vacation rentals and jet dry and petty crime

i wish my boys were on winter break till next year... i soooo don't want monday to come around and go back to normal... i love vacation too much!

we are in snowy log cabin hell. i can't possibly make a decision, since i don't want to be too spendy nor do i want to stay in a place that looks like bodies were dismembered there. and clearly it must be painted in jaunty, joyful colors and have beautiful muted light and wood floors (distressed: ok). and i am very particular about location and such (must be less than one minute to a pizzeria, a great breakfast place and a big sledding hill) and i want a place where i can take my dogs! that is why they need the sherpa fleece dog collars :)

speaking of dogs, we found a pet sitter and i love her already! Romeo peed on her three times and she was completely calm about it (unlike me ;)

i never knew (till yesterday) that a segway should be spelled 'segue' - i thought it was segway...

and i never knew that the bottle of jet dry that i bought literally years ago, but never actually poured into the dishwasher, would have such a radical effect on our knives and forks - they are SO wonderfully shiny now! it's like living in a palace :)

something is up with the MJ experience wii game... when Thriller is on and we are not using controller 4, it still racks up points... and no-one is even holding it :| it gives me the chills to even type it.... we have a dancing zombie ghost in our den :|

have i mentioned my love of all things morningstar? their chickenless enchiladas are soooooooo good!! and even Aaron and Sam ate meatless spaghetti last night and both thought it was actual meat :) and it's so low in fat and stuff and not a drop of blood in sight. anyway, i found it at my local win-co for half the price of that shameless whole foods place, so i went to stock up. i also had a coupon for $1 off one box but it clearly said "NO DUPLICATES" all over it and i only had the one coupon - grrr! our bonnie and clyde alter egos sprung into action and we schmoozed the lady at customer service into making 4 copies of said coupon, which she duly did ;) next stop - the checkout stand. Aaron kept that cashier talking about herself while i whisked the groceries effortlessly into bags, hoping our charm and helpfulness would be too intoxicating for her to notice the badly photocopied NO DUPLICATES coupon x four. and it worked like a charm!!! we clearly need to start robbing banks!!! we strode out with our $1 frozen meals - it was like the end of Oceans Eleven, except without the Bellagio fountains :) we saved all of $4 but it was how completely awesome we were doing it that counted ;)

oh well, off to bed with a small slice of pumpkin bread and hopefully a law & order: uk - the wigs are just so fascinating. oh and i am going to astringe the hell out of my face to remove the orange pumpkin pigment from my skin :)
