An Aloha Friday

 

Happy Aloha Friday...

Being a new blog I am going to start linking up to find some like minded blogs and bloggers.
Plus some of these link ups are wonderful in the ideas of what to blog. Although I feel like
I have plenty to say, these link ups defiantly give a good start on how to say it.

As the boys are off to school and I am enjoying a much needed quite cup of coffee...
I am looking around at the buckets of Christmas decorations thinking how closed in it is making
me feel this year. I haven't figured it out yet, but for some reason it all is making me feel closed in.

It could just be the day though... today would have been my parents 49th wedding anniversary.
(They both passed away 4 years ago from cancer)

Of course it could also be the fact that we will not be home for Christmas this year.
Our big gift is to go on a 5 day cruise leaving on the 22nd...

With the boys being 16 &12 I think what I have decided to do is set all the gifts out the night of the
21st and act as if the 22nd is Christmas morning.... Oh yeah, the boys have no clue as to the cruise...
How fun is that!

It has been very hard to keep it a secret and also to not slip up in conversation and spill the beans.

My coffee cup is empty and the buckets are yelling at me so I think I am going to
try and straighten up before going into the office today.

Y'all have a wonderful weekend...
Ali
