So.freakin.cold

Is it possible that maybe I stepped outside into the artic circle??? BRRR! It's not even really windy, just freakin' cold! The kind of cold that goes right into your bones and chills you to the core. I walked across our parking lot at work today to grab something to eat and OMG! It took me about an hour to get the chill out when I got back. I love winter and all, but really. When the roads freeze and become ice out of nothing, you know it's cold....

Last night we had one of our "Fireside Chats" for work...but they got clever and labeled it the "End of the year Celebration"...probably to get more people to come, lol. It wasn't too bad...and I even won a 50$ giftcard, yay! But I was at work from before 8am, and didn't get home until after 8pm...I don't like not seeing my family for that long. Boo.

Well....Candyland is waiting for me....

Darn you Ebay!

Oh Ebay.
Why must you tempt me with your merchandise?
You make me buy things because they're cheap and ending soon....that I feel that I *must* sit here and keep hitting refresh so I can swoop on in in the last seconds and outbid someone. HA! ::insert evil laugh:: I'll bid on something cheap, that I don't really need, but heaven forbid someone outbids me....then I HAVE to have the item, no matter the cost.
I've won over half a dozen things as of last night, and there's another half a dozen that I'm watching in the next few hours...that I *will* win! :)

SANTA!

We went to see Santa at the mall, and Livi did awesome! We actually had the opposite problem this year...she didn't want to leave, lol. It was great, and Livi got to tell him all about Barbie and the Diamond Castle that she wants :)

And for comparison sakes...

Ok so I suck

I suck at keeping surprises.

I ordered Mike a XBox 360 and 4 games online on Black Friday and I thought I was doing good at not saying anything. The games were delivered last week, and the XBox itself came yesterday by my fav people to see - UPS. :) So I wrapped them up last night so there would be no peaking, but guess who cracked this morning....::sigh:: Yeah, he's playing it now. Argh! Now if I can only keep Livi's gifts a surprise.....

Livi the Ballerina!

So Livi started Ballet/Tap classes yesterday at Margueritte's. She was SO.EXCITED! She had on her little black leotard and pink tights and walked into a room full of 3 year old girls wearing the same thing! She did SO well standing in line, and walking into the classroom without us. She said she had a wonderful time and I'm hoping that it continues. :) Here's our little Princess....

In other news, we're doing a serious countdown to vaca time! We're leaving on the 20th so we have one more weekend to get through before we leave! WOW! I went and got my hair done this past week (now a RED head!) and I started tanning. I only went twice so far, and I'm fried. Like beat red thighs and belly, throbbing constantly. ::sigh:: oh well it's for the greater good right? I know I can't lose 60 pounds in the next two weeks, but maybe I can get some color on my skin!

Bohdi got into the garbage last night. All.over.the.kitchen. ARGH! Then, just to make his point known, he threw up several times throughout the garbage mess as well. Niiccceee.

Last Tuesday (closed Monday for Labor Day) was Livis' first official day of Preschool! YAY! Of course really nothing changed since she was in the program from January through June of this year, but this time it was "official". I can't believe how fast she's growing up! She's such a smart little girl too, it's amazing :heart:
