Xmas @ Scott & Whitney's

yes, only I would put my santa hats into devil horns!

BFD Xmas

The magician was good, but did the same routine as last year.




They brought back the same cartoonist.  This dude is so weird.  He was talking to little girls about how advertising makes smoking attractive for women.  It was actually killing me to listen to him.  What a nutjob!   And none of his drawings looked anything like the people. haha








I love their facial expressions



And....he's okay!!!



nope.  1 Santa too many this year.

funniest damn thing right now

oh man!

update!  It's in Bedford Heights!!!!!

it's coming!!!!!

Tomorrow!

It's coming here just for me all the way from Canada!!!!

I can't wait to meet it!

I've been using my old FLIP PHONE for a week.  Thank God it was during Christmas week, bc I'm so busy with hanging out with people that I don't have time to look at my phone.

But it's amazing how many new phone #'s I've acquired in the past 2 years!

flowering tea

Umami!



I really like these clear tea cups.  Plus they are HUGE!



my tea ball.  haha



drop it like it's hot.....well yeah, it is kinda hot.



It's like the Blooming Onion of tea!  haha  But sooooo much better!



and for lunch: Seared scallops with a chilled green tea noodle salad.  Usually comes as roasted shrimp- but this substitution is AMAZAH-Zing-zing.

the pets

NOBODY wanted to corporate that day!   EGADS!!!!!!

Winter Photo Op

Yay! It finally snowed, well these were taken during our first snow day, but today it snowed, too!









I hate that I'm a photographer.  I hate that I have so many visions of cool photo ideas, but I would LIKE for MY family to be a part of my ideas.  It's kinda hard to take the pictures I want of my family by myself.  So I have to ask others to do so.  My little bro came out in the freezing cold to take pictures of us.  I bossed him around telling him exactly what I wanted, and believe me I'm picky.  As much as I appreciate it, I still think I need to give him a few pointers.  Like focusing, for instance. haha.  And compostion.  I cropped these.  I think I'm just going to have to realize that there just won't be any Kristi Standard photographs of me & my guys.  :(













not to mention the fact that the guys don't exactly corporate very well.






ugh. whatever.

oh i love it

I have searched everywhere for these lights!  I love them!

ugh

Ok, I feel like crap.  I really want to try going to bed early!  Get up early, workout, don't drink, try to not be lazy, basically change my life! Haha.  When I was getting rest and working out, I felt really great!  So that's it!  

Jimmy & I were talking about how I'm so stressed out and how I need to stop taking on new things.  Well I'm one of the new track coaches at the middle school.  oops.  At least it'll be good for me.  I'll get paid to run around.

I've also found some good ideas on Pinterest for some workouts.


Cheers to a new me!

this is cool

i kinda want this!!!

and i want this

this is soooo creepy!

Phone Randies

Erin & Mark.




oops.




Kim's AWESOME painting!

Duane's Bday!

Caden, Michelle & I went to Duane's 30th Bday party.  I FORGOT MY CAMERA!  But luckily, Michelle had one!

These are her pictures:



The cake was HUGE!  I wanted to see Duane go in it face first so badly!




Kaylee cried everytime Caden touched her.  It looks like he is going up to her to tell her everything is alright.  He started crawling all over the dance floor!




Jimmy has those shoes!  haha  His house shoes!

Christmas Tree Fun

It was late, I wasn't quite ready to go to bed.  I might have been on something and didn't even know it.

I'm surprised this didn't make me dizzy.

This is what my life has resorted to....

I feel like this is all we do!  I saw just throw it away and buy new stuff when they get dirty.



Jimmy won't jump on board with the idea.... lol

The finished product!  Looks great!  And oddly enough, it smells really good, too.  Reminds me of that soap foam that Mikey used to have when he was a baby.
