Friday Five

Given the time of year, this weeks Five is the Top Five Funniest Christmas Songs.

1. I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas
2. Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas song
3. Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer
4. You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch
5. Bob and Doug's 12 Days of Christmas (and a Beer in a Tree)

Please add your own faves!

I notice.

My house is a-glow with Christmas. We have a sweet little "deer scene", on our front yard. We also have some awesome fun twinkly lights running along the top of our house. Why do I mention this? Because while Lashell, Morgan and I were baking our fingers away to make gifts for our respective offices, my darling Angel was crawling on the house hanging lights.

It's not that he hates Christmas, he just doesn't get into it as much as I do. But, there he was, climbing around on the roof, hanging lights and coordinating the "twinkles" just for me.

He did all this for me. What a beautiful and sweet gift he gave me. He not only crawled around on the roof to get the lights up, he also took his whole weekend off to do it.

I love him so much, and I am so grateful to him for what he did for me.
I love you so much Angel.
I notice.

Back to reality

I'm baaack! Lots of avocados. It rained. It was cold. We had a great time. I got drunk with my Mom. I miss them already. I want to move back. More later.

Just click your heels 3 times and say...

..."There's no place like home."

Beau and I are going to California next week to see my parental units. I talked to my dad this afternoon and he said that if I wanted to come home, he would buy the airfare. It is his Christmas gift to me. WOW!! I couldn't ask for a better gift. They usually send me money every year. (Hey, I don't mind that!) But this is so much more meaningful. We booked the flight and have the rental car all reserved. We will be leaving next Thursday the 7th and will return Monday the 11th. Short visit, but I can't swing any more days off than that. Well, I probably could but I didn't want to ask. Anyway, we're going home!!! I'm so excited I think my cheeks are going to explode.

The Friday Five

At the suggestion of The Incurable Insomniac, I have decided to make the Top Five things that: Make me be weird.

1. Finding a stem in a can of green beans.

2. Getting a 12 pack of pop, and finding that odd, unopened, yet mysteriously empty can.

3. Spam jelly.

4. Pooping in public restrooms.

5. People with lazy eye. I mean seriously! Which one should I look at?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY

Friday Fives

I've decided, since I am so bad about keeping up on my blog, I am going to start a weekly project. I am going to start the weekly Friday Five. Nothing too deep, just five things I have been thinking about, or maybe a top five, maybe the five reasons why I... Here is the first of my Friday Fives.

Five silly things that happened this week:

1) My husband attempting to explain to me the subtle nuances of the difference between the top crust and the bottom crust of a chicken pot pie.

2) My baby cat managed to get himself closed up in the bathroom all day yesterday (not really silly or funny, as I almost cried when he came out) But, he spent about 10 minutes in the box taking care of 9 hours worth of kitty business. ( good boy!)

3) A single sentence of a conversation I overheard: "I looked in my rear view, and there was a naked guy running across the street."

4) I got a rubber chicken key chain.

5) I inadvertently bought children's toilet paper. I didn't even know there was such a thing. It has pictures on it, designed to illustrate how much is appropriate to use.

I will take suggestions for Friday Fives. If there is anything you want to know and have always been afraid to ask. This is the time. :-)
