Parade of Ornaments (part 3)

Three more ornaments today. A banana, rubber chicken and the Mexican flag. I know, I know. You wanna know how to be cool like me, right? Well don't bother. You gotta be born with my awesome.

Doctor, Who gave this to me?

I got to work this morning and found an envelope in my mailbox. This book was left for me. It just said it was for me but didn't say who it was from. Who left it? Was it an office mate? Was it another extended co-worker? Was it the Doctor? Such a mystery! The only thing I do know is it's freaking awesome!
So this was worthy of a day off in ornaments but don't worry, more ornaments tomorrow.

Update! Update! Mystery solved. This piece of Doctor Who brilliance was given to me by none other than the awesometacular Alex Beck. Thinking back on it, it makes sense. Who else would give me something like this?

Parade of Ornaments (part 2)

Yeah! More ornaments!

I've got three ornaments for you today. The first is Arthur. I love Arthur and now my kids are finally starting to understand all the Arthur love. So I'm happy to have Arthur and Pal on my tree. The second is a cute dead flying pig. I mean c'mon, right. A must have. The last is a brat. Being in the Midwest a brat is a must for....well, everything!

Parade of ornaments

Today was one of the most exciting days of the year. Today I put my Christmas tree up which means I got out my ornaments. I love my Christmas ornaments. Last year as I put up my tree I posted pictures of my ornaments on twitter. People seemed to really like it so this year I'm going to post a few pictures a day on this blog. I hope you guys like it.


So today I have three ornaments. The first is an owl. He's new to the tree this year but I absolutely love him. The second is Mr. Kick Butt Eagle. How can you not think he's awesome. The last is a glass of beer....I could really use one today. haha

Let me know what you think and check back in tomorrow for more ornaments.

And the Christmas season begins.

As a way of working off all the turkey I had on Thanksgiving, I put up the Christmas decorations outside on Friday. Today I'll do the tree and inside stuff. Ohhhh, this is going to be so much fun. I love my ornaments and I have tons of cool ones but don't worry, you'll be seeing them soon.

Turkey Day Recap

Just a couple pictures from my Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Thank you for stopping by and checking out my silly little blog. I appreciate and am thankful for each and every one of you. Have a great day and eat lots of turkey and pumpkin pie.

This pic, oh yeah, it's me kicking back watching football. Kids are playing nicely. Gonna eat soon. I love thanksgiving.

3.2, 16.4

Another week, six weeks I think, another weigh in. I'm damn proud of this week. I lost another 3.2 for a total of 16.4. This week I could really feel the difference. My pants are loose, I'm wearing shirts that didn't fit before and I went running last night. It's been a while since I hurt my knee and stopped running. Getting back out last night felt really good. So yeah, 16.4 lbs. I'm really happy with that, well actually without it.

Oh, hey guys!

You missed me? Awww, thanks. I missed you too. But that's ok, we're together again. I think we make a great team!

I'd move into this tasty house.

Olivia went with Karen for a fun Sunday of gingerbread house craziness with her daisy troop. There was Andes mint pavement, gummy Christmas trees, icing all over the place and penguins on parade. The house was a success and much fun was had. Good job Olivia Poppy, I love your house.
