I think he's lying

Lying might be harsh...perhaps just pulling our leg.

What do you think?

I love getting packages

Today in the mail, we got lots of fun things!

First, OUR INVITATIONS!!!! :-) YAY!!! It's crazy to see it in print!

Second, our groomsmen/ring bearer gifts. They're really very nice. I can't say much more, because I don't want to give away the surprise.

Third, my name change kit. "Everything you need to go from Ms. to Mrs."

Fourth, BUBBLES! w00t. (word of the year ya know)

All's well that ends well

Another concert finished. Overall it went well. There were, of course, some parts that could have gone better, but then again, when aren't there?

The kids did their best, and that's what matters the most...and of course we had fun (which is what really counts)

So here's to the next one!

Craftiness for a Good Cause

My Eco-Friendly Beach Bag.

Many many many grocery bags went into making this. It's going to be a raffle item at tomorrow's middle school concert. I hope it does well! :-)

so much white stuff

There have been a LOT of snow storms in the past few weeks.

Anyone else getting slightly sick of it? If so, that's rather unfortunate, seeing as how it's not even technically winter yet.

Fine Food & WHAT???

I WISH I HAD MY CAMERA!!!

The Rat Pack in Framingham on Rt 9 had a large neon sign boasting of its "Fine Food & Cock". The "tails" part of the sign was out.

Middle school humor at its best...

We were out that way to go to Legal Seafood, since we've been holding onto this gift card for a while now, but there was over an hour wait. We didn't think to make reservations.

We turned around, and headed back west, where we decided to stop and check out Ken's Steak House, home of the famous and delicious salad dressings. REALLY YUMMY FOOD! It was a little on the pricey side, but it was good. They brought a bread basket to the table, which had cornbread, onion foccacia type rolls, and italian bread. We got salads, mine was a house, and his was a caesar. I had a steak gorgonzola - the kind of steak that is cut real thin and melts in your mouth. It came with rice pilaf and mixed veggies. The boy ordered lobster bisque and lobster ravioli. I tried some of both...and BOY was it good! We split a slice of banana creme pie for dessert. It was a delicious meal. The building itself is large, and there are a couple of rooms. I would definitely recommend, and go again.

80s Kids Shows

I think I have seen almost every single one of these!!!

yumminess from the past

After getting warmed up from playing outside, I decided to bake. I made mom's Layered Peanut Butter Bars. Anyone remember those?

brrrr.....

It's cold outside.

Especially when playing clarinet (which does NOT allow for gloves) outside for an hour at the Harvard Tree Lighting.

shiver shiver

I heard it through the grapevine

This is the video of my performance in my school's Lip Sync. We were the only teacher group, and the kids seemed to really like it! :-) They especially liked our dance move at the end (Soulja Boy).

This year's Christmas Decorations

Here are pics of our tree and our Willow Tree Nativity Scene.

This is what the boy and I did on Sunday afternoon, after the NVCB played an AWESOME concert at the Ayer Town Hall. A bunch of us (the boy included) went over to JP's afterwards for a late lunch/early dinner.

It was a blast! :-)

see ya later alligator

Apparently the Sox feel the need to get rid of their new, young, and upcoming players to get older (most of them past their prime) players.

Ellsbury is on the block for us to acquire Johann Santana. If we're going to trade Ellsbury, let's get someone better....like CARLOS Santana....

One thing I have learned tonight

The Osmond family does NOT believe in birth control.

George and Olive Osmond (that's a kind of unfortunate name) had:
9 children
55 grandchildren
and
48 great grandchildren


That is a LOT of procreation. I don't know the exact ratio of boys::girls, but it's pretty lopsided there too.

And people wonder why the world is so overcrowded. I don't. I blame the Osmonds. Crazy singing procreating family...

Add one more to next year's team

Mike Timlin has been signed for a one year $3 million dollar contract

I'm a long-lost chipmunk

My voice is squeaky and my throat hurts.

Stop making fun of me.

Just to clarify...

The wedding has not actually been called off.

It's still on, with all of the boatloads of work that goes with it.

Peter, there's no need for concern!

getting ready!

Today I bought the ingredients to make the peanutbutter pecan pie for Thanksgiving. I also bought the ingredients for and made my hot and sweet snack mix. It's pretty yummy.

You mix together:
Chex, Cheerios, Popcorn, Pretzels, and Craisins

Drizzle vegetable oil and tabasco sauce over it

Then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar

Bake for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

YUM! The first taste is sweet, and then a few seconds later you feel some heat. :-)

Not much longer would you be mine....

Instead I heard it through the Grapevine!!

After our little lip sync performance, the boy said the wedding's off.

The girls and I told him that I changed the bridesmaid's dresses to our grape costumes, which was fine with him, because he said it would anger the bridesmaids more than him.

HA!

Way to go Dustin!

Our very own Rookie of the Year.

WOOT

the miracle of life

As I was feeding my fish last night, I noticed that one was missing. I looked around, and I can't find it anywhere.

It's gone.

My fish have a nasty habit of doing that. Darn fish.

Anyhoo....

As I was searching the tank for the big blue fish, I see something move in the corner. Something very very tiny.

I look closer.

It's a BABY fish!

A teensy weensy tiny winy baby fishy.

I don't know which one was the mommy, but one of my fishies had a baby!!
