Christma…..huh?

Saturday people – SATURDAY!!!   24×7 Christmas music on XM radio!!!  

I have 20 something days of Turkey decorations and then it will be TINSEL TINSEL EVERYWHERE!  

Thank you baby Jesus!!

Rockband

This awful game (if you call it that) has made it way in to my home.  

So as I sat upstairs last night after counting the cobwebs on my kitchen light cleaning up the house, I started to enjoy  my daily brain challenge called the LA Times Crossword.  I say challenge my brain because I make myself hold off from calling my mom for the answers until the very last minute.  

Anyhoo…..the clicking sounds from this game when you are a floor above the people playing will make you want to stick a pencil in your eye.  They turned down the volume so the music wouldn’t be too loud, but I am here to tell you that Kiss’ Lick it Up would have been more enjoyable to listen to than someone trying to use the Rockband guitar for the first time.  

Seriously – remember those HUGE pencils from elementary school.  I really did look for one.  Instead all I found was the cheap mechanical pencils that my 8th grader uses and after having written with them before knew the lead would break at the retina.  I doubted I would have any return on investment of my act after that. 

Srsly – Rockband = erratic clicking and drum beats.  There is a reason there isn’t a tour bus in my driveway.

Wordless Wednesday

It is getting cold here.  I thought I would post a picture that makes me feel warmer sitting here in my igloo office.

 

Why 40 does not suck

Tomorrow

Yay for me taking a half day off tomorrow!!!

1.  Toes toes toes toes toes – that is approximately the number of weeks since I last had my toes done.  Lord I am glad it is boot season.

2.  Pick out a Halloween costume.  Let me tell you how I loathe Halloween parties.  L O A T H E   Especially with about eleventy million extra pounds on me.  Oh well – maybe I can find a ketchup bottle or french fry costume.  Mmmm…  I will be right back….  :)

3.  I’m 40 this weekend.  I love birthdays ESPECIALLY mine!  Party Saturday that husband has put together.  This is the great thing about it.  I know there is a party and I know most of the people who will be there, but there are always bound to be surprise guests.  As a matter of fact I cried a little at a stop light this morning in hopes that he would be able to get a few out of towners here.  Please!!!

4.  Hey!  Put an 0 behind that and you get 40!!!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Wordless Wednesday

Utah in pictures

This will take more than one post.  Had a great time and loved the people that I met – they were not at all a reflection of the signs that I saw while there.  

 

Utah 2

Pictures are coming.  

I had a great time and was very relaxed when I returned.  

Forty is around the corner and I am actually excited.  This is the age that I am meant to be.  

Feels like my favorite shoes – or pajama pants.

Utah

I have a big birthday that I am NOT dreading in the very near future.  Really – I’m not dreading it.  I am looking forward to this age and kind of feel settled about it, like this is the decade for me.  

A dear friend of mine is taking me to SLC this weekend (starting tomorrow) to celebrate.  I haven’t ever been to Utah – hell I’ve never been out west at all.  I’m a boring ‘ole Southern belle native.  Belle………hahahahahaha!  Not so much.  

I wonder what Dooce is doing this weekend.  

Rainy days and…..

Two funerals in one week – I hope that we are done after today.
