Hello December. Well haven’t you started by packing quite the punch? If you read my blog post from yesterday, you heard that Chloe is really ill. Her vet bills really hurt my Christmas budget, but from the sounds of it, she will be okay. She has to fast for the next 24 hours and then eat bland {yet expensive} food for five more days. It’s amazing how the furbabies can tug on our heart strings the way they do. Gotta love them!
Add to it, December 1 - 7, I have to eat everything that my body hates. My endoscopy {to officially test for Celiac Disease} is scheduled for next week and the doctors have said I need to flair up my system with excessive gluten for the next 7 days. I started today with a Chickfila Spicy Chicken Sandwich and then a couple of Hawaiian Rolls. I already feel like I’ve been hit by a truck. Tomorrow that truck just plans on backing up and running me over again when I eat some lasagna with my neighbors. Pray for me. {Oh, and start thinking about joining me January 1 for another group Whole30 Challenge!}
Last month I started a new tradition of documenting my month. I’ve seen this around blogland and LOVE the idea! Here we go with my second month of this series! Huzzah!
EATING — Gluten with a side of gluten, sprinkled with gluten… for one week only.
DRINKING — Wine and water. But that’s nothing new.
DRINKING — Wine and water. But that’s nothing new.
PRACTICING — Keeping the house clean. We are hoping to list our home by the end of the month, in which case I need to keep this abode in tip top shape.
MASTERING — Christmas decorating! Bring on all that is holly and jolly.
LEARNING — what my body can and cannot handle. By the end of next week I will know for sure if I have celiac disease or just an extreme intolerance.
PLAYING -- with a puppy. 24/7. It’s a good thing she is cute.
FINISHING — our kitchen! We are hoping to get our cabinets DONE within the next two weeks!
PLANNING — a couple of nights of family fun, including watching Christmas Vacation on the big screen, an evening at Busch Gardens’ Christmas Towne, and a hockey game in DC!
READING — blogs! I have so many that I need to catch up on! Sorry I’ve been MIA!
WATCHING — Hallmark Christmas Movies. I’m such a sucker for these cheeseball flicks. Oh, and Christmas Vacation {3 times so far this season!}
WALKING — around the backyard, in the cold, potty training Olivia Benson.
WEARING — Leg warmers! I am beyond obsessed! Why did these things ever go out of style?! They are SO comfortable!
COOKING — Thanksgiving leftovers in the microwave! Hooray for GF stuffing!
WORKING — for my biggest client {PWSC} for another year! My contract just came through with them for 2015! Hooray!
TRAVELING — to DC for a Washington Capitols game, spending Christmas Eve with my local family, and then visiting his family in Charlotte before the year is over.
WANTING – a glorious new refrigerator for our new house. It has 4 doors and it’s going to be the rockstar of our future kitchen.
CELEBRATING — Christmas and then welcoming 2015!
As mentioned yesterday, I’m hosting a blogger advent calendar! Join the fun by sharing a christmas picture on your blog, facebook, Instagram, or even Twitter using the hashtag #2catsBloggerAdvent !
