OK! I couldn't think of a good name for my blog post, hence the lame-ness above! ha... How was your Thanksgiving? Did you go shopping on Black Friday and get some great deals? Mine was good. We had just a few of our family in town, which made for a small Thanksgiving with extra food to spare (hello yummy leftovers!!!). It was great! Everyone did a little of something. My oldest sister's family was here in town staying with us, my sister Berit and her sone Curtis, the Rents (cool way of saying parents), my Grandma and Aunt Karen, and also my youngest sister Verity and her hubbie. Sounds like a lot, but trust me, it's not even close. It was all good fun though. Early in the morning we had gone to see Tangled, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Great fun, you should see it.

Family! After all the confusion of what to buy, family really comes together during this Winter Wonderland Season! It...

POST-BAM!

TWO POSTS IN ONE DAY! AMAZING! Do you ever come to the point when you're so tired, so exhausted, that everything is THAT MUCH MORE FUNNY? So picture that point. . . Got that image in your head? Now, picture that as me, but almost 24/7. It makes for good times. Don't worry, I ain't no fool. I don't laugh at everything, that would make me a freak, and I would have to join the circus. No bueno! However, last night was one of those especially funny nights. Let me explain my good looking self to you (conceited). Last night there was a little blog meeting and we ate at a restaurant called Cosi's (i think that's how you spell it). Anyways it was a lot of fun and I met a lot of new bloggers. So information was shared, stories told, laughs laughed, and food eaten. However good things were there was one negative. And that was the waiter. In short, he sucked. But we laughed and it was all good. Then came the drive home and here come the part I am talking about. . . The par...
