bedtime baking mats and married to rock

loving
bedtime. it needs to be bedtime more often!

not loving
Costco christmas card envelopes - they are honestly the work of the devil. you can't slice them open with your finger because the foil inside is soooo thick, that trying to do so sends shooting pains down your arm (or maybe it's just me and my terrible 'Thriller' elbow...) by the time i get the card out (i admit to having zero tolerance) the people on the card are creased and torn beyond recognition :(

loving
finding these baking mats today at Costco for a third of the amazon price (they were in my cart while i debated whether buying them would just encourage me to bake more, thus making me gain more weight and feel more worthless/less worthful...) for a third of the price we can use them for play doh!!

wondering
if i'll EVER watch this week's "married to rock"... it's wednesday and it was on on sunday... what is wrong with this picture??!

making, finally...
the blurb book. it's agony - i am torn between creating perfectly zen pages with just one or two perfect pictures on them and a whole lot of blank space, or awful busy collage pages with 9 mismatched pictures crammed together because i have SO MANY pictures to fit in the book... sigh, i should be more selective but i don't want to miss a significant story-telling moment from the year like the first picture of Clarice (we miss you sweet sassy Clarice...RIP) or the last day in Mrs Kay's class or the day we saw the dog whisperer :) i take a lot of pictures of very important things...

wanting
to adopt a shelter kitty but stressing that it will be one too many cats... but they do say, once you have two you might as well have ten (or is that children...? my rule with children is don't have more than you have hands :)

missing
cream cheese frosting... it's all gone :( would it be so terrible to make some frosting even though i technically have nothing to put it on, so i could just eat little bowls of it for each meal...?

off to bed! horray!!

cutest christmas concert EVER...


what we made tonight... ok i watched :)

Danny was very poorly on our trip to the mountains - i hope he didn't get Santa sick....


they behaved like princes and loved their first doggie vacation (so did we :)
