riley emma really excited about the trip

nfe

sick

frickin' frackin' mother fuuuuuuudgin' xmas lights

that is going in our living room

i really like this bow and pink paper

WOOOO!!!! neopolitan ice cream wrapping.

i REALLY like that flavor ice cream, haven't had it for a long time

jimmy wanted to take part in making a gingerbread man, too

his name: fuzzy balls

molly didn't like the glue on her hands. i don't blame her. i'll never know how i could stand letting glue dry on my hands and then peeling it off.

WOO HOO! it's slide time!

what goes up...

...must come down

the great thing is that this adorable kid is a ham! she knew i wanted to take her picture, and at the age of almost 2, she is posing as she walks through the candyland game

"haHA! hurry take my picture! i'm on the move!"

molly was minding her own beeswax, when this dang kid saw me trying to take pictures and kept running in my way. i think we have a scene stealer on the loose

andy, molly, & THE CLAW

totally reminds me of Rudolph!

my STUPID camera wouldn't focus! it is soooooooooooooooo frustrating!

still sleeping!

my aunt sends me a picture of a pig that lights up for xmas. she is obsessed with pigs. i tell her that she HAS to buy it, and she says they sell it at Meijer's. well she, nor i, have a meijer's store near us. but then a light bulb when on and i realized that ST has one. so i called him right away to see if he can find one and buy it for me then send it to sue. he walked into the store and it was the first thing that he saw. HOLY PIG! so he goes to buy it and the store mgr says they cant keep them in stock! he sends it down to her. i went online to check the status. IT'S THERE!!!!! i asked my dad if sue was home or out of town for t-day. she was.....until MONDAY! well shit, i texted her, "go home!" she called me back. she asked if the pig was waiting for her, i told her that i had no idea what she was talking about. so she got home last night and she busted thru the door and saw the pig waiting for her on the counter! she put it up b4 she even unpacked from her trip! YAY!!!! we did it! thank you scott!!!!!! p.s. scott went to the store the other night, and the pigs were all sold out!!!!!

update

WOW! so as i posted b4, we had a few pitfalls with the dang lights. but i didn't tell ya what else went on. as jimmy & i were putting up the lights, we had the dog outside playing. she is NORMALLY pretty good about staying in our yard. well i just happened to look up and saw her in the middle of Bell Rd. i screamed at her and there were a bunch of cars coming. that was the first time she has EVER done that. what the hell was she thinking? she came running over like, "oops, i'm sorry..." holy crap! someone is looking out for us, bc i also left the house for like 4 hours with a candle going! GEEZ-ZUS! what the hell was I thinking?

well i'm off to get ready for work. i have a half day of subbing today! then EEEE and i are going to go out to eat @ a thai restaurant, so i am SUPER excited! when i get home, i get to work on MORE xmas lights! woo WOO!!!!

2nd bonus g.o.t.m.

ya know what really puts out my fire?

so my husband & i are putting up xmas lights. i'm so excited. we get everything all situated, plug in the lights and "BOOOOOOO" only half of the strand works! WTF!?!?! this really sucks, not to mention that it is like 12º outside with a windchill of about 3º. ok....no biggie. i've the patience to get thru this. i go to the store and exchange the lights as well as buy new lights for other parts of the house.

we plug them in BEFORE we unravel. SWEET! 2 for 2! we start getting to work. YAY! looks cool. i'm so giddy, i can hardly control myself. plug 'er in. WTF!?!?!?!?!?! out of 200 lights, about 50 work. jimmy starts doing the "throw crap & kick shit." i start laughing bc all i can think of is "national lampoon's xmas vacation" & "the 12 pains of xmas"

then i start quoting the movie and singing the song...

"now why the hell are they blinking?"

gripe of the month

ok, i forgot to post my "gripes" i think for about 3-4 months.

so this month, i will maybe do 3 extras.

here is one:

ya know what really twists my panties?
Bad Park Jobs.
i mean, come on people. how hard is it to park? and if you pull in and you're crooked, please....take the few seconds.....pull back out.....turn the wheel....straighten out....pull back in.
i have left notes on cars b4.

word of advice:
if you're going to park like an @$$hole, then please leave a can opener outside your car, so people can get into their own cars.
