BURRRRRRRR...

it's really cold out today!! We are under a wind chill advisory and the wind is so strong I can hear the house creak. The temp is around 0 but the wind chill is like -15. I had planned to take my two GS out shopping for small gifts for their mom, her boyfriend, and little baby sister, but due to the extreme cold I decided it would be better to put it off until tomorrow. It's still going to be cold but the wind isn't supposed to be this bad...and maybe because it's a weekday, we'll miss the crowds if we go early enough. I also wanted to go to Michael's tonight with my 15% off entire purchase coupon, but I think I'll just stay inside where it's warm and cozy--and do some scrapping after supper instead. I have an 8x8 recipe book to work on for my niece (not a xmas gift though) and I really need to get it started since I promised her last Christmas that I would make her a copy of the one I did for her Dad---it's all my parent's favorite recipes (mostly my deceased dad's favorites) and she wanted them too, so I'll work on it tonight, who knows I might even get it done before Christmas (LOL)!!?? It's either that or wrap up in a nice warm fleece throw and one of my favorite books--hard choice!
There isn't much going on around here today--the boys are watching movies with Grandpa--that's all Grandpa can do right now since his hand is still all bandaged up and not supposed to be used. He will get the stitches and bandages off Christmas Eve and he can't wait---he's going stir crazy not being able to do stuff and he hates being behind on his projects down in his workshop, but his surgery was more important because without it, he would have lost use of that hand and then there wouldn't have been any projects!!! Anyway, everyone is basically bored today not being able to go out or do anything fun (the boys like to go to the workshop and use Grandpa's tools to build things--like birdhouses, etc.).
Life is just not alot of fun today!!
