Christmas in review...

Alright, just so you know I am alive and well. Just been busier than usual, and now that Christmas is over I might get a chance to breathe! I thought I would sit here for a few minutes and tide you over with a quick review of the last week or so! Here are some things that happened:

Last week:

It actually snowed at our house! This is the result on Monday.

Then THIS happened on WEDNESDAY!

This week:

Saturday, while in town with family, we went ice skating. I found this little girl to skate with! It was Oh so fun!

Our version of the Nativity. Here are 2 angels, Joseph, Mary, baby Jesus, and a crawling animal.


A couple family parties later and we are back home Christmas morning:

Our tradition: Ebelskivers for breakfast!

Oh so YUMMY!

Now it's today:

Girls way into their new stuff. Mess all around.

Me, listening to my new awesome iPod.

While cleaning and washing bedding!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a happy cleaning!

Had a Bad Day....

***Warning*** Heroes spoiler alert ahead. (sorry Linds!) Although it may or may not be true.

I had a bad day yesterday. It all started when I had to take over when the receptionist had to leave at noon. Then went on with 4 days worth of mail to open. Then the non-stop phone calls. About 50 of those calls were "BEEP, BEEP" some stupid person was trying to send a fax and WOULD NOT give up! Packages were delivered, therefore leaving me no space on the desk. People kept coming and needing things signed and other stuff. I had to write 30 checks, initiating arthritis or carpel tunnel, whichever is more dramatic. When my replacement came in to relieve me I about started to cry, but didn't, and told her I had about killed myself. (I am not suicidal)

Then I get home and my kids are BUGGING me while I am trying to make dinner. The only redemption is that I did a good deed and took dinner to my friend who just moved. One kid decided that the only word she could say to me was "no" all night long (she's almost 8). She was already grounded, and I wanted to further her sentence indefinitely. Unfortunately my DH greatly discouraged that.

After the kids got to bed I folded 2 loads of laundry and cleaned 2 more. Then the WORST thing HAPPENED...

SYLER KILLED ELLE ON HEROES!!! Say what?

p.s. I had a much better day today. But was very clumsy. Just call me Bella, seriously I was THAT bad! Well I didn't get tracked by a blood crazed vampire, so I guess I wasn't THAT bad!

BIG NEWS....

It's OFFICIAL!!

SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES
TWILIGHT SEQUEL - NEW MOON

Los Angeles, CA November 22, 2008 — Summit Entertainment announced today that the studio is officially moving forward with the production of NEW MOON, the second installment of its filmed franchise TWILIGHT, the action-packed, modern day vampire love story. The movie will be based on the second novel in author Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series titled, New Moon. The first movie in the TWILIGHT franchise, the self-titled TWILIGHT, arrived in theaters this weekend to sold-out showings.

Stephenie Meyer stated, "I don't think any other author has had a more positive experience with the makers of her movie adaptation than I have had with Summit Entertainment. I'm thrilled to have the chance to work with them again on NEW MOON."

***My thoughts on the movie may have to come tomorrow. I had to work today and I have TONZ of house work to do! Anyway that give Ace time to see the movie and not a chance I will corrupt her thoughts of the movie! (LOVE ya Ace!)

GIRLS' DAY....

Yesterday was one of the BEST days EVER! I got to go to St. George with my friends, and see our friend who moved there away from us. WE MISS HER! We had a fun day filled with food, friends, shopping, and FUN! Here we all are at the Pizza Factory:

Now here is what I BOUGHT!

Cute wreath with cute mat!

Cool fake flowers in a pot for my dining room table!

Close up!

The rest of it is Christmas decor! Here is the nice mess in my front room!

It was such a FUN day! I wish we could do it every month! Too bad life gets in the way, and we are all busy moms. I LOVE YOU FRIENDS! Thanks for waiting for me to not have to work so we could go! Oh and thanks to our D HUbbys for watching all the kiddos while we were having such a great day!

ONLY 4 more days!!

I'm hot...

Well, at least I'M GONNA BE!! Today I made a purchase for my Twilight movie ensemble! I found this shirt online and called the local store and they had it! My awesome friend from work even picked it up for me so I didn't have to drive all the way to the far mall with my kids! I am SO LUCKY! I have the shirt, I am most likely going to wear it with jeans. I will have my NEW black purse (right mylinda?), hmmm...I'm thinking some new shoes might be the next order of business! I AM SO EXCITED! Now keep in mind this is the least cheesiest shirt the store had! Some of them had writing on the whole back of the shirt. I think this was the best one. It also had the famous "3 things" and that is what Twilight is all about!

Close up of what the shirt says.

ONLY 8 DAYS!!

p.s. How COOL am I?

Movie etc.

I BOUGHT MY MOVIE TICKETS!! YEAH FOR ME!!


oh and I also


BOUGHT THE SOUNDTRACK!


oh and


I am a CRAZY FOOOL!

Ha!

oh and


I'm done now!

15 days! YIKES!

tagged again!

Mylinda tagged me! I think I may have done this one before, but I'm gonna do it now just for MY linda!

1. I burp all the time. They are LOUD too! I can't help it. I think there is something wrong with my stomach. I never drink anything that's carbonated, just a glass of water will do the trick.

2. I LOVE LOVVE LOVE Pride and Prejudice! The movies, the book, Mr. Darcy! I can't get enough of it!

3. I'm a little obsessed with all things Twilight. But that may be something that is obvious?

4. I cut my own hair most of the time. I did it when I was younger, and I still do it now. I'd say about every other haircut is done by me. It takes a long time, but I get the most compliments when I do it! Unless those are just pitty compliments cuz it looks horrible?

5. I am really good at figuring out problems, not mathematical, but life problems. I guess you could call me resourceful. At least I think I am?

6. I'm a singing fool. I sing in the shower, in the car, while I'm getting ready, you name it. I'm very good at memorizing songs, I just have to heard it once or twice and I know it!

7. I can't watch live TV. I have to DVR everything then watch it when it's at least halfway through. I CANNOT stand commercials! Although lately I have been able to catch the Twilight preview while I am skipping, then I stop and watch it and squeal and stuff. BTW have you seen all THREE different trailers? I HAVE! Try watching Gilmore Girls on ABC Family if you haven't. They show it at least 2 times during that show! I, personally, can't stand the one where they have the voice over, I now mute that one and just watch.

I tag....
