Lights in Georgia

Mum and Barbara and me are going to Georgia on the 18th to Pineview Mtn. They have a garden there and lights display. I cant wait to go!

I have the same problem when I try to upload my christmas list to santa.

Dinner at Outback

We celebrated Moms and AB and Kims birthday at Outback today.

Conner and I made cards check them out in the paper blog.

Well the cake has all been eaten and it is time for the no chocolate till Christmas.

Well That might be tough because we got an office christmas party on the 11th!

Harry Potter Saturday

I watched three Harry Potter movies and knitted all Saturday long. It was quite fun!

Lexington + Monk

Lexington got a clean bill of Health. It is back to normal routine for the dogs. Problem is I dont think they want to go back to the old ways. They are liking the new ways to much. especially Desoto.

Well it was the series finally of Monk. I cried. Not because it was a sad ending. It was a very wonderful satisfactory ending. I cried because I do not think I will ever miss a television show more then I will miss Monk. I am so silly. I called my self idiot several times.


I had a lot of awe moments watching monk. One that stands out (a little background if your not familiar with the show) Monk has ocd. He is very self centered. Not in a bad way. He just has to have every thing the way he is use to. He fears germs and animals and nature and milk and heights and enclosed spaces and well the list goes on forever. For example he will not drink anything but a certain bottle of water. He went a whole weekend in mexico with out food and water because of his phobias.
I promised an awe moment...
Now remembering all I mentioned this was the first episode he met Natalie. Natalie hired Mr. Monk to figure out who was trying to kill her. They really werent trying to kill her. Her daughter Julie went to a museum and bought a fish aquarium kit. It had a priceless rock from another planet that the bad guys hid in the box hoping to sneak it out later. Before they did Julie bought it. Mr. Monk figures it out of course. The same fish is a common fish that Julie wanted to submit to a science fair that had lived way longer then the normal life expentancy of that fish. A few fish life times over actually. At first the science teacher said no impossible. The truth comes out when Natalie tells the teacher that was a pet Julies father gave to her before he went over seas. He was in the air force or marines or navy or army or something. When the fish dies Natalie replaces it before Julie finds out. The teacher feels sorry for Julie and understands how important it is to keep the secret and allows the fish to be entered in the science fair as long as she is not qualified for a prize.
Thats when the bad guy strikes again. He sneaks in and scoops up the rock with a fish net but also catches the fish. Mr. Monk chases after him. The guy falls, the fish flies in the air and lands on the ground along with the rock. Instead of getting the rock and foiling the bad guy. Mr. Monk picks up the fish (remember all his phobias) and runs thru the school to rescue the fish. He accidently puts the fish in a tank of pirranas, but then gets the fish out and puts the fish in a safer bowl. Think about all the wipes he had to use after that.
Thats when Natalie decides to quit her job as a bartender and work for the craziest cookiest detective in the world.

Surprised Kitty @ Yahoo! Video

But alas

I gave in The butter fingers were to strong for me. It was not a fun day. The service manager was not in the office. I do not like dispatching.

Day 15 Kat attack

NO CHOCOLATE... I am GOING CRAZY!

Kathryn was in the room with the door closed and her cat was crying to get in. Then she started jumping up at the door knob trying to turn it. It was pretty funny.

Day 14

Oooh la la no chocolate

I was in the bed room and I came out and Carlos was trying to put the child proof gate back up in the kitchen. In this case it’s a dog proof gate. I stood there, dogs by my side and arms crossed. He said What? It was down when I came home. I told him well first you are putting the gate up on its side, also looking at down at the dogs, I said the dogs are on the wrong side of the gate. I then told him to forget putting it up.

Day 13

No chocolate for me. Lots of baby sitting though!

Day 12 AKA Black Friday

Still no Chocolate. Pretty amazing huh???

Conner said he was abnormal while he was showing off that his finger was double jointed.


OOOf Black Friday (that oooof was suppose to be oooh but I like the typo so it stays)
Here is the deal. After midnight I went to walmart to stake out the goodies. It was getting pretty wild already. People were staking out their goodies. They were lined up for the tvs and lap tops. I scoped all the items I wanted. I bought a few things and went home. I layed my head down a few hours. I went back at 3am and started piling my buggie with all the stuff I wanted.

I walked around for a while and everybody was beginning to line up to check out. They were not checking out the till 5am. I was in line at 4am. So I had an hour to wait. Once it was 5am, I was out by 23 mins. I felt sorry for all them silly people who were coming in at 5am. All the stuff were already in the peoples buggies in line.

I went home and didnt wake up till 2pm.

Day 11

Somebody didnt bring the Marble cheese cake. POUT!

Happy Thanksgiving day.

The dumplings and Mac and Cheese made up for it.

I was nice I allowed Carlos to eat at the dinner table.

Day 10 --- All blue eyes and charm

NO CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!!!

All blue eyes and charm... saw that on the USA channel and liked it

Schools out Schools out teacher let the monkeys out. One went east, one went west and one went up the teachers dress.

I played hookie from work too.

Day 9 -Brian the Brain

No Chocolate


Brian the Brain is a toy that you can program to talk and say a particular child’s name. Conner had one. Late one night Brian started calling Conner’s name while he was asleep. It scared the creepers out of him. He went to his mom’s room and told her Brian the Brain interrupted his sleep.

Day 8

Back at work. Monday Blues. Snickers is still calling me. Tim is licking 3-musketeer bars and offering it to me.

Chick fil a still has tastie brownies... there are still two brownie mixes in the pantry and a box of white fudge covered oreos in the cat food. That is to keep them out of Carlo's reach.

Day 7

Its been a week and the tempations have been great! There was all you can eat ice cream and not wimpy vanilla either. There was mint chocolate chip, chocolate and cookies and cream. I said I will persevere... Mom said you hadnt had a head either. Well yes I have.

