Odds and ends...

Today is my day off, and instead of getting up off my tushie and getting things done, I'm reading blogs, leaving comments, and writing this post. My parents are supposed to be here around 3:00 today and I still have to wash my sheets, make up my bed, fold three loads of laundry, shower and get dressed, drop stuff off at the drycleaners, make a Target run, and possibly get a pedicure. Hmmm.... I'm thinking all that is not going to happen. And still, here I sit....

I got a few questions asking how I schedule ahead my posts. When you are writing a post, at the very bottom you will see "Post Options". Click on that, and you will see the current date and time. You can change that time to a date in the future, and it will post on that date. I usually write posts a few days in advance in case I get busy or have other things to do. I schedule all my posts for 1:00 AM my time so that people have something to read in the morning. If you are in a different time zone, my Friday post might have come to your reader on Thursday night.

In other bloggy news, did you know you can set it up so that when you leave a comment (and you have your comments sent to your email) you can respond directly to that person's email? If you don't have this enabled, it will comment as "no-reply-blogger" or something similar, but if you do, the email address is the person who left you the comment. That way you can respond to them directly. It is super cool, but I can't remember exactly how to do it, so hopefully someone else will chime in with directions.

I did want to share with you some pictures from The Nutcracker this past weekend. It was.... boring. I can't believe I'm saying that, but I was distracted by an asthma attack, a group of young girls playing the seats behind me, and my husband incessantly complaining about how hungry he was and "when can we eat?!" And the shoes? Girls, please. I always plan ahead and had stuck some silver flats in my purse, and I'm glad I did. Those shoes were killers. I'm just not cut out to wear 4 inch heels.



Here's some pics of George and JC... love the beard! Hahaha!

Thanks for the bloggy tips. Nice pics, too! If JC came down my chimney as Santa this year, i'd have to keep him, beard and all! Hehe...

I'm totally jealous that you have a day off...well, off work that is...sounds like you have plenty to keep you busy around the house☺

Sorry the Nutcrakcer was boring. The production that I always go watch is very good. I love the Nutcracker.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

My mom made me take ballet for 9 years and we did the nutcracker every Christmas. Yes I was something different every year but if I never see another Nutcracker show I'll be ok with that.

momma said...

jc is soooooo cute! how did you get him to keep the beard on? you have about 2 hours until the arrival of your parents - are you ready???

i totally wasted yesterday and am on my way to a repeat for today - i love school breaks!!

K said...

I am also wasting time I don't have today blogging.

Oh well - clean houses are over rated, but sanity is important.

Have a great visit with your folks.

Oh my goodness...I had so much fun catching up on your Site. I had to laugh about your Nutcracker story. I only took my husband once, then made "note to self"...The Nutcracker is for girls only. That's how it's been ever since. :-D
I LOVED your awesome door, the adorable peppermint wreath, your mod-podged glittered ornaments, and BEAUTIFUL gold topiaries. I see you're really learning how to tame that glue gun. Hee-hee.
You asked how long it took us to decorate our Who-ville tree. Here's how we did it: While I was putting on the lights, Sara sat on the floor wiring three small bulbs together at a time. I LOVE that effect! After that it went fast. Every single bulb is wired on...no hooks. It took me a long time to realize that's how the Department Stores do it. So glad you liked it. Enjoy your parent's visit. : )

Stephanie said...

Good thinking on the shoes. I'm just now starting to do that. :) Your little kiddies are adorable in their Santa hats! Today Jim and I were driving on the freeway and I looked over at the car next to me and this lady was carrying a baby chihuahua and he/she was sleeping away! It was so adorable!

My Chihuahua Bites
My Photo
Hi, I'm Andrea, and welcome to my blog! I am a 31 year old sassy southern momma to a beautiful baby boy. I'm also a social worker, and my husband is a submariner in the US Navy. I have two very loved and spoiled chihuahuas, who are featured frequently in this blog. In case you are wondering - no, they don't bite! I got the inspiration for the name of my blog from an OPI nail polish called My Chihuahua Bites. Please check back often and be sure to leave a comment so that I can visit your blog as well. Thanks for visiting!
