It's OK (by me)

  It's that time again. A time to reflect on who cares, so what, it's ok! I'm going to play along with airingmylaundry today as I tell you what items/events/activities  are OK by me.

  It's OK that I may actually miss out on the 2 special limited time drinks offered by Starbucks.

  It's OK that the end of the year is almost here.  I'm focused on starting a new year!

  It's OK that I have my DVR set for the new season of Housewives of Atlanta and Steve Austins Broken Skull Challenge coming up in November!

  It's OK that I'm reading 2 books at one time because one is for fun and the other is for my book club!

  Are you ok?  Because if your not you should be! 

The Elf day 1

  This is the first year with an elf.  I have different plans for him.  He will not be up to mischief as I have read about others.  He will encourage us to interact with each other, get out and about and play games.

  He was placed in position yesterday to been seen in the morning for his first activity with us.

  I have read where some families are not participating in the elf idea because they find it creepy that he moves.  My daughter thought it was cute that he was stationed by the door.  My son said he had to go with us since it was his idea.  They realize it's not real but it's a fun imagination game!

  We got some great books to read over the next few days and in the end it was a nice introduction for everyone.
