Happy Birthday! I feel like frosty!


Happy Holidays!

The work is done and now it is time for me to play. I have a new toy to play with, too. When I stop drooling over it, I have managed to play with it a bit. Hmmm... Should I share? Perhaps not. Eric knows.

So far, no Christmas tree up. It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas - in every house but ours ... So why is that? I just got done with school on Wednesday. All the papers are in and all the tests are in. I napped the day away yesterday after shopping. That was the first time for Christmas shopping. I want to run downtown for a bit. But, I also have Christmas gifts to bake. I was so naughty last year when I told Mel that I had been giving out my infamous caramel corn for years hadn't Eric shared? The look on her face was priceless. But now the word is out that last year was the first year that I had shared it with my family. I had brought it to work for years.

I just don't know where to begin playing! I feel so excited. My house is such a mess, that I think it is easy to tell that I am the main cleaner or enforcer. Occasionally it gets to Brian, but the children are completely blind to it.

There is so much I want to do. I have some learning to do with my new toy, I have videos that I have not watched, websites and blogs I have not visited, not to mention my own that I have not kept up on. I have news that I have to share, but that is something of a downer, so I won't do that. Perhaps I shall begin anew.

I just feel so unchained! It is wonderful, but where do I start. The writers strike came at a perfect time, so I can no longer see new episodes of my favorite shows. Some that I thought were completed have turned out to be not showing until after the strike. Not that I watch much television, but more cable shows that are beyond interesting to me. Sundance and IFC are among my favorites. But lately I have seen more than enough football. My Bears are playing today.

Hmmmm...I suspect you confused the look on my face, which was supposed to convey "You're full of sh**" with "I'm going to kill that no good brother of yours for not sharing." In either case, shame on you for holding out! Like your coworkers deserved it more than your family!

Congrats on the new toy, too -- you suck! :)

Love ya...

There's a right to arm bears, right?

Mel - Yeah, okay sure that's what your face was saying. And I lllllove my new toy that y'all tried to keep when I was leaving. I think I could have forgotten a kid, forgotten the Brian, forgotten the car, but I wouldn't have forgotten the toy that I now live for.

Yeah, I have bears and they won.

I think the Vikings need arms beared, they can't seem to do it on their own. Speaking of which, what do you call a Viking with a Super Bowl ring? .....a thief! How do you keep Vikings out of your yard? Put up goal posts. I had to share. Don't you feel special?
