2012 Round up

The clock is a ticking! Everything seems to be packed nicely, and by nicely I mean CRAMMED into the pack. I'll be a wrinkled mess for the next few weeks.

Since I'm uber stressed and need to do a ton of shit naturally I have decided to abandon it all and write my final blog post of 2012.

I'll spare the details in an effort to conserve time. Basically this year I won some, I lost some....but the past 6 months alone made up for it all.

I'll sleep well tonight.

Merry Christmas to all!

Xoxoxo

Holy shit!

5 more sleeps!

The next few days are going to be crazy so naturally I have decided that I have finish my infinity scarf RIGHT NOW!!!!! Let me be clear, I don't wear infinity scarves....and likely never will. And i just started it two days ago.

Anyhoo....I am mostly ready. All the important stuff anyway. Long underwear, a passport and anti trots medication. What more does a person need?

But seriously....I have NO fucking clue what to pack. It's shameful.

Moving on and falling in love again.

I have kissed a LOT of frogs in my life. It was worth it.

Without those missteps I never would have been introduced to apple tv which facilitated my new found love.

God bless us.

Leonard!

SO GOOD!

I hope that when I am 135 years old that I can still move around like that guy.

Look how excited Dan looks!

Well worth the 10 buck Keith's

Christmas crazies

Tree is up and decorated. Outdoor light are up. Gifts are purchased, wrapped and hidden. Dinner menu planned.

Just because I'm going to be in the air Christmas Day it doesn't mean I can't have an early Christmas.....and really, it starts for me tomorrow cause Dan and I are off to Leonard Cohen. Wahoo!

Christmas for the girls and I will be 2 days before I leave. I am really looking forward to this Christmas. Different as I won't be seeing them at all during this holiday. But, that's life, things change and you just have to embrace it and make it a really good time.

And then? PERU! Huzzah!

It's been a long time since I have been so excited for something! I forgot how good it feels.

Figures

After coming out of a year long bout of anti socialism I am digging the interaction with adults again. Not having much interest in the bar scene there is nothing that tickles me more than the potluck. And let's face it, my friends can cook. Got lots of advice on my upcoming trip AND was introduced to the greatest game ever....SPACETEAM!!!! I even made my kid get the app so we could play together.

To facilitate this outing, my dear eldest daughter babysat. This was not done out of the goodness of her heart but because she's my slave thanks to her new phone. The cool thing is she understands the arrangement and never gives me grief....but now she's clocking hours.

But as always, you get what you pay for as my crack team of Kid #3 and Kid #2 outdid themselves this time.

Being the youngest of three girls I know how shit goes down. I can understand horsing around, having fun. What I don't understand is what would possess one kid to allow the other one to draw a mustache and goatee on her face....with a purple SHARPIE. The good news is that she was on her own at school today. The onus was on her to explain why she looked like the child of Barney and Guy Fawkes. The bad news is I had to sit in a dentist's waiting room with her for half an hour People were very kind, though I knew they secretly judged.

I really don't know what irks me more. The mustache fiasco or the fact that my eldest is obviously the shittiest babysitter ever.
