Ruined Night

After tucking my little boy into bed, I sat down on the couch to watch all my guilty pleasures that I tivo. First up, Ellen DeGeneres. Love that show! Ok, so I press play and viola, it's the obnoxious guy from channel 8 news standing out in the snow. So, I fast forward some more and still the guy from channel 8 news!! He is telling me it's breaking news. Um stupid, it's not really breaking news. It's been snowing all day and I don't think anyone needed you to help them figure that one out. (if u did, my apologizes, you're a moron.) Plus, the news is on at 4, 5, 6, 10 and 11. Did you really need to interrupt my Ellen show at 3, to tell me it's snowing outside? Did you really need to take the whole hour to tell me it's snowing outside?? See why I hate the snow!! Ok, so whatever, on to my next show. Secret Millionaire. I press play and viola, it's the news guy from channel 5. Wonderful. I fast forward a little and the little pesky guy goes away! YES!!! But wait, that's not Secret Millionaire playing, that's a COPS episode from 1987. What the?? I notice some words scrolling across the bottom telling me that because of the snow storm, they can't broadcast regular programming. Again, what the? I have heard of bad weather causing the cable to go out, but I have never heard of bad weather causing 1987 reruns to take over the TV. I am so irritated. It's crap like this that causes me to fall off the weight watchers wagon. Now, I just want to eat a bag of goldfish crackers and watch Roseanne reruns.

Snow Day

Don't wipe your eyes, you read that right. Snow Day in Vegas people. Now, I am not one of those sweet loving people who is going ga-ga for the snow. It's annoying and it's freezing. I will admit, it is pretty to look at, especially since it's Christmas time. But it was pretty two days ago, now it's just annoying. The school district here might declare tomorrow a snow day. Really? I want to call them and tell them that people back east are pointing and laughing at us. For them to declare a snow day, it takes inches and inches of snow, for us, we see four snowflakes and the whole city shuts down. It's probably because people in Vegas can't drive in the snow. Seriously. We have a hard time functioning when it's raining, you think we can drive with big white chunks flying at our cars? I am not saying I know how to drive in it, I am right there with all the other snow-morons. I did however manage to drive to Michaels. Want to know what Captain Obvious (annoying employee) said when I walked in covered in snow, she said, "Is it snowing out there?" No no sweetheart, I am just trying out white hair to see what I will look like in 30 years.

p.s. please don't email me about wanting to buy the sweet Hyundai that's in the picture, it's my dad's and I don't think he would part with his hubcaps.

Funk

No I am not dead. I just have a sick hubster and a sick little boy. On top of the Hubster not feeling good, he has been crazy busy with work. So I have very little time to get on the computer. I used to get on during nap time, but since little boy hasn't been feeling good, the naps are shorter. If I get on the computer while he is awake, it looks like a tornado ripped through our office. On top of the sickies in my house, I haven't had too much to say lately. I would usually just throw the local Michaels store under the bus, but, I haven't been in there in awhile!! (and by awhile I mean like 5 days) However, I will be going to Michaels tomorrow, so you can bet your brand new victoria secret underwear that I will have a good story for you.

Bad Santa

Took little boy to see Santa today, you would have thought I took him too the dentist. He FREAKED out. He was arching out of Santa's arm. The poor Santa guy, he was giving me the "get this kid out of my hands before I throw him where I threw all the other crying little brats," look. Why don't I have a picture of him screaming? Because the photographer lady at the Meadows Mall sucks. (yes mom, I said SUCKS!!) How come every other mom in America gets proof of the torture she put her kid through, but I get jipped? Have no fear though. I am going to another mall tomorrow. I know what you're thinking, I am an awful mom. When really I am thinking ahead. If we have another child and I get a picture of him/her/it crying on Santa's lap, then I will forever have to listen to Little Boy wonder where his picture with Santa is. Therefore, look out Santa at Fashion Show Mall, here we come.

p.s. if you don't want candy canes stuck in your fake $5 beard, don't give them to the kids BEFORE they sit on your lap. Just a thought.

Happy Holidays!

You're Welcome

The video below is our gift to you.

Notice Hubster's face, it's priceless.

Maybe after seeing that video he will STOP making goofy faces when I am trying to take a picture of him.

Favorite Things

One of my favorite blogs, Thrifty Decor Chick, is having a Favorite Things post for Christmas. So, I thought I would play along and list some things that are my favorites this season.

Britney Spears
She is my favorite ever.

Did you see her special last night? We all have our opions, but none of us know what it's like to live out our worst nightmares in the public eye.

Anyways, I love her and I smell a comeback!

Making Memories Slice
This is my latest love! It's up their on the list of best craft tools.
Jell-O Sugar Free Pudding
Just crumble a little low fat graham cracker in there and you have heaven. And it's only 1 point on weight watchers.
The new Christmas vinyl from Cricut
Grande Nonfat Sugar Free Vanilla Lattes

Homemade Christmas Ornaments!

Pictures of Little Boy

Look What Mama Made

Impressed?? You should be!! I am in love!

p.s. I am even more in love because Michael's had their Cricut Cartridges on sale for $30 and I got 5!!!

Really?

This was almost me today. I almost got up and went to Kohl's. I am lying. I did get up and go to Kohl's, but I didn't go in. Heck no, sure didn't. I pulled up to the parking lot and noticed that all the spots within 2 miles of the store were taken, so I decided I better not go in, for little boys sake of course. Anytime we are in big crowds he feels the need to sing and dance, and I didn't know how to explain to him that these people didn't want a show, they wanted a deal. So instead, we went over to Einstein Bagels, again, crazy crowds. Must have been giving out free cream cheese with every onion bagel purchased. So naturally, we skipped breakfast too. What a day!! People are nuts for sure. I ended up at Michael's, (big shocker) and there were only a few women in there, but they were running around grabbing stuff like they were competing on Super Market Sweep. (stop it, you know you remember that game show) I wanted to grab one of them by the arm and tell them to knock it off, they were making little boy sick. It wasn't like Michael's was going to run out of anything. I was buying Cricut Cartridges for $30 and every time I would grab one and put it in my cart, some crazy employee would pop up out of nowhere and replace it. Ladies they had plenty! Anyways!! To all you Black Friday Whack Jobs, I hope you got the all the deals you were looking for without ending up in the E.R.

Thankful

Hubster got an amazing text on Thanksgiving that I thought I would share:

Just think, that if the Indians and Pilgrims would have feasted on a donkey, then on thanksgiving, instead of having turkey, we would all be having a piece of ass!!

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!
