Whoo-Weee!

So I sold my car last night. One of the mechanics who worked on it bought it for his dad. I sold it for a song (basically getting my money back on the cost of the work they'd already done on it) but I'm just glad to be done with it. It's a little sad to think about because you know, I've had that car since I was a senior in college. It took me a lot of places. But it also left me stranded a lot of places and that's why it's difficult to be TOO sad. Besides, I know it's going to a good home to someone who can take better care of it and put the work into it that I couldn't afford. And it doesn't hurt that the fella is a smokin' hot dude. Hoo-boy, is he one fine male specimen. LOL

In other news, I go Sunday to pick up my sisters--correction my NEW car. That is, if Sis2 actually got all the paperwork done that she said she'd do. She has to file for a lost title and transfer it to my name and she said she'd do that yesterday but she has a history of not following through. If she had, I'd have had a car a long time ago. lol
But all that aside, here are the pictures I promised...

Emmy got busy Sunday night baking cookies for Santa. Nana got her started and the deserted her so needless to say, the cookies were way over-floured and not as tasty as they could've been. I tried to help but Emmy wanted me to videotape her and we did "Rachel Ray" of her baking the cookies. At least she enjoyed the process even if she did decide the cookies weren't good enough to leave Santa the following night. She left him sausage balls and haystacks instead. ;-)

Alyssa and I had a lot of fun, too. She's such a sweetie-pie.

And an angel, if you couldn't tell by this shot. ;)


Somehow Monday morning everyone--well, all us girls, anyway--ended up in Nana's bed for a while. Started out with Sis2, Mama and Alyssa and Emmy and I sort of drifted in there. After Mama and Sis2 went to make breakfast, Lyssa, Emmy and I hung out a while longer just relaxing.


And of course, Libby had to get some sugars in.


But before too long, it was time for Lyssa and her parents to get ready to go. They had a family thing for some of Goofus's folks to get to. Couldn't resist one last photo op before they left, though.


More tomorrow, if ya'll think you can stand it! hehehe

Congrats on selling the car! Here's hoping sis followed through and you'll be zipping around in style this time next week.

Nice photos of you and the nieces, too!

I'm Lost

Boy.  Last night was the most intense 2.5 hours of my LIFE. Well, the part of my life that I relegate to television viewing, anyway. Last night, as you may have heard, was THE END for LOST. If you haven't been watching it for the past six years, what were you doing with your life? LOL No, I know. It was one of those things you were either fully emersed in or you didn't want to expend the energy it took to follow it. Because it did take a lot of energy to follow it. And as much as I was held captivated by it, I am really too stupid to really full grasp it. No, seriously. I've read the discussion boards. I've followed other blogs about it. And I'd always be like, "Why didn't I catch that?" or "I completly missed that." My brain is merely too simple to comprehend all the little mysteries and tie-ins and connections that were hidden throughout six seasons of this show. It was no different last night. Honestly, the finale was gripping an...

Me and the boob tube

Ever met someone who is passionate about her TV shows? Well, if not, you have now. Yeah, I'm probably fairly sad with how involved I become with some shows but believe me...I know some folks who are a LOT worse than me. Just trust me on this. I have maybe a handful of shows that I watch without fail whenever they're on and set my VCR to tape if I'm out. (Yeah, I still have a VCR...and I will until they no longer make 'em) Monday night is Medium night. Tuesday night is BB6 in the summer Charmed on TNT in fall. Wednesday is Lost and Alias (in regular season anyway) Thursday night is BB6 in summer and Will and Grace in fall. Friday night sucks since they cancelled Joan of Arcadia. Saturday night is BB6 in summer and Trading Spaces. Sunday night is Desperate Housewives and The 4400 in summer. Everyday things are Gilmore Girls on ABC Family, 30 Minute Meals on Food Network and Bold and the Beautiful. Last night, of course, was BB6. Now, I'm not one to enjoy many reality ...

Ten Things That Make Me Happy Today

Image
1.) Chuck . Chuck makes me very happy. I'm still flying high from the time I spent with him last night. Seriously, it's like the second Zachary Levi walks on screen and gives that trademark smile my heart goes all gooey in my chest and my lips curve up all dreamy smile-ish and for that one hour each Monday night I'm on cloud nine. Pitiful, no? 2.) Her. 'Nuff said. 3.) My friends. All of 'em. Ms. B who I only get to see once a month and chat on the phone every few weeks. E who talks me into field trips to Starbucks so that we can blame each other for being bad. Trix who hated the way Medium ended, too. (And always sends me the awesomest handmade cards.) BFF who calls once a month to update me on the ever shifting drama of her life. (She's doing much better, by the way. Goes back to work next week.) Jen who  once--in a round about way--compared me to the awesome Pioneer Woman. (And who's love story to her fireman still gives me hope that true love real...
