Holiday Movie # 3

I've gotta be honest. 3am is not the best time to look for holiday movies to watch on TV. BUT, when you're working an awake overnight, you get pretty desperate. Like in this instance. Snow 1? Never even heard of it. But, I quickly got the just of it. And for fun, Tom Cavanagh is a nice blast from my high school past (Ed). So this wasn't a total waste of my time. It had it's cutesy moments, even if it was totally predictable. And I happen to love the term "brain freeze" as I always get it mixed up with "freezer burn".

This is my life!

Just in time for the holidays...

Turkey Butt is having some MAJOR issues at work. His sous-chef (usually the boss of the first cook but in this restuarant they`re even) shoved a sheet pan into his chest for no discernable reason. This led to the two of them on the ground (Turkey Butt on top - he`s an amateur boxer) and the owner`s reaction... Told the Sous Chef it served him right. What the hell! Now I totally don`t agree with these elementary school antics but am definitely worried if this is what the job is coming to. So now, Turkey Butt is talking about giving his notice (with my FULL blessing) and finding another line of work til he hears back from the Armed Forces. Bad timing but SO necessary. Luckily he`s got some money coming in from his second job. And he`s got his jar of money to live off of (so long down south vacation). And all my Christmas gifts are bought and charitable donations given. I think we`ll be okay.

This is my life...

Holiday Movie # 2

I LOVE Vince Vaughan. How could you not? He's this big, goofy teddy bear. And he really plays the best characters - at least when he plays up the big, goofy teddy bear factor. LOVE! And the Siblings Anonymous meeting, brilliant! ``He is not Alec!``

This is my life!

Holiday Movie #1

November Christmas - mainly filmed in my town this summer. I sure do miss all the fake snow and Christmas decorations lining Main Street!

This is my life.

The Little Man Has Arrived!

When I went to pick Rocco up from the Shelter yesterday, we found out the sad reason he was there to begin with. The shelter informed me that they suspect (based on his injuries) that he was tossed out of a car window. His face was so badly damaged that they thought they may have to euthanize him. Luckily they didn't! Instead, with a little TLC from the shelter and he foster home, he's a happy, curious and very social kitten.

Things to know about Rocco:

-he purrs ALL the time;
-his favorite past time so far is to run and pounce on things;
-he prefers drinking out of Adora's water dish over his own;
-his cuddle time maximum appears to be 45 seconds;
-he loves belly rubs!

...more to come! This is my life!
