We're taking a break from houses this week because Kenley is busy. We'll look again on Friday. But oh man is Friday going to be busy!
Here's the agenda so far. Andrew is going to drive me to work at 7 (so I can get off at 4 and he can get to work on-time). At 3:30, he should get off work and come pick me up at 4 so we can go meet Kenley at 4:30. After looking at some houses (for who knows how long) we (or I because it is Andrew's birthday so he shouldn't have to do anything) get to go home and finish any party things (like cleaning the house or decorating). At 7, people should start showing up for the party. Sometime in the wee morning hours I get to go put dinner in the crock pot so I can pull it Saturday afternoon at 3:30ish and get it back into the pot for an hour before people show up for dinner. At breakfast time on Saturday, I think we are having pancakes and bacon, so I get to cook that for whoever is left of the All-Night-Movie-Marathon. I think then Andrew wants to go to the park and play frisbee golf. I plan on making lots of coffee. Lots. At dinner, his fam is coming over along with anyone else who either hasn't left yet or is returning for a pot luck. A true pot luck I am told. Now I haven't planned past this point yet. The only thing I do know is that we need to get some paper plates.

Almost Xmas
It's been a long time since I updated this. It's just been really busy at work. Yesterday we exchanged Xmas presents (mostly) and had brownies for John's birthday. LeeAnn gave me a bracelet she made (so pretty!) and she gave Jennifer the pretiest hat and scarf. Jen got us all a yum-o candy and a lottery ticket. We didn't know how it worked, so Andrew called someone to ask. I think it was Laura. I thought that they called you or something if you won. Everyone seemed to like the cocoa cups. But that's a good long story...
So we bought mugs, cocoa packets, marshmallows, and candycanes for the "cup of cocoa" presents. I wanted it to look like I put more work into it than just shoving two cocoa packets into a cup, so I transfered the powder into little baggies I made from celophane (sp?). I kinda made a mess. The mallows went easier into the baggies. (Making the bags involved lining one of our funnels with celophane, dumping the contents into the funnel, and twist-tying it shut.) The fun part was getting the cinnamon incorporated. I wanted to give everyone a complete cup of cocoa. Cinnamon included. So I read somewhere on the internet that you could put stuff in styraws and then seal them up with a flame. Awesome! That's perfect! I tried with terrible results. As I was hunched over the candle with the straw melting and not sealing the way it looked online, Andrew says from the kitchen, "You know that makes poisonous gas?" No. :( He said it would be fine though. So I made the packets in the straws and made a big mess of melted plastic. Woo! But everyone seemed to enjoy the cocoa. Yay!
I managed to finish the craft project last night that was the very first thing we bought this year for Xmas. Sheesh! All's we need is glue and it will be ready to go! If the glue dries in time. :/ Can you staple wood with a regular stapler?
Addy turned 2 on Sunday. It was a fun party! Nicole went all out on the milkshake theme. The cards, the cake, the food. It was pretty awesome :) I'm glad Addy liked our present. I hope she likes her Xmas present! It's not as soft. I think this might be the first present that isn't a stuffed thing. (Don't tell her Nicole!)
I'm impressed with myself. I think I have Andrew stumped with a present that I bought him. Yes! He gave me ideas, but I think hwe gave me too many because he doesn't know wat I got. Hahaha! If he guesses it though I'll kick him in the knee. It's obvious from the shape what it is, but he doesn't know exactly what!
On the radio:
After listing a bunch of things that you can get on the internet, this came on "Living next door to the Wicked Witch of the West? Move! Duh! Then get your change-of-address forms from USA.gov." lol
Speaking of the Wicked Witch, the Wizard of Oz was on recently. I really love that movie. It's on the list of "movies that I like but knowing my usual taste in movies, I shouldn't like it". Like Homeward Bound. Or Down With Love.
Bluebery crack is wonderful.

Budget?
Redneck 12 Days of Xmas. <- after much upload trouble, here it is.
Kittens running up a slide. This is too cute.
For a bit of Xmas music. They’ve been playing it since at least Thanksgiving.
An awesome potato song.
The feast is mine!
We had fun playing frisbee golf with Hoyt and Carrie this weekend. We also had everyone come over for dinner so Andrew could play with his deep fryer. I like it when the family is over. Addy only made me nervous once when she threw the panda, but she was very very good! We played Apples to Apples and Balderdash. It was only until Addy had her meltdown that folks decided that maybe it was time to go home. :)
We got all of out Xmas shopping done. Now all we need are a few more things for stockings and for me to get my craft act together.
December budget? What December budget?

