OK OK...

So I now have people threatening me to post something new. So here it is. Heh.

Let's see, Christmas was awesome. The hubby and I really tried to outspoil one another this year. I got him an X-Box 360 and he got me a new computer and a replica 1930's style stereo with a turntable! Yay! So I dragged out all of my old waxy love and have been having a blast reliving the past.

No New Years resolutions for me, I only break them.

OK, so much for the catch-up. You see, my life isn't all that interesting. Well, maybe it is to me SOMEtimes, but I really don't think it is all that interesting to other people. Maybe I am wrong. (Please feel free to be honest. Heh, like any of you would flatter me. LOL)

Have to run an errand, brb.

Ok, back. I had to visit a client. On the way back I stopped at a local bakery, Red Rock Bakery, and got a tea and this chocolate yum yum from hell. Oh man. It's so freakin good.

Well, I hope this makes you happy. Hehe. Tonight I have a dinner meeting with the Stillwater Young Professionals Association. Should be interesting. I'm ordering steak.

Well, the boss just walked in and I need to split.
I will try to post more often OK!!??
Sheesh

Friday Five

OK, so now that the holidays are over and done with, I can get my life back to normal. Or as normal as my life has ever been. To start with, here is my newest Friday Five.

2. The Good Earth - Buck

3. The Davinci Code - Brown

4. David Copperfield (or pretty much anything by Dickens)

5. Night Music - Waller

I love to read, I need to make more time for it. What are some of your favorite reads?

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?
