I am here

Gosh it's been long periods between posts for me lately. I've been busy with Christmas shopping and getting a bunch of stuff done here at work for the end of the year.
I canNOT believe it is almost 2006! Crazy.

Well since I last left you - I have started Narnia, I'm just two or three chapters in, but still it's really good - very imaginative - and it's written in "British jargon" - such as: "that was jolly rotten of you". So I get to read it in an English accent - just like Harry Potter.
SPEAKING of Harry Potter - my Christmas present came in the mail yesterday - and Trav let me open it early - IT'S MY HARRY POTTER SCARF!!!! It is SO freakin cool! It looks EXACTLY like what they wear in the movie. It has the Gryffindor patch and everything - so no one forgets which house I'm in. Wow I am a total nerd.

I'm making a clay clown for my Granny for Christmas. I'll post pics as soon as I'm done (he just needs one more arm and then some hair and a hat and he can get baked - which I am hoping to do tonight). When I asked my Gram what she wanted for Christmas she said " a gift card for Walmart". There is no way I am ever getting my Grandma a freakin gift card - to Walmart no less. Not that there is anything wrong with Walmart - but she works there for god sakes - and it would be like just buying her freakin a bag of denture glue and toilet paper or something of that nature. And lastly because - that's what she gets me for Christmas - so why not keep my $25 and not waste this little "gift" exchange. pointless.
She collects clowns, so I decided that would be fun and creative to make one. Let's just hope she likes it. This Granny (my mom's mom) is all about the dollar amount with most things - so here's hoping she appreciates the craft not the cent in this situation.
I will need some help naming him though. Wait until you see him to submit suggestions - I named Steve only once he was finished so I'm going to keep that going.

I finished painting all but one of the naked necklace pendants that I baked over two weeks ago. They turned out pretty cute. I'll try to post pics of those too.

On another note - my cousin Brittney has lost her damn mind. She ran out of the house after an argument with her mom on Saturday - and didn't come home. She ended up staying the night at her boyfriend's house. Her and her boyfriend went shopping with the $100 that Brittney was given to buy Christmas presents for her brother and her secret santa person. She spent $60 on a DVD player and movies for her jobless boyfriend and bought lunch and dinner for the both of them. She DID buy her brother some toy cars - at the dollar store.
I called her cell phone on Sunday morning because she was supposed to come and help Trav and I get some extra filing done at my work, she called me back and I told her that I was going to come and pick her up and we were going to talk about what she did too.
So we talked all day on Sunday while we were working. Everything seemed like it was going to be ok. Then she called on Monday and asked if she could stay at my house that night because she did some thing that she was going to get yelled at really bad for and she didn't want to take it that night. So I told her yeah but to have her Mom call me. The "thing" that happened was she got fired from her job from stealing cash - a total of $40. Nice.
So she ended up not coming to my house - she ran out of the house again( but this time with no money and no cell phone - she came back about 45 mins later). This girl needs some serious Dr. Phil action.

If anyone is looking for Nancy, my favorite Mother-in-law, she has changed her blog to : www.manicwillow.blogspot.com
so you can read her new stuff on there. I figured I would post it because Rocky was looking for her. She didn't disappear - she just needed a change.
Don't we all.
