When you think you’re family…

LOVES YOU BUUUUUUUUT…
.
So for Thanksgiving dinner I made the gravy and I was getting into the car to drive over to my brother's house, whuch is literally a five minute drive from me, buuuuuuuuuuut, as I was getting in the car to drive away, I got distracted, THERE WAS PINK, FLUFFY CLOUDS in the sunset, and weeeeeeeeeeeelllll there was just NOOOOOOO WAY I could just drive away without enjoying THE PINK FLUFFY CLOUDS!!! Weeeeeeeelllll after a few minutes my brother calls me and is like, is everything ok? I'm like, yes I'll be there in a few minutes!!! 
.
Weeeeeeeeeeellllll I was going to leave, buuuuuuuuuuuut, I ended up taking just a FEW MORE pictures of the THE PINK FLUFFY CLOUDS!!! My phone starts ringing again and now it's my sister, she's like, WHERE ARE YOU??? I'm like, i'm coming, I'm coming!!! BUT in my head I'm thinking, WOW, my family loves me SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH, they're all calling me because they don't want to start eating dinner WITHOUT ME!!!
.
 I'm like, sorry there was just some PINK FLUFFY CLOUDS and I got distracted!!! And right as I'm thinking about how they just love me soooooo much they can't even start dinner without me, my sister says, Ok, I don't care WHEN YOU get here, buuuuuuuuut YOU have THE GRAVY and we can't start dinner without it!!!! 
.
I was liiiiiiiike WOOOOWWWW...
When you think your family loves you
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT
THEY REALLY JUST 
LOVE YOUR GRAVY!!!
Oh weellllllllllllllllllllll it's a SMALL sacrifice to make for being, 
THE BEST COOK IN THE FAMILY!!!

Christmas Reads/listens!!!

Heeeeeeeeeeyyyy everyone!!! Soooooooo if you don't know this, I'm pretty much ADDICTED to audilble!!! I loooooooove books buuuuuut I don't just like to sit down and read and do nothing else buuuuuuuuuut I looooooooove listening to stories as I walk, hike, do the eliptical, cook, clean, drive etc... and NOOOOOOOOOO i don't think LISTENING is the same as READING buuuuuuuuut I do think its still a STORY and I looooooooove STORIES!!! Stories make me happy and relax me and entertain me...Stories are MY MUSIC!!!! You know how some of you need music for EVERYTHING??? Weeeeelllll I NEED STORIES FOR EVERYTHING!!! (Could possible be WHY I'm a writer!!!;)
.
Sooooooooo when it's Christmas time, I loooooooooove to pull out the Christmas stories and I thought I'd share a few of my favorites!!! 
.
This first one is such a GOOOOOOD fun little mystery, well it's cheaper to buy the whole series on Audible for one credit buuuuut it's the first story that I like the most in the series, 12 Days At Bleakley Manor-it's just kinda a fun and mysterious little story- a little Agatha Christie without an actual murder!!! LOL you can buy the story alone or the whole series together and they are all good but the first one is the funnnnnnest!!!
12 Days At Bleakley Manor
 

Catching Christmas is one of THE FUNNNNNEST AND CUUUUUTEST stories everrrrr!!! I admit to CRYING buuuuuut that's only because I was thinking of my mom and how our last Christmas with her, even AT THE HOSPITAL was probably one of the best Christmas' i've everrrr had!!! *Warning the romance is a LITTLE CHEESY AND UNREALISTIC buuuuut the overall story line is just GREAT!!! 

.
JIMMY AND THE ANGEL STAR!!! This next story is juuuust sooooooooooo cuuuuuute and Imaginative!!! All the Christmas tree ornaments like talk and stuff- and NO I DON'T HAVE A CHRISTMAS TREE nor do i desire one buuuuuuuuut I LOOOOOOVE THIS LITTLE STORY!!! IT's been a few years since I listnened to it buuuuut I remember really liking it!!! LIke it has "It's a wonderful life vibes"


I plan to add stories to this EVERY YEAR buuuuuut here is my start!!!
