Brrr! Chilly Cold!


That's the only thought on my mind tonight. I am FREEZING! My hands are so cold I can hardly type. It's 68 degrees in the house, so I *should* be comfortable. Guess I'm gonna be cranking that heater up here shortly.

Anyway, I haven't done too much of anything over the last couple of days. My boyfriend was out of town for the weekend and my younger two were at their dad's house. You would think this would be prime opportunity for me to get some "me time" in, but alas, I cleaned and did laundry. I did homework and finished Twilight. Yep, you read that right. I finally finished it. And quite honestly, I don't know what all the hype is about. (putting up my bulletproof shield) It wasn't bad, but it wasn't all that either. It was a good read, but I could put it down, you know what I mean? I don't know what I expected from it, but I was definitely left without a huge climax. I probably would have liked it better if I was in high school, not 15 years after. But, I'll watch the movie when it comes out on DVD, just to compare the book to film.

We had pizza and watched Kung Fu Panda tonight. My kids loved this movie. I thought parts were funny, but I was distracted so I didn't get too involved in it. I think that you should rent it if you've got a 10 & under crowd in your house. It was a cute movie and entertained the evil spawn. Come to think of it, they didn't get up once during the movie. That's like 5 stars in our house, lol. This might be a stocking stuffer. ;)

So, earlier today, I realized that my oldest daughter is twisted. Seriously. We had a Kirby Vacuume dealer demonstrating in my house (it was cold and rainy, I felt sorry for him). Anyway, he was showing me the crud the vacuume got up and putting the little discs on a box. My daughter was playing Playstation 2, and ignoring the demo. Or so I thought. There were about 6 of these dust discs on this box. DD got up from the couch and was walking into the kitchen. She stopped and exclaimed "Bob!!" and put one hand over her mouth and pointed the other at the dust discs. When I say exclaimed, it was like shocked horror. The Kirby guy stopped and looked at her, the dust discs, me, then her again. The looked on his face was quite possibly fear. Then she said "You killed Bob!" Now, both myself and the Kirby guy were confused. The she says "Look, there's my dust bunny Bob, and you killed him", faked a sniffle and went into the kitchen. Mr. Kirby was like "Umm.... WTF??" I was laughing so hard I had to pee. That damn kid. Once Mr. Kirby got it, he started laughing too. He said we were the best house he'd been to all day, even if we didn't buy the vacuume. (Which he knew when he came in the house - btw) That girl hangs out with her grandma too much. That's where I get it from anyway.

Alright, I have to go to the only warm place in my house... my bed. I'm gonna read some Core Humanitites until I pass out, which will take approximately 14 mins. I don't know how I'm gonna finish these classes this semester. I can't read the material without going into a coma.

Cutest Monkey EVER!


Okay, so I am a little biased,but these pictures of my nephew I got from my mom today makes me think he is the cutest monkey ever! My mom made this suit for him so we've all decided that next Halloween we're going as the Wicked Witch of the West (that's me!) and her flying monkeys ( the kids). I can't wait! And there's a bonus pic of him being an angel. Man, this kid is c-u-t-e!!

'Twas the day before Halloween...


And someone is getting bronchitis. I'll give you three guesses. *sigh* I woke up this morning with a wheezy barking cough and my right lung hurts. Currently I'm checking the status of my medicaid case to see if I can go to the doctor. If not I need to call my doctor and see if she'll see me and if there are meds on the $4 prescription list at Walmart. Ah, well my case is still pending. So much for that idea. I am however going to the doc on Saturday and I'll just have to pay cash. P.S. - I love my Doc. Her staff is super!

K- enough whining. Time to get on to the really good stuff. So 2Peas challenge today is what is one skill I've wanted but I don't have. I can only pick one? LOL I guess I would have to say that I really wish I was more of a people person, or at least had the ability to talk to people and make friends. Unless I know you, I probably won't talk to you...in person. On the internet, it's a whole 'nother story. But I've learned that people think I'm stuck up or "holier than thou" because I haven't spoken to them in whatever situation. What they don't realize is that I'm just worried about what uncomprehensible form of a sentence will come out of my mouth. Or spit. I'm always worried about spitting when I talk. So for both reasons, I just don't open my mouth. I need to work on that.

So I wanted to start a new feature on my blog. Okay, two new features that are basically the same. My movie review and my book review. I wanted to do these mainly out of boredom. So here are the first ones:

Movie: The Happening

I watched this yesterday. I thought it was really weird. I "got" the premise of it. But it really just fizzled out. I mean, the plants? Only in the North East part of the country? Ummm.... okay. I just wasn't feeling this one.

Book: sTori Telling by Tori Spelling

I literally just finished this one this morning. I really liked this. I was one of the throngs of millions that never thought of Tori as more than a spoiled little rich girl. I had started watching her TV show on Oxygen, and kept thinking she seemed more like "me" than some Hollywood starlet. And her book didn't change that opinion. It seems she spent her entire life looking for acceptance and rarely getting it. And she can laugh at herself. That's one of my favorite traits in a person. Honestly, if she were my neighbor, we'd probably be friends.

My next book is Twilight. I have it in my hot little hands and I'm going to start reading it tonight. Stay tuned.

Last night, we had scouts. We made Christmas cards to send to Troops overseas. Here are their creations. I have little budding artists in midst.

I used those little stamps I bought the other day and I have to admit, I actually enjoy stamping. I've never really done it, but I think I'm gonna invest in some different colors of ink pads and get into that groove. {I think my wallet just groaned} I really enjoyed what I was doing with the stamps I had. Perhaps this will break the block I've had.

And finally, we did cookies and candies to take to the teachers today. I was going to do goodie bags for about 70 students, but I have not been feeling right this week. So my daughter and my bf's daughter both baked cookies and did candies. I think everything turned out cute:







































and these are my new favorite treats. Garlic Pumpkin seeds. I roasted them yesterday. I just love to suck the flavor off of them.
