Note to Self

MG and I are sitting at her store today. A customer who did not buy anything, came in with a thermal white shirt on with no bra. Not a good sight.

Thank goodness for Snopes

An email from SG:
Looks like we were dupped by the snake story....

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Since we were already out on the snowy night, SG and I decided to drive around and check out the Christmas lights. Unfortunately, we were not able to save any lives like the roomies, but we still had a good time.
The first street we turned on was Outlook, or Candy Cane Lane.



A view when you turn down Candy Cane Lane.

This one is for Molly and any other KU fan readers I have!
The next stop was the most impressive and somewhat scary. It is a famous spot in Prairie Village on Falmouth, I had seen it in years past, but this year topped it. I was glad to be able to show it to SG1 because she had never seen it.
The pictures would not do it justice so I also took a video and will try to post it as well.



Now for the video!
Nope, it failed!

"That's a Costco No No"

This evening SG and I braved the icy roads and made our way to Costco, for our second or third trip this week, but who's counting? (I'm turning into my mother who seems to go to Costco on a daily basis)
The purpose of our trip was to price out snacky foods for a Junior League event that SG has to help plan. We did that, but also had some fun and took some pictures along the way. On our last photo, which was the Baja scooter, similar to a Vespa, a man came up to us and said, "That's a Costco NoNo", so we had to put the camera away.



I would not consider myself a food critic, but I would like to criticize the fruit on the bottom right of this fruit tray. Honeydew, seriously? It's a waste. It taste like watermelon rind and is disgusting. Please leave it out of any fruit salad or tray that is ever brought to me or if anyone is planning on sending me an Edible Arrangement!

Next up, I really wish I could eat peppers because they really are pretty and colorful and it seems like there are lots of different kinds, and all sorts of recipes for them.

Last up, the most exciting item we purchased tonight. That's right, pancake/waffle batter in a spray can! We sampled it from the people in hairnets, and there were only two packages left, so we had to buy one. SG has 2 and I have 1!

Old Man Winter, I'm NOT your fan

This is the view from my futon. I wish I could sit here and watch the snow, but I have to get out and about. Luckily SG is picking me up in her Diesel Jetta and we are going to hit the streets. She already hit a car on the way here, so that is out of her system and we should be good to go.
I hate cold weather and winter. I might like it better if I had appropriate shoes to wear in the weather, that might be something I need to work on, but as most of you know, I hate to wear socks.

Modern Day Heroes and my Roommates

Yep, not everyone lives with heroes but I do!

Great weekend

I had a great weekend. Got lots of stuff accomplished and am once again looking forward to Monday.
Yesterday, JG SG and I got free facials at the Philosophy counter at Nordstroms, it was wonderful! That was followed my some walking around the mall, getting some good deals at AE and of course, eating Original Pizza! Next up was a trip to Costco with the girls SG was nannying for. I also brought a friend to church, just like the always ask. Too bad it was on the evening when the pastor was a bit long winded.
The part of the day where I felt my old age showed, was at the house where SG was staying when we were attempting to set up the Wii and play Guitar Hero! It was a lot of fun, but I think the high school freshmen were appalled with how terrible we were.
MG and I dyed our hair last night. Mine does not look too different but MG's is a cute shade of red. We were a bit worried when the water was a KSU purple color.
Today was spent readying the house for the Tastefully Simple and Holiday gift show! It was a success and a great excuse to get the house cleaned.

Restaurant Rants Continued..

Today I had to work a double, and it is the Big 12 Championship game so it is a tourist stop. Which also means amateur day and night at the restaurant. It seems that people come out of the woodwork for these big games, and seems like they have never dined out.
Some rants from today:
Many OU people continued to ask for a Oklahoma City micro brew, that is only served at one restaurant in Bricktown. Nope, sorry, we don't have that.
The amount of men with beards that talk with their mouths full, while their beards are full of wing sauce, ranch, queso, you name it.
I witnessed another man sucking on a whole chicken wing bone in his mouth, and then spitting it out. For those of you that know me well, know that I do not eat meat off a bone, so this especially disgusted me.
People that don't tip. They always get to me. I understand the economy is tough, but maybe you should not order top shelf margaritas and tons of appetizers that you did not even touch.
That's all for now!

Very Disturbing Story

So, I heard a story recently about a friend of a friend's family. The family lives in St. Louis and has a 9 year old daughter. The daughter has a very large boa constrictor as a pet, he is never in a cage, just slithers around and curls up on her bed each night and sleeps with the 9 year old. To feed it, the give it a rat every 2-3 days. Recently, the snake stopped curling up and stopped eating, so they took it to the vet. The vet immediately put it to sleep and had to break the news to the family. It turns out that the snake was on a hunger strike for weeks, and was not coiling up, so he could stretch out. The vet said the snake was preparing to eat something about 70 pounds. The little girl is now upset, but I don't think she realizes her pet was planning to eat her. I hope they do not get her a new snake for Christmas, if so, SRS needs to be called.
Your thoughts?

Christmas

It is crazy to think that is already the second of December. Believe it or not, I actually feel like I have it somewhat together this holiday season. I have the tree up, some decorations up and most of my Christmas cards addressed and ready to send out tomorrow!
My shopping is another story, I am trying to find the perfect gift for each person, but at the same time trying not to spend a ton of money, with the lean year and economic times.

On another note, I am very thankful for all of the wonderful birthday wishes I received this week for my 27th birthday.

Off to play with the iPhone. If any of you have one and have any fun tips, please let me know, I am still learning!
