Mystery Dinner

So my aunt Sandra invited me to a mystery dinner. I was named Butch Chastity and was deemed the villain by act 3. But it turned out differently in the end. I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone else, but here are the pictures from the lovely evening.

Birthday Greats!!!

This year has been a wonderful birthday. I don't want to sound mercenary but the gifts were great! My best friend DiVeena gave me two movies, Charly and The Dance. My parents gave me a remote control for my laptop. And my adorable brother Evan sent me the full firefly TV series on DVD!!! Now I can get my Firefly fix anytime.

(Evan's the one who got me addicted to the show in the first place. Silly brother.)

The funny thing was, when I received the package, I wanted to kind of guess what it was, so I felt the contours. At first I thought it was a book, but couldn't think what book he would send me that he would be so anxious for me to get. Then when I didn't feel an indentation where the book pages should be I thought, ah Ha!!! it's a DVD. It was wider than a regular DVD case and that's when I thought of Firefly and started to get excited. So I called him and guessed before I opened it and his voice got less enthusiastic. So I knew I was probably right. And so I was!!!

So Kudos to my wonderful older brother!!!

(I know lots of exclamation points.)

Now I will have to get Serenity (the movie from Firefly) when I have some more money.

I bought a Star Cookie Cutter Tree Kit a couple of years ago but have never used it.

This year I got ambitious and finally made it. I bought pre-made sugar cookies and rolled them out. My mom made the icing because the icing I bought was too runny.

Then my mother and I put the tree together. It was really easy actually . My mom put all the icing on it and I put the little candy specks on with a toothpick. I had so much fun doing this. Maybe I will eventually use my gingerbread house kit my parents gave me for Christmas a couple of years ago.

Love to ALL!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Early Christmas

After a ton of research and consideration my parents and I decided to buy a laptop. I wasn't going to get one from Dell because I had heard a lot of bad stuff about the company. But after doing many, (and I mean MANY) tries of building a laptop at the other manufacturers websites, I found that Dell would give me the best deal and I could get everything I wanted, including Windows XP instead of Vista!

Best of ALL, it's PINK!!!

It matches my cell phone perfectly and it came with a cute little wireless mouse that is also PINK.

I am in the PINK!!!

Pretty impressive since I didn't like pink until a few years ago.

My cousin swears he will never use it since it is pink and I laugh at him, because I don't want anyone else ever touching it.

Now the only decision left is what Skinit I should get . The Pink or Green Butterfly or the Blue Harmony skin. What's your opinion, please post a comment. :)

Bedspread Stories...

My sister gave me a BedSet for Christmas two years ago. It was green and tan. The top picture shows the underside of the bedspread.

As I was wandering through the Richland Washington Wal-Mart I was delighted to find another bedspread that had that same green material but it also had purple, which is my favorite color.

So, tonight I washed all the sheets, changed the bedskirt, and made the bed with my lovely new quilt that goes so well with the other decor. Take a good look cuz that's as made as my bed will be for a long, long time.

Who's That!

There was a little Fire Sprite who got caught in our snowstorm. Here is a picture of the frozen little guy.

He was caught by my cousin Glen.

Harvest Party!!!

We don't celebrate Hallows Eve at our house. We have a Harvest Dinner. We make soup in a pumpkin, roast the seeds, and have all kinds of harvest goodies including spice cake cupcakes!

Here are a couple of pictures from the wonderful and funny evening.

The cow peed on my car!!!

So, I was driving up to Washington on Monday and Tuesday. As I was passing a livestock truck I noticed what looked like smoke coming out of the side of the truck. Just as I passed the truck I realized it was a cow peeing, and my car was anointed liberally with it.

If you ever see a livestock truck on the freeway when it's windy, stay far away from it!!!
