 Good Morning Bloggers...it is December and the busiest time of the year for me! I had a loooooong weekend with back to back gatherings and parties with friends and clubs....what fun....Thursday was my "Stitch n; Chicks" party, and although it was a smaller group this year, due to illness and such, we still had our usual terrific evening! Patricia won the door prize Angel, Debb [me] won the "Christmas" colors contest. We exchanged gifts and of course sang our Christmas song[with changed wording to match our group] and ate a yummy meal!!!

 Next Friday was my Red Hats party with the Social Butterflies.... :) It was at the Vice Queen's house and she put on a fabulous affair...we entered to her player piano playing Christmas songs, all indulged in song yummy food and then drew tickets to choose our gifts that were under the tree, I got a beautiful cashmere scarf and gold pin, then the VQ continued to serenade us with Christmas songs that we all joined in on singing...a fantastic evening...I even won the cutest toy soldier ornament as one of the door prizes....thank you ....

Saturday a few of my stitching gals and I went off to our usual Christmas craft fair in Norco....it is always a favorite as they make and sell the best Gingerbread cookies ever....mmmmmm just smelling them makes your mouth water.... and my BFF stopped by to join us for lunch. :)

 Sunday DH and I went to our car club's party...it was a dress up affair and they had rented the whole restaurant...wow....it was an Italian restaurant....yummy!!!! There was a lot of chatting and munching on scrumptious hors d' oeuvres and they had an excellent band where DH and I got to put on our dancing shoes and swirl around the floor several times.... ate a grand dinner and played a fun Bingo game....

DH and I 

All and all it was a wonderful weekend, and now I need to send out my cards....and SHOP!!!!

Yesterday my desk top computer "blew up"...Yikes...we were and still are having freak thunder and rain during our heat wave and the power strip went and while cleaning my "puter" it went too...sooooooo.....into the shop it must go and hopefully I didn't blow the motherboard but I fear I did. You cannot sign on at all and there is a blue screen only I cannot even get into safemode. :( I may have the my guy put in Win 7 I am now running on XP....

So we have to take the little guy in to be fixed....That will take a few days thank God I have my "Click-it" and everything is backed up. :)

But I just washed my car and now its all spotted....sugar....

I wonder if they will give me a free wash???

But speaking of sugar....back to my previous paragraph....I saw these silly candies and thought I would share with you all....has anyone seen these?

Who would of thought of Mashmellow Fries??? Now I have heard of Hamburger and Fries Cake,.,,,my son just got one for my g-son's birthday...it really looked like a hambuger and fries, except it is cake, the fries are actually pound cake.

It seems that French Fries are a popular food to replicate in any form...
