Christmas Bloggin' 

Christmas was good this year. Friday we drove to Stratford to be with Adam's family. Michelle and her boyfriend Brandon watched Lily so Adam and I could go down to the neighborhood bar with his parents. Adam was crazy that night...having 7 drinks and 4 shots in about 2 1/2 hours. SCARY. Adam really doesn't get hangovers but he got one this time. The highlight had to be when he did the "statue of liberty" shot and missed a step so he burned his finger on the fire.
We had our Christmas Eve dinner at like 4 o'clock Saturday because Adam's mom had to work til about 2:30pm. Then we had to pack up our things and drove back to point. Adam dropped Lily and I off at my parents house because he desperately needed a nap and I wanted to hang out with my parents and Steve & Family.
Christmas day started at 8am so we had to wake up Lily much earlier than she'd like to get up. The presents around the tree were crazy. I love the Bamberg Christmas it's so outrageous! Lily got lots and lots of adorable presents that we've been opening and assembling little by little. Mark, Steve, Nick, Matt Danny and I all went to see "Cheaper by the Dozen 2" at 2:45pm. I took 4 pages of notes in the theatre! Sweet. We had to do Christmas dinner buffet style because we outgrew eating around the kitchen table (and Cindy and family weren't even in town yet!)
Today they all got up and went shopping at 6am. I met them at Perkins at 11ish and went to a couple of stores before we went back to my parents house. Got Lily and ADORABLE Care Bears Scrapbook for 50% off. We sat around all day trying to get rid of all the leftovers of food and snacks (not a chance). Steve and family left at like 6ish and Cindy and family are coming tonight at about 10pm! Craziness.
I'm hoping Steve & Family will come back for New Years like they are contemplating because I'm sure all my friends will be celebrating at the bar (which we can't obviously do with Lily)

Coat Frustration 

Know, I don't know if this is just my migraine talking but I am SO frustrated with things right now.
I placed and order so I could get a trivia coat by Christmas (It's Adam's parents present to me) First I find out I'm not going to get it by Christmas because someone else who ordered with me paid too late. Then, the coat I wanted was discontined so I have to search and find another good one (keep in mind I hate decisions and picking out the first jacket took me quite a while) It would be easier if I could see the coats in person of course - the little picts online aren't too helpful in my opinion. So beings the back-and-forth emails with questions to the company...

Trivia Madness 

Trivia on the brain. Yeah, for me it's normal but lately it's the majority of what I'm doing...Well, at least while Lily is being cooperative or sleeping. Worked really hard on this Warm up hour & snippet and got them all correct for a change - EVEN THE SNIPPETS! Still 10 pts away from Shaun who's leading as usual. Ugh. Also, I've been trying to revamp the Dadatome and make it easier to use & I'm trying to get rid of useless stuff on it. Caught up on my normal shows & now I'm doing lots of random cartoons which is "fun"
...more in a bit...diaper changing break...

Handwriting...but not easy to sign name with mouse

Survivor finally 

Well, Adam and I finally got to go to the Frankliners house to watch Survivor tonight. We haven't been able to go for the past few weeks because of various reasons including sickness which really sucked because it's my only weekly time out of the house that's really planned. The only thing that sucks is that the last ep of this season is Sunday. Bah.
Otherwise not much happened today. Had a killer headache so I kinda let Lily run wild in the living room for a little while. Not a good idea...there was kleenex, twizzlers, animal crackers EVERYWHERE. Living room was very trashed. Just finished cleaning and it's 3:30am as usual. Up to date with my shows except I guess I missed another Reunion but I swear it wasn't on here because I checked the listings last week. No big deal I'm currently getting it but I already watched this weeks so it'll be weird but oh well.
I tried to download google desktop search and I don't have enuf RAM to run it. Frustrating but then again I need a new motherboard or motherboard battery anyways. Every time I shut down my computer basically I have to run setup and tell it to search for the hard drive and update the date & time. Steve says that's a battery prob so I'm hoping it's replaceable. Really wishing I could tap into my laptop ;)
Well, that's it for now.

Ugh Blogging Hiatus again 

Hey there everyone. I'm on a crazy cleaning kick tonight so it's 4am and I thought I'd blog for a change...not really fair that I read everyone else's blogs almost daily but never right in mine. Lysol is fun ladies and gents.
Went out tonight and got most of my Christmas shopping done. All I have left is my parents and my "secret Santa" present to buy for. Can't believe I got it all done in one night in 3 stores! woohoo go me.
I have this killer cold that is absolutely no fun. My whole house has been sick (hence the lysol) since thanksgiving (thanks bro) Took Lily to the doctor twice in a week first because she was very sneezy, coughy, runny nosey and was playing with her ear ALOT so I thought she might have an ear infection. Nope. Second time because her eye got an infection in it and still had all the cold syptoms. Almost went the doc myself today because I was having chest pains when I would breathe but it got better this morning so I'll hold off.
Not much else going on really. The trivia theme was announced and it's "The Odd Contest" as in "The Odd Couple" That should be interested I think...not too exciting though since I really know nothing about the odd couple. Been throwing myself into trivia these days...trying to watch LOTS of movies in my free time (free time usually being between 11pm and 4am (when Adam and Lily are asleep) Everyone else has been super busy so our movie count is low this year. I've also been totally up-to-date on all my shows I take notes on - quite the improvement from last year!
I have to find somewhere to volunteer ASAP. One of the requirements for my housing is that anyone who isn't working full-time has to do 8hrs of public service a month. Of course I didn't know about it and we've been here a year so I might have to do 16hrs/month for the next year *crossing fingers that I don't* The problem is finding a place I can volunteer after 5pm on weekdays or on weekends. I could be a bellringer now I guess but damn those people annoy me and I'm sick enuf already.
I love oreos.
I have a mysterious cut on my foot that's bleeding? eek.
Nite Nite.
