Shhhhh...don't tell Christian

So, the reason Christian doesnt have his binky anymore is because he has lost them somewhere in the house. I am sad to admit that I didnt take it away from him, I love what the binky does for him just as much as he does....He doesnt have them because he hasnt found them yet and I wont buy anymore. Sooo...if he does find one before I do, then we will have to turn the clock back to 0. He is still doing well, not asking for it and going to sleep fine without it....

I was happy to find this one before he did....

Then I thought about saving his binkies for posterity and I was reminded of this...

I guess I know where Christian gets his obsession. The jar on the bottom is a jar of binkies I had when I was a baby. My grandmother kept them for me. I was crazy on the binky!!!! My parents made many trips to the store in the middle of the night to appease my addiction....I think there are a few other binkies of his floating around the house, hopefully I will find them before he does.

I think I will do the same for Christian...he ought to be thrilled. Like he will be thrilled about a picture book of his tantrums.....ahhh..sweet revenge.

The bottle on the top was one of my bottles, possibly a bottle I had in the hospital, I dont recall.

Oh, and by the way, this is my 100th post on this blog!!!!!

Talley-Ho for now!

Me myself and I

OK, it seems everyone has a picture they have taken of themselves and posted either on MySpace, Facebook, whatever....sigh...

Here is the one I took of myself this morning....

This of course was after the 900th try...I am trying to decide whether it even looks like me....why? because its not a bad picture...one out of a million that have been taken of me

I dont like pictures of myself...I NEVER photograph well, really, I am not just saying that because I think I look bad.

Theres me!! I look my best in the morning after my hair has been done and I have done the makeup...it doesnt take long for that to go downhill!

Worth a thousand words...

This picture says it all....my boys the couch potatoes...Ice Age 2 for about the billionth time....

Man's Best Friend

I dont post much about the dogs, so here are recent pics...

My Man, Hector

"I am so old, I dont want to move" - Hector

Daisy (unfocused of course)

"I should have been a blonde" - Daisy

Buddy...sigh

"Oh no, she is giving me that look again, the look that says - Here I come, snip, snip!!!!" - Buddy

The Park

Seems like I didnt get too many pictures of our trip to the park this weekend. I think I was intimidated by BFF Nikon K's camera....made mine look like chopped liver....

Here is a pic of Kaelen walking backwards to keep me from taking his picture...he does this and then complains I dont have as many pictures of him as the little ones.

Tried to get a cute one of Mom and Daughter, but this was all she would allow

Christian was more interested in the sand than the playground..I think he is out of focus...I think my very abused camera needs a tune-up.

Running....

I dont have any pictures, I am too tired for that right now. Since I have been off for new years, I do not think I have EVER cleaned as much as I have in the last 4 days. I have cleaned and purged countless drawers cabinets and closets. Kaelen and I have moved tons of furniture in and out of bedrooms...I am absolutely exhausted..and now I have to go back to work tomorrow.

Enough of that...I love to watch movies and TV. Most movies I will sit through and watch no matter how much they stink....but I think I finally found one I just couldnt stand to waste my time on......I dont understand why this was the biggest movie of lastr year..supposedly it was much bigger in Europe. I couldnt handle any more after the first 20 minutes...

Mamma Mia!!

This movie was awful..I was excited about seeing it ....I like musicals....and I like ABBA music, but this was just terrible...if you liked it, kudos to you.

I just couldnt handle Meryl Streep singing and the daughter with the fathers....arghhh...I think had it been a regular movie without the singing, it would have been ok, but it wasnt...

Anyway, my movie review for the day.

For the year..Hands down, no doubt, the best movie of the year was Batman, the Dark Knight...no question about it....I didnt see too many in the theater and I didnt see this one, but when I saw it on DVD, it was the best. I would like to see Benjamin Button, but I dont get out much.

So, your opinion of the best movie of 2008??

Party Pooper

I guess this is what happens when you get old. We had no desire to go anywhere on New Years Eve. Wanted to stay home, watch movies and be asleep by 10. I didnt work out that way.

Kaelen and I ran to Wal-Mart to get a few things, I needed to spend 11 more dollars on my Flex plan, so I bought some medicines I know we need at any given moment.

I could already hear the neighbors starting to pop firecrackers when I got home, so I wasnt too happy about that.

I rented a few movies and quickly proceeded to park myself on my bed and watch a chic flick I got specifically for myself...

Then they started with the fireworks again, this time quite a few...so, being the cranky old lady I am...I called the police, as firecrackers are PROHIBITED in our city limits. I was pretty peeved...

So I was able to watch my movie..and 10 came and went...it was about 1145 when the movie was done so we opened the bottle of champagne and drink it right at midnight, then I went to bed....then I heard the firecrackers again so I yelled at the neighbors out our window.

We have a history with these neighbors, they are frequently ticking us off...

So then I could go to sleep....I really wanted to be in bed early...but at least I wasnt out at a party drinking way too much....


New Years Day involved me cleaning like a mad woman...I cleaned a closet, every junk drawer...got all of the christmas stuff put up, dusted, cleaned out the TV armoire....got rid of a ton of stuff, it was great!! I hope I can continue tomorrow as I have quite a bit more to do.

Hope you all had a great New Year! Lets hope our new president doesnt make this a worse year than 2008!!!
