Ken worked all weekend so I had the house to myself. Got it fairly well straightened up for the time being. I need to seriously de-junk it though.

We met Sunday at BMW after he got off work and went shopping. He mentioned that he would like to get a new comforter for the bed as all I have for it right now is a thin bedspread and a blanket. Saw a sign for “last 5 days of Linen’s N Things”, so went in there. There wasn’t much left but we did find a pretty comforter set that had two sheet sets, two decorative pillows, bed skirt, two pillow shams and two euro sham covers in it. It was a raw silk looking kind of fabric in a sea green that is quite pretty! Even at 50% off it was $85 for the set which really isn’t all that bad.

Anyway, it looks nice on the bed and was warm.

Today was overcast and foggy all day. I’m sure glad the bad ice storms missed us.

I have a Christmas party to go to tomorrow night. Guess Charlotte is going with me as it’s the Greenville Kennel Club’s party. I managed to find something for the white elephant gift exchange that I think is quite cute. It’s a cow that the sides are like blackboard and she holds a piece of chalk in her tail. You can write things on her sides — not large paragraphs or anything, but little reminder notes. I think it’s cute, anyway.

I got a santa mantle sitter thingy for the company party that’s Thursday. I couldn’t really think of anything that would suit. There are more women than men, so it’s hard to find things that are gender negative. It’s kind of quirky looking so may appeal…who knows.

Ken’s really bummed out over the latest cuts at BMW. They’re cutting hours and making more off days next year. Nearly his whole vacation will have to be used for shut down days instead of for personal trips and such. Our dog show hobby will be severely curtailed with all of this, but that’s OK. We will do what we can and that will be enough.

If you get a chance, be sure to watch the Eukanuba Invitationals on TV. There’s a Whippet in the finals in Agility and she’s quite good! A Whippet also won a Group Two in the conformation competition, so it was a pretty good year for Whippets overall. See the current schedule for when they will air below.

I guess that’s all the news I have to share.

Stay warm and dry.

Love to all,
