B.J. I have that same china cabinet that you have in your chair post. It was my mom's. Bought sometime back in the 60s. I am into a million things too, have to come to the computer to have a break. LOL. Enjoy the preparations.

First of all thank you for your visits and kind comments to my blog. I have been busy putting up my Christmas decorations. Have the outside done and now am working on the inside of the house. Still have a few more things to do. Have a great time in doing all your tasks. Have a blessed evening. Madeline

I completely understand. I know how it is to have a lot on your plate and something just HAS to take a back seat. Looking forward to seeing everything when you're back.

Oh man, I wish I was doing the same thing. I'm catching up on blog reading in between decorating the house for Christmas, playing with the kids and working on what feels like 500 projects.
Enjoy your time away from the computer!!!

Debbie said...

Now BJ, I don't mind you taking some down time, but did you have to put that picture of me in my bikini in the post you're going to leave hanging until you get back?

Sheeeeesh!

Have fun being productive!

Blessings,

Beverly said...

Dear BJ, I've missed you.

I've been sick with a terrible cold and cough. This is the third week, and I am slowly getting better. Now my sweet husband has it.

I hope you will join us every Pink Saturday during the holidays as we celebrate together.

Very cute! Have fun, BJ!...,Christine

Sue said...

I took some time over the long weekend to do all those things. My husband was home 4 days and I got the tree up (picture on yesterday's blog) and the wrapping done on all the presents that are here so far. I just let the blogging go and kept on moving while I was in the mood! Enjoy decking your halls, can't wait to see the pictures!

Anita said...

Hope you get everything done that you want done with as little hassle as possible!
You're taking downtime, and I'm gearing up - my new business has started! Check it out if you get time... post at prariedreams.net :)

Hi BJness! Now how in the world did you get that snap of me running around in the back yard? :)
You rest, well, I'm sure you'll not be resting, but take care of yourself while you do what you do!
About Little Richard, I saw him on TV a while back and his tiny eyes were all eyelined and he could still play the piano and scream pretty good! ;)
Be a sweetie,
