Wow. Christmas was amazing. The ham turned out delicious…as did my mother’s broccoli, cheese and rice casserole. I am so stuffed. Howard and I probably spent a good portion of the day wondering about the contents of our stockings. A wonderful day. Howard got everything he wanted including an iPod. My mom got a DS lite along with her Brain Age game. I really loved today…especially since I heard Howard say that it was the best Christmas ever.

So back to catch up…. I added a few photos from Thanksgiving and the snow day we had here in Houston.

Well, I really had no idea I was going to get a laptop. I believe husband did an awesome job. I always wanted one since I saw this one commercial thing on Nickelodeon. See this girl was updating on her giant IBM laptop while traveling around during summer vacation. It’s such an old commercial for a show that you probably don’t know what I am talking about. Anyway, like I said…I’ve always wanted one and now I am the owner of a super pretty laptop. This is amazing.

I am happy.

Howard:

I would say, how everyone wants to play nice. Meaning that just because it’s the “holidays” that you should extend a helping hand, donate to a charity, or feed the homeless. Wake up! This needs to be done all year ’round. Like after Christmas all the planets aligned, and the problems of the world cease to exist? People still need help, if that be your intentions. It’s the same mindset of the people that are only religious on Sundays, and soon as you leave church it’s off to robbing banks and snatching purses.

I know, waiting for a book to come out isn’t really my thing … in fact, I didn’t even know people actually waited for books to come out. Many moons ago a journey to the bookstore brought me across this little bible. Not really, but a 600 page book to someone with a 5th grade reading level … maybe. Anyways, YES, I did judge this book by it’s cover. Why? Well, you can’t tell from the picture, but it’s red & shiny. Can’t go wrong there. As I am skimming through it (which means flipping the pages really fast and saying “hmm” and “oohh”) turns out it involves computers, and hacking, and other nerdy type things I was into a long time ago. So I buy it, and read 1/2 of it in 1 day. A personal record for me. I put it down for awhile, and weirdly come back to it (which is how I read most books), and re-fall in love with it. I get to the end and discover there’s a 2nd book, a sequel of awesomeness. Buy it. Read it, again, in record time. Got to the end, OMG, there’s a 3rd part, but guess what …

What!? What happened …

This entry is rather late, because … well you can figure it out. We took Marla and little baby Sookie to the pumpkin patch, the same one we’ve been going to for 3 years, although I think we skipped a year, not sure I’ll need to ask the wife. Anyways, it’s really fun for the family especially the dogs because they’re not really grasping the concept, but hey they’re dogs. Every year it’s a little different, and by that I mean upgrades. This year they have them sorted by size & shaped with signs. I think one year we should donate some wagons though, because that’s always my little side mission. And the wagons I do see are usually full, but unaccompanied so I feel a little hesitant to snag it for myself, but this fiesta is hosted at a church so I’m not sure a public hanging would be in order for my crime.

See the pictures …
