For cuteness..

Even Burt and Seymour made the tree this year.
(Thanks again Deb!!)

six months.

and this guy will be home!

I so can't wait for him to make the little sis lick the carpet once again.

Are they real...or are they fake?

Ours is totally real.
{and yes, it totally looks like it is dying in this picture. Just another reason I need a new camera.. hint, hint}

Now if I could only have one for each room,
or at least have the budget to buy new decorations each Christmas.

Instead, I get to add a couple new ornaments each year.

The newest addition..

Thank you Walmart.


Oh and BTW..
The Cougars' were totally fake.

We're easily entertained..

Can I just express my love for Netflix? I seriously love it. Especially now that we can just watch movies through our Wii. I think it's a curse at the same time though, since we watch the most random movies ever. No really, the most random. I call them classics, but you may think otherwise. Here are a few that we have watched this past month...

I can't believe this movie really was a thriller.
I honestly remember being completely freaked out by it.

"Rocky loves Emily... Rocky loves Emily"

This movie totally reminds me of growing up with my cousins.
I was always totally bugged that there wasn't an awesome girl ninja.

Surfing on top of a van to the Beach Boys?
Yep.

Now and Then has to be one of my favorites. Mainly because it totally reminds me of the 6th grade, and how I hoped that me and my group of friends would stay just as close. Even though we didn't have a cool tree house, we totally did a seance (sp?) at Nikki's birthday party. Good thing we really didn't know what we were doing at the age of 12.

What makes all of this even better is that Jon watched all of these with me, and gave me the weirdest look when I would laugh out loud at probably the dumbest parts. I know he secretly enjoyed them. Oh, and how do I know? He wanted to watch Tremors II the next day.

Already?

Yep, it's that time.
Jon has already started watching Elf.
Yesterday would make it the second time.
Sunday would have been the first.
It's kind of a daily thing..

I love that I married someone that gets just as excited as I do about the Holidays.

Cougar Time.

and my high school prey.

It's what fun is..

or so they say..

For our latest work team activity,
we decided to spend the day at Lagoon.
I thought Peer Pressure was supposed to end in Jr. High..

I was totally wrong.

Co-workers can sucker you into anything.

Even if you truly believe you are going to die.

Jonny lame.

This guy is in Italy for 8 days.
Wives weren't invited.
So you guessed it..
I'm sitting at home,
facebook and blog stalking,
watching way too much MTV,
and totally bored out of my mind.

Please come home soon husband.
I miss you.

Tell me something..

Why did she get all of tall, skinny, and good looking genes?

Itching to Design..

Lately I have been feeling a little depressed because I haven't been able to design as much lately as I would like.

Instead I have been frying my brain at work in my new position,
which doesn't use one creative bone in me.

I don't know if this is just me needing to start a new little project for our little humble abode..
or what??

I have been thinking of purchasing a sewing machine here in the near future,
even though I don't have the slightest idea of where to even begin,
let alone how to thread a needle.

I have also been imagining fun little art pieces that I could create to hang on my walls.

But more than anything..
I just want to design.

Too bad I am stuck in this apartment for two more years..
and unfortunately clients aren't lining up at my door begging for my design expertise.

I guess I will just enjoy others imaginative minds for now.
