Place your bets!!

Okay.
Friday is the day we find out what Fetus is.

Odds are in the favor of the ladies.
Who will be the victor?

Where does your money lay?

It's an upgrade!!

Christmas at the Dub house was a snowy success.
Santa came, ate some nutter butters and left.
The favorite gift of the day? Mabey received Mamma Mia from the big man.
He left it gift wrapped in her stocking. (or "stunking" for any Chadwicks reading)
She was so excited about it she was shaking and could not open it fast enough.
It's been 24 hours and we have watched it 4 times.
Diamond Girl received a vanity..which is where she sat for the majority of the day.
Roxie got a minnie mouse doll. She refers to it as Mee-Mau.

My favorite gift is my gift from Dub.
He got me an upgrade to my hairdryer which was my current hairdryer (an old travel dryer) with $20.00 wrapped around it.

Very Clever.

Edward cut his hair.

Honestly...I like it better.

What are your thoughts?

Today!!

Yesterday was Neil.

Greatest concert EVER!

We 4 girls went...and this would include a new Diamond Girl (as she will now be known) for her very first concert. How many 6 year olds can say their first concert was Neil Diamond?

She was stoked.

She scampered home from school, changed into her "I heart Neil" shirt and we were off to the train station to meet the other ladies.

I'm positive that Diamond Girl was the youngest Neil fan there. Everyone commented on her in her shirt as she skipped excitedly around the ESA, anxious for the concert to start.

There was a little bit of shock and awe for the first few songs. I don't think she knew what to expect. But once Neil busted out "Forever in Blue Jeans" she was into it.

She got to see the concert from the top of Eris' shoulders...best seat in the house if you ask me.

She really got groovin when they played "Sweet Caroline". But I think the highlight for her was "America". The Jazz Singer is one of her FAVORITE movies and she sang every word.

The ride home was trickeled with giggles--especially when we noticed that Diamond Girl had fallen asleep reading her concert program, complete with Neil pictures.

The perfect way to fall asleep is looking at Neil .

I'd like to thank the other Diamond Girls for letting me bring my own Diamond Girl with us on our traditional Neil Quest. She was a much better fourth than "she-who-will-not-be-named"

I am I said.

My favorite things

It's a little bit mean, but one of my favorite winter past times is sitting at my front room window to watch all the cars attempt to make it up the hill I live one.

For those of you who don't know...I live on a hill. The oddest thing about it is that in the winter, it is a bermuta triangle of sorts. Snow accumuliates here like no where else I have seen.
When it snows, many unaware motorists make the attempt to climb up this hill. When they start, they find they have no problem. Then they pass my house.
Many a car have tried and failed. Many have slid from side to side. Many have gotten stuck and had to back down the hill.

Tonight will be one of those nights.

I'd like to bare my testimony about the value of 4 wheel drive.

Love, Actually

I recently discovered, to my shock and amazment, that I do not own a copy of Love Acutally.
This really suprised me...considering it has every element of movie greatness in it. I mean really. What's not to love? Hugh Grant, Alan Rickman, Colin Firth....pretty much made for me...and the misses....(Eris..I wish you were here!!)
I have remedied this dilema today by purchasing it as a gift for myself whilst at the Blockbuster on Fairfield.
I thought I would share this bit with you before I jump into bed and watch it. I may even eat popcorn. I don't care if I get crumbs in the bed.

I got a lot of problems with you people!

Well...I guess not offically.
Most of my grievances have to do with the stupidity of society...mostly with people I run into at work.
1. when a coupon says "one per transaction. not good with other coupons" It means it. NO I will not do it this once for you. I like my job and I couldn't care less if you "earned" those coupons or not. If I am already giving you BOGO and 20% off, you should be thanking me, not b*tching me out for not using another $5.00 coupon with it.
2. Control your children. If I have to clean up one more smear of leather lube off my benches, I will beat your kids myself.
3. Quit asking me for peds. They are on every other bin top. Open your hugging eyes and look for yourself. Or better yet..bring your own fonging socks.
4. Pick up after yourselves. To those women who deem it necessary to try on 35 pair of shoes, spread garbage and boxes across my floors, benches and bins and then buy one pair of clearance shoes without so much as a "sorry for the mess"--I wish you anal warts.
5. When I tell you to hang on to your receipt because you will need it to track your shoes you have just had sent to you...and give you explicit instructions on how to track said order...I mean it. I don't have access to any of that crap. I'm sorry if you weren't listening. I can't do a hugging thing about that. Call customer service. Or better yet......KEEP YOUR RECEIPT!!

Why is it that out of hundreds of perfectly sweet and enjoyable customers it's the 2 grouchy ones that ruin the whole day? A pox on them.

Festivus is not over until you pin me!
