No Party but...

I guess I probably wont have a party. That is fine. Jerry is on day 6 of no smoking!!! He said he wasn't sure he could handle the socialization right now anyway. He also mentioned that Rick had asked what we were doing on New Years...If we were supposed to go to your house Rick I'm sorry...I didn't know. ... ... :) Jerry forgets to tell me stuff like that sometimes. Any way.......I am so proud of Jerry. He went 7 years with out smoking before taking it back up again a couple of years ago. It's a hard thing for him to quit. I don't exactly under stand the addiction since I just do it sometimes and I don't think much about it. He literally "needs" to do it and I think that sucks so I am glad that he is trying to get that weight off of him. There is a lot of heart disease history in his family tree and I want him around to be old and crabby with me some day. SO, him quitting is one of the best Christmas presents I have gotten.

OK...A little sappy this morning but........

Hope everyone has a good new years. I have not made any resolutions yet. For a while I thought I would resolve to loose weight...I think though I will resolve to be healthy. I have good insurance now and I have made an appointment to see a "real" Doctor not a PA or nurse. So I am hoping that 2009 is the year that Jerry and I get healthy. Not sure if the exercise thing sounds good but I will think about it. I am notorious for thinking something sounds great and then I just loose interest...Like exercising. Or eating good....I always end up sitting on my ass with a McDonalds Hamburger in hand :)

Well Off to hit Sams club and get tires for the Volvo and maybe some other good deals.

New Years Eve

So I was thinking since Jerry is on vacation and I actually have the time to come up with something I would like to have a new years eve party. I really should have thought about this sooner I know because I am sure most people are going to have plans...BUT...If you are interested in coming over I can set up the dart board...Or snag a couple new games....I was thinking of getting some really awesome food like bacon wrapped scallops and maybe some other fancy smancy things....Anyone who reads this is invited...Just let me know so I can hook you up with some food and drink that you like! :)

On a lighter note...We had a very nice Christmas. It was quiet...We didn't get the big family parties we are used to. The twins are in NJ....Jerry's sister never showed up for Christmas so we didn't get to see her. It was kinda weird.....BUT as far as the three of us went we had a wonderful night. Just playing with toys and having some yummy food. Zack got a nice guitar. I found a Dean Markley guitar 50% off on line!! I am not sure how he feels about it. He has played it but not really around me. I told him he could take lessons from one of the guys at Northern Kingdom music. I want him to love it...not be intimidated by me. The twins got guitars too....They want me to teach them to play. Santa had a fun time getting guitars this year....I don't know who was more excited...me or the kids....

I'm a child at heart and scored some crayons and a doll...Also a really groovy converse scarf that matches my sneakers....I didn't really want anything this year...I already got so many things I wanted...There's not much to buy. I got Jerry a t-shirt and his owe laser pen like we were all playing with last christmas....Also I got him 3 of the leather journals that he likes to write in. Other than that everything else was for the kiddo....He was totally blown away this year...I love those years....He got everthing he wanted...He was almost embarressed by it. He's a good kid....

Well I am off the hit the walmart....I need to get some stuff but have been putting it off since it's just crazy out there... ....

Christmas Party Whhoooo Hooooo

So I stopped vomiting around 1 this afternoon. I had a totally awesome time but I think I could have done without the shots of Yagger......Naw....Now that I feel better I think it was totally worth it. Last night was so absolutely crazy....Words just don't even begin to break it down. So hopefully my pictures with shed some light on it. I would have posted these sooner but I have been frigging around with this slide show thingy...I have no damn idea what I am doing....Nothing new there LOL... Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!

The Best Gift You Ever Got

Not to be confused with your favorite Christmas because I think those are two different things.....





I was just thinking back on what had to be my favorite Christmas present. See this year Santa is getting Zack a Nice Dean Electric guitar in cobalt blue his favorite color...It reminded me of my favorite Christmas present. A bubble gum pink Bentley Series 10 guitar I got when I was 14. I slept with that thing. My parents didn't have the internet to go online and look for close out prices on guitars...So this guitar was pretty inexpensive...Relatively speaking...I still think it cost them over 150 dollars...Pretty steep to take a chance on...I am so glad they did. I have had my faults with them from time to time...and I have always had a hard time sharing my music with them...but if they didn't believe in me I would be missing out on a very big part of my life. I am so glad that I have typed this out...I see how much of a gift it really was for them to give...(ok now I have tears in my eyes...I swear I am so hormonal this Christmas LOL....) The cool thing is that I get to share that gift with other people now...You know the second best gift was an acoustic guitar...I still have that one..it cost more than my car did at the time...An Applause by Ovation...I named it Tiger Lily and Jerry keeps it safe. I traded it with him and he bought me the beautiful purple Ibanez I have now. Geesh I feel pretty spoiled...I think I'll do the "spoiled rotten" dance around the house today and sing some old 80's ballads LOL....

Merry Christmas....

One word

Tomorrow!!!!!

It's on! Party Time...and we have the awesomest gifts that we could come up with for under 5 bucks....

WhooooHooo it's Friday!

Granted there was a snow day which means my house was packed to the ceiling with kids....Tiny house lots of kids...Apparently it equals a whole roll of scotch tape wrapped around my stair rail ????? Still not sure what the plan was there for them...all I know is they were really damn quiet for like an hour...was the dollar worth of scotch tape worth it? Hell Ya!!!! Not sure why I don't mind having kids here all the time...I am a very crabby person usually...but it just seems better with more kids...The only down fall to lots of kids ... would be FEEDING lots of them....Even when you go cheap it still is crazy ! They were easy on me today though with the food...Chips and Salsa ... Noodles...And lots of water....They never asked for much...I am surprised....It was a pretty good day ! I am ready for a nap though...I colored...I made christmassy things...I even tried to do some beads and wire kinda ornaments until I said...NO it's not going to happen...It is not my skill to wrap beads and wire together...You have to know your limitations...I think I will give those kits to Zack to do since he is better at that kinda thing than I.

