Life as I know it.

Merry Christmas or at least merry Christmas eve. Bug is sleeping in this morning so I figured I would catch up on my blogging. Everything is basically ready around here.

Bug went to a class where he made gifts for family and friends today. He has been sequestered in the office wrapping up his treasures since we got home over an hour ago. The 1st 2 have come out (for me of course, Bug is such the momma's boy). They are wrapped in baby shower tissue paper with 2 kinds of tape (about a roll a piece) and looked like
