Christmas Time! :) (Lots of Pictures)

I got to see Bizzy not one, but TWO nights in a row. YEE HAW! That’s always good and fun! Last night, she and Craig both came over and we watched A Christmas Story, ate good food, ate Jello cake, and just hung out and had a good time. We’d planned on putting up the tree but never got around to it.

Chris called me today at work and said that he’d put up the tree and put on the lights and the beads. It was up to me to finish up. Bizzy had mentioned she wanted to help me decorate so I called her and asked her to come over. She did! We ate spaghetti, watched Mickey’s Magical Christmas, sang Christmas songs (YEAH for Harry Connick Jr!) and decorated the tree. In the meantime, Aidan was being absolutely darling. He woke up from his nap in a great mood and has been generally incredible all evening (he’s still being very cute and good-natured).

You should have seen him decorating the tree and then saying “My Christmas Tree!!” Lookee!


Yes, he is pantless. *sigh*

The fireplace


Entertainment Center


The Almighty Banana


The TREE!! πŸ˜€

I have hit a 2nd wind, it seems. I probably should not have taken that cat nap this afternoon, but I couldn’t resist! And I woke up to Aidan touching my cheek–how wonderful is that? I’m going to be tired, though. It’s already nearly one and I haven’t had my shower yet. I should get off of here soon. BUT here are a couple more pictures first:



Aidan and Bizzy. Too cool for you.


Aidan and Santa!!!! <3


My Jello Cake. Mmmmm.


Bizzy approving of the Jello Cake. Yeah!

Guess what? THE HOUSE IS CLEAN!!! πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€

Okay, it’s time I go to bed. Good night. πŸ™‚

You guys HAVE to see this (don’t tell Chris): CLICK | 15 megabyte download | BAHAHAH!!!!

Aidan’s been sick the past few days, but I just did that video and I think he’s doing just fine now, hmm?

I might have been listening to Christmas music already… don’t JUDGE!

So, I went to get money out of the ATM yesterday and got a HUGE error. I knew I’d just gotten paid, so I was curious as to what the deal was. Turned out the credit union had cancelled my card because someone was trying to spend $300 at Walmart on November 10th. I wasn’t in Walmart that day or anytime around that day. So WTF?

That’s scary shit, but I’m so glad the card was cancelled. πŸ™‚ But now I have to wait on my new one, and I’ve been using a credit card in the meantime. So I’ll be paying it off as I go, because debt sucks.

I got Aidan some more presents today:

Little People Deluxe Christmas Story
Little People Lil’ Shepherds
Little People Families in Your Neighborhood

Sunday, I got him a little Blue Jackets hockey stick and some Finding Nemo pajamas.

I have every intention of opening the Little People Christmas stuff before Christmas. I mean, hello!! πŸ™‚

And… here is my workspace at home. Where it all happens (if I’m not at my laptop, that is). Check it out, and do you see the Ampersand? Yeah, totally cool, right?

Magical Night of Giving was so neat! I got my Christmas shopping started YAY!!!!! I was listening to Christmas music in my car, and yes, I’m in the spirit. A little bit early, but not by much. πŸ™‚ They stamped my hand and I got all sorts of discounts in loads of stores. Hallmark had a special–buy one roll of regular wrapping paper ($4.99) get a mega roll free. Kaufmann’s had a spend $50 and get a $10 gift card for free. Everywhere had a “spend this and get that” or at least 10% off everything in the store. Free makeovers and hand massages in Sak’s, door prizes. I didn’t see the WNCI guys there, though. πŸ™ Maybe they were at the other mall. Oh well, I had fun anyway.

First highlight of the evening the wrapping paper light saber fight that Kristen and I had:

Then, we tried on dresses.

Here is me and Nikki, matching!

Here is the dress I FELL IN LOVE with. I wanted to buy it so badly, but I don’t have anywhere to go in it, and spending $150 on a dress just because it’s pretty is just not practical!!! But anyway, here I am:


My Mid-Summer Night’s Dream Dress

I had a good time tonight. πŸ™‚ It’s always great to hang out with a fun bunch of gals. πŸ˜€ I can’t wait for our fondue night. πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€

G’night!!!

Woo Hoo for Saturday! (Pictures)

Check THIS out:

OH YEAH. I got to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire today!!!!! YAY for brother-in-laws who call radio stations and win screening passes, woohoo. My favorite quote from the move:

Crouch: The Chinese Fireball. Oooooo.

I’m definitely NOT going to give away any spoilers, but I do want to say that the guy who played Cedric Diggory… mm-hmm. HOT. The movie was good, definitely a LOT darker than previous versions. A lot was cut from the book–most of it I was glad about. Ha. I enjoyed it, and sat there thinking “I can’t even believe I’m sitting here watching this already!” And let me say that Ron’s first line in the film is hilarious, and there are some great dialogue exchanges that had me laughing out loud. GO SEE IT. Well, on Friday, like the rest of the little people (TOTALLY KIDDING!). It’s good stuff.

And look what else is happening to our house. Yes, this is our house/yard. OH DEAR.

YESSSS! It’s that time of year again and I am excited. I bought a Harry Potter ornament for the tree, and exactly ONE Christmas present so far. I’m going to start shopping tomorrow night during the Magical Night of Giving (Link) at Polaris Fashion Place. That should be really excting and fun. Yay! Also, Santa makes his debut, so hopefully I can get a picture of/with him.

Can you believe it? I am sick again. Nothing like before–but my throat’s been bothering me the past few days and I’m stuffy. πŸ™ So yeah, I’m glad it’s the weekend.

And… I know some of you keep telling me not to, but sometimes, I really AM tempted to give up a certain HUGE dream of mine. But we’ll see. This will probably pass again.

Hmm. I guess that’s all for now. Ack. It’s only 5:45ish and it’s already getting dark out. πŸ™ I miss the long days.

Later!

P.S. The Buckeyes kicked BOOTAY today!!!!

EDIT 7:01pm

The Christmas Lights are up. Yes, insanely early, but hey, in Ohio, we must take advantage of the nice weather! πŸ™‚
