yesterday, december 13

we had christmas early and opened the gift for me and hubby: diamond edition scrabble! so we played scrabble and i actually won! (i hardly ever win!) i got really lucky...right at the end, x on a triple letter, ended up with 50 whopping points for one word.

we went to the sunflower farmers market and spent way too much money, but got really yummy food. we had italian dry salami, brie, and gouda on bruschetta as an appetizer, then thick yummy steaks and sauteed portobello mushrooms for dinner, with martinelli's apple-cranberry sparkling cider to drink. um, yeah, YUM! i even broke out the fine china, placemats, and chargers and we ate by candlelight/christmas light.

my check was $40 more than we thought, which is why we spent so much $$$ at the farmers market.

i downloaded the entire twilight soundtrack plus a bunch of other fun songs (including a whole slew of taylor swift) and put them on my phone. i got a new ringtone, too, of my new favorite song.

in downloading the twilight soundtrack, i discovered a band called paramore that i adore.

i also decided i absolutely have to learn how to play "bella's lullaby" on the piano.

and i downloaded clair de lune which i love. then layed in bed and played it over and over again for about 20 minutes and relaxed.

it's the mooooorning of a mooooonday

i had yummy turkey soup today.
the baby woke up and was in a good mood (which is great because he's been so cranky for the last two days.)
i got new christmas socks from my mother in law yesterday and they are soft and warm.
i drank apple beer. yum.
i'm drinking pepsi. yum again.
we have a new tree topper. it's a star that lights up. i think it is pretty.
the baby is taking a nap.
christmas is coming...christmas is coming...christmas is coming!

return from the blogging dead

i'm not slacking anymore and posting! (sorry kaitlyn!)
we went to a christmas tree display and had fun fun fun.
our christmas party was freaking awesome.
we went christmas shopping for little buddy today. got some cute stuff and a fun thing for us! then got to come home and wrap them. i LOVE LOVE LOVE wrapping presents.
hubby had the day off today, and tomorrow!
looking forward to tomorrow--we're going to this awesome science display, then up to the in-laws to decorate their tree.
i'm chillaxin' tonight, blogging, and elf-ing myself.

another successful day

today i went to see twilight with kaitlyn.e, who drove allllll the way to my house to get me. hubby was such a doll and watched little buddy so i could go. although the movie wasn't that great, i did laugh through it, and it was good to see her!

i got my house all decorated for christmas minus the tree. we're doing that tomorrow. and can i say, it is fabulous. i have garlands this year, which makes me happy. i'm excited to get the tree up. :)

went to the store with hubby. he bought me coke. yum. and let me walk up and down the christmas aisle...again. (i can't help it, i'm drawn to it.)

got my laundry folded and my house somewhat clean.

FINALLY saw the end of "along came polly." i have never seen that movie all the way through, but have seen most of it in pieces. a few times. so it was good to finally see how it ended.

sitting around in my pjs

i got my christmas cards finished today!

it is tuesday, which means only one work day left this week. hallelujia!

i found $8 by my car door in the parking lot today. that bought dinner at wendy's. yum.

we went to toys r us and looked at toys for little buddy for christmas. he really loves things that vibrate--we found this cute little monster that vibrates when you hit it and says something really cute about a rumbly in his tummy or something but i can't remember. little buddy giggled like crazy when he was holding it--so cute! too bad it was ages 2 and up. but we found a cute vibrating ball in the shape of an animal at wal-mart that is (the giggle and wiggle cow/pig/chicken). so cute. that's a definite gift.

i'm really looking forward to all of the fun stuff during the next couple of weeks!

only one month until christmas!

little buddy learned to climb stairs today.

last saturday before thanksgiving...

i got my christmas lights up today--thanks to my hubby! because he helped, we got it done 3x faster than if i'd done it alone. (i had been planning on doing it while he was at work.)

we also went grocery shopping at wal-mart, and i got three new houses and a bunch of new little people for my christmas village. ($1 per house, and .50 per figurine!)

i slept in today. yay!

i'm listening to the byu/u of u game (aka the holy war) and byu just scored a touchdown. yay! now let's hope the y wins...

thanksgiving is coming up so soon! i'm looking forward to yummy food...yummy food...and yummy food.

i'm relaxxxxxing.....contented sigh. :)
