Why would anyone-

bring someone delicious, homemade, chocolate chip cookies this time of year with diets in full swing?

Devil friends!

On a side note, Steel Magnolias is on TV and I am in heaven!

"Nothing like a good piece of ass!"

Love it!

"My colors are blush and bashful."

BEST. MOVIE. EVER!!!!

Well, best chick movie, at least.

-except maybe Gone With The Wind

... or Bridgett Jones Diary

... or The Sweetest Thing

... hmmm, I guess there are a lot of good chick flicks, but Steel Magnolias certainly rocks the house!
:)

Mix margaritas when the eggnog's gone-

I am in Austin, drinking coffee spiked with Irish cream and hanging out with the family.

Man, I really love these people. My sisters are funny, beautiful, intelligent, amazing friends. One is currently incubating a nephew to be named, Connor. My dad is the kindest, most thoughtful, most giving and most fun loving man who maintains his amazing spirit whilst working too hard for too many years. He loves his family a lot and he would do anything for us. My brother in law is farther testament to how great of a guy my dad is; my sister only settled for the best! He is a wonderful person and I am so glad he has joined our family! My dad's lady is awesome too- but she has her own family stuff and won't be over until dinner tonight.

Mom and the littlest sister are far away in El Paso which is a bummer- but today I am thankful for who I have here and cannot believe how lucky I am to call these folks family!

Gotta go help make peppermint ice cream.

Merry Christmas from the family!
:)

Opps!

He always steals my drinks and it drives me crazy! He seems to think that whatever I have is better than what he's got. It drives me crazy!

Sometimes I make limeade for him; fresh lime juice, ice, water and Splenda.

He came to visit me on Sunday, his birthday. He got food poisoning Monday afternoon and has been sick ever since. I made him limeade this evening and he drank it all. Then he came into the kitchen a few hours later to see how the chicken and dumplings was coming along.

He saw my glass on the counter. He thought it was limeade and tried to steal a great big gulp-

BUT-

it was a margarita, a strong one at that.

Poor baby.

Opps!

I couldn't help but to laugh...