My nephew gave me a chips ahoy cookie. I told him thank you. Then I offered him one. He said thank you. He smiled.

There are now oreo cookies covered in white fudge in the house. Oh my!

I will make it... I tell you!

I went to get Lucas his Christmas gift and Conner went with me. He want to get Lucas a present too. He first wanted to get a coloring book but they only had the same one he already had. He then picked out a dora book. He was so proud of that book. He told every stranger that he had a present for his brother in the bag.

Day 6

Subway has the very best Chocolate chip cookies. Chick fil a brownies are very tastie.

Oh there is brownie mix in the pantry.

I said no thank you.

Day 5

The snickers are calling my name! I told them they had the wrong number.

Day 4

I was tempted with cheese cake bites smothered with chocolate sauce. I said no. I was tempted with hershey nuggets. I said no.

I know not moderation!

Day 3

The days are dragging by. I think it is because I know next week is thanksgiving.

I found more tempation. Mickey has mini reese cups. How cruel is that?

Since he stole Mark's butterfingers I stole his minie reese cups and passed them out.

Oh the evil doings of an office.

This blog thing is pretty cool. A long time ago I wanted to start a journal using the computer, this before any of those online things. I wanted to include pictures and the days going's on. So I made my first entry. The plan was to save it to a floppy disk.

So I put my plan into action. The first entry was a master piece. I included witty comments and photos. When I was done I put a floppy disk into the computer and hit save.

My wittiness must have been packed with some heavy stuff because the disk wasnt large enough to hold that one file.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Call it udder shock. A South Carolina woman who heard a giant splash in her backyard discovered a 650-pound cow had fallen into her swimming pool. WSPA-TV reports that the cow fell into Kathy Wydareny's covered pool on Monday night. The Anderson resident says the cow belonged to her neighbor.

Day 2

OH the tempation... Last nite Joey put a bowl of chocolate ice cream right in front of my face and said here you can have that.

I split it in half and gave it to Marlo and Sophia.

I dreamt I ate Chocolate.

This is TOUGH!

I want to go to Chick fil a and I cant have a brownie! NO FAIR!

Silly bet I made with myself!

Day 1

Day one of no Chocolate. Its going pretty rough. The snicker bars were just replinished in the snack machine. They are calling my name. I think I will be dreaming chocolate dreams tonight. Good thing Cheese Cake is not made of Chocolate... then I wouldnt be able to eat that piece of cheese cake Robin gave me.

PS notice the time that this was posted... I did not change it!

The evil snickers is even saved in my pics on my cell phone! They are every where!

Tim was going to Doc's I said bring me a present... I was thinking mac and cheese and here is what I got...
Life is so unfair!

HOT FUDGE CAKE

I watched Ghost of Girl Friends Past. It was silly. I returned it and stopped at Rush's and got a HOT FUDGE CAKE (its so good it needs to be shouted!)

I told everybody this was my last bit of chocolate till Thanksgiving, almost two weeks away.

Charleston

Charleston

We went to Charleston before Wendell went back to AZ.
The people who went are Barbara, Bruce, Mom Wendell and Me. Wendell took over the radio of course. That is so irritating UGH! Not to mention his taste in music is BLAH! We went to Subway for lunch. Exciting yeah I know. Then we went to Folly Beach and hung out at Heather’s place for a while. She has a wonderful view.


This is one of the trees that has cranes in it.

Then we went to the beach and walked for a while.

Heather and Mark looked for sea shells for a vase and I took pictures and was bossy.

Then we went downtown Charleston.
We walked along the battery and I took this awesome picture


and rainbow row.


They had a ghost tour carriage ride but alas we were poor. For dinner we went to Tbonz.
Bruce had his favorite Tommy fries.
Then we walked thru a spooky Charleston.

and

Uncle Window

Wendell came to visit from Arizona. Barbara helped him to purchase a car. He flew in on Thursday and will be driving back on Sunday the 15th.

Saturday we went to Phyllys's wedding Wendell went to Charleston by himself to see a movie at the imax theatre.


I think he was crazy. Everybody else thinks I am crazy for thinking that is crazy. Just think if it ... how much did that movie cost?

While I was in Anderson I had gotten a call from Sophia and Marlos mom asking me to come over but of course I couldnt. I called her the next day and invited them to go to the zoo with us. They were more then happy to join us. The people that went were Robin, Conner, Lucas, Mom, Wendell, Barbara, Bruce and of course me.



All but Barbara and Bruce met at McDonalds for lunch. Poor Sophia and Marlo Could not remember Wendells name. Mom got the great idea of telling them to remember Window because it sounds like Wendell. They called him Window from that moment on and still calling him Window. Too Funny!

The best part of this zoo visit??? The Penguins. They were hopping all over the place..


Also Lucas was too cute watching the Lizard



We saw the gorillas being fed. That was pretty cool. The meerkats were not as active and they usually are.

Sophia insisted on seeing a sloth. I finally begged everybody to go see them so she would stop asking. We get there and well she didnt believe they were the sloths. I had her read the sign and then she believed me.

I found out Kathryn was going to dinner with us at Olive Garden. I called Sophias and Marlo's mom and asked if they could go. I got the go ahead.

I didnt tell them Kathryn was going to be there. I kept saying there was a surprise at Olive Garden. Sophia told me it was ok to tell... Barbara already did. Then she said Its ok to tell Conner told her. She is so silly!

I assigned the seats so there was an empty seat in the middle and they asked who was sitting there. I told them your surprise.

Sophia pretty much guessed what it was but I wouldnt confirm it!

It was a pretty awesome day.

heard on extreme make over

A burst of comfort.

I like that idea.

Demon Baby

Even if his shirt says he doesnt bite... I bet he does!
