Holiday Blues

I have a bad case of the holiday blues.
No Christmas tree has been put up and decorated at this house.
No lights have been placed on the house.
No other ornamentation has been done either.
Oh no wait I did put a holiday tablecloth on the dinning room table...

I did make one batch of cookies and one pan of fudge. Both safe for me to eat but really that wasn't to get ready for the holidays. It was because I couldn't stand it with everyone else eating the stuff everywhere and none of it being safe for me.

DH and I are not exchanging gifts.
DHs family decided to do a gift exchange instead of buying for everyone so he has 1 gift from his Mom and I have 1 gift from his brother.
We do have the box of gifts from my cousin and her family in Germany. Too bad their box from us is waiting to be mailed tomorrow when I go to town. Oops!

I am not even cooking a big traditional dinner for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.
I think we decided that Christmas Eve will be Dairy & Gluten Free Buffalo Wings and Oven Baked Fries.
Christmas Day will be Dairy & Gluten Free Lasagna with Dairy & Gluten Free Garlic Bread and a salad.
Going all out now aren't I??

Really I just want to crawl into bed and stay there snug under the covers until 2010 is here.

November, Where Did You Go?

I can not believe that it is already the end of November! Just barely over a month until a new year is upon us... 2010 is almost here. Can you believe it?? Where has this month and this year gone?

Our Thanksgiving went well. Just my DH, me, and his parents. I did the cooking of course. We had a Maple & Apple Cider Turkey with gravy, my special Ham, Sweet Potato Fries, Mashed Potatoes, Corn on the Cob, Fresh Fruited Cranberry Relish, Spinach Dip & Roasted Red Pepper Dip with Tortilla Chips, and Chocolate Cupcakes. Everything was dairy and gluten/wheat free too!

I did head out early Friday morning for Black Friday. I only went to 1 store though to pick up a few things. I did get everything I went after though which was a nice surprise!

I haven't been feeling well the past few weeks. I don't know what is up with me all I know is that I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. It could just be stuff related to my health issues, but I really don't know. Hopefully I can start feeling better soon though. I am thankful that I felt well enough to do the Thanksgiving Dinner.

Still nothing on the job hunt front. Things are ROUGH around these parts for those of us looking for work. I am trying to keep the faith that something is going to come up though!
