When life hands you lemons add alcohol and stir!

I usually turn the Christmas music up loud and sing sing sing but there were some HUGE football games (American football) this weekend so I had those on while I was decorating the tree. Cookies are another subject. I do need music on while doing that. I haven't started that yet but I'm hoping that I can knock some of it out next weekend. The fudge keeps really well in the fridge for a couple of weeks but the cookies have to wait until right before Christmas or they aren't fresh. I can't stand to give stale or even heading toward stale cookies. UGH!

Gabe has been back in California since last Wednesday. On day two he sent me a text that said "Yes, I miss you." I hadn't asked him that, I hadn't been texting him except in response to something he sent me. That was a shock. I don't know if he was just feeling a little sad to be away or if he actually misses me but it sure gave me a little jolt of happiness for a little while. Like I've said before, I live on the edge teetering, waiting for him to walk out. He had nothing keeping him here and never says what he wants and we all know I'm not about to say a word to him about my feelings. Just feeling like he cared was nice though.

Hope you all had a great weekend. I spent mine trying to decorate my tree and put up some outside lights. I got the tree done with only a few tears and got about half of the outside lights done. The rest will have to wait until next weekend. Not bad.
