Dear Santa-

Where are you? I believe...

Love,

Korver

P.S. - Despite my behavior when Mama and Daddy are at work, I really am a good boy!





Santa Baby....hurry down the chimney tonightttttttttttttttttttt


Oh goodness gracious my little sugar cookies, I'm sure you've wondered what's happened to me since my last post. I've just been ridicously busy! The holidays are in full swing here in suga land and I've been all swept up. My concentration is now based on the mess that will be Christmas and NYE. Not necessarily a mess, but when I get together with my side of the family someone ends up in tears, someone reveals a deep dark secret, and someone almost always ends up on the wrong side of the law. That is why people I always make sure to keep my distance for the other 11 months out of the year by keepin' it real 2 hours away.

So, what are your plans over the next week or so? I intend on taking a short break away from the paycheck and concentrating on snuggling with my dog and ANNOYING all that is good out of ATM. He's going to be begging to head back to work after I'm done with him. The ATM has no idea that if I don't get what I didn't ask for for Christmas it's going to be a hellacious 2007 for him. I distinctly remember in our vows that I said in order for me to marry you - you must be a mind reader. Yes, that was included in our vows. All right, I'm joking it wasn't in our vows but if I don't get what I didn't ask for - things are not going to be fun. Sometimes I feel bad for the ATM but he knew what deep, dark and twisty hole he was stepping into when he married me.

To be honest, I didn't ask for anything for Christmas as many know patience is not a virtue I possess, so I buy what I like when I like it. Which possess a multitude of problems because that leaves the ATM to scramble for a gift and his life. Knowing that if I wake up on 12/25 and there's nothing under the tree for me heads and suitcases are going to roll. But don't tell him, I plan on being easy on him this year because what could he possibly give the girl that has everything? I have him, my Korver, my health and a wonderful life. What more could I want? Well, I do like those Lexus December to Remember commercials....ATM there's still plenty of time to sign that lease...

Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown!!!!
A mish mash of nada....






Photos of my craziness...

I know that the appeal of my blog is that I always include illustrations of cake and the like and well since I've been light on the baking, I've decided to include some pictures that I like. And don't worry, I have grand aspirations for baking beginning tonight. I'm baking sugar cookies covered in royal icing just like my Dustbunny and JayBear like them...then it's on to my infamous butter cookies that Chris and Bry like but I'm not sure if I'll be seeing them while we're on the sure as they'll be in the lovely little truck stop of TRAPPE and I'll be in the overwhelming metropolis of Preston...and I'll be making a wonderful cake for my fam with the white icing they crave.

Anywho, here are the pictures in no real order...

I'm including a picture of Stitch the dog whom I absolutely adore. He belongs to one of my best friends roommate in North Carolina...He was just too darn cute and such a love bug...

Then as usual, I'm including a picture of Korver being tortured or made a fool out of for the character...you choose.

Finally, me and my best friend in North Carolina were pretending it was a blustery New England day in North Carolina...so we turned on the fire place, made some pumpkin pancakes and other tasty sides...mind you in early November in NC there really isn't a need for a roaring fireplace...we thought our skin was going to melt off....

ENJOY!!

High School - The Musical




The best of times...

Well, that was then and this is now...

So 2006 marks my ten years since graduating high school. I loved high school (the draama, the cute boys, and the chearleading squad), but I love my life now ten years later a whole hell of alot better. I've grown up and become the woman I knew I could be. Plus, I have my own credit cards...isn't that best part of being an adult? Shh...don't tell the ATM he thought he confiscated them all after the last package from Neiman's arrived this week.

Anyway, there was a big hullabaloo recently about a high school reunion and the truth is - the thought of it makes my skin crawl. What's the point? High school reunions are never like they are in the movies and having one would be a complete waste of time. Why? Because it's not like I don't care about my old classmates...but if we really cared that much about each other we would've kept in touch like we promised. Sad to say, that when I packed up the family caravan and headed north to where I reside today I pretty much left the Shore and my classmates behind except for the ones that I knew would be my friends forever and here they are (minus just a few EHS alums who I still keep in touch with and still consider very near and dear to my heart.)

So class of 1996 reunion - MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!! Better than a movie..



Okay, everyone...last ones!!!

BTW, aren't my friends so amazing!!! And to cha cha for words????








Ooh wait...more pictures from Saturday!!!





It's the most wonderful time of the year....

Yes, it is. And every year at this time me and the ATM throw our annual holiday extravaganza at our sprawling estate. We're joined by friends and family who enjoy the amazing food and the neverending bottles of Yuengling and Dogfish Head. We hope everyone had a good time and a great start to their holiday season!!!
