r-r-r-random!

* I have been able to come up with so much to blog about lately, until I sit down.  Then it's gone.  Long gone.

* My sister's blog is having issues.  Somehow the email that she was using to post is no longer associated with her blog.  Weird.  She has Z.E.R.O. access to her blog.  (since it was private)  And blogger is not so great in the area of support.  We can not find a place to contact them. At. All.  Lame.  When we type in the blog name to see what email it is associated with...  nothing.  She never gets the email.  So, so frustrating.  If anyone has any idea, we are totally open to new ideas!  She would LOVE to have her blog back again.

* Dustyn had been sick.  No fun!  I hope he gets feeling better.  And I hope he stays away from me!  :)

* We have bought so much candy lately!  WHY?  We never buy candy, but don't worry, we have a butt load now.  Funny enough - I probably still won't eat much of it.

* Last night I made pistachio brittle.  It is pretty good, but the nuts taste burnt.  I tried a new recipe.  I should have stuck to my old one.  Oh well.  I also made English Toffee.  It tastes pretty good.  I have only had a small bite, but it was good.

* It has been THREE (well... maybe two) years since I have made Candy at Christmas.  Sad, huh?  We did however make a TON of suckers last year (Heather - Lollipops . (:  )  I am hoping to get a lot more candy made and some ginger snaps for neighbor/friend gifts.  I hope it actually happens.  *think productive, think productive*

* My most favorite Christmas album during the Holidays is this one!  I listen to it every year ALL month! I love, love, love it.  I also love Hilary Weeks Christmas Album .  I have not been too impressed with Faith Hill's Christmas album .  But any Christmas music is good Christmas music!  Wait!!  I can't forget Relient K.  I love them too!  I love Christmas Music!

* I LOVE that they have pomegranate 7-up this time of year.  I love it, so, so good.

* I also love the Candy Cane kisses.  Good thing they are seasonal!  (apparently I am craving lots and lots of candy!)

* My super cute niece, Hads, is turning FOUR tomorrow!  Can you even believe it?  I can't. I can not believe it has been four years.  JaKell was pregnant at the same time I was pregnant.  Time flies.

* Every year we get a new ornament.  This year we bought our ornament at Disneyland!  (Since that was the most exciting thing we did all year!)  If my camera was charged I would recap all the ornaments, just for you!  I just might.  Soon!

* Every time we put up our tree it gets smaller and smaller, I swear.  We just have one of those small 6 foot trees from Wallymart.  You know, the ones that have a 2 foot stem on the bottom, so really, the tree part is 4 feet...  maybe.  I laugh every year.  I do love our tree though.

* Thanksgiving was great!  We spend it with my dad's side of the family.  We ate a lot of good food, played a lot of fun games, and visited with a lot of really cool people!

* One of our favorite games to play is Boxers and Briefs.  It is seriously one of the best games ever.  We love it.  Last year we got it at Wallymart for like ten bucks.  You can see how much it is now.  C-R-A-Z-Y!  I can not believe that.  I almost want to sell mine, but it is far too fun.  Oh yes, Arianne, believe me...  we are soooo playing it on New Years!  Wooohooo!  Seriously though.  So fun!  If you can get your hands on one for under $140.00, do it.

* I am suppose to be folding laundry.  But I guess that can wait, right?  :)

* What is your all time favorite Christmas movie?  Ours for sure is Elf!  We could watch it over and over again!  Seriously, the best.

* Have you heard enough about Christmas?  Ha ha!  I am sooo excited!  Wooohooo!

I just have to say that my all time christmas cd is also Hilary Week's Christmastime. I was looking for it the other day to listen to it, and then I had an awful flash back....I couldn't remember where I had put it for the life of me, then I realized...SAD DAY, I accidently left it in the CD player on the car we sold last February. It wasn't until the next day after our car was long gone that I remembered where it was....when I realized that I had done that the other day, I almost cried. Seriously, that is how i survive christmas, listening to her music. Now, I have no money and lack of Christmas spirit. BOO HOO! I can't believe it.....

thanks for posting on my blog since I can't :( I spent that entire day...and I am not kidding, my poor kids. I was on the computer stressing about it and tryied everything I could imagine. CamRee's is also that way, I can't post to it, but it showd up under hte right e-mail like it was suppose to but still says its private and blogger is lame, they e-mailed me back and told me where to find their help pages...thats it, stupid! I have tried off and on the last two days. I have given up. don't know what else to do. Just upsetting, three years of journaling/posting lost (well on my end anyway) and I dont have access to all my blogs I check :(

Home made candy sounds yummy...I made carmels last year but thats about it...you did to if I remember right. Have you tried the hersheys kisses "mint truffles" YUM!!! they are soooo addicting.

We are ready for Christmas but I hate not having the kids here...thats what Christmas is for :( anywho I am off to bed. Its been a horrible night at work etc.

Hope all is good there. Thanks for taking CamRee while we were down she loves it and it means soooo much to her. She looks forward to that time with you when we are there and always asks if she can go.

I will tell Hadi Happy Birthday too...I agree time flies...my baby is "4" its so sad... but she is fun and I love it. I will have to e-mail you pics instead of posting...but thats better than nothin'.

Goodnight. Love ya
Kelly

I am a HUGE fan of candy cane kisses!! Shazam, they are so good. They remind me of the mints we had at our wedding. I keep eating them by the handful. I'm going to have to buy bigger pants if I keep this up. :) You're right-- it's a darn good thing they're seasonal!

That sucks about Jakell's blog! I wish I knew what to do.

It is fun to go through your 'random' posts, it's like a glimpse into your mind for a few seconds!
