Christmas Nummings



Well, we might have actually had it the day after Christmas, whenI actually felt like cooking, but nonetheless, Christmas dinner was delicious. The turkey roulade came out really good, roulades are my newest things. and everything else was good too, we did take our 'annual" pic in fornt of the tree though on Christmas day.

Happyland, Raleigh, NC


Everyone knows about this place around here, so we had to go see it, so with hot choclate in hand and xmas tunes cranking we went off to search for it, and we found it. It's pretty amazing.
Note the spaceship * it had smoke action* spongebob's bikini bottom set, a moving green dinosaur, and many other things that came out too blurry. I especially love the Santa doing a water ski jump with the shark coming up form behind.

My birthday post ( 2nd time around)

So, my family actually did call me, in fact my mother called right after i posted the first post, but nothing was much different from our conversations in the past. I've come to expect no less. My FIL, sister, and MIL called throughout the day, which was ncie as well, especially since i have not spoken to my sister since labor day, I think, possibly before that. It's jsut damn near impossible to get it touch with hre, between her work schedule and whatnot. i did learn my 18yr old nephew CJ :)got his driver's license, finally. woohoo! now for the 17yr to do it as well. LOL.I also had a few surprises in my mail bo, and I'll post that pic in a bit. Chris and I went to an irish pub I found called the Hibernian
and the food was aweosme, we loved the cozy atmosphere, dark wood, and the staff were friendly. I'm thinkin of writing a review, heehee. anyway, we had ballymaloe mushrooms, which were two mushrooms center to center filled with garlic cream cheese, and battered, deep fried and served with a creamy horseradish sauce. My only complaint, i would have liked a wee bit more horseradish, but they were awesome.

as you can see.

and then i had Guiness irish Stew, and Chris had Shepard's Pie, with lamb, no less. Both were excellant, and I couldn't finish mine.


and then onto dessert. I did nto take a picture, as i think the staff thougth i was weird enough taking pics of my food. LOL, but needless to say it was very good. I had an orange choclate guiness cake. Now i am not so much into choclate desserts. i prefer a piece of choccie to osmething choccie flavored, but this was divine, over the top rich, but not over the top sweet, and the hint of Guiness and orange was spectacular. Are you hungry yet??? heehee.

so, onto the pressies. anyone who knows me, knows I love Eeyore, so Eeyore pressies are always appropriate. and the fam obliged me in this obsession as well.

so all in all, it turned out to be a filling and satisfying day.

Yet another birthday

Yes, today is the day, it is the day that I am over the hump of 30dom and smack dab on my way to 40dom. I turn 36 today, and I don't really feel any different, or any older, although I can attest to the fact that I do feel older than 26. The bones and the myucles moan and groan a lot more than they did back then. So, this is also the first birthday I am away from all of my family and friends, online friends are the best really, they remember this stuff, and it's so easy to snd an email, a comment or a quick note somewhere, and some even send real honest to goodness cards. I never got to get to the mailbox yesterday, but it almost seems moot. My family hadn't called, and while it's still fairly early, you think my Mother would have called, most liely she forgets what day it is entirely. If it's not right in fornt of her face, then it doesn't exist. So, we shall see what the day borngs, on the family front. I guess I'm musing over this and contemplating it more because I am alone, I have to say while a nice break, not working sucks,it definitely keeps the mind and spirit occupied. So, off I go marching into late 30dom, barrels stocked, and guns a blazing, yet quietly just the same, just the same.

I saw this guy at a wedding a while back.

funny pictures
moar funny pictures

Best of both worlds


forme that is. fried foods, and pickles. I love both, so why not combine them?
I had heard about these little chippie jewels, and Chris and i went to a pub not far form here. Our first restaurants eat out here :) I saw these on the menu and had to have them. They taste pretty much like dill flavored potato chips, but greasier and saltier and so much more yummier. I forsake the ranch dipping sauce and went full blown dill. I was in heaven!!! I have to have more! LOL.

I agree

Who Should Paint You: Gustav Klimt

Sensual and gorgeous, you would inspire an enchanting portrait..
With just enough classic appeal to be hung in any museum!

I cna't beeive it, I don't eat it!

You Are a Ham Sandwich

You are quiet, understated, and a great comfort to all of your friends.
Over time, you have proven yourself as loyal and steadfast.
And you are by no means boring. You do well in any situation - from fancy to laid back.

Your best friend: The Turkey Sandwich

Your mortal enemy: The Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Could I be violent?

There's a Chance You Could Be Violent

Overall, you're a pretty chill person - and you have a good handle on your emotions.
Sometimes your anger gets the best of you, and end up regretting how you act.
Try to curb your temper more often. It only has to get out of control once to do some damage.

A flash in time

Somewhere, Kevin Federline is laughing. An out-of-shape, out-of-touch Britney Spears delivered what was destined to be the most talked about performance of the MTV Video Music Awards — but for all the wrong reasons.

Kicking off the show Sunday night with her new single, ‘Gimme More’, Spears looked bleary and unprepared, much like her recent tabloid exploits on the streets of Los Angeles. She walked through her dance moves with little enthusiasm. She appeared to have forgotten the art of lip-synching. And, perhaps most unforgivable given her once-taut frame, she looked embarrassingly out of shape.


That's a quote from some news group. I have to say. I was watching this, and i truly felt embarrassed for her.
I have no idea what her general problem was, but she looked horrible, and I'm not talking body wise. I think it was pretty mean for the blogosphere to be attacking her body. Of course she doesn't look like this pic from the 2001 VMA's anymore.



She's 5 years older, mother of two, who is whacked out in the head and having serious mental issues. I do have to agree that she shouldn't have been wearing what she was wearing, she was trying too hard with that. Her hair is horrible, I don;'t know what hairdresser she uses, and i know she has little of it, and most of it is extensions, but shit girl, you have money, there are people who do GOOD jobs with shit like that!


and she definitely wasn't prepared, performance wise. She did indeed look like a stiff ass mannequin with no personality. Whether it was due to a performance change ( supposedly some routine by Criss Angel, the Mind freak fuck-up was ditched last minute) her back-up dancers had no problem getting the new routine down pat and banged it out. She used to be a good lip-syncher, that certainly fell by the wayside, why even try, really. We all know you don't sing anymore, remember when Milli Vanilli was outed and shamed for this ( course they didn't sing at all, but how do we really know Britney really records either?) She was otherwise occupied and looked really bored, or nervous, or perhaps medicated. She looked like her boots hurt really bad and she coulodn't walk right either.



I am certainly no fan of hers, nor will I ever be, but I do concur that whatever success she could have achieved by this performance, was ruined and thrown by the wayside by sheer unprofessional ism. Grow up, Britney, do your fucking job, raise your poor kids, and realize that your high life career is over. Go gently into that good night and retire before your kids are old enough to see how embarrassing you really are.

I'z be chillin'



Well, our doggie that passed away last year started to ruin this chair, he mushed the side arm cushion, and started to much the pillow, and Moby has decided to take a liking to it, and has managed to nearly decimate the pillow's uprightedness. Sigh, what we do four pets. he sure looks like he is having fun though, right







and in this one, I love the tail action, but he was getting pissed at me calling him.
