more snow?

I am SICK of the white stuff!!

Kitchen Rug

I crocheted this using regular run-of-the-mill worsted weight yarn. I held three strands of yarn together and used a size N hook. It didn't take me very long at all. It was pretty easy. I have a number of other rug patterns in the book I picked up. It's pretty cool.

too good to eat?

The boy got this piece of chocolate from work. It was almost too pretty to eat.



...almost...

Shopping!!

Things I bought today:

The pattern and fabric for sewing my ring bearer's pillow. Now all I need are two fake rings to tie on there. (no offense Jack)

The flower girl's basket, and all the stuff I need to make a small bouquet inside (except the flowers)

Yarn on sale at the Christmas Tree Shop.

Cadbury mini eggs - the kind that are chocolate with the hard candy shell - my favorite easter candy!

Cape Cod Cinnamon and Sugar Sweet Potato Chips - I haven't tried them yet, but they sound good!

Soulja Boy Red Sox Remix

Youuuuuuk!

oh this hurts

I know it's past Christmas, but this made me cry I laughed so hard.

Dinner and a Movie

Saturday date night! Woohoo!

We went to eat at Hooligan's Bar and Grille off rt. 20 in Marlborough. It was a so-so restaurant. Not too bad for a bar. I don't know if I would go back.

After we ate, we went to see National Treasure 2. I thought it was really good. A lot of adventure-packed fun! :-) I would definitely recommend seeing it!

Candidate Matchmaker

My matches:

48% - Bill Richardson (I haven't even heard of this guy)
45% - Hillary Clinton (the boy might have my head for this one)
43% - John Edwards (I liked him the first time around)
42% - John McCain (how is this possible??)
40% - Barack Obama (I am surprised by this, I thought it might have matched more)
40% - Mitt Romney (eew)
38% - Chris Dodd (I don't even think he's still in the running)
38% - Mike Gravel (who?!)
38% - Fred Thompson (Law & Order automatically makes this guy cool)
35% - Joe Biden (again, who?!)
35% - Dennis Kucinich - (is this the guy who has the wife that everyone ogles?)
33% - Rudy Giuliani (good for NYC, but will he be good for the USA?)
28% - Ron Paul (any relation to RuPaul?)
20% - Mike Huckabee (no surprises here)
20% - Duncan Hunter (for the third time, or is it the fourth?...WHO?!?!)

I guess I am somewhat middle-of-the-road, since I have a couple of Republicans way up there on the list. I guess I really am telling the truth when I registered Independent!

Cool Facts

These are some pretty interesting facts about the show Law & Order: SVU

Richard Belzer carried his role of Det. John Munch over from the series "Homicide: Life on the Street" (1993). He also played John Munch in "Law & Order" (1990) which had several crossover episodes with "Homicide", an episode of "The X Files" (1993), an episode of "The Beat" (2000), an episode of "Law & Order: Trial by Jury" (2005) and the finale of "Arrested Development" (2003). This is a record for appearances by an actor playing the same character in different


Many of the actors on the show previously starred on the HBO drama "Oz" (1997) including Dean Winters and B.D. Wong. Most notable, and ironic, is Christopher Meloni (Detective Stabler) who played a sadistic rapist and murderer on OZ and now hunts them on SVU.
