Christmas Catch-Up

This was my FAVORITE thing this past Christmas. I heard my team leader at work talking about it, and went straight home to make for Andrea's Christmas party. I bought pre-made sugar cookies. The ones at our grocery store (H.E.B.) are really good. melted milk chocolate. Dipped, drizzled, dunk the cookies in the chocolate. Use crushed up candy canes to sprinkle on top. DELICIOUS!!! And, so pretty. I have to give credit to P-Dub because he's the one that actually made them....


Christmas ornaments I made for my team at work.





I've been wanting a white tree with fun, super bright ornaments for a while. It's what I like to call my "Dr. Suess Tree". Well, I finally got it. It was sooooo freakin' cute and happy and fun. Can't wait to have a house with multiple trees!


Mo Mo joined our family a couple of months before Christmas, so I had to make him a stocking, too. He got black & white...because that's what he is. Look closely...P-Dub was real funny when he said I've gotten much better and writing names since the Christmas before. Poor Black Hawk and Apache's stockings look terrible!

Christmas flowers! Thank you, P-Dub!

I LOVE wrapping presents and getting creative with bows.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Last night there was a costume party (aka Halloween Party...but some people don't celebrate Halloween?...so hence just being called a costume party) for the Union stewards at work...I'm not a steward, and I only just became a memeber of the Union on my last day of work in June...and only became a memeber because there were a lot of "things" going on at work, and I didn't want to be easily fired...however, the party was at a good friend from work's house, so I got an invite...I think they just really needed an extra kid...the party was kicked off by us watching the little girls, including Gabby, do a project...the project was to get this guy from work into his costume...they did his make-up...he was such a good sport about it and it was hilarious!!! Then followed up by lots of Malibu on ice. I threw together a cat outfit, by the way, for the party...I'll have to post the pics...kind of funny. Tonight I will be out amongst all the other pa...

Am I Going To Die? I just got stung for the first time ever by a wasp . . . So far so good . . . I can still breathe, I haven't swelled up like a balloon, yet . . . But it hurts and itches like crazy!!! It's almost the end of the semester and I am completely swamped! Two projects, two papers, and three finals, all in the next 3 weeks . . . Somehow I'll handle it. I've actually all of sudden "woken up" where school is concerned. I've been in such a daze for like the last 7 or 8 months. The AOC has changed my life as I knew it . . . in good and bad ways!!! Bad because he takes up too much of my thoughts . . . and I need all the brain capacity that I can get!!! Somehow, after years of barely even talking to anyone at work, and only a couple of years of actually being a little more friendly with my co-workers, I seem to have been sucked up in "office politics" and I HATE it! I used to really like going to work . . . now I just want to quit!! It still...

Time to Share? I have a huge crush. I have a huge crush on a man I've never met in person. I have a huge crush on a man who does things that are very cool. Yesterday in the mail I got the book that he sent me...the book that he wrote...a book about all of his travels and adventures. The more I read this book, the less confident I start to feel about this being a possible "match". I have no idea what I can offer this older, more sophisticated, more worldly man. The biggest adventures in my life are grappling with 18-year old freshmen for a parking space at school, finishing a set of push-ups and pull-ups at the gym, or wrestling my daughter to the ground for a bath. Maybe I can teach him all about Sponge-Bob Square Pants? This is again one of those times where things seem too good to be true. The emails we send back and forth would suggest that there is a great interest and curiosity on both sides, and that something really good could possibly come from this!!! His ...
