another birthday...

A hip hop happy bday to the biggest baby ever!!!!! Boyo, you are getting older, but will always be the a-nnoying littlest brother I've ever had!!! The kids think they are the same age as you, and you are the most fabulous 23 year old uncle they have!! Just a little song for you...

Hey AARON, it's your birthday, I'm in charge of the stars, and I'm here to say,
Hey AARON, it's your birthday, today!
My name is zoom, and I live on the moon, but I came down to earth just to sing you this tune,
Hey AARON, it's your birthday, today!

I got your crazy...

I almost got arrested on Monday. I got pulled over for speeding (the officer says he caught me going 82 in a 65). It turns out that I have a warrant for my arrest for a non-moving violation. This parking ticket was NOT gotten by me. I just happen to be the wonderful person who was in charge of licensing the automobiles during my still unfinished marriage. So, this ticket was gotten on the Durango. Fortunately, the officer did not feel like arresting me for this. He also gave me a ticket for only going 5 over, so it won't impact my record! Can I just thank this officer!?! So to keep my holiday spirits up, I decided to make an elf costume. When the girl heard this fun, she wanted one to. I found that Hobby Lobby had $1 patterns, found a pattern that could be considered an elf costume, and picked out the most FABULOUS material to make them with! I then took it to my mom's, who said she would serge them if I would cut them out. That is an offer I can't turn down! They are the best costumes, and I think the girl and I will be wearing them way past Christmas!!!!!

it's birthday time...

The goats would like to give a HAPPY BIRTHDAY shout out to one of the most fabulous aunts we have!! Happy Birthday Kate!!!!! Welcome to your new 20's!! I've been waiting for you to get here for 15 months!!!

snow memories...

So they say it is going to snow tomorrow. I just thought about my favorite memory of a snow storm from several years ago.... The kids and I went to the grocery store to stock up on essentials (milk, eggs, cereal, diet coke and chips!). As we were loading up the car, an old man came up to the car next to us, smiled, and said, "Just in case I get snowed in!" as he held up a gallon jug of vodka and a gallon of OJ. I just had to smile and laugh to myself...

yamma jamma!

I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, and I've become a two-face! My lack of sleep, and last week's crud, which I have narrowed down to anemia, mono, or meningitis (I AM a college student), have left me bedraggled. I need to get the energy to put on makeup EVERY day. Eeesh! Not my thing. Hopefully the two-facedness will pass soon, cause I'm too lazy to take the 5 minutes to slap on a one-face.

And I'd like to thank my sister for NOT telling me that I had become a two-face! I'd think I could count on her to tell me to go slap some paint on when I saw her on Sunday, even if it was mom's and the colors weren't right... Also, thanks be to my mom and sister-in-law as well for the oversight! This is not something a girl should find out on her own... as it leads to the question, "how long HAVE I been a two-face?" how embarrassing!!!

finally got it!

So, over the Summer, the water heater exploded. It drenched the Christmas tree, so I get to purchase a new one via the insurance! The kids and I decided we wanted a tinsel tree. We started with white, but then I saw a "champagne" colored on at Target. I fell in love. However, it was more than insurance would pay for. So, after looking at way too many stores, I tried the internet. Thanks to Al Gore, we now have a gold tinsel tree, a few cents under the price, with free shipping! This year we are getting purple decorations for our home town! Purple and Gold!!!! Go team!!! Next year will be black and gold, MIZZOU!! And, if the Chiefs improve, we can eventually make a red and gold tree. I'm SOOOOOO excited!! The tree gets here next Tuesday, so we have to pick up, make room, and rearrange so we'll be ready when it gets here!
