PL 2013 bonus week

so, if you know anything about me, you know I get stuck on chronology. like seriously stuck. things MUST go in order.

so, at any rate, week 52 of 2013 left me with 3 remaining days in the year. what to do with them? do I just put them in the start of my 2014 book? AAAAGGGHHHHH!!!!! no. I just couldn’t handle that. I need my year all neatly tied up with a bow, ALL in the same book.

and so I made an extra week.

well, almost.

I have 2 empty slots that I’m hoping to fill with some pics that my MIL took.

saturday: yes, I know. another thing that drives me crazy. but I had this photo from saturday night and no place to put it, and I needed to fill slots, so here it is. my burger, the ‘captain neon’ and cajun tots, from our dinner out with kat and cole in centralia. it was SOOO good. I’ve been fantasizing about going back and having it again ever since.

sunday: somewhere in southern oregon or northern california, on I-5. it was a pretty easy trip, other than the spilled ice cream in the car…

monday: we were at gramma and papa’s house, and micah was convinced that means swimming. dave finally made him go put his feet in the water to see how it felt. he still wanted to swim because apparently, he “likes cold water”… not happening. also interesting, he refused to step where the sun was shining because he was afraid he’d burn his feet. LOL. there wasn’t much chance of that happening.

tuesday: we had our ‘christmas morning’ and opened presents. my gift from dave was down there waiting for me. this awesome LONG, down, ‘soccer mom’ coat. I love it!!! sadly, it was too warm to wear it.

also tuesday: a little odd, but for some reason, I decided to flip my part. for the first time ever. no really.

hoping for a couple more, but that’s 2013!

did these people go to school? ever?

sometimes i am just totally flabbergasted by how horribly some people write. i'm not sure if it's just that spelling and grammatical issues come easily for me, or if other people are just really BAD! i find it to be the worst in product reviews online. this morning i was reading some reviews of a chest freezer i'm thinking of getting. one went on and on about the poor quality of the 'unite'. repeatedly using the word 'unite'. seriously, people!!! here's another thing i've noticed. it's always the negative reviews too. what's with that? are people just so pissed off about the bad product they just got screwed on that they feel the need to rant (without pausing for breath or editing) in a negative product review? or is it just that people with bad writing skills are more likely to be compelled to leave a negative review? or are people with bad writing skills more likely to get screwed with the bad product? i don't get it. but ...

i'm going to have to take more pictures soon, i'm running out. christmas movies! yes, one of them is a bob the builder movie, but the kids deserve to get in on the festivities too, right? we also have the polar express , but i'm not sure where that was when i was taking the pictures. and a charlie brown christmas , but that's on vhs and our vcr broke, so it will have to be replaced. i want to just keep building our collection each year. there are so many fabulous movies! and speaking of, i promised living-under-a-rock-kate a list of the absolute MUST SEE christmas movies... obviously, the ones in the picture (well, you can watch the bob the builder one if you REALLY want to, but i don't really consider that a MUST SEE!). in addition: it's a wonderful life, miracle on 34th street (the real old one, not the new one with the annoying girl), a christmas story, frosty the snowman, santa claus is coming to town, the year without a santa claus, christmas with the...

for my not-so-american friends

i didn't have an actual roll w/ the green plaid on it, but i found a refill and an empty roll in my junk drawer (yeah, i know, that should tell me something). but even the empty one says 'scotch' on it. there you go! SCOTCH TAPE!

Football!!!

so last night at 10, we got a pleasant surprise. a coworker texted dave and asked if he wanted 4 tickets to the seahawks game. after some quick thinking about who and where and how and all that, we got it sorted out and definitely accepted. so today after church, shane,my dad, myself and micah all experienced our first professional football game. (it was dave's second). if you're doing the math there, micah doesn't require a ticket which is why he got to go. layla was happily deposited with my mother for a nap and some 'school'. the first half of the game was great, but the second half got boring because the packers were the only ones doing anything exciting. micah napped through the whole second half - dave did too. well, not the whole second half, but parts for sure. shane decided that seahawks games weren't quite as exciting as he thought they were going to be (he's been lobbying to go to one for a while now), but it was a pretty good deal because he got ...

blessed with good oral health!

well, i made it another 6 months with no cavities! i had a dentist appointment today. my second in six months, but prior to that, i don’t think i’d been in 4+ years. oops. i was much less nervous for this appointment than i was for the last one. last time i figured my luck had run out and because i’d been bad about seeing the dentist, this time i’d really ‘pay’ for it. but no. other than a little excessive scraping of tartar (4 years’ worth), everything was fine. around the time i turned 20, i pretty much assumed, every time i went to the dentist, that this was finally my time for a cavity. i mean, how long really, can one person go without ANY cavities? well, now i’m kind of over that and figure that maybe my teeth are just impenetrable or something. at any rate, every time the dentist comes in at the end of my cleaning, pokes around for a minute and tells me my teeth look great, i breathe a sigh of relief and feel tremendous gratitude for my good teeth. the no cavities thing is only ...
