Grad school has basically been kicking my butt for the past few weeks. (I did get 100% in anatomy though.) Now, I am finally done for the quarter. So far things are going smoothly. I even think I did well in the class from hell, aka language development.
Now that classes are over I am free to make the house EXPLODE with Christmas. Between my mother and I we could decorate oh, lets say an entire neighborhood to be conservative. I really wanted to get a real tree this year but, A) Mark is never around and I'm not going by myself, and B) my parents had an extra fake tree that they didn't want cluttering up their garage.
My mom did buy me a little real tree as a consolation

I am starting to make my list of Christmas projects (thank you Pinterest)
I'm DIYing the heck out of Christmas this year. Here are a few of my hopes and dreams:
- Christmas stockings for Mark and me
- Tree skirt. There are two I can't decide between...
- Holiday card boards
- Bacon Ornament for Mark (see it here!)
- Coasters for family and friends
- Ornaments for my Mom
- Pillow covers for my Nana
- A wreath (also cannot decide, probably this one)
- fudge (all types: peppermint, marshmallow, maybe some peanut butter)
- Mexican wedding cookies (aka Russian Tea cookies, pecan sandies)
- Peanut butter kiss cookies
- good ol' chocolate chip
- peppermint bark
- oreo balls (aka Reindeer poop)
I have a few other revelations, but I'll save those for another post.
Happy Holidays!
