Merry California ZOOmas

This has been a crazy and fun trip.Our flights were easy and we made it. Despite the fact that American Airlines doesn't let families with little creatures preboard! WTF!!!!! Not looking forward to that aspect of the return flight...will let you know all the juicy details tomorrow!

Oak Drive Zoo

We are off!Taking the creatures to see Sharky's parents....it isnt pretty the Safari jeep is almost packed but the little ones are still asleep-go figure! Will post from there! Merry Christmas to all!

Thursdays at the Hairhouse

Any of you Grey Gulls Girls who read this are either laughing or crying at this point, not to worry I wasnt getting a perm only to get it straightened. Nonetheless, I was relaxing at Sharmaine's after a facial and massage (spoiled, I know)and waiting to get my haircut. Nice woman sitting next to me suddenly CHOKED. I asked if she was allright and when she could only gasp, I did heimlech-and it worked after a few tries! I urge you all to refresh yourselves on the procedure and jump in and help someone-while it was terrifying I was really calm-imagine that-and worth the feeling of knowing I helped someone!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

She's home! My right hand woman from brown eyed girls days gone by, is home! Stetson is doing her right, still skinny and happy...and lots of great stories to tell! And we just cleaned out my closet! We have to agree that we may have gone overboard on the sweaterdress/leggings combo....but birdlegs here can't help it. AND we have come to the conclusion that if we switch around a few items at Saks and Target, I just need two pairs of shoes and I am set. YAY! love it.

Hypocrisy

Don't get all nervous and think I am going to start calling out the Belleair Bees...I am talking about myself here. I actually get upset when people don't update there blogs..pardon me, right? Sorry I am guilty. Life is in good and full swing here. A touch of illness but all are fending for themselves at this point. I am sitting on the floor in my office deeply satisfied by my recent experience with ups.com. Look out my out of towners-this year your gift is on time!
Back to previous post-we held on tight at the Christmas tree lot and got a nice tree and a candy cane without incident. The tree is up and the stockings are hung..now to just point and click a few more times and all will have a good night.
***I reread my not updated blog and realized I never told you all about Baby Donahue! Thomas Dwyer Donahue made it into the world on Thanksgiving Friday...after the longest labor in history..he is here!!! Bear and Monkey cannot wait to teach him a few tricks!
Hint on a great and maybe inexpensive way to spend time with your friends this holiday season. Make a fabulous brunch, invite your besties over, and do a craft project! Lookout Martha Stewart! I would post photos of the project but then someone's gift will not be a surprise!
Kisses!

UH OH

They might HATE Santa....
The creatures came to Mommy's shop to see Santa, and they BAWLED! Now we are not allowed to read any Santa books and we just had a fit over a Santa T-shirt...wish me luck at the Christmas tree lot. God help us if someone wears a Santa hat. Bright side? we won't be waiting in line at the mall to see Santa!

Look everyone Dianne taught me how to push return-voila! New paragraph!
More later about the tree!

It's December!!!

Doesnt it feel so festive??? Haven't been outside yet but last I checked it was HOT and HUMID!I am trying not to dive into Cyber Monday but honestly what is better then online shopping? I mean besides Target??? The Bear is hacking up a lung so he will have to stay home from school, which is sad on so many levels. Maybe Fluffy Bunny will come get him! Presently working on a playdate for Shark since the kids may push him over the edge soon-off season is not always fun! In his first week off he went to putt putt golf, chuck e cheese, the clearwater marine aquarium, and the ice experience at Gaylord Palms. Remind me of all this come Spring Training when we havent seen him for three weeks! This week we are working on shopping so log on the comments section and share your ideas and deals! Monkey working on closing fingers in kitchen drawers-Happy Monday!
