shutterfly christmas
our little al copone after his bath.
there's nothing i love more than free when it comes to things people are going to throw away.
like christmas cards.and christmas trees.
which is why our tree is again fake this year.
free.
free.
free.
and to get it,
all i had to do was have sean go down into our hoarding basement.
the tree that is.
so when katie told me about free christmas cards from shutterfly,
i was on it.
there were too many good ones to choose from, but i think i've decided that this one is my favorite.
so if you're lucky,
and i'm lucky too,
it will be arriving in your mail box less than 3 weeks from today.
because we all know how much i love pictures.
and this one lets me put lots of pictures.
plus, it has me singing that beautiful song in my mind.
"and it think to myself,
what a wonderful world."
because really, it is.
...
i also loved the words on this one.
bright and cheery.
this simplicity here.
and the print here.
and i know i have enough mugs to fill a coffee house,
but i can only imagine how wonderful it would be to see al capone's charming little face all over this beauty every morning.
i saw brooke's book last week and was green with envy.
saving up for one my own.
really, how is a girl supposed to choose???
i guess i'll have to if i get the FREE cards.
and you will too.
if you dare.
but you know, like i said earlier today,
if you don't try, you've already failed.
you can quote me on that.
the grinch is on my shoulder EXTRAVAGANZA!
CRAP!
it's december.
there's something like less than 25 shopping days left to shop.
i've shopped for 2 people.
you could call that about zero.
and now i have the cold of death.
have mercy.
i most definitely plan to procrastinate some more.
there is a little grinch on my shoulder.
be gone little grinch, BE GONE!
here's how:
to get rid of the little grinch:
6 lovely ladies
6 pretty presents
4 french fridays
and a partridge and a pear tree.
is that how the song goes?
all i know, is that
you win a PRIZE.
6 prizes.
yes, that's right.
A PRIZE.
6 prizes.
and my prize is from ROD WORKS my friends.
ROD WORKS.

angel
oh happy day:)while searching for the christmas tree and other such items,
i hope to find my camera charger.
in the basement that has made us hoarders.

baby octopus.
2 babies flying home during nap time.one plugged into movie and complimentary soda.
of which he ordered a coke.
the other so tired and hungry that not even food could satisfy her.
picture me holding a baby octopus.
we'll call her max.
me trying to cover boobs with a brightly colored apron,
baby octopus' arms and legs flailing out of the top and sides,
all the while the baby octupus is screaming at an obnoixiously loud level of volume.
in the middle seat.
with a teenager rolling her eyes at us across the aisle.
and that was in the first 20 minutes of the flight.
have mercy.
it's a good thing our vacation was good.
