snot

That is so weird you mentioned Caboodles. This girl at my work still uses this little caboodle and has all her make up in it. She brings it to work every day. She opens the lid and two little trays slide to the side. its pretty cool. I loved mine when i was little. It was pink and purple - which i think they all were - and i had random little girl things in it: hair ties, make up, jewlrey.. good stuff.
On another note, I am sick now, with a sinus infection and ear infection mainly. i was asking the Dr. why little kids get ear infections and adults don't that much. I guess their little ear drums or something are horizontal, and as we get older they become vertical. so the fluid can drain. there is this little area in the ear that acts as a place to hold extra fluid or air - like when we go on a plane or under water, the air builds up in that little space. but we need to get the air or fluid out of it. i guess my sinuses are SO full of snot and they are inflamed and pushing against my ears, so the snot can't get out.. and now they are infected. nice.
As i am writing this i am breathing out of my mouth because my nose has been stuffed up for days. joy.

Random thoughts....

So I've been thinking about it after Nici sent out that e-mail about wine being better than water.....Don't you think it's weird that you can't MAKE water...so the water we drink and use for ice, and use in cooking, etc....is recycled?!?!? So we have no clue where it's been, but it's been places.....makes me want to throw up a bit.

Second thing I was remembering was Caboodles. Did you girls ever have one...I actually think they still make them but they are modern now a days. I had one that was bright pink and purple and I held all my "junk" in there. Those were great.

Lastly, just wanted to pass along another yummy treat I found. So I like Chai Lattes and at a coffee shop they're so expensive...so I was at the store and I bought this little General Foods International Chai Latte mix. You mix it with water or milk (obviously based on my first comment I use the latter) and it is really yummy. The little can was under $4.00 which seems like a lot but when you go and buy a cup its $3.00 it's really not that much. If you like chai try this out!!!

trouble

i just had to add.. we were talking about games at work the other day and i had to brag about our pictionary skills.. and then i was showing the girls the "butt plug" picture and we made the picture this one girls wall paper on her computer.. yeah.. one of the STaffing Supervisors didnt like that so much and she gave me a very dirty look and said to get it off the computer immediately! we all giggled about it later because that lady has a stick up her butt. everyone else thought it was hilarious!

A little taste of heaven

So ladies- not sure if you know, but one of the best ice creams (store bought) is Blue Bunny Bunny Tracks, but I've found one that matches up to it, and well...tastes a little bit like heaven...now this is only for the "coffee lovers" out there...but get this...coffee flavored ice cream wrapped around white chocolate cremes, mocha espreso brownies(yum!) and chocolate fudge swirl....that's right, you know you want it...go out and get it, or stop by...I think I'll have it in stock from here on out! Peace!

Men DO suck at Pictionary

I am being forced to post this blog... my husband wants to justify that he actually does know what a "trivot" is and was just confused during the actual game.. I think it was Colleen who made fun of him.. rightfully so. :)
In memory of the event, we used the trivot to hold our hot plate of green beans tonight.

"...Colleen.. THIS is a trivot.."

BunKo Hussies in the Spangla' Hiz'oww'ss!

Really? I think Jill is a "butt woman" - I mean seriously... Good times had by all...

Am I doing it?!

Holy crap, am I actually posting a comment? This may be my proudest moment. Nici, rockin' Bunko! Your house is crazy-beautiful and that was some goooood food. You guys are total pervs, but whatev. Colleen, the New Year's pics were fun. Thanks so much for posting that last pic. Nici and I look especially hot. And how crappy does my basement look on film? Yuck! Looked much cozier that night in person via the lamps (mood-lighting) and fire hazard Pottery Barn votives that almost caused a damn three-alarm fire. Good times.

Curtains!!!

"Jill sucks," GIRLS RULE! Way to go ladies. Showin' the boyz up makes them appreciate us even more! Happy New Year!

heeelllooo 2007

It sounds like Nici is a bit of a Bah Humbug. :)
The holidays were great! I am sad xmas music isn't on the radio anymore!
I can't wait for Bunko next Monday.. actually in a week. and New Years shall be grand. I need to get my xmas photos uploaded and then I will share.
What was everyone's favorite gift? I got myself a DVD Recorder.. have been taping shows, I will be transfering our home movies onto DVDs .. its grand!
I also got some gift cards - which are the gift that keeps on giving. speaking of that. my mom got my dad some jelly, and said she got him a year membership to the jelly of the month club. now THAT is the gift that keeps on giving. it was hilarious.

Is it 2007 yet??

First of all, I can't believe Christmas was here then gone, like that! In a blink of an eye! Now I just want to take down all of the decor and move into the new year. Did everyone have a nice holiday? I hope you all got exactly what you wanted. Lots of friends, family and food....blah....I am sick of big dinners and candy, sweets, and cookies! We had salad for dinner last night because we were both CRAVING healthy food. That was scary!
**Don't forget next Monday night - January 8th, Bunko at my place, ladies. It will be IMPOSSIBLE for me to measure up to Jami's fantabulous hosting skills last month, so I won't even try! Yep, she's got skills...
Word to all of your mothers. Peace out.

Why is it so funny when people fall down? This will always make me laugh. That along with the words boobies, fart, toot, doody etc.. Anyone else have any good words.. that no matter how old we get... they are funny. And they are usually the words we are trying to stop little kids from saying.

Purse Snatching

As soon as the holidays roll around you suddenly hear on the news to be looking out for purse snatchers and people mugging you the mall parking lots.. Has anyone ever seen this? I always think about it as I am shopping... wondering what to do. Do I hide my bags under my coat? Do I run like a mad woman to my car? Should I buy mase? I am always looking for lurkers in the parking lot. I also wonder what people find in those bags when they steal them. I wonder what they think when the bags are filled with something stupid, like ladies underwear and nylons.. or something dumb like that.

Merry Christmas!

Just little ol me wishing all of you a Merry Christmas!http://www.elfyourself.com/?userid=ba39caedb331fd74c2bc74bG06122008

Bunco

It's Bunco Night! Wohoo! Just wanted to see if you would care to join me at a Pants Party? Great! Wohoo!

Can you believe it's December?!?!

O.K. I know you all are busy, but come on...no posts since Thanksgiving? What's up with that? Even the guy who doesn't think says something.

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a really nice thanksgiving this year. The weather was so wonderful that we did thanksgiving at the lake.. and ate outside on the deck! It was beautiful and the food was great. But i have decided that next year I am signing up to be a boy for thanksgiving.. then I too can sit on the couch all day and watch tv while the girls cook and clean up after.
Is this just my household? Just my brothers, dad, and husband? Anywoo, hope everyone had a great day and I am thankful for all of you.

Free Stuff

This is another blog that some of my friends love. www.momadvice.com/blog
She not only writes a blog...but there is this thing called Freebie Friday! She tells you all these ways to get free samples and other free stuff. I got on and signed up for all these free samples, and printed off free coupons for UPS (very handy for the holidays with Jim's dad in Seattle).
Anywoo, just thought I would pass it on. Cool stuff. Free stuff is better than not free stuff.

What is everyone doing for Turkey Day? Can you believe its already next week. I feel like this year has flown by.. being back at work has really made the time go even faster.

Oh yeah! Kate took about 6 steps last night! She did it about 10 times.. between Jim and I, from her walker to me.. etc. It is super cute. Jim was so proud I thought he was going to cry.
Good times.

Narcolepsy
