Six Random Sadie Facts...

1. I love to color. I could color all day long with Ruthie. It always makes me feel young and happy. I remember coloring all the time as a child, and I am so glad Ruthie loves to color as well.

2. Randall and I met when we were 17, at my boyfriend-at-the-time's, little sister's b-day party. (Did you follow that?) I got dumped that night, and Randall and I went out for the first time later that week. We haven't been apart since. I knew from the first time I was with him, he was the one. It was an odd way of meeting, but the Lord knew what He was doing! Here's a pic, just b/c I want to! Oh to be that skinny again.....



3. I love to cuddle. I wish Ruthie wouldn't toss and turn all night long b/c I would love to snuggle with her every night.

4. Growing up, my brothers used to tell me I was adopted. I honestly believed it. Crazy thing is, we all look way too much alike for me to be adopted.

5. I could eat pancakes every day of my life. It's one of those comfort foods for me. Seriously. The bad thing is, I can eat way too many at one sitting. It's not good, I know.

6. I want a dog so bad right now. We don't have any, and it's lonely around here. I am in dog mode, so I am on the lookout!

Anyone who reads this- consider yourself tagged!

Me! Me!

Another tag blog, what a better way to talk about me?

Jamie at Simply Jamie tagged me, so I guess I'll do it.
So here’s how the Me! Me! blog tag works:
First, share 7 facts about yourself. Next, tag people at the end of your blog by leaving their name and a link to their blog. Last, let them know they’re tagged by leaving a link in their blog.
My 7 things:
1. Being a mom is the most rewarding job I have ever had.

2. I am a nerd. I love to read, read, read.

3. I have webbed toes.

4. I was a motormouth when I was little and apparently Ruthie inherited that from me.

5. My drug is Pepsi. I seriously don't know how to make it through a day without it.

6. I don't balance my checkbook. I just go by what I think is in there and luckily we have only had a few problems with that in 5 years.

7. I really, really miss Eli and Grandma......

Christmas survey!

Ok, It's nap-time and I am bored. I did a 30 minute workout and it is HOT in my house. I am letting the wood stove burn out.

Tara tagged me, so here it is hon!



1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Both. If it is hard for me to wrap, I place it in a gift bag. It's a family tradition to wrap all the gifts from Santa in tissue paper. I am not sure I like it though......Ruthie's gifts were harder than crap to wrap! LOL!

2. Real tree or artificial?
Real. Our family owns a Christmas tree farm, so it's free. I love searching for the perfect tree. Ruthie had a ball too!


3. When do you put up the tree?
Usually around the first of December. It's was more fun than ever this year. Ruthie got into it. I gave her a few cheap/unbreakable ornaments to hang low and she keeps taking them off and putting them back on.


4.When do you take the tree down?
Usually the week after New Year's.


5. Do you like eggnog?
No. But honestly, I can't say I ever tried it. I don't think I will either. I just don't think I would like it....but who knows?!


6. Favorite gift received as a child?
I would have to say my bike. I got a blue/pink bike one year. My brothers and sisters and I used to wake up super early and go downstairs to see what Santa brought us before Mom & Dad were awake. Since they wrapped in tissue paper, we could easily see what we got. So, one year I woke up to see if I got a bike. I didn't see it anywhere. I was sooooo sad. Well, comes out it was hiding behind the curtain! What a great memory!


7. Do you have a nativity scene?
No, but I wish I did. We don't have many decorations. What we do have was given to us.


8. Easiest person to buy for?
I would have to say Randall. I always know what he wants/needs.


9. Hardest person to buy for?
I would have to say my Dad. He never wants anything. Usually we end up getting him tools. Exciting huh?


10. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?
A baby doll. My aunt did it as a joke, but I thought she was being serious. I was so upset. I HATED dolls. Turns out there was more, but that baby doll is still at my Mom & Dad's. At least it wasn't popcorn and a joke book! LOL!


