ugh...
however, in computer years, it must be going through the terrible twos....
I keep getting the blue screen of death, and I have no idea why, I have not done anything recently except check my email and type in Word...
I liked it better in the days of the mac sad face...

Our Christmas Tree
This is our Christmas tree this year.
I bought it today at KMart. I dragged it into the car, and into the apartment, and put the whole thing together. I plugged it in, and half the lights didn't light up, so, I packed it all back up after spending a few hours trying to figure it out, finding the bulb that was smashed (and emitted a few sparks), and cursing a few times. I dragged the box back to my car, and back into KMart. No hassle, they brought me another one, and helped me get it into my car. Then I dragged it back out of my car, and up the stairs to the apartment. I set it all back up again, and VOILA!!!! it all lit up. The boy came home, and we decorated it. It is glorious.
In order to completely understand why I would put up with all this, you have to see the tree we had last year...
Doesn't that just explain it all????????Fishy Update
As promised...
Thanksgiving
PS-Pictures to follow...way too tired right now!
quiz
What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland "You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio. | |

loooooooong day
I had my first (EVER) yoga class this afternoon. I think it is going to be a lot of fun. There are three teachers in the class, and we meet in a classroom after school, which makes it very convenient.
The best part was when the instructor told us to do a pelvic tilt, and one of my fellow classmates said, "I'm still not sure what that means." And one of the more outspoken teachers there (I LOVE THIS WOMAN) replied, "She wants you to stick your hooha into the mat."
HAHAHA

Update on my craftiness
Take a look at the artwork!
This was the picture hanging in our first hotel room (see my other post). The vase has the same pattern (if not the same then it's REALLY stinkin close!!!) as the dishes my mother inherited from my great grandmother.
Scott noticed it first, and then pointed it out to me, and told me to blog it. So I did.
Happy now Scott? :-)
Northampton
I stayed at the Clarion Hotel in Northampton with my uncle and cousin. It was an interesting experience, to say the least.
Amy and I were watching ER, when Bruce asks, "Do we have a leak in our room? Does anyone else hear that?"
We look up to see:
Yup, that's water leaking through our ceiling. It was A LOT of water leaking through our ceiling! It started at the wall, and was dripping about 18" out into the room: dripping on the TV, dripping on the dresser the TV was sitting on, and dripping all over the floor.

My cooking rampage...
Friday night's dinner: garlic & thyme rubbed steak with butter and herb mashed potatoes, caesar salad, and crescent rolls.
Sunday night's dinner: I took the steak from Friday night's dinner, and I shaved it (woohoo for my Pampered Chef mandoline!!) and we had steak and cheese subs (mine had onions & peppers on it)
Monday night's dinner: yummy meatloaf, with leftover potatoes and crescent rolls
I've also baked 3 loaves of cranberry-apple bread in the last few days. One loaf was eaten by myself and some girls from work. One loaf was frozen for the day after Thanksgiving breakfast, and one was eaten by a certain coworker of mine (she was ripping pieces of it off between teaching classes).
Wow...I am impressing myself here...
