~Christmas 2009~

WOW, it's over already?!! I am not sure why, but I did not take very many pictures this year. But here are some from Christmas morning...........

My angels in front of the tree with their stockings
Showing a little brotherly love!!
Me and my surprise gift from my mother in law (I have been wanting,drooling, coveting one these for a LONG time!!, now I have one!)
and then I think Gunner and Drake's face sums it all up....(they were pretty excited!)

and I didn't have a picture of Mark, so here is one from vacation :D

Good Christmas.....only 363 more shopping days until we can do it again!

Holy Camo!!!

Look what I now have in my house!!!!!! It is REALLY comfortable though! (they have a couch and loveseat to match :D)

Best Christmas Movie......EVER!!!!!

"Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here. We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fucking Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse. "

Back to Realty...

Vacation is over.....Why do they go by so darn fast? Had a great time, sorry it was Vegas, can't talk about it :D...We did have a good time, I did/do have blisters on my feet. Time to start planning the next vacation, this time, I see sandy beaches, sunny skies and cabana boys (Yes, I will get that if I keep dreaming and hoping!!)

Since Vacation is over and it IS time to get back to reality, I guess I better start thinking about christmas. I have a general idea of my christmas dinner menu, but need to fine tune it and then shop for it (and of course then cook it and clean it up). My poor, sad christmas tree is pathetically empty. I guess I better get my butt of the puter and think about getting dressed so I can go christmas shopping. Silly me, I have to go to the mall now, it is almost too late to do my normal online shopping, OY!!!!!

Happy 20th Anniversary....

Again, I am not here actually posting and again, I can only assume (hope) that we are still enjoying our "alone" time. Yes, we are still in Vegas and having a great time......
Today is Mark and I's 20th wedding anniversary. I honestly do not know where the last 20 years have gone. As always, with anything in life, there has been good, bad and ugly. When we met and got engaged, we were both young and had not dated very long. Looking back, it seems like the odds were stacked against us, but here we are. There has been alot that has happened in the those years and other than just staying together, thru the good the bad and the ugly, we have 2 wonderful boys. I think they are the greatest joy! Don't want to get too sentimental, can't tell you what our plans are for evening (maybe will tell you all about them when I get back, or maybe not) I wanted to post a wedding pic from that long ago day, maybe I will when I get back.....

ahhhhhhhhhh....

Sitting at Paris Hotel drinking 2 for 1 martinis (feeling no pain) playing with Marks blackberry. Did I mention feeling no pain? Just finished my last martini ( don't judge it is after noon) headed to a magic/comic show and then Mystere (cirque de whatever) show tonight. Having a ball!!! Sorry no pics allowed, this is vegas!!! BtW I have blsters on my feet from walking...SERIOUSLY!!

Vacation Update....

I am not here, I am just a figment of your imagination. We are still on vacation, alone, just the 2 of us and I am sure we are having a GREAT time! Today we have a tour of the Grand Canyon. Our original plane was to rent a car, drive to the Grand Canyon, spend the night and drive back. For various reasons, we went to plan B (ALWAYS need a plan B). We kinda splurged and are taking an airplane from Vegas to the Canyon, flying over Hoover Dam and some other sights. We will have a ground tour at the Canyon and then fly back to Vegas, at dusk. We are probably taking lots of pictures and having some good "alone" time. Will post actual pictures upon our return.....Having a ball wish you were here! HEHEHEHE

We Interrupt this Christmas Season.....

Because this poster is going on VACATION!!!! Mark and I are leaving (0h about now)on a jet plane for Vegas!!! We will have 6 days of peace, quiet, sin city and each other - OH NO!!- The kids are staying home with Grandma Harrison and we will be all alone. Did I mention alone, just the 2 of us?! :D We will arrive in Sin City about oh beer thirty, just shy of Happy Hour and after a snack, we are off to see Ron White, can't wait. Please don't wake us up on Sunday morning, did I mention it is just the 2 of us? :)...............

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow....

I know this is just wrong, but, hey, what can I say??? I have a twisted sense of humor!

Santa Funny..........

Needed a good chuckle today, I think the Bah Humbugs have set in again.

Civil War - Oregon VS Oregon State

Who is gonna win and who is gonna go to the Rose Bowl. We are a serious house divided......out TV will be tuned to ESPN at 6:00 P.M.. Good night for pizza and kick back for what should be a good football game.

Mark walked in tonight and told Drake a joke "What do you call 40 people watching the Rose Bowl?, what? The Ducks!! HEHEHE, he thought that was soo funny, Drake did not!!

I have my yellow shirt ready, my yellow and green scraf, my "O" earrings and my "O" tattoos, I am ready.......

Our christmas tree is an equal opportunity tree though. Even amounts of Duck and Beaver ornaments. (Beavers in the back, just kidding!)

GO DUCKS!!!

The Stocking are hung by the chimney with care.....

Hey Atleast the stockings are hung too, there may be hope for Santa and presents yet! Tis the season for hope.......
Plus, we have our Chubby snowman plugged in. So far that is the extent of my outside decorations......it's a start...

"It's beginning to look alot like Christmas"....

What a difference a day makes. I am, atleast temporarily, over my bah humbugness. Quick, I better do some cyber-shopping and quick letter typing.....This is how it looks before.......what a mess, why do I have so much stuff.....
and then here is, atleast the tree up and decorated. How sad it looks with no presents under it!!! (even though you can't see the bottom, trust me there is not presents under there)
On a side note, not christmas related. Here is a pic of Gunner with his first goose. He was so excited to pass his test for his goose permit a couple weeks ago, and then got his first goose on Saturday. Its not a very big one, but still it was a goose. (see the smile :D)
