Once there was a snowperson...

A Grecian snow-goddess of goodness and light with frozen half dead leaves flowing in the wind.


We are expecting up to 10 more inches tonight. I didn't think I would miss the kids at school but a whole week without them is tough. They have a way of making the day go by faster. No snow days for me, but the hubs and I had quite a fun time putting together our snow goddess. I dub thee my first official snow person.



My holiday baking has gone horribly awry. It is Symphony bars from me this year. I have never had such trouble with pumpkin rolls. It was not meant to be I guess. NO PUMPKIN ROLLS FOR YOU!

Two more days and three weeks of freedom and a full week of bliss. I am quite excited. Two more snowy blowy days. *sigh*

I will try to get better pictures of the goddess tomorrow in the daylight, or cloud sky light as the case may be.

The destruction of sleeves...

My family and I are all going on a cruise in January. It is customary to wear a formal one of the nights on the boat. I suppose we do not have to partake in this tradition but of course it sounds like fun to me. It's rare these days that you get the chance to dress up and go out.
Which leaves me with the question of sleeves. I find that sleeves on a formal ruin it. Suddenly I am the mother of the bride and that is not cool. I come to you for ideas and input. I looooooooooove this As far as dresses with sleeves go it's pretty neat. I know $200 is not the worst thing in the world but try telling that to the hubby. So, I was also looking at This little number, but with a wider belt and I would have to wear some kind of bolero or something over it. Add some killer shoes and some bling and it may pass as formal. I, however, have very little experience with formal. I like this one but I lean toward the vintage vibe if you hadn't noticed. Again, not as formal as one would like but I do like it quite a bit.
I just want to be pretty, I lean toward the purple because it's beautiful and workable and I have been wanting to do a super cool photo shoot with the cousins out in the desert or something in a formal and it would be awesome. Talk me out of this tree guys and give me more ideas/options if you can, I am not willowy so maybe the purple dress is just me dreaming I had a different body again.

EDIT: And my mom just called and told me not to worry about it, just wear what I would wear to church. That kind of stinks. It would be nice to dress up and feel pretty. :(

Dead Daisies...

I should write about Thanksgiving and how much I love it and how awesome it was to see all the cousins and family and feel the love. I should write and post a picture of the random roll that was left in my tree limbs when I got home. I think the Thanksgiving celebration got a little out of hand next door while we were away. O_o I should write about going to see Twilight and not reading the books and how even on a Monday night after all the mania had died down I still heard girls squealing over Edward. You usually loose the interactiveness of a movie after opening weekend. It was more than funny, and I have been saying things like "Edward wouldn't do that to me." Or "Edward would let me buy that." to my husband. It's great leverage. ;) Not that my husband doesn't already basically let me do what I want. He loves me lots. :)

I should write about all of these things but friends, I have sad news. I can't help but blame you all for it too. I have been telling you and warning you and yet you did not turn on the TV and watch Pushing Daisies and yes my friends it is going to be canceled. I hope you are happy! *stern mad face* That was my TV paradise and now it's going to be gone forcing me to buy the season DVDs and watch with a hankie in hand over and over. It was the best show ever and I am sad. They always cancel my shows and it makes me angry.

To quote the baby of my preschool class: I am incredible! I AM ANGRY!
