Marilyn I finally watched the Dead Like Me movies. Wasn't as good as the series, but I'm happy I watched it.

[Marilyn. 340]

yeah the movie wasn't as good as the series but it was still entertaining, I guess

I'm decorating the Christmas tree. I wanted to have it done yesterday because it is tradition for us to put the tree up Dec 8th, which is The Feast of the Immaculate Conception, but we couldn't get the tree sooner because it had been raining for days. So finally we got it last night but it was too late to decorate. I'm going to get a head start by myself and wait for Justin to come home for the lights and ornaments. He comes back from work so late that it won't be enough time to get it all done if I wait for him for everything. We got a real tree and the house smells like pine. Cayenne already chewed up one of the lower branches last night

Saludos,

Caro

Che, Caro, we do the same (I think it's an Argentine thing ) and yet we didn't get to finish the tree yesterday. We also are going to move it to our formal living room and keep it out of the munchkin's way.

I am making a bunch of goodies next week.. I can't wait...

the lady I work for is buying a couple of tins of goodies from me to give away as gifts..

Marilyn, here's an idea for a good, easy treat and you'll only need unwrapped Rolo's, mini pretzel knots and pecans:

Preheat the oven to 250 F degrees.

Take a non-stick cookie sheet and place mini pretzels on the sheet, top each pretzel with a Rolo. Place in the oven for 3 minutes. Remove from oven and quickly top each Rolo with a pecan - press the pecan down gently. The Rolo will ooze out a little bit and create a pecan pretzel turtle. Tis awesome!!!!

sounds good.. I was going to make my own chocolates and I found a super easy recipe.. just melt some chocolate dipping wafers and add different stuff.. one of the ideas I had was to had some broken up pieces of pretzels... and I also though of rice krispies, dried cranberries, etc..
