Welcome home, Dawn! So glad you had such a wonderful time with your family!!
Okay, now it's snowing again and there's ice on the trees. It was 65 here yesterday with thunderstorms all night. Sheesh.
I'm feeling guilty b/c I'm going to exchange one of my gifts from my parents. They obviously spent a lot of time picking out a leather coat for me, but it's just not something I would wear (has to be buttoned and tied to look good and I'm just too darn lazy, lol). I hate having to tell them that b/c I know they were so excited, but I also know how much it was (saw it at
Nordies) and don't want them to have wasted their money, KWIM? They actually had a necklace made for me which is one of the best gifts I've ever received. So meaningful and something I'll wear for the rest of my life and always think of them. Everyone was very thoughtful in their gift choices this year so it was really fun to see the reactions as people opened their prezzies. My DH had the idea to have my mom's hooding ceremony program (from her masters graduation) framed and she cried when she opened it. You know you did good when the recipient cries!
I was stressing out about what to fix my in-laws and extended family tomorrow b/c I'm still feeling pretty lousy and not really up to cooking for a big group, and my sweet hubby secretly called and made reservations for everyone for brunch at our country club so I wouldn't have to worry about it. *hugs him*
