Rachel Ray

My mom is a card let me tell you. She watches entirely too much cooking network on tv. She got a few items for her kitchen for Christmas, so she went into this schpiel (sp?) acting like Rachel Ray, and my handy dandy little camera has a video clip function.... watch and laugh, we got three short clips...

I ran out of time on part three, I will upload it on here tomorrow (sorry folks)

It was a really nice Christmas, and I hope it was the same for you! I will be posting lots and lots of pictures very soon!

Very nice!!!!

Though I loved every thing I got, I have two favorites.... my Digital Camera, and I got a car stereo, I can finally get rid of the ghetto player... for almost two years now I have used a disc man plugged into my cigarette lighter and tape deck, well now the tape deck won't accept the tape... My mom rocks! I don't know how she knew, because I never complained to her, or mentioned that I wanted one... :)

I got her started on the italian charm bracelets, she loved it, I got her all kinds of charms! She really had a good Christmas too! My grandparents (my grandmother is the hardest person ever to buy for) seemed to like theirs too. I had a whole list of what not to buy... it is crazy but I won't go into the negative, they were happy so I am happy.

Dinner at Aunt elsies was awesome as usual! Steven and Tessa are engaged. (my baby cousin, Lar's youngest brother) It was so cute! We played some serious pictionary and Lar and I kicked some serious ass! I am telling you we were three quarters of the way through the game and every one else was still in the first section. LOL! $100,000 education and I can play pictionary!
I had like a Christmas week, Christmas at Dad's, Christmas with Lar Friday night, Christmas with Mom, Gail, Lar and her kids Christmas eve, Then Christmas with my Grandparents Christmas Morning, and Christmas with the rest of the family Christmas afternoon - evening! It was great. I don't think I am ready for it to be over. I love having my apartment all decked out with Snowmen, and lights. I love the feeling in the air. But alas another Christmas has come and gone. One day.... I will have my own children to make these memories with.

Well I have to be going ... I leave you with the jusicy tidbits...

Factoid: (useless of course!) Firehouses have circular stairways because the engines were at a time pulled by horses. The horses were stabled on the ground floor, and figured out how to walk up straight staircases.

so I found two about circular stair cases: Spiral staircases in medieval castles turn right as they ascend. This was so that (right-handed) knights defending the castle could more easily combat invading foes who were climbing the stairs.

I really want to see those videos! Right now my PC is acting like a dead guy so I have to wait, the joys of the net!!
Oh lady in pink, sounds interesting ;)
I now am thinking about an italian charm bracelet, yours is gorgeous and I love how you can add things that mean something to you. I'm curious about the artistic charms you have there I think one may be monet (unless i'm blind) and Da Vinci, I have seen a lot of Da Vinci's work for real, it was awesome. Nice to hear you got all those great gifts, I love the car stereo story. It will be nice when you have children, Christmas is a fun time for them. Yes I do have a daughter who is almost 10yo, surprise!! :D:D I don't post pics of her bc of all the nutty net explorers.
I had a good laugh at the problem solving sheet, it's so true really :)
Ok I shall get going because i'm taking up the comments, I feel very talkative at the moment, thanks for the laughs and links.
(great to hear you had a good Christmas, makes mine sound like toast lol)

Carmel, the Da Vinci picture I picked becuase of the movie ever after. I love that movie. When ever I get upset, I picture the scene when she goes into the ball all dressed like a fairy and says "just breath"

The Monet is my just favorite painting. I have a poster on my wall. It is addictive, each charm represents something.
