Christmas Stories -- L.I.F.E. love & a HEFFER named, Abbi

Tis the Season Lovahs,

 

Christmas has come & GONE! & all in a BLURRR for ME! I can hardly BELIEVE each candle light has been lit, stories have been shared, packages are open, and boxes are ready to be packed and tucked away...we are ONE step closer to a NEW Y.E.A.R. I am most grateful that this month was spent entirely with Y.O.U.

TiTi, who would have ever imagined we could have you HOME for 10 whole days?!? PBcuPerfection in my opinion! I think Nonni's inner skinny mini had
her burn that extra batch to help us out ;)

Ashi -- you never fail to keep ME giggling, my mermaid soul ~ sister... Thank You for the constant heart smiles (your new purple hat is going to be FAB @ sweet home, Keaton Beach.i.)

& KANDI, "We've been SO GOOD this YEAR!!!" Thank you for making my 25th consecutive year on the NICE list, one for the story books <3 Even if for a moment things got a little hazy in my stocking! RUDE!

I still long for World Peace & although I know that day is not coming until the GREAT APPEARING, I will continue to include this wish (along with the hIppo) on my L.I.S.T. I am also sad amongst the HUSTLE & BUSTLE we were unable to secure a T.I.M.E. for a screening of our own PLAY on world peace, Capt'n Christmas sails with the Snotty American Debb.i. BUT vote we still get together for a POST Par~Tay! Check your sched.i.'s --

JaN brings ME & Jail Buddi's

BDAY celebratIons <3 

Before we L.E.A.P. into the NEW Y.E.A.R. reflecting on the good times we have had this past month, this past year -- we should also remember our Cripp.i. Christmas L.A.M.B, Joshua & his HEFFER frIend, Abb.i. who steadfastly reminds him, "Don't Be Sad, GOD has a specIal place for Y.O.U."

This L.I.F.E. lesson read by our beloved, Pastor Larr.i, on Christmas morning is another piece of perfection -- I hope for each of us on our sad days, to remember there is a P.L.A.N. & purpose, and had timing been different we would not be in the right place at the right T.I.M.E. to take part in ordinary miracles!

I honestly BELIEVE we are in the RIGHT place, at the right time, and God has a plan for Y.O.U. & ME -- and the time is N.O.W. remembering friends, on the stressful days we have one another, through any M.E.S.S. Nonni is always on the other side, ready to rock her Babies -- and as Dadd.i. proves Y.O.U. are never to BIG to be a BABY <3
 +++ BRO keeps it silly j'adore our BIGGEST BEERleaders, ahem CheerLeaders ; )

GURNS: Llama Llama storybook reads, "Sometimes we should just take a rest and hold the ones we love the best."

In the conclusion of Twenty11 and NEW beginning of 20Twelve,  remember and be thankful, YOUR stocking runneth OVER!!! Looking forward to our R.U.N. and to seeing "less" of Y.O.U. soon,very,soon!
3=ME  xxoo

MWAH in mick.i. L.O.V.E.

GoodLATEnight Houndstooth Lovahs,
Forgive ME for the delay in post! I began to write for our beloved, TiTi's BIG 3+1 day <3 & As always, the sched.i. became busier and busier...but, here I am N.O.W. inspired by a quote I've just heard in the background from Kris Kringle on the tel.i.vision:

"If there is any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not deter or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again."

In the HALLMARK.i. movie, a young blogger asks KK for a quote and he recites the one above, or a simple "HO Ho HO, MERRY CHRISTMAS, will do..." I immediately call upon the Iphone to search via GOOGLE, and was happy to find its origin from 1 of my fav American Poets, William Penn. Knowing, TiTi, would one day name a son theW -- I once journaled along with 12 or so other baby names Warren Penn for a hypothetical child of mine. As of Halloween.i. the name changes to BrooksWarren -- BW, obvs! Regardless, I still have mad L.O.V.E. for Mr. Penn & feel rewarded to have been reaquainted with his literature. As for the baby talk & ME:

The Core4 Skinny's + Nonni have been lucky to have TiTi & babyPrinceW home since her birthday on the 15th!!! He stole my <3 from Hello, and I adore watching his personal.I.ty come to L.I.F.E. in little giggles, grins, OH's & EEEwwwsss! Nak.i. Bab.i. is my all time FAV! In an attempt to blog to Y.O.U. on SUNdaySONday, our sweet PEA was not eewwwing and coooing, but BELTING out screams & crocodile tears :( with our fav, BRO in St.Augi not yet here to help sweet sister TiTi, SHUG fills in! As momm.i. & bab.i. snore in unision -- I rock that precious child in our DaddyBill's recliner. I pray, that in BB's sweet dreams he would meet DaddyBill, one of the great men, for whom he is named. From time to time DaddyBill visits my dreams, always when I need the peace of his presence most. This year marks 5 years with him in HEAVEN -- I can only IMAGINE the birthday party thrown there!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xwzItqYmII How blessed are WE, that in Spirit we are always together and when timing is perfect There WE will all BE forever, together, in etern.I.ty! (Who votes I come up with followup questions on Heav.i., eternity, + L.I.F.E. in general for our beloved, Pastor Larr.i.?!?)

  lucky#3 more days til Candle LIGHT Serv.I.ce -- cannot wait to be with most Skinny's including Y.O.U. Nonni, Jail Buddi, C.Neal.i., S.Whidd.i. & A.Will.i. <3 Special Shout Out to Chan-Man's #6 Birthday TODAY! I am sad I missed sister brunch with Mandi & Linn.i. (SkinnyMini C.McNeill.i. & I have been TheBIGuy Mr.Claus' helpers @ CC) -- but, I enjoyed catching up @ SkinnyJenni's Wedding -- congrats to the Mr.&Mrs.BJ.Will.i.'s!

 

It is also hard to BELIEVE last Christmas, TiTi & I snuggle in BAMA L.O.V.E. baby still in bell.i. (take note of ME round face! Seriously, laying off the PB cups & P.Butter Fudg.i. this Y.E.A.R.) and preparing for our FEB run, run, run...

Channeling our inner, ROLL TIDE, Spirit I encourage our T.E.A.M. to commit to excellence, hard work, dedication, dicipline, & reach goals we have set in 2010. It is also the T.I.M.E. of year to Pencil in Y.O.U.R. New Year's Resolut.I.ons -- #1 for SABAN WIN National Champ.I.onship <3 <3 <3 Regardless, of the outcome of that particular game -- know Y.O.U. have a whole B.A.N.D. of fans cheering us on! Put on gameday gear whether it be  HOUNDSTOOTH, Bulldog BLUE, or a Dadd.i.-O Vintage Tee ;) and lets take a stroll around Bishop Blvd.

Please continue to let your LIGHT shine during this Hol.I.day season! What kindness can you offer to a fellow being? Remember gifts of VALUE this year, or in the next -- Donations to charaties such as HOSPICE, or TEEN CHALLENGE or shopping for a cause, http://www.toms.com/ TOM's with every pair you purchase a PAIR is donated to a child in need.

PAST meets Present...

GoodLATEnight

LOVAHS,

This morning I sat on the 3rd pew @ FPC, witness the 3rd Advent candle lighting (the only PINK alongside 3 purple) with a WHITE in the center...and listen as Pastor Larr.i. delievers a part III sermon on Stories of the Past. I look forward to the service Y.O.U. sit in that very pew, witness the White candle lighting on the 24th, sing the song of the Ox & ASS -- giggle (who volunteers to sit next to ME this year?!? ;) It is fitting to remember the PAST during this time of year...I rather ENJOY it. I've just washed my day's MASK off in Kandi's (disaster zone) bathroom & the soap's fragrance floods memories of the OLD church! I vaguely recall the speckled stalls, and the wooden stepping stool making it possible to reach the sink. I vividly remember; however, other parts of Christmas' past -- Shine, JESUS, Shine!!!
I still BELIEVE I have a future singing with I've just perused the website -- I have til age 29 tick tock beats the CLOCK! Even if I never travel with UPwithP, I am content knowing 100 peeps in Russia have clicked through our SkinnyMini B.L.O.G +++ check out these Stats:

To All Our Foreign Followers: MERRY CHRISTMAS, BLESSINGS, SKINNY WISHES & HAPP.I. NEW Y.E.A.R to Y.O.U. & yours...
Russia: Pozdrevlyayu s prazdnikom Rozhdestva is Novim Godom

Germany: Fröhliche Weihnachten (everyone knows I am partial to playing my role as the German Girl in Captn' Christmas while TiTi lands lead Snotty American and Ashi makes a Mei-He-Co Cameo <3

Kenya: Ithiwa na Kisimasi Kiseo
Lativia: Prieci'gus Ziemsve'tkus un Laimi'gu Jauno Gadu!
Malaysia: Selamat Hari Natal

Singapore: "Sheng Tan Kuai Loh!"