Tomorrow I am having breakfast with my Aunt and Cousin...then trying to get some groceries bought...Then...VEDGE OUT MOVIE NIGHT! I love those! Sunday is the Andersen Christmas party...Now in the past I have been to Wakes that have surpassed the Andersen's Christmas parties when it comes to fun. SO...I have a plan...Number one I am bringing Lasagna which is my favorite food so that at least I have that...Number two...always park behind the person that you like the best at the party...that way that son of a bitch doesn't get to leave without you leaving too! You need to have a plan really :)

Well I am off to fill my tub with some bubbles YEAH! Zack and his buddy are playing Sonic..That game makes me motion sick so I am going to go hide until Jerry gets home. Have a good weekend everyone!!!!!

YAY XP!!!

I am no longer a slave to Vista! Free at last thank God Almighty I am free at least! I was really getting tired of fatal error and the whole wiping out of everything I have twice....It's nice...I even have rhapsody back. I haven't had it longer than I did have it LOL...Jerry's awesome. Of course he has been rebuilding computers all weekend. His, Mine, The House computer, His Brothers.....He's a little burned out on that kinda stuff :) Don't let him fool you though...he was itchin to get to this laptop and change it to XP for me. :)

So Zackie has a sinus infections...He's been sick for over a week. I guess it's going around. I know Carrie and Kelli are not feeling so well either...so on that note...I am off to give out some tylenol and make everyone rest and drink their juice...If you are sick out there...get some rest too...the Christmas party in coming up fast!

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things

This is my List of Awesome things I have found this Year....

I would love to see everyones top ten favorite things they have found this year....

These cuties came from the dollar store...I got all six for the twins to have...BUT I wouldn't mind having some for myself. The dollar store has had some really cute stuff in with their usual junk :)

Awesomely beautiful presents....It took a lot longer but they look so good I wish I was a kid!

I HEART MY KITCHAID!!! I whip up cookies like a pro with this thing...I have yet to make bread...but OH I COULD :)

No Not my boob, but my fur lined hoodie that I picked up at SAMS Club...I Adore this thing! I live in it..If you don't have one...you should!

MMMMMMmmmmmm Icing On the Cake....Bubble Bath, Body Spray, Lotion, it smells like frosting and cake...Who doesn't want to smell like baked goods...I picked this up at WalMart. Just don't get caught smelling yourself :)

OK this makes my man smell AWESOME! This scent I like the best! I don't even know what to say about it without blushing...but I spray this sometimes just to smell it.

Splat....The lady at Rite Aid admitted they keep t his in stock just for me... :) Someday I will out grow my obsession with blue hair....Not sure when...I bet in the nursing home.. :)

Blue All Stars that match my hair....What is not to love about these. I had pink ones in the 80's...Black in the 90's and now...Blue for the twenty-aughts.

My Twilight collection...It just appeals to my inner teenager. I enjoyed these books maybe a little too much...I am also inspired by an author who was just a Mom of three then spewed out these books and made a fortune....Who wouldn't want to do that???

And Last but not least...all my new electronics and gadgets...I have never been a gadget person...but I have to say I am grooving on my new laptop...The new Juke side flip phone, my sansa clip and not pictured my FUJIFILM 10.1 megapixel camera...which I think I have used the most of any. Taking up an interest in photos...I will never be a great photographer but I luck into a few good shots every now and again.

So I can't wait to see everyone else list....I don't care what it is. I'd love to hear about the latest camera lenses, Video game, or gun thingy...!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year....

That is all I have to say...Check it out it's funny has hell.

ARGGGG

The Holidays........

I LOVE THEM...I have my tree up...I have presents wrapped.....I listen to Christmas Carols....It's going good.....

Then.....BRICK WALL....A member of My family calls me up and gives me hell for not calling my mother enough. I get read the riot act until I'm turning purple and tears are running down my cheeks....Merry Christmas...After a couple days I have cooled down...And I am doing things just the same way I had planned...AND if not calling enough is all they have to bitch about when it comes to me then HEY...whatever right. It always has to be something......I try not to let anyone ruin my Christmas Spirit. They have come close in the past...Whoa have they ever...Using my kids toys for ashtrays while we were asleep and they were up drinking...That one just about did me in...BUT now they are all in another state and I can do things the way I want to...I'm happy for that. Maybe that makes me a bad person...but I don't think it does...Christmas is for My Son and for the other kids in my family. It's going to be a little magical this year...Because this year of all years we all need it that way. So...Thank you for listening to my rant...AND Bless you and your family I hope that you get to have the Christmas that you want to have. I know I always set my sights too high...Like Chevy Chase in Christmas Vacation and I end up with a Randy Quaid in a RV parked in the driveway dumping sewage into the storm drain...LOL...BUT hell that stuff is part of it too!

On another note...Our car died last night...We tried to go on a recon...mission to jump the battery and get it home...We jumped in our uninspected, uninsured, unregisted truck with the bad brakes and drove to the Old gas station across from Irving where the car died and tried to jump it under cover of the night...So you know a cop had to show up and ask if we were OK...I just smiled and said we'll get a tow truck if we can't get it jumped and he was all nice and said oh just leave it there if you can't it's fine tonight...I was trying not to piss my pants since I probably could have gotten 3 or more defect tickets on that truck if he wanted to be a prick... :) SO MERRY CHRISTMAS...and we did get the car home...It was hard work...Guess the alternator belt broke so the batter wouldn't hold a charge...Go figure...200,000 miles on a car...It should run like new right LOL...

Well I am off to have some coffee and all that...
