Merry Sunday!


What a Christmas! It was nice but I’m glad it’s over.

Every year the boys usually ask for one “big” thing and they get it. I am usually the person in charge of getting that item. This year, I decided that Sweety would do that and warned him in plenty of time and I vowed to not remind him of it constantly. But I couldn’t help myself and when I noticed that he hadn’t been shopping, I spent the past week pestering the living shit out of gently reminding him of what the boys wanted and what store to get it from.

There were two small boxes under the tree for them and Sweety swore that he’d bought boxes of Thin Mints and wrapped them up. I believed him. He was so convincing. I spent the past week being a little pissed off that he was being so grinchy, lazy, grouchy…and wouldn’t go to the store.

The Thin Mints? Weren’t Thin Mints. They were the things that the boys had asked for. I think I was more excited to see them under the tree than they were. But I still had a week’s worth of annoyance to get rid of.

As an early gift, Sweety didn’t put up a fuss about having Bekah and her kiddo (Sam aka The Artist) come down for a few days. The three of us tore Disney up and had a large time. I am ashamed to say that I LOVE THE MAGIC KINGDOM! The characters! The fireworks! I was going to go alone but it was soooo much better with a kid along. This way, I didn’t look like a complete weirdo as I squealed my way through the place.

And the fireworks show? Holy shit batman. Made me cry.

As you can see from a couple of posts down – we took some photos too. Sweety came home to us giggling in the locked bedroom and said, “Don’t do anything stupid in there.” when I came out to tell him hello. So, I did not touch Bekah’s boobies and you will not be seeing any coochie photos. But she took some kickass photos! When she turned the camera around so I could see them I was blown away. I don’t think I REALLY look like that but by posing properly and having good lighting…damn. I look pretty cute.

Stinky Dog would appreciate your good thoughtbeams. I think she strained a muscle in her shoulders/neck when she was getting a bath this morning. She did a u-turn in the tub and I don’t think she’s really built for that. She kind of vomited a little when she got out of the tub and shivered for a long time afterwards. I laid down on the couch with her to snuggle and she finally quit shivering. (She actually fell asleep so hard on me that I thought she was dead when I woke. That was a creepy 30 seconds.) She’s walking around and eating treats but she seems to be stepping tenderly and cries if I rub her neck. She’s asleep on the couch now and I’m hoping that a couple of days rest will help her feel better. Going to give her some pain medicine before bed too. If she’s not feeling better then I’ll take her to the vet on Tuesday.

  1. Glad that you all had a good Christmas. My wife and I like Magic Kingdom too even though it’s “for kids”. There are some great amusement parks in Ohio with some fabulous rides; but they don’t have the atmosphere of MK.

    Yes! The atmosphere there is something else. Even though I’m grown, it sucks me in. I got so excited seeing how starstruck Bekah’s kid was at meeting Lilo & Stitch. :)

  2. I think you really do look “like that”.

    Thinking powerful Fiero thoughts of kicking ass and taking no prisoners for Stinky Dog!

    I think your Fiero thoughts worked. Sweety took her to the vet today because she was so sluggish this morning. She got a B12 shot and a complete exam and the vet said she seemed perfectly healthy – just old. There’s bloodwork being done too and I’ll know about it on Thursday.

    Hopefully, yesterday and today were just “off” days for her. I make sick jokes about her “going to meet Jesus” and my house not being overrun with dog hair but really? I want that hairy bitch to live forever.

    The tree should stay up until January 6th.

    And, you DO look “like that.” You’re fucking hot. The end.

    Stinky Dog is the bomb, you know it, and I’m glad she’s doing better now.

    The tree probably will stay up that long. Due to my extreme laziness.

    Thank you.

    Me too! All I could keep thinking was how I’d told you I’d be happy when she went to meet Jesus…I take it back. I want her forever! Freaking hairballs and all.

    Sounds like you had a GREAT Christmas, my dear!
    Wishing you all a Very Very Happy New Year and hoping that 2010 brings you and yours ALL Good Stuff!