Tonight, Nonni, Dav.i. Kandi & I visit Calvar.i. to watch Aver.i.&ELI perform in their Christmas Program <3 I intend on making an appearance WED night @ 1stPresPerr.i. for another Kids Program & prepare to welcome my very fav,  BABYprinceW on his sweet mommaTiTi's bday the very next day!!! I doubt this year's program tops anything we once presented...but, TIS the SEASON to celebrate LIFE, love, Health, Happiness & baby Jesus' BDAY -- so I am game to kick it!

 I encourage each of Y.O.U. to divulge in little moments of reflection this season...what scents, textures, stories make your <3 SMILE?!? And while it is F.U.N. & games to remember those bits & pieces of the PAST -- strive towards making a BRIGHTER FUTURE! Take along with you only the BEST, leave behind the B.A.D. (recall that 1 Christmas the BF just could not make it to the MAGIC KINGDOM?!?) Funny, years later he is still "just a few minutes down the road!" We are all still YOUNG!!! The time is N.O.W.


Looking very much FORWARD to our R.U.N. fast approaching -->

SkinnyMini Carols...getting back on K.E.Y for ME

Good Morning
LOVAHS,

Most of Y.O.U. know I am an open book -- so as SAD as it is, I must confess I spent most of my day off T.U.N.E. being a Scrooge! Most certainly waking up on the wrong side of the bed, I fail to begin channeling my inner "Buddy The E.L.F -- The BEST way to spread Christmas CHEER is singing loudly for ALL to HEAR!"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp3UoqOkFJo&feature=related

Ashi & I attempt retail therapy @ Christopher's Christmas Shoppe, but were unsuccesful as for the 2nd time in 2 weeks it was closed during PEAK shopping hours. I did manage a <3 :) at the Christian Book Store, and a Christmas Surprise for one of my CC elves who lovingly planned a beautiful birthday dinner + Hol.I.day par~tay for my Working Girl CC Fav's!

Although a late afternoon nap, did not cure the BLUES, nor did a little blue pill aleve the pain in the only body part I have that remains skinny: my fingers -- as I type N.O.W. I am in a much HAPPIER place.

Freshly showered, I apply a POMADE SPRAY product that I purchased a few weeks ago during a Retail Therapy $ession @ Spring Place Salon in sweet, home Perr.i. FL...It is called B Creative and the bottle

Beautifully reads, "I never feel age...If you have creative work, you don't have age or time."
-Louise Nevelson
& "In the world of B Creative there are no right or wrong answers. Puts Hair in a happy place."

SkinnyMember, Mand.i. curling Jessi's hair into a Happy Place! Jess -- we will be praying for you & upcoming surgery! You must get better for our Christmas WildCat Wednesday ;)

I reflect on how this week began -- on a wonderful SundaySONday (ME speeding down I95) joining the fam in St.Augi celebrating BabyPrinceW's Baptism. Channeling his innerAuntSHUG the littlePRINCE attempts to open packages EARLY! Who is going to tell him NO?!? NOT ME...

I realize I have been selfish, but not wasting time on the past I look towards a Brighter Future and a FABULOUS Friday. I reach out to a Requesting Friend on Facebook & promise her JB donuts bright and early in sweet home, Tallahass.i...I will deliver them to my Mermaid Soul Sisters as well. I am blessed to spend my work days in a place of LIGHT & TRUTH.

Tonight, I will take part in an event the JingleBellJubilee supporting Tallahassee's Jr.League -- these ladies commit time & energy to volunteer & community work benefitting those who are less fortunate. J'adore FASHION & PHILANTHROPY

How fortunate are WE to have our Health & Happiness + FAITH, FAMILY, & FRIENDS during this joyous T.I.M.E. of the Y.E.A.R.

Tis the SEASON to SMILE :) Tis the SEASON to CARE&SHARE, Tis the SEASON to celebrate life,love,birthdays, & sweet babies -- remembering 1st the infant in the manger making ALL things possible...Happy To Have Re-kindled my <3 Song & looking forward to singing it LOUDLY to Y.O.U.soon very soon ~SMME.~ MWAH