11. Mail or e-mail Christmas cards?
Mail. I was going to do that during nap-time, but I just now remembered!


12. Favorite Christmas movie?
This is the easy one. Miracle on 34th Street. I love, love, love that movie. My mom and I always watched it together.


13. When do you start shopping for Christmas?
We usually wait till the last minute, but not this year! We started in late October!


14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?
Nope, not yet!


15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?
Pumpkin bread. Seriously, we eat so much pumpkin bread during the holidays! YUMMY!


16. Clear lights or colored on the tree?
Right now they are white. I don't mind colored, we were just too lazy to search for them!


17. Favorite Christmas song?
Hark The Herold Angels Sing


18. Travel at Christmas or stay home?
We usually go to my parents on Christmas Eve. That's not really considered "traveling" though. They live less than 5 minutes down the road.


19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer?
Whoops, didn't change the answer to this one. I sure can! On Dasher, now Dancer, now Prancer, and Vixen, on Comet, on Cupid, on Donner & Blitzen & good ole' Rudolf!


20. Angel on the tree top, or a star?
I am really embarrassed to say that we don't have anything on top of our tree. We plan on buying one when they all go on sale.


21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?
With my parents- Christmas Eve. Randall, Ruthie and I- Christmas morning. But this year it'll be different. He has to work on Christmas day.


22. Most annoying thing about this time of year?
SOOOO many rude people out shopping! It's the holiday season, but nobody is nice. I just put on a huge smile and greet everyone!


23. What I love most about Christmas?
I have to agree with Tara. Everything. I love giving. I love seeing the kid's faces when they see what's under the tree. I love celebrating the birth of Jesus.

I don't think many people read my blog, so whoever reads this is tagged!

Chrismas is near!

I love Christmas time. I love the smell of the Christmas tree. I even love the smell of our wood burning stove. Yes, the same stove I was mad about in another post. I L.O.V.E. hot chocolate and the smell of anything baking in our stove. I love shopping for others. I love this time of year!

This picture was taken the other day. We were getting ready to go somewhere and her little chair was sitting by the tree and she sat in it and I had to take a few pics! This was one of the better ones. She's a mess. She makes me laugh all the time though. She is learning more about herself. She cracks me up with the faces she makes.

I have been exhausted the last few days b/c I have been sick with allergies. They are kicking me in the BUTT this year. It hasn't been this bad since I lived with Mom & Dad. I am taking Zyrtec daily and my inhaler most days. I hate to, but I have to.

We are heading up to Randall's dad's tomorrow. We are leaving as soon as Randall gets off work, 7:30 or so, and it'll take us about 2 hours to get there. We are staying the night and spending that day there. I am sure we will have a great time. Ruthie needs to bond with her Granny & Pop's. Plus, Grandad will be with us and we already know she adores him!

Tara challenged everyone who read her blog to post 8 random things about ourselves, so here they are!

1) I have webbed feet. It's only two toes, but they are truly webbed.

2) I am totally in love with Garth Brooks. Not just in love, TOTALLY in love. I get all giddy when I see in in concert or even on tv.

3) I met Randall at my boyfriend's (at the time) little sister's b-day party. He asked me to go hang out with him b/c I was upset at my boyfriend. I didn't take him up on his offer that night, but I did the next night. Well, you see where that got us!

4) Growing up I despised my sister Sharie. Now, I couldn't love her anymore than I do now. I have two sister and they are truly my best friends.

5) Someday I will go to Spain. I have always wanted to go there....someday!

6) When I was little, I hated my middle name- Ruth. One of my friend's mom told me the name sounded like dog barking. I got over it to name my daughter Georgia Ruth. After all- it's about my Grandma b/c it's her middle name as well.

7) I have a dimple when I smile. My brother's and sister's used to sing the song- "Sadie's in the middle, let me see your dimple!" OMG I hated that!

8) I clean house like my mom. Everything is cluttered. In order for my house to look nice, I just stack that clutter neatly!

There we go. Eight random things about good ole' Sadie! Oh, and I challenge anyone who reads my blog to do the same and post eight random things about themselves!
