Pedi...

I got a pedicure last night.

Ahhh.....

Wow. It was NICE!!

I was told I needed to do that because I have been feeling a little down. :(

My friend made us appointments. It was the prescription for my ailment.

This was just the narcotic drug I needed.

So addictive.

Yet so lovely and pure.

This is the color I got : Midnight in Moscow. (it looks almost black painted)

I LOVE IT!!!

Dating...

Since my DH has been working almost non-stop for a couple weeks, I have started dating.

Last night I had a date with THE BACHELOR. Amy came with.


Today I had a lunch date with a TASTY BURGER. Katie came with me on this date.


Tonight I had a date with the GILMORE GIRLS. We have actually been dating for a long time now, and they really do get me.


Tomorrow I am thinking of an all day date with some of this:
(I had other dates, these were the most blog worthy ones to share.)

ARE YOU JEALOUS! I am really in the dating scene NOW!

I've got this friend...

Do you ever have a time when there is something that reminds you of someone? Well today I have been thinking about one of my friends. I will tell you what made me think of her later in this entry.

This friend of mine lives far away from me, and I haven't seen or talked to her in YEARS! Now, you may think what kind of friend she is when we haven't even talked in years. Let me give you a brief summary of my meeting Emily F.

Our husbands went to school together. They both did their Master's degrees in Economics (I know BOR-ing!). My hubs decided to go to Law School, her hubs decided to get his PHD. Well long story short they both ended up choosing the SAME school to accomplish their major schooling needs. AND after hubs and I found a apartment to live at, Emily and her hubs went a few weeks later and landed an apartment just TWO doors from us! Emily and I had never met, so we met when she moved to the new abode. I tell you when we met we were instant friends, I swear we are kindred spirits or something. WELL Em's hubs didn't have a very good time in the PHD program that he was in. He decided to see if he could transfer to a different school. Turns out he got accepted to another great school, so just after a few months THEY MOVED AWAY! I was so sad! But ever since then, that was SIX years ago, we have managed to keep in touch through email mostly. We've seen each other once or twice, and talked on the phone. Here are some things about Emily:

~She has the most GORGEOUS long blond hair ever! Her daughter is totally blessed with this hair also, I mean it totally grows like a weed!

~She loves to work out. This woman would work out while watching shows. Oh and I think I recall a time when she was doing crunches on her ball while talking to me on the phone. She has always been in such great shape too, even after having 3 kids! (I hate her for that!)

~Emily is a wonderful musician. Also a great mom and wife.

~She is a work-a-holic, but somehow juggles everything else she has to do with ease. (How do you do that?)

~Emily loves TV, like me, and we had THE BEST Alias and Bachelor get-togethers EVER!

Which brings me to the reason I think of Emily today. A brand new season of The Bachelor starts tonight and I know I can count on Emily to watch it! Em, I'm totally going to have to talk to you about this one, I mean come on, he has a kid!

So anyway, sorry to bore you all on Emily. Maybe you need to dedicate your next blog post to a long lost friend?

(I miss you Em!)

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!!

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.
