Goodbye Fall!

Okay, so I worked through the entire fall, but I just couldn't move on to Christmas

until I posted these pics.... Isn't the Mini Hunk HUGE????!!!!!

So sorry about being the worst blogging buddy in the world; I really do miss everyone. Due to the economy, I am out working a good bit these days. (Speaking of which, if you want to add some books to the stockings, check them out here....dirt cheap stuff. Ships in about 3-5 days. Or if you are in need of extra cash and want to join the team, email me.)

Anyway enough marketing my business, I am getting ready to close up Santa's book shop, and so I will be back very soon! I hope all is well in blogland, and I will post a giveaway in the next few days....So LOOK OUT! :)

I am okay...I think

So, I know I have been a little out of it lately, but it is with good reason. In the last month, I have: hosted around 10 book events, survived my son's 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th tooth arrivals, visited my in-laws for a week, been to the doctor (again), and survived over 16 hours in the car with a 16 month old boy.

Right now, I am off to unpack luggage, feed my husband's grandma (who is staying with us for the week), smear on some make-up, and head to a book fair.

Can I be committed for an addiction or something? I think chocolate counts, right?

:) Miss you all~

Oh, and the doctor said that the Mini Hunk may have something viral, but most likely is just very spoiled....my son???? No way! HAHAHA

5 Little Blessings

I have been so busy that I feel like I am running on a motor. So, I took today for myself to slow down. After some thought, I decided to blog about 5 blessings from this week....

1. Holding my baby as long as I wanted to first thing this morning.

2. Having a husband that works hard for his family.

3. Enjoying a hot cup of tea with honey.

4. Getting to shout, scrub and wash itty bitty baby socks.

5. Having a vast overstock of Halloween candy.

It's the small stuff that really matters, right?

Mini Hunk!

Not much new around here....just work, work, work...

This is one of my fav new pics of the Mini Hunk...

Look at all those teeth!!!!!!

Happy Friday!

Secret Stories, Vol 3

Just visiting from my break to vent a bit. I have the WORST ever secret story to tell! Oh, it is terrifying. Let me start by giving you a little background...

I am a Holly Hobby sort of girl. Generic enough to be confused with others and often forgettable. While I am short enough to make ten pounds look like twenty, I am still tall enough to ride the rides at Six Flags. Oprah would say that I am "apple shaped." (Yet another reason I am peeved with her...What woman wants to be compared to fruit?) Anyway, even if I run everyday, my legs just get thin like Barbie (okay, more like Skipper)...however, the "apple" does not seem to register all the blood, sweat, and tears and firmly stays put.

Having said this, the other day I was at a family reunion. We were all talking about birth and baby nonsense, and my aunt wanders over. She asks, "Oh, Kendra, are you pregnant again?" CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? Come on! Unless some one's water breaks or is wearing a T-shirt that says "bun in the oven," you just DON'T ask!!!! So, I just said "no" and dismissed it as a comment based on what she overheard from our conversation. Sure, that must be it....

Then, about a week later in Target, I was shopping for socks for the Mini Hunk. Well, this lady just looks over and asks me, "Are you expecting?" GASP...oh the horror! Through clenched teeth, I said "no......" My strong sense of sarcasm was the only thing that helped me through. Since this lady was more of an, ummmm....lets say, watermelon shape, I almost snapped back, "Yeah, well, you are no Cindy Crawford, either." However, I just enjoyed my ugly thought and walked away. Uhhhh, depressing! I have done 100 crunches every night since...well, almost every night. :)

* Note: The aunt I am referring to is not the one you will find here...it is another aunt who obviously has poor eyesight.

PS. Check out a great giveaway HERE!!!!!
