Better things to do...

There are so many things I should be doing right now instead of blogging and playing Pioneer Trail.

Oh yes I am trying desperately to catch up with the missions that I have in there and it kills me when I finish one only for it to be replaced by one more and it is even worse when you get two or three more. I just want to get them finished. Right now I am trying to plant a whole mess of crops since I can sit here and watch them grow, harvest, and then plant more. I've got the day off and then all day tomorrow. It is wonderful. Of course I still have a deco mesh wreath that I haven't even thought about that I should be handing over tomorrow as a present. There are clothes to be folded. More presents to be wrapped. I haven't even done anything with my hair that I washed this morning. There are mountains of dishes to be washed and well I just don't want to stick my hands in the sink. I wish that the dishwasher could unload the dishes more than anything.

I have paid the bills so that is a plus at this point. I have to decided if I have enough of the presents ready for tomorrow but I am probably wrong. I am also trying to empty the DVR while there is time to watch instead of indiscriminately deleting things. There are 20+ episodes of Doctor Who and some of them are episodes that I haven't seen before. I wish that the DVR would reorder the episodes by air date instead of just when they were recorded. A few weeks ago I was watching Star Trek and watched a whole episode that made no sense only to find out that for some reason it had recorded the first part at a later time than the second part. It was a little frustrating because I didn't know that I should watch the other one first. BBC America also has a tendency to show the first part of a to be continued episode and then a week later show the second half. There is one episode with David Tennant that it took me almost a month to see the second half of because of when they were airing the episodes.

The real problem that I have with Pioneer Trail on Facebook is that some times it will all of a sudden tell you that there is an error and need to reload and then it will reset what you were doing. There are times when this may work to your advantage but for the most part it does not work to mine. I have harvested crops, had the error pop up and then I can't get it to load. The next day I log on and see all the crops were not harvested and are now dead and brown. And hell if I can ever get my 'neighbors'  to come and help me unwither my crops.

I also am so excited to see the new episode of the Doctor tomorrow night. To meet yet another new doctor. I'm a little sadden that this is Matt Smith's final episode but I know that it means new adventures.

I have to get up now and do some work or I will be in trouble later.

love ya!

Just Crazy...

It has finally gotten a little into the winter weather mode here in Texas. It was really nice to come out to 'Texas Snow' aka frost which is usually as close as it comes to having snow where I live. I will admit that it did snow about two years ago and it was so amazing to see it actually snow. Of course snow here in Texas is maybe an inch two if we're really good and it comes at night when you can't see it or enjoy it. So to actually wake up from a nap and see that there is snow falling it makes you smile and want to run around all silly like and play and try to catch snowflakes on your tongue.

This is going to be a crazy week so this will probably be the only post that I can hammer out before the weekend. Got a birthday dinner, Christmas party, football game and Christmas shopping to do before  Sunday. It would be better if I could actually get my list together so that I have a plan. That to me is the most important thing is having a plan when it comes to doing all the Christmas shopping in one swoop. Of course I would have to know what to get my husband. He is one of the most difficult people to shop for, well men in general are hard to shop for. They just make it difficult with telling you that they don't need anything, that they don't want anything, having you is all that they need or just not giving you an answer in general. 

And having two teenage brothers does not make it any easier. I hate buying clothes for people or gift cards. Because with gift cards you are telling them exactly how much you think of them. Then I ask my brother what he wants he tells me a hippo. My 18 year old brother wants a hippo for Christmas. What am I supposed to do with that information. I told him that he is getting a Hungry Hungry Hippo game for Christmas. I always wanted that game and never got it. I had one friend who had it and she never wanted to play and the pink hippo was broken. I always wanted to play with that hippo and it was broken. I also always wanted the game Pretty Pretty Princess and I'm not sure if they even make that game in anymore. I will have to look at that later and see. Then I have to figure out what to get for everyone else. Makes things to difficult my family does. Only two people or maybe three have presents that are ready to wrapped and I don't really like to wrap presents either. Especially if there are those presents that are really obvious what they are. 

I guess from looking around the Internet that we are closing in on 12 days until Christmas and that is just 
crazy. I am still having a cow about how close to Christmas it is and how little I have done. 

love ya!
