Imitation is the best form of...

Okay so I am wondering if I am starting to emulate my good ole friend over at Angie's Drama. She just recently ...well a little bit ago...had a little fall down some stairs which resulted in her jaw being wired shut. This event among many makes her the ultimate Drama Queen cause her Drama is for real Girl! Okay back to me...a couple nights ago I am walking down the stairs with the baby and slip down the last 4 stairs. Luckily on my back and the baby just hung out on my chest and no harm but a bit of a bruised butt (don't worry i won't be posting pictures) and some crazy rug burns on my arm. So then tonight I am in a crazy hurry and I am coming to out door to enter the house and I trip up our 2 concrete steps...again with the baby in his carrier luckily I just kinda heavily thumped him down. Now since the weather was so nice today I was waring long shorts and lets just saw I don't have much skin left on my front lower leg and knee. Oh this is going to be a beauty to heal! It is so reminiscent of a long ago war wound on my leg from a crazy bird attack! I might post about that at a later date...y'know when my child is grown and moved away and I actually have bouts of free time!

So here is to you Angie...I hope my couple days of injury sparred you...Maybe it's like that movie Just My Luck. I saw Angie on Thursday and we swapped our drama!

Here's to better daze!

Dem Boyz!

here is our little Knucklehead!!!


The 2 brothers...Shawn and Hank!
Yeah they know they're cute!

And So it Starts...

this is the time of year I love...er loathe...er oh I don't know...
A good chunk of those around me have been complaining about the moving up of the Christmas holiday and although I agree I feel like you either play into it or you don't. I like to enjoy each holiday and with it comes lots of great things...cold nights outside and warm nights inside...all the fun parties...Movies...Y get the idea! It of course starts the beginning of the crap I hate...oops sorry mom ...Things I dislike a really really really lot...The crazy shopping attempts...cleaning off my car and warming it up...the sickness.

Okay boys and girls Lets break it down!

THE GOOD

Cold out warm in...
Is their really anything better than cuddling up inside and trying to warm your ice cold feet on your husbands body? I keep letting him know that it was in our vows to keep each other warm so he has to let me use his body for a heating pad!

PARTY!!!
I think my dance card is already full with Jaycees Christmas parties and the Christmas projects...Potter and Anderson's open house (Actually last night) the chiefs are having a holiday party for season ticket holders...the list goes on!

Movies...
stated in a previous post I love the amount of Xmas movies that come out...if it's the 15th time It's a Wonderful life or Miracle on 34th street is on TV I will usually leave it on...plus all the myriad of Lifetime scroogesque movies...It's pretty good.

Let me go off kilter here for a sec as I just realized something...I think it is just loads of fun to make fun of all the Xmas episode that TV shows do...BUT with the writers strike I wonder if we will have any?!?!?!?

Okay Now for THE BAD!!!

Crazy Shopping!
Do I really need to elaborate?

Cleaning off the car
My husband has been trying to get the garage rearranged enough so my car car be parked in side but if it snows while you are out then you still have to go to all the work ARGH!

Sickness!
The madness as it seems to just get passed around...

Happy Festivas!

No Concert but a good day anyway!

Well the long awaited DKM concert fell thru...The free tickets we got in the mail were a 2 drink minimum and the 2 drink minimum was $20...so hubby decieded the 4 hour drive up and the 4 hour drive back= crazy amount of gas $ plus the $40 to get in...and the fact that they wouldn't get home until after 3 in the morning and step son would have to go to school and hubby to work computd to NO GO!!!
Sadly I wouldn't get to vicariously live thru there concert BUT...They went and saw a movie and got some shopping done and when I got off work we all went and saw a movie...Still a fun day with the family!

Movies:
30 Days of Nights- Some sort of Vampire movie...both said it was good but they are guys so take it at that!

Fred Claus - This has gotten horrible reveiws but that never changes if we see something or not becase usually we don't agree with the critics ...again this time we liked it. It's a very enjoyable christmas flick. Vince Vaughn is his usual self and the movie is enjoyable.

I can not wait for AugustRush to come out. It looks like such a great movie!!!

what's going on...

Or... What has been going on....

Sorry so long since the last post but getting back form FL just took some time to get back into the swing of things.

Halloween***

It was a great night...Hank looked like a little version of his Daddy...

I took the day off of course and got everything ready for Halloween...Gave out candy and lots of loot...My husband says I give out to much but I always tell him it's actually a payoff so the neighborhood kids don't egg or F&*^ with the house! I give out little debbie snacks and bags of chips and large size movie style candy and handfuls of the actually small Halloween candy. I then took the baby to my mom's house and worked late shift at the Jaycees Haunted House...

Here is how cute I looked!

TV...

I have been watching tons of reruns of A&E's Intervention...I am totally addicted to that show...New episodes come out in December.

I love this new show called Reaper...it's hilarious...about a 21 yr old whose parents sold his soul to the devil and now he has to work for the devil by capturing escaped souls from hell. I know it doesn't sound like ti but it is hilarious!

So disappointed in Private Practice...a big razberry!

Amazing Race 12 is on ...it took over for Viva Laughlin which of course only made it on for 2 episodes...but of course I watched it because Hugh Jackman was on it!

Funniest line on Amazing Race... Kynt and Vyxsin are a goth couple who are on the race and they were getting on a boat ferry in Ireland and Vyxsin says "2 Ferries getting on a Ferry"

Dropkick Murphys***

I am still dealing with no DKM show in Chicago. They are playing in Milwaukee on Monday. Jim and Shawn are going to drive up to WI for the show...I get to stay home with the baby. We got free tickets so that is freaking cool! Also The Tossers are opening up for them...Chicago Irish band!
