The Skinny


Warning: This post may be a bit discombobulated.
Kind of like my brain at the moment.

So here's the skinny. It's the Holiday season. I'm tired. I'm busy. And sometimes I forget to update my blog. Ok, it only happened twice (!) this week, but I'm pretty sure that it's going to happen a few more times this month. It's just the way the Christmas cookie crumbles.

It's snowing outside!

(My house, doesn't look like this.)

The stuff for my Holiday cards are all ready. Photos, check. Envelopes, check. Cool pen that makes addressing a hundred cards fun, check. Stamps, check. Now all I need is my lovely ladies to come over for a little Card Writing Party! Yep, to avoid the hours of bad TV I usually watch while addressing cards, this year I'm having some of my lovely ladies over for some noshing and chatting. Hopefully it will make the time (and the cards) fly by!

(Aren't these cute?!)

I haven't even started Christmas shopping. I think I know what I'm getting everyone, but it has yet to appear all prettily wrapped underneath my tree.

Wait, the tree has yet to appear too.

We have a jam-packed, action filled weekend. Tomorrow morning we're headed to No Coast Craft-o-rama, we go every year and I think that's where I'll find gifts for my brother's girlfriend and the Mrs. Clone. Then the Mr. will take LN to a puppet show at In the Heart of the Beast theatre. Which is conveniently located about two blocks from where the market is. Sweet! Sunday we have a birthday brunch for a sweet three year old friend of LN's and then I'm headed to the Mr.'s aunt's house to learn how to make a fun gift that I'll be giving out this year. Yay! Hopefully in there we'll make some cookies and maybe some fudge too. Yipee!

Now I'm off to make some Chicken Tetrazzini for my dear, dear friend who just had a darling baby girl yesterday. Welcome Baby J! The little lady and I get to go over for a visit post-nap. (Don't worry honey, I don't have the Baby Ya-Yas yet!)

So Happy Holiday Friday to everyone! Leave me a note and let me know what you're up to this weekend. Whatever it is, I'm sure it will be fun!

    Hey MP,

    We're going to the founder's Day at AUN today. The founder is the former VP of Nigeria. Later the Prof is giving some of his final presentations. On Sunday we do this thing called "Quiz Night" where we break into teams and someone is the moderator and comes up with questions and we play. Oh and I have to grade, grade, grade and prep... I cannot wait for Egypt.

A Giveaway, A Giveaway!

Well fellow inter-friends, I was going to post today about my experience with the Wii Fit. However, upon looking at my post number I realized that today was post #95. Which means that I get to announce the nifty little giveaway I have planned for post #100. Giveaway you say? Oh yes, just keep reading folks. I'm not going to get too introspective and sentimental today. After all, I have to leave myself something to write for the hundredth post. I'm excited that I made it this far. When I started out I really, really hoped that I'd actually write in this space and feel motivated enough to keep writing here. And I do! I like having something to do everyday that is for me, and really (sorry to disappoint you) only me. We can discuss this at more length next week, when I've actually made it to one hundred. So, the details. I want to know more about who you are. Yes, you! The people that come and read my stuff everyday. Or every week. Heck, if you're just pa...

A Confession

First let me come clean.  I'm pregnant. Now, let the next thirty-one weeks commence where I talk of nothing else except my growing belly, appetite and need for Cheetos.  Not really, but I will say this; I'm tired.  So tired that normal everyday tasks that should only take me a few minutes suddenly sit around, unfinished, for days at a time.  Examples?  The dishwasher, the dirty dishes, groceries (the non-perishable ones, duh), folding the laundry, making the bed.  I mean, there are much better things to do, like, stuff handfuls of popcorn in my mouth while watching all the episodes of Angel, in order.  Don't judge me, I am returning to school in a few weeks; maybe this is just me trying desperately to channel myself as a Freshman in college?  Who the heck knows.  What I do know that my "golden time," or nap time as it is commonly called, was once used to clean, cook, tidy up, rest and blog.  Well, you know how much blogging I've done o...

Now You See Me, Later You Won't

Although I've been away from this space for quite some time I was surprised to see that people were still reading it.  Go me!  So, although I am not going to be blogging in this space for much longer, I'm going to leave it up for the time being.  If nothing else as a way for people to find me in my next space. Next space you say?  Yes, I'm moving.  When I started this blog things were very different from what they are now.  I thought we were moving abroad much sooner, I was not going to school and there were no definite plans for a second baby.  That being said, the last few months I felt like I was not able to really be comfortable in this space.  So I'm opting to move someplace else, under a different blog name and start again.  I really hope that you will move over with me; I've so enjoyed having you along for the ride! So, sometime soon I will post about my new digs.  As soon as I find the time to put something up over...
