Hallmark Moment

I had a 7-hour Hallmark moment today.

That's how long I had the house to myself. With the cat, of course. Hubby was off to take son #1 Christmas shopping in Eau Claire. And Carter was off to a friend's house and a first visit to a shooting range. (His buddy will be deer hunting next week.)

So what's a woman to do with her own time??

I can sum it up nicely: 1 hour of cleaning, 6 dozen Christmas cookies baked and 3 (yes 3) Hallmark holiday movies!

Yup. That's pretty much how my TV screen looked all day! After I was cleaning and finishing up my Cookie Bake goodies, I also squeezed in a trip to the grocery store, too. Oh, and did some laundry. So I wasn't completely lazy, just a merry multi-tasker!

I didn't expect Carter to be gone all day, but since he was, I just kept my butt planted on the couch. It was raining all day anyway so I was not about to go for a walk or run.

Carter had fun with his friend and also enjoyed the shooting range. He brought home a surprise for me since Dad gave him 10 bucks when he dropped him off this morning.

Nice coffee mug, huh? I don't know what was started today, but he's already talking about hunter safety and deer hunting in 2014. Does he know that you can't kill a deer with a coffee mug? Or that kind of gun? Yikes. This will be interesting.

I'll see if he changes his mind before I'm done watching Hallmark movies.

And that'll be awhile.
