God I need to blog.

Just a refresher for those who forgot who I am:
Just moved here:

Husband still sells this:

Just rid myself of this:


Which brings me to things. Things have been a titch busy and stressful for me lately. Like I feel like life goes so fast,
I can't get anything acomplished, I'm a 12 year old in a 25 year old's body, etc. I'm heavying into shipping what feels like millions of magazines, too. But I'm feeling better and now I'm going to talk about my Taurus, okay?

So I've traded it in. Like, I don't have it anymore. It's wild. That car was a part of me. Good times, very bad times, times when I went to see Incubus and Moby in Denver in a tent times, times when I first went to visit Brian in St. Louis times and I wore gay retarded boots that I thought were cool times, and times when I never used to carry a purse or wallet and thought that was okay times, thus being pulled over and in a load of trouble times.



This car was heavy on the miles. Turned her in with over 168,000. Towards the end of our journey, I felt like driving it into a river, but alas, right now I've got the new 'MANDO and that Taurus is probably sitting in some dirty used car lot downtown, waiting for some idiot to think it's a sweet deal. Just don't open the cup holder. It's sticky.

Life is pretty, settling into the new house and all. We've finally decorated for Christmas, which just puts me in the best mood. I love this time so much. I know you all have ants in your pants and want me to just post my whole home on the internet, but hold tight, I still don't feel like it's perfect yet. But FYI, the Orkin man came for his monthly visit and he said we had a lovely home for only being here for a month. Thanks, man, just blast those mice.

Let's start with the outside of our house:

Man if we had an extra 300 bones for a nice extention ladder and maybe not so fearful of breaking legs, we'd have that house lit up and visable from space. You will notice that we did use the BIG CHUNKIES. Most awes Christmas lights ever. The only ones. And you can't see it, but I put up big red bows under our lights and a nice little wreath that I built on the door. Makes me want to drink eggnog.

Here's the perfect shot in our family room:

We got the real tree, my little light up white glitter houses, and a sweet plum-colored wreath full of more glitter hanging off of the mirror. Because it's so great, here it is again.

That's some fine decorating. Stockings on the corner, some P. Barn 99 cent ornaments from years ago, and some other assorted decorations as seen here:




It all feels good. We're pumping ourselves up for the 2nd annual Scott new year's eve party.
Complete with shrimp and honey baked ham. And my white glitter houses.



Anywhoo, other than that I've seen a few movies. Bri and I went to see "The Holiday" . Love it so hard. Brian even said he loved it. And when Jack Black said "boob graze" I just died. He should be everyone's hero. Don't waste your time with "Stranger Than Fiction". Waste-o-time. If anyone liked it, I'll hurt them. What you will like, is my new hobby. Spraypainting things.

Oh. My. Sweet. Lord. Seriously, this weekend we went antiquing with the mission of finding a little entry way table. Well, BINGO. Found a butt-ugly, rose-adorned, GIFT for 30 bucks.
We snatched it up and I OWNED IT THIS WEEK IN THE GARAGE.

You sand and spray, people. It turns things into brand new things. So much so that I went back downtown tonight for this other table that I had my eye on and just like that, I've landed myself a sweet new office piece. I'm kind of retarded when it comes to my eyes, and apparently goggles weren't an option, so I used a pair of funny glasses combined with a nice mask and free Hy-vee T.

Well I had a bad bout with some mac and cheese from a local restaurant, I started up jazzercise last night and I can't move my legs, and I really hope this Taco Bell/eccoli problem gets cleared up stat.
They're my weekend food source, man.

And I close with some pictures from when Steph and Meliss came to visit 17 years ago.
Just kidding. A few months, but it has taken me forever to upload. Enjoy and enjoy.
