Something Super Cool!

http://www.bighappiehair.com/index.html

I LOVE these. I want to try them so badly! I love wearing my hair bumped! But with certain hairstyles, I have a hard time with it.... This is perfect! Go check it out!

mmm!

My favorite food in the world is steak. I love it all, cooked medium... with a side of mashed potatoes and maybe a salad.

The other night Chris and I went with Merinda and her boyfriend (also a good friend of mine) to Chilis. I ordered a sirloin steak. It was so good, but I could only eat a few bites due to the chips and salsa Chris ordered before the meal. So, it is not even 10 o'clock yet this morning and I have already eaten half of my leftover steak...

As much as I love to cook (most of the time) I CANNOT cook a steak. Sucks.

I love the prime rib at Texas Roadhouse, but I havnt been there in forever, probably over a year.

Another thing I love are the really gross plascic surgery shows. Just an FYI post.

More from my brain later!

Autumn Rain (my mom's bulletin poem)

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

Black Friday?

Is today another Black Friday? I kinda hope so, I have a gift card for kohls that I would like to use. But I would like a killer deal on whatever I get, maybe a new bed set for my bed, I could use one. The comforter I have now, I have been using since before I had Lance and it has a rip in it. I am so picky about what goes on my bed, that i doubt I would even find one at the first 5 stores i went to, so i might just get some shoes or something. :P

Also, Lance LOVES his smart cycle. I am so glad too, my mom ordered it online for him right before she passed away so it is kinda the last thing she gave to him. I need to go to walmart today too. When Chris was slicing our ham last night he accidentally spilled the honey and brown sugar glaze that I put on top of it, all over the floor. I need to invest in a mop and some mr. clean, multi surface cleaner for my floor. My entire house is a wreck. I just havnt really felt up to cleaning it lately, which was a mistake because now I have pretty much 3 xs the work to get it done.

I do however have TONS of leftovers!

It's Christmas Time in the City

I'll start off by saying Merry Christmas.

Then I am going to congratulate myself for already making my macaroni salad this morning. I only have the whole rest of my menu to make! My Strata is in the oven and my tea is seeping on the stove...

Chris was up late last night so he will be sleeping late today. Unfortunately my son (who is only 2 1/2 btw) remembered that Santa came last night and wants to open his "Pretas!" (thats how he says presents). I am trying to keep him occupied with cartoons and the presents he got at my grandmas last night. I can't wait to see him open the presents that mommy and daddy.... I mean, er, Santa Claus put under the tree last night! A little birdy told me that he got some skates and I am so anxious to see him play with them!

On another note, I slept funny last night and now the left side of my neck hurts like a b....

Christmas Eve

Hello to all my blog followers (if there are any),

Today we wrote the obituary. It still feels like a dream. Even when I was at her house going through her things, picking out her favorite dress for her to wear, i still feel like i can't wake up from the world's worst nightmare. As horrified as I am, I still don't think it has sank in to the fullest yet. The viewing is Friday evening, and the funeral is Saturday morning followed by the burial in the afternoon. Maybe then it will feel real.

Well, today is Christmas Eve, and as "scroogish" as I feel this year, i can't ignore the fact that I have a little boy who is super excited about Christmas this year. He opened presents at my grandma's tonight, he is all about the Santa this year.

I am having Christmas dinner at my house tomorrow night at 7. Tomorrow morning, making a traditional Christmas Breakfast of Strata Casserole and doing presents. Then a day full of cooking and baking. Hopefully i will be so occupied with that, that I will not be thinking about the fact that my mother is no longer with us this year.

Good night all, and Merry Christmas.

The day after

It still feels unreal. Thats all I can really say.

My dad is alone in this world now. I wish there was some way I could comfort him and make everything okay. I am thinking about calling him and inviting him over for Christmas.I just dont know what to do. It's all I can think about. i just want to bake and cook to get my mind off of it. I guess I need to go to the store. I dont know if we have to money though sigh. What do you do when something like this happens? Has anybody lost someone before. i have, but no one this close to me.
