks. It's definitely different. When she brought it home.. I was like... wow. lol. aww

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

LOL.

The bike blew up this thread on my computer.

Sorry Czech.

I love Sherwin Williams paint! Your décor and home look very beautiful Empy! I just painted my living room 2 different blues. The back wall is Favorite Denim and the other 3 1/2 walls are Windy blue. I love it! Sherwin Williams paint also. My brother is an engineer there. I get 40% off all my purchases. aww

I know the colors you speak of! I have the paint chips of them. Those were on my radar. Very pretty.

They have the best colors there. I chose moody blue for the spare bed and storm cloud in the game room.

You are a lucky duck to have that connection! We just re-modeled our entire home last year, that would have saved us a boatload!

My nose is so read from blowing it I think I will stick some lights on me and squat in the yard and have the neighbors think I am Rudolph.

I just have to share. Just wrapped my first present... and you have to see my Kiddie wrap! I've been criticized at work for ordering wrapping paper... but oh my gosh... this is worth it! lol!

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

I need that paper for my mom. She's gone cat crazy. When we went shopping, she kept picking up cat towels and cat mugs and cat pictures. That is so unlike her.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Here's our tree. We finally got it up.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I like it.

I had to zoom way in to figure out what was attacking your tree. LOL... That's your elf and I can't remember the rabbits name.

Beautiful tree.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Yes, that's our elf. He got busted putting on new Christmas ornaments he brought for SS. Last night he came with elf ornaments that have blinking noses. The blue thing is a dog. Charlie. SS got him at birth and he still hangs around. He's a floppy eared dog. He usually does what Fred the elf does. Somewhere in there is Alex the reindeer hanging ornaments. You can't see him very well.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

It's cute.

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

Looks good, NJN.

I still haven't brought down the Christmas tree or the decorations.

Still not feeling it.

Did get a lot of gifts bought yesterday. Mom, DGD and I had a blast together shopping all day.

Gifts are still in the back of the van..

Ho hum..

Riding · Guru

Move over Czech, I have tree up, and things brought into breezeway to decorate in there...I keep looking at the stuff and thinking *tomorrow* I will do it....and thus far tomorrow has not arrived~
I have the majority of my gifts bought, yay me, but none at all wrapped, they are all on bed in guest room, I did move them around yesterday to *organize* and then went right back out and shut the door....

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I.

AM.

DONE.

Shopping is done.

Now to wait for the last few things to arrive and wrap them.

Will pick up some chocolate coins and pop rocks for stocking and Christmas is on.

Aldi has the best chocolate coins. Real chocolate from Germany. You get a ton of them for $1.99.

The house is still bereft of decorations. I haven't even brought anything down from the third floor yet.

The grand's are starting to ask if I'm not feeling well. cry

Hopefully, this weekend we can do our annual Christmas cookie baking together. The kids love decorating Christmas cookies and it's a tradition here. Better then nothing, IMHO.

We have an Aldi but I've never been inside it. Mainly cause its on the other side of town.

Take your own bags and a quarter for the shopping cart (you get it back when you put the cart back). It's like a mini warehouse grocery store. Things are shelved out of the boxes, "special buys" change week to week. But they have the best chocolate from France, Germany, and a few other countries. They will usually have the regular chocolate section and then in a different row they will have the seasonal stuff.

Do they have the motorized carts?

I don't think so. It's not a very big store. I've seen Walgreens that are bigger.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I need to go to Aldi. I need to get Christmas candy. I have gotten nothing done lately because I have felt so bad. Hopefully soon.

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

Our Aldi is in a not so nice area of town. I've never been there & doubt I ever will.