I'm on an animation kick
My leg was itchy last night so, being without nails, I used a hairclip to scratch. This morning Andrew said my leg looks like it has tetanus. I have no idea what that means. It hurts when my pants touch it. I won’t scratch with a hairclip anymore.
So this morning on the way to work, Andrew did something that made me angry and I told him to shut up. In the time that it took for us to drive from Tharpe to Tennessee down High, I completely forgot why I was mad, I just remembered that I was mad. At the light Andrew apologized and I told him I forgot why I was mad. He said something along the lines of “that’s one of the perks of being married to someone with short term memory problems”. I love Andrew.

Today calls for two posts
A ridiculous site. I love it. ThingsBearsLove.com I think my favorite is the petting zoo. Be sure to check out the source code too. Bears love source code lol
This site is even more ridiculous. It is 10 reasons why dating a unicorn would rule.
And if you thought the last one was the worst, click here. Why dating a T-Rex is a no-no.
Or here and see if your cat is trying to kill you.
Or here for reasons to grow an awesome beard.
This is bizarre.
This is random.
This is absolutely hysterical! So is this.
Just mowin’ the lawn.
Sometimes I feel like this on the inside. I never feel this bad, but totally understand how someone could. And this is why.
So, since I’m a nerd, this I can identify with, but I don’t know about anyone else who reads this. Also, as sad as this sounds, this would be impressive.

Mele Kalikimaka!
Usually I think Jimmy Buffet is excruciatingly annoying. But this is fun to say and I can identify with it more than White Christmas.
This is pretty cool. This guy drew the Mona Lisa as she would be drawn by other artists. Some of them are brilliant :)
Want to waste time? Visit this site. You are supposed to click on the picture you think is the cutest :)
This is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen. The internet is wonderful.
Neave.com is fantastic. I think you can actually go brain dead for a while. I like the dandelion.
I just hear this on the radio. “…There are lots of teenagers in foster care that would love to push your food around on their plate. Call 555-5555…” Is that kind of a weird thing to pitch or is it just me?
My arm is killing me. I thought it was from the Frisbee, but it still hurts so I’m thinkin’ it’s something else. To change the subject abruptly in mid-paragraph, I’ve been using a desk lamp at work to keep warm. It works really well actually. You just can’t touch it or it’ll burn you. Change! I like Xmas music. Change! Andrew called at work this morning and I picked up the phone, but it kept ringing. It was totally weird.

Busy weekend
This weekend was wonderful. Andrew played poker with his family, I got our house decorated, we played Frisbee golf with Nicole, Robert & Addy, watched the Xmas parade thing, went to Market Days, made fondue, watched a movie and played a game that Lauren gave us for Xmas.
Friday night Andrew went to play poker with his family at Grandpa’s place. That gave me time to decorate the house without whining :). I managed to get everything out this year that wasn’t broken. I was going to wait for Andrew to help me put up the tree because I didn’t remember how to do it, but when I got it out to look, it was easy. The hardest part was finding the lights plug for the middle section that I forgot to plug in. I love our Xmas tree. The snowbabies are perched perilously on the china cabinet. But the display is impressive I think. :)
We woke up later that we were planning to to go to play at the park. Robert is too good at Frisbee golf. It was fun. Addy came and was cute. Nicole played some too. That night we went to the Winter Festival thing downtown with the family. It was fun. Andrew had to work until after it started, so we decided to skip the headache and just park at FSU and walk from there. Let me tell you, that is a haul. We walked through the lights on Park and Addy got her face painted by Daisy the Clown (aka Lauren). Andrew got some food and I got a corndog. We watched the top half of the parade since we were so far back. We saw Lauren on stilts. Woohoo!
Sunday was Market Days. We wandered around all the booths and bought some stuff. We got a crapload of scrubbies. These should last all year. We wore the one we have completely out. It was so worn out it was soft. :) We got some Xmas presents and a birthday present. Andrew also got some dip stuff. It was totally fun. Addy managed to pour an entire bottle of water on herself, so they bought her a new shirt to wear. She was out cold before we left.
The plan was to cook dinner for Lauren & Paige and then take them to see the TCC production of A Christmas Carol. Well, we did the dinner part. Andrew made cheese fondue. It was wonderful. Better than last time. We also had chocolate fondue for dessert. We piled into the car and made it to TCC, but it was strangely deserted. Whoops! No play tonight! Saturday must have been the last day. It was a nice ride though. ;) Instead we watched A Muppet Christmas Carol. Only the best Xmas movie ever. Lauren gave us presents. I got a game that is totally the Calvinball of board games. It was so much fun to play! Andrew got a deep fryer. He was so excited about it. Thanks Lauren! We love you!
We are going to start the shopping tonight for what else we need. I like my secret stocking person. They are easy to buy for :)
You know how they find images of Jesus in toasted cheese sandwiches?
Cream filling!
Flamingos v gnomes
Ew! Dog germs!
If Chuck Norris was a dog…
Cup-o-pup
Pixilation
Xmas decorations!
