Not just your normal Oreo anymore... I made these on my lunch today :)

Howie's 1/2 siblings... poor kids.
Who knows how many Howie really has. It must be hard when your mom can't keep her legs closed. I bought these 2 food yesterday. I bought them 24 days of food for $13.00. That is an 18lb bag of dry food and 24 cans. Howie's 6lb bag of dry food is $16.00... figure that one out.

I'm hot.
It's hot today. I'm in shorts and a T-shirt and I'm still hot. Did someone forget to tell Mother Freakin' Nature it's December? Geez. I'm realistic, I get we'll never have snow but how about some clouds? Some cool breezes? Rain perhaps? Something below 60's or 70's would be nice... it's really not that much to ask.
Sure Global Warming doesn't exist, just like road rage is just some slightly under the weather people. Bite me.

Night at C.A.L.M.
Running here and there, I can still find time to do "fun" stuff. We headed out to C.A.L.M. to "Lightasmic." They cover the entire zoo, it's small, with lights and have a fun little light show near the popcorn/snack stands. They have added a ferris wheel ride to the train attraction. Mostly, it stays the same but I don't care. I like being out in the cool, night air just starring at all the lights. I'll snap a few pics but nothing too fancy. One of the main things I enjoy is eating an Apple Dumpling. So we walked through and I was all ready and then... they were sold out. *smacks head* How the hell... what the f***... are you kidding me?!?! We're suppose to go out again next week with the family, they better have them or lighted heads will roll!

Shopping/Christmas Tree Update
Okay, so it's looking a little more promising now. We went out again and conquered a HUGE chunk of that list. I'm now "making the present" <-reference to a Friends episode. Well I'm making some presents and that is A-OK with me. I love to make things. Even more so, I love to bake things. I like all the check marks by the names. I'm finally feeling like I got somewhere.
We finally found a Tree. Holy crap it took us 5 lots and a period of 3 days. Friday night was a bust. They were either too big, dying on one side, missing big chunks in an area or too small. I now know how Goldie Locks felt. We broke down and drove 35 minutes from our house to the really, really opposite of town and found it. We walked in, went right up to a tree and said we'll take it. It was that simple. We now have an offical Christmas Tree lot, it's a nursery and I highly recomend it. Pictues to follow soon.
14 days till Christmas...

Christmas Parties Galore
So yesterday I had some baking to do. YAY! I made a fun red and green checkerboard cake, jalapeno cheeseball and a christmas tree tower of star shaped rice crispy treats! That was fun. Then we took said treats to Erin's moms' house for their open house holiday party. She made lots of good stuff. Articoke dip on some mini breads, mmm. My cake looked so cute when she sliced it open. I was happy. Erin was a little happier, she had 3 margaritas with some homemade tequilla courtesy of one of her dads' employees. They were smooth, I give them 2 mexican thumbs up.
From there, we headed to the High School Staff Christmas Party. That was fun, it's like being in high school again. They gossip just like kids, it's really funny actually. I got to put more faces to names which helps with Erin's stories when she is ranting about people. And as the alcohol started to flow, so did the people right onto the dance floor. Some highlights of songs to give you an idea: Baby Got Back - I laughed so hard I was crying, Beastie Boys song - one guy was headbanging on the dance floor, good stuff, Fergilicious - good thing children were not present and then some good ol' fashioned cabbage patch, the sprinkler, the stick shift, the walker and a few others I can't remember because I was laughing so hard.
I had a really good time and can honestly say I knew a lot of people. Lots of smiling faces. I love to see people enjoying the holidays. Only 15 days till Christmas...

3 hours, 2 presents...
At this rate, I should finish my Christmas shopping by January 16th. We had no dogs and a lot of time and that's all we got done in 3 hours! I can't believe how long this is taking, I never have this kind of problem. And for those counting: only 17 days till Christmas.
So today I went online and in 15 minutes I found and paid for 3 presents. *smacks head* Geez. Apparently, driving around, sitting in traffic, driving up and down isles looking for parking, wandering aimlessly around stores, standing in line behind screaming kids isn't all it's cracked up to be. Wait? What? Apparently, I need to have my head examined again. They say you can't actually call yourself crazy till a doctor writes it down on a piece of paper... mine should be in the mail any day now.

December of what year?
I can't believe this year has come and gone. I keep thinking that each year will make a little more sense, slow down a bit and things will fall where they may. However, what actually occurs is: things get more confusing, I pick up more hobbies and friends and things fall alright, fall all over the damn place so I trip over them trying to run out the door to my next appointment.
Geocaching takes any day free time we have. We have Travel Bugs we need to move along, I'm hoping we can do that this weekend. If you haven't seen that blog it's on the right. Check it out.
Our new friends, keep us damn busy and we love it. Monday night parties every week with some other outings in between. And of course, once again, softball is around the corner.
I'm dumbstruck at how fast it really has gone. Pitching lessons are going well. 2007 looks to be just as fast. We have so many of our weekends already booked and damnit all if I'm not turning 30! I'm not doing well with it but I'm doing my best to take it all in stride. I'm on the fence on this one. Hopefully, my birthday tattoo will help make it all better.
***This was my random post of all things somewhat recent. I'm hoping to be back on my daily schedule now. Wish me luck.***

A nice new home. Very plain, very neat, very safe... or is it?
Just a normal flower bed, the most evil of things are the weeds but somewhere underneath lie something. Everything changes at night - EVERYTHING.
This is some of what I did to our house at Halloween. I truly had the best time and could have used 2 more days as I still had A LOT more decorations. We had many people and kids who enjoyed the house and we picked our victims..um... kids that we thought were okay to scare. As they ran away screaming, we could also hear them laughing. Erin had a blast standing near the door, very still, very quiet, watching and waiting. We had many a child who was almost too afraid to even walk up to the house. However, the good parents said, if you want to continue trick-or-treating, you WILL go up to that house. So very slowly, they would look in as many directions as fast as their head would allow and head to the door. Then happily they would run down the driveway saying how "COOOLL" everything was. Basically, that made my heart sing. I had some of the best comments and I enjoyed every one of them.
Hope you enjoy the pics as much as I do. I can't look at them enough. Throughout the month we had many parties to attend, all of which, I made Halloween themed food. These are just a few of the things I made.
