Keep on Pimpin'

As you may know I work with kids. And this week it seems like it was a lot of work with kids. We've had a bunch that come for the afternoon movie and end up staying until we just about close.

Well, one of my co-workers told us yesterday that the kids had been making cards and asked her to hold their stuff while they went in the back with me for crafts.

She said yes and noticed in the midst of their things that they had made a card. It was filled with sweet child sentiments about how much they loved them and wished them happy holidays. She thought it might have been for their mom. It was the final line though that surprised her.

It read..."Happy Holidays and keep on pimpin!"

I about fell on the floor with laughter. That is what I love about working with kids. They are all full of surprises.

Good day and keep on pimpin'. LMAO

Christmas All December Long

I have been busy ordering presents online. So it seems like everyday I go home for lunch, there is a new present on my doorstop.

It doesn't matter if it is for me or not. It just feels like Christmas.

We finally got our house decorations up. Neither of us felt really into decorating the outside though. And B had a great idea. Since we really aren't having Christmas for anyone else, we put the tree in our bedroom.


Here it is with a kitty present already under it.


It's too bad we already have holiday cards....The tree has a mixture of old and new ornaments. It has a collection of ones that I got from my parents that were on my trees growing up. And it has ones that B and I have collected together. Everytime we go somewhere, we get an ornament from that place. I love having that tradition with him.
We also have the tradition now of hitting the dollar store and buying each other stocking gifts. It is so wonderful to have traditions of our own to share.
Good night and joyeux noel.
