Merry Christmas!

I only work for 2 hours tomorrow!! I'm so super excited about that! It's going to be the best Christmas Eve EVER! Well.... the only thing that would be better is if I didn't have to work at all. :) It's ok though. 2 hours is a pretty good deal. Then I have a 4 day weekend, like most of the people I know. It's going to be a pretty good weekend, I think. Tonight we are going to let Carley open one present. Tomorrow night we are going to have a Ham for dinner and then open all of our presents. Christmas morning will be Santa gifts and stockings at our house and then it's off to my Brother-In-Law's house to open presents there. Christamas afternoon Carley goes to her Dad's house to open gifts and then on Friday we are going to open gifts at my grandma's house and then go to dinner. Should be a great weekend for Carley, that's for sure!
So here is some Christmas cheer for all of you. I'm still not totally feeling the spirit, but as it gets closer I'm getting better.

Merry Christmas to everyone! I hope your holiday is a great one!

My 40th Post!!!

Our Reindeer have been hung!!! Janice & Wayne (my next door neighbors) made these to hang accross our houses.The men finally put them up today! They look awesome! Santa is on his way baby!

I'm not that old am I?

GRUMPY!

I had an old man moment this morning. I was smoking my first cigarette of the morning and looking at all the pretty clouds that were out, and I noticed there were about 15 birds on my roof.

Now, normally this wouldn't really bother me, but this morning it really did. I tried to "shoo! shoo!" them away and they just sat there and looked at me. So I got a big stick and shouted "GET OFF MY ROOF!!!" and brandished my stick at them. They all flew off and then I smiled satisfactorily. Then I thought to myself.... OMG! I just totally had a "HEY KID!! GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!" moment! This was not a revelation I really needed at 6:30 in the morning!!! *sigh* So I guess as I "mature" I'm getting more annoyed at the little things I never used to care about. Now I understand why old people are such assholes! :)

Anyway.....

So last time I updated I promised you all pictures of the ash pile in my backyard. I have delivered!

Here they are:

Nice looking ashes if I do say so myself. :)

Here are some random funnies I got in an email today:

I think this one is my favorite!

So, I'm thinking that someone designated today as "Assholes call in to bitch about stupid shit" day! I have had more assholes on the phone today then I have had in the last 6 months! It's getting retarded. :( Oh well.. almost time to go home!

I'll be talking to you on my asshole call in day sometime soon!

-Please be kind, and rewind!

Weekend fun!

Hey all,
I finally got our Christmas tree up. It's a small one this year. :( I was worried that the dog was going to try to eat it so we got a small one and put it up on an old coffee table. He hasn't shown any interest in it at all! It's good to know we will be safe for next year though. We just have to see what happens with the presents! Here's a picture of the tree. I did the lights, Carley did the bottom ornaments, and I did the top and Jamie put the Angel on. He was Bah hum bug that night.



We went to Zoo Lights on Saturday. Here's a picture of a particularly pretty tree. I love all the little lighted animals that they put up all over the place.




This is of Carley by a cardboard Orangutan. It's hard to see, but it was cute.



I had no idea that so many people go to Zoo lights! We got there around 7:00 PM and there was a pretty long line to get in, and there was NO PLACE TO PARK! We had to park in BFE! We walked through for about an hour and came out to the longest line to get out of a place! We had to wait 15 minutes in line just to LEAVE! Then as we are walking out we see the line to get in is all the way down to the parking lot. It was probably a 25 ft line to get in the place! I guarantee that the people at the end wouldn't have been let in b/c it would have been closing time by the time they got up there! It was amazing. So, all in all I think I will probably not go back to Zoo Lights for a long time. There were just too many people.


Sunday Jamie decided to have a fire in our new "fire pit" in the backyard. It's not really a fire pit yet. It's pretty much just a stump that we designated a fire pit. :)
Here's Carley helping Jamie clean up the branches from the tree he cut down. She's says, "Mom, take a picture of how strong I am!" You can see the little fire pit in the background to the right. It was pretty much that small all day. Just wait though... we apparently don't do small fires at my house!

Here's the dog, freezing his little ass off before the fire got big. He had a long day of trying to hump the other dog that came over, Buster, and chasing kids around. He looks so small!

Here's what the fire looked like after all the kids left. I think that was the tallest it got for the night, but it was pretty big.

Here it is died down some.... very little really...

It was a pretty fire and then we all got tired and put it out. I'll take a pic of the ashes tonight and post it tomorrow. They are quite impressive.

Carley decided to play the "I'm sick" card yesterday, so I brought her into the office with me.

This is some of what she did with her day.....

LOL! For anyone who's not up to date on 8 yr old spelling, that says dirt is disgusting. I'm not sure why she decided to make the sign say that, but what the hell.... It's still up there now. I should probably change it before a customer comes in but.... Fuck it!

So Christmas is in 8 days. I feel very unprepared but ready for it to be over with. It seems to me that almost everyone I know is not into Christmas at all this year. Sucks! Oh well.... New Year's here I come!

-Happy Kwanzaa!

Started out lame... Ended in fun!

Hello, Happy Tuesday everyone!
So the concert was lame and we ended up leaving early. We got some pretty good pictures while we were there though.

Here's a pic of Girls night out a couple weeks ago. It was shot time!




Here we all are at the concert. Lindy, Sam, Hanna and myself.





Bathroom pic!

Self Portrait....

Me and Lindy. I have no idea why I'm bending down.

Crazy eyes!




Yeah, like I said, the concert was a little boring.

Here we are in the parking lot on our way out.

Jamie & Me at hurricane. He looks tired...

Jamie and Mike. Jamie is so awesome. Flip that camera off!

So that was out Friday night. Saturday and Sunday we both pretty calm for me. Sunday I watched Lindy's kids while she was at the Cardinals Game. It was pretty uneventful.

Tonight I think we are going to get a Christmas tree. I just want to get that done and over with. I like the decorating part. I also would like to get some presents wrapped and under the tree.

Well.... back to work. Tons of stuff to do for once!

-*sniff* Oh, that Christmas Tree smell!
