Advents Corner

Like I said I have been Christmas shopping and I have found some good deals but I really need is my own little set of christmas elves, now that would be nice. They could take out the tree and sort out all of the ornaments and untangle all of the lights. They would make sure all of the lights on the tree worked and then they would decorate the outside as well. Oh to have just one Christmas elf.

Lani and finished the grocery shopping for tomorrow and I don’t think I forgot anything.  I am sure that I will get half way through making something and then realize I do not have something.  We go through this every year.  I it is not Thanksgiving unless I have Matt running out of the house to go and get something at the quickie mart.  It is just us again this year.  Every year I make a huge meal fit for an army but it is just us.  I don’t want anyone to miss out on the joy of Thanksgiving.

Workbenches can be a life saver and a space saver.  I have a work bench for all of my sewing material and the added space comes in handy for those big projects.  Matt and I have to sometimes share the same space so having the ability to quickly store away projects that are being worked on so that new projects can be started is priceless.  With all of the storage space under the bench we are still able to keep a neat appearance through all of chaos.

I have to admit when the story about Kanye West’s mother passing away after undoing a cosmetic procedure broke I was sad that she died but I did not even know who Kanye West was. Now with Dr. Jan Adams walking off the set of Larry King Live it is all over the news. So this morning I looked up the video to see what was going on. As soon as Dr. Adams started to speak his voice was so familiar to me so I Goggled him.

I was surprised to find out that this is the man that I watch on the Discovery Channel on the show Plastic Surgery: Before and After. I was shocked because now they are saying he is not even a board certified plastic surgeon. With that piece of information I am wondering why in the world does he have is own show about plastic surgery on the Discovery Channel? I watch the Discovery Channel because I thought that was a very reliable source of information for me. Now I find out that the information being given may or may not be reliable. How can this man be a top plastic surgeon in

Beverly Hills and not be board certified? I have also found out that he has had two malpractice suits, he has been arrested for DUI 3 times and botched breast augmentation. I can not believe that it took someone to lose their life before all of this came out. How in the world can you host a plastic surgery show and someone not find out that you are not a board certified plastic surgeon? You know that funny saying, “I’m not a doctor but I play one on TV.”? Well this gives it a whole new light. The first thing you are suppose to do when going for plastic surgery it to make sure you doctor is board certified, how did he get away with it for so long?

Letters From Santa are a great pass time at Christmas.  They help parents keep the belief in Santa alive.  My daughters are 17, 13 and 16 months and I have rule:  Santa does not bring gifts to children that do not believe in Santa.  My two oldest will still tell you that they believe in Santa and that is the way I want it to stay.  Christmas is such a magical time in a child’s life and I think we should do everything we can to keep that little part of innocence for as long as possible. 

I have put Christmas shopping into over drive now.  It seems to be flying by now.  I have found some really good deals so I very proud of myself.  Finally people are starting to give me clues about what they want for Christmas so it is making it a little easier.  Hopefully I will have all of the shopping done soon and then I can just enjoy the holiday.
