This Busy Life

I honestly hadn't planned on being away from the blog for two months but things picked up and now I have no idea where the time went! Thanksgiving was ridiculous, had to work the night of into Friday morning for Black Friday. I really hate whoever came up with the idea of having big sales the day after you say what you are grateful for. Since then people have been rude, inconsiderate, and just down right nasty. I can't wait till Christmas is over.

Speaking of, we have an interesting tree this year. I wanted something different, so I ordered orange lights online.
Yes, orange.

My husband wants to order other colors next year since they have almost every colored light imaginable on white wire. I am totally all for that!

I also got new stockings this year since the family has expanded. I had a lot of fun putting the names on them.

Since my Dad and Jake moved in that made five but...who is this Sweetie?!
Why this beautiful girl here:

Sweetie Belle, is a Bull mastiff and is only eleven months old. Already she is almost full grown and too tall for her own good :D
A friend had gotten her and couldn't handle taking care of her so we gladly took her in. She is the biggest baby, loves attention and will sit or lay on me every chance she gets. We tried to keep her off the bed and failed miserably so now she keeps me warm at night as she has to start out laying right up against me. They say money can't buy happiness, they are full of shit. I paid the person back what they paid to get her and all of us are very happy that she joined our pack and she is happy to be here.
So now I have three dogs in the house and I couldn't be happier with the two most important men in my life to boot. Hopefully after Christmas things will calm down work wise and I can do other things besides...work.
