I intend to make you one of my best years.  Living with purpose, and all that jazz.  I spent 16 years of my life waiting for the other shoe to drop, and when it finally did, I expected to put them both on and run…instead, I feel like I’m still hopping around. Waiting for life to happen.  No more… I’m finished waiting.  So here is my declaration that this is the year that I have always wanted, where I become on the outside the person who has been patiently waiting on the inside for so long.  Here’s to you, 2010. We’re gonna kick ass.

Well, Thanksgiving was lovely, I spent lots of time with the fam.. Oddly enough I
have no pictures, except for the pie. I guess we know where my head was. I swear I gained at least 5 pounds this week. Today is supposed to be my diet-start day, but I forgot about it until after I’d made eggs in a basket and hashbrowns. Not exactly health conscious.  Must. Do. Better.

So with all the Christmas things happening, I know that there are a million things I have to do to prepare… first off, make some money.  Sooo, I simply MUST submit an invoice today.  Also on the list, shaving my poor Shih-tzu, Annie. BethyGirl1 tried to groom her this past week, the result of which is a dog who looks like a lion. I have to even the widdle baby out.  Dad got me a new printer, so I’ll be setting up a little office area in my room. Cleaning the living area and the kitchen as well. I think I can do it…I just can’t decorate the mess.

I was supposed to go out tonight but haven’t heard a peep from anyone. Perhaps I’ll just stay in and watch Christmas movies!
Tonight: National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation on AMC
               How the Grinch Stole Christmas on ABC

Y’all better not be eatin that pie!
Mom yells from the den
while Dad and I giggle
and tell her to finish the internet.

This should surprise me way more than it does.

..now has free WiFi. This is good for several reasons.

I can’t get any work done at home. For some reason I just end up playing Monopoly online…or worse, facebooking. It’s a little more shameful out in public to waste time like that. If I look busy, I have to actually be accomplishing something. In this case, it’s simply blogging, but legit because I’m waiting for an email from a client.

The girls are doing homework at the table next to me. Ok that’s a lie. They just finished their homework. BethyGirl1 is writing the entire script of every Halo game that’s ever been released. She currently has 66 pages. I’m not sure what the benefit is, but she gets a great amount of enjoyment from it.
BethyGirl2 is reading a Twilight book. Oh how I despise Twilight…. I don’t think I’ll ever understand the phenomenon. I mean, I get that 12 year olds enjoy it, because it was written for that age group. But it never fails to surprise me that educated adults go gaga over it.

I start hosting Live Trivia Challenge tomorrow night. Should be fun, maybe I’m destined to be a game show host! Watch out, Drew Carey, I’m coming to getcha! Now if I can only get the sound system to work properly… I need some good luck wishes fo sho.

So I got a strange itch to get my arse up on this fine Sunday and go to the grocery.

I came back with the following items:

• 1 package of peppered beef jerky
• 1 tub of guacamole
• 1 tub of salsa con queso
• 1 bag tostitoes
• 12 pack of root beer
• 1 bottle Mad Housewife White Zin

Just thought I’d share.

 Poor BarOb.  Nobody will remember his little jaunt to New Orleans because of balloon boy.
