I Will Survive!

Christmas is over. I am still on the planet. Yay! :p The holiday was a test of my integrity, trust me
The kids had a great time..Santa came for Christmas Dinner! ( pics to follow ).
I got an Ipod touch, a panini maker, cash, and a big, fat gift card to Starbucks...I'm a happy girl!
Hope Santa was good to you too!

You can do the math

• 1 dysfunctional family
• 1 funeral with former family ( as in removed by divorce )
• 1 case of half the family not speaking
• 1 Christmas coming up
• 1 brother who thinks he has to be the family UN appointee
• 1 SIL who thinks she can win you to her side by relating familial horror stories
• 1 full moon

add'em all together and what do you get?

don't ask, for the love of all things Holy, do not ask.

Hurry up and wait

So, today was another appointment with the Hsb.'s neurosurgeon; another 3 month wait, another MRI, and another visit. Hsb. walked out happy as a lark...I am on the fence. While I am aware that NO one wants brain surgery, I also don't want the Hsb. to become complacent. We shall see....


In other news, I am doing something that benifits all man kind: I am getting my hair done. I tried to wait it out, but it is making me nuts, and I am under it...I can't imagine how it makes other people feel. :z

Do you see what I see?

No matter how long I've been married, I never get tired of messing with my hsb. .. kinda like those stupid Messin' with Sasquatch commercials; there really isn't any point, it just makes me laugh.
Soo, the other night, the hsb. takes me out at out to our favorite restaurant for Mexican food..and more importantly, margaritas! We have our best, most enlightening chats, while out to dinner. This night we were discussing a guy with whom my hsb. works, and his choice in dating material.

Hsb.: she is sorta, kinda, ugly. Not elephant man ugly,...just blase' ugly.

Me: WTF? how can someone be blase' ugly? Give me your margarita, you're done.

Hsb. Look it up.

Me: pfft. She has no redeeming qualities? No hidden talents? *Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.*
She must have something going for her for D. to go out with her for this long.

Hsb. Ugh, gross

Me: HAHAHAA omg, you big baby. Alright, exactly what was it that attracted you to me?

Hsb.: You have beautiful eyes. Your intelligence. The list goes on and on.

Me: Cut the crap.

Hsb.: YOUR BOOBS!

Me: Bingo.

A few margaritas and the truth will out. :p

All that's missing is 'U'

*(caution, major familial rant)*
/rant/
I have decided to delete this post ( though I saved a copy...don't ask ). I deleted it because I have vented and reviewed; what is going on today is more important to me than this crap. IF it should happen again, I will not only reprint my rant, I will send a copy to my mom. Til then.....

Ho,Ho, Holy Sh**!

I just realized this is December 1st. Color me officially horrified and way behind in all things holiday related. ( among other things, pfft )
