Busy days ahead

I was doing so well there for a while, but then...

We got a new puppy!

She's a German Shepard, and is supposed to be our big scary watch dog so we don't get broken into any more!

Her big bad scary dog name is... Juliet.

"You brought WHAT home?!!!???!!!"

Pepper's not really pleased with this decision.

And then the holidays... and tree buying and gift buying, cookies baking and party planning.

Then to top all that off, I sliced off a small piece of my thumb on my brand new, really sharp mandolin slicer.

Ok now ask me WHY I bought a new mandolin slicer when I already had one, go ahead... ask...

"hey Lucky why did you buy a new one?"

Oh that's easy, this one had a cool safety handle or "hand guard", which I forgot to use because I am So used to not having one.

Now let me explain which part of my thumb I sliced off, put your hands on the keyboard, hit the space bar with your right thumb, the entire section that touched the keyboard, I sliced off...

Ouch.

I can be such a jerk...

So, as I mentioned, although you may have missed it, since it was lumped in with a pregnancy scare, my in laws broke the bank this time for us...

Keep in mind, the river is experiencing a slight drought from this, and when I say "river" I mean my bank account, when I say "drought" I mean... You know what I mean!

So last week I e-mailed hubby direct links to 4 things that I have been pining for. Four things to choose from to give me a Merry Christmas... Any one of those 4 things....
They included:
Down Comforter
Throw pillows
Curtains
Freezer
Two things you need to know, 1) I am a practical gifter; 2) I gave him exact color, size, qty etc in the list.

So Friday hubby texts and asks "How much money do we have in the account?"
Me "Not much, I need to pay bills"
Hubby "I need 100 dollars"
Me "For?"
Hubby "It's a surprise"

I am now thinking, that the family either going out to dinner, or possibly to the movies...
Against my better judgement, I succumb to his whim...

A couple hours later I get the surprise... A cell phone for me.

A Cell phone that I mentioned 64 yrs ago that I thought was cool, a cell phone that I don't need, a cell phone that now guarentees that I won't get any of the four things on my list.

I was SO PISSED, and a total jerk to him, I feel bad that I was so mean about it but geesh.

I off handly mention a cell phone is cool and I get it.
I give him a list of 4 things I want with specific links and nothing.

Update - I love my phone :-)

Christmas snob

Last night we had a PTA meeting, we are considering a fundraiser in which you sell gift cards and the school gets to keep 2%-15% (depending on the store)
We decided to try it, being it comes at NO COST to us... So I suggested that we announce it and explain it to the parents at the Christmas program, December 4th...

One woman thought it was too late to get a good Christmas sale...

TOO LATE, on December 4th...

She then announced that all, yea you heard me, ALL her christmas shopping is done AND wrapped!!!!

I am pretty sure she must be from outer space... I haven't even figured out what I am getting anyone yet!

What a snob...

We have a NO go for launch

It seems Mother Nature experienced flight delays... as her "gift" arrived today...

In laymans terms, we will NOT be expanding our family.

The end

For the record...

I am NOT convienced that any miracle had indeed taken place... Even though I believe in the motto, If it quacks like a duck and looks like a duck... I don't FEEL like a duck,

Wait, did that make any sense?

If it has, I am ok with that because I have learned that God definatly has a way better plan for me than I could EVER dream up... (not that I am always that accepting of his plan)

Can you even BELIEVE that Thanksgiving is next weekend?

Thanksgiving makes me sad... Why? Because I love to cook a HUGE meal and feed the mulitudes, but the multitudes only seems to include the 4 of us... I feel a little lonely on Thanksgiving. My memories of Thanksgiving usually includes adding card tables all through the house so that everyone can sit. Our Thanksgiving includes the removal of the table leaves to that we aren't too spread out.

Anyone wanna come over for Thanksgiving???? I'll do all the cooking and cleaning...

I have a secret...

And since most of you are don't actually know me in person...

Here goes...

I missed my period.

It's TWO weeks past due. My boobs are tender. I am sensitive to smells. I am peeing constantally.

BUT, no really, I mean BUT, I have FAILED 2 home pee sticks... they both said negative...

I'm gonna wait a couple weeks and try again... different brand.
