Yes the title is true! It is almost a Birthday.... MY birthday. I am 4 days away from my birthday and I have been celebrating for the past couple of days.... So I have had multiple dinners with friends, many pieces of cakes and tonight I am going to a basketball game.
I am not home yet... I will be home soon (just a few more days- actually I could be home anytime between Tuesday-Friday. and I am really looking forward to seeing my friends and family. I started Christmas shopping- 2 out of the 3 gifts that I had to buy have been purchased and put in the mail!
I wish that I had a better update for you..... hang in there with me!

Remember December
I was checking out all of my favorite blogs and decided that I had neglected mine long enough! In my Wendy Williams Voice (HowYouDoin!)
The pictures were all Christmas related! 'Tis the Season to be Jolly! The Gingerbread House was made by a few students here at the J-O-B! They were very proud of the house and I must admit that all of the houses looked beautiful and smelled great! When I was in Phoenix, my brother was at home doing the usual- putting up the Christmas tree! He texted me a picture of his hard work. I sent him the picture of the last Christmas tree and told him mine was prettier! He didn't like that too much!
I have not started Christmas shopping and the little shopping that I need to do has to be done soon! Because I have spent so much dinero on plane tickets, I am not buying much for loved ones. I can't afford it! My goal is to put something in the mail to my niece and nephew and some small things for others.
A few have asked how long I was in PHX and what I did.....
I enjoyed the 75-80 degree weather! That is what I did! For 4 days! My Uncle, who is my mom's youngest brother, picked me up from the Airport! We chatted about the family and he quickly told me that he had bought his wife a Kindle Fire for Christmas! It would be arriving in the mail any day. I told him way to go. We relaxed at his house before my Aunt came home from work and fixed dinner. She started chatting about Christmas shopping and said that she had ordered herself a Kindle Fire that was on its was to their house. I said nothing. My Uncle chatted with me later and said he wasn't happy about the situation. I talked to my aunt later and said maybe she should wait until Christmas. The next day, my cousin took me to lunch and around town. We went to the Cardinals football stadium and enjoyed Coldstone icecream while looking at the Christmas tree outside. The were having a mini holiday market outside complete with a Foodtruck. I was sad that I had just had lunch because the jerk chicken was smelling heavenly. My cousin was sooo sweet! He treated me like the sister that he never had! Dinner with my fam was great and we even played family games!
On Thanksgiving Day, my Aunt and I went to Old Navy before breakfast! I didn't buy much. We returned home and had brunch. We had dinner and started making a plan for Black Friday shopping.
We started on Thursday night. We went with her friend Tonya and daughter Cortney. Same as last year. We were at Walmart by 9:45pm, Target by 10:45pm and at the mall by 12:15am. We didn't leave the mall until 4:45am and then headed to JcPenny's home store until 6:30am. We had breakfast at Mimi's and made it back home by 7:35am. I showered and was in the bed by 8AM. I may not ever go shopping with my Aunt AGAIN! On Friday, her Kindle Fire arrived but she didn't open it. She asked if my Uncle had ordered her one and I told her yes.
When I returned, my uncle texted me and said that he had given her the Kindle Fire he had ordered that day as an early Christmas gift. All was well with the world!
Sorry for the lengthy post but I had to get this all on "Paper"!
Have a great weekend!

Can't be true
Where in the world did NOVEMBER GO!
I can't believe that it is already December! Oh well! Let the Good times roll!
Thanksgiving was wonderful! I was sad that I didn't get a chance to go to church but I was very happy that I spent the holiday with my family! I had a GREAT time in PHX and the weather was Perfect! I really need to move to a warm city!
I didn't sleep much last night and the only things that are keeping me sane are Anita Baker and Coconut Creme Coffee. Here are a few pictures! I will explain Later!
