Mickey who...?

All I see is something SPARKLY ...

Winter Wonderland...sort of

Snow this morning...It hasn't snowed since Christmas Day 2004...

and this is probably twice as much as then...

It was pretty steady...Where I wish I was through it all...

But I had to go to WORK! So that we can afford to by someone treats....

Adminstrative Professionals Day

That was yesterday. I got flowers and the guys cooked here at the office. Fried fish, french fries, hush puppies, onions, and white beans and rice. All awesome! This weekend is filled with out of town plans for a soccer tournament which will start tomorrow for us.

Have a great weekend!

I heart...

my wrapping paper this year! It reminds me of candy.

More Fog

What is this? Day 5?!?! Here's some photos from my drive into work this morning.

Scary to know that I was driving as I was taking these pics huh?

Not a very busy weekend. Soccer on Satrurday with a little "death wish" christmas shopping at the mall in Lafayette after. Sunday was quietly spent at home watching movies (Nacho Libre - that was hilarious!), wrapping gifts, and just enjoying being home.

We're going to make these tonight!

FOG

It has been like this for 3 days. Fog all day and all night. This is a view from my office looking out to the highway 90 that I have to travel. Remember what it looked like on "The Others" everytime Nicole Kidman and her kids would wonder outside of the house? Yea, its kinda like that around here. I'm ready for some SUN to brighten things up a bit and lift this fog. Or, if its going to be this gloomy at least be cold - and cold enough to snow. Its moist, damp, humid, muggy, its like wet air, no christmas weather. SSssIIiiGGggHHhh!!!....well since we don't get the white stuff for winter, at least there's this site to go to and make some while I'm inside avoiding all the murky-ness. Every flake you make sends a donation to the Salvation Army so its a good thing!

Flickr!

Notice the new icon on the right hand side? I have a Flickr account! So, I'll be uploading new pics there for all to view! I'm telling ya, I'm getting all into this now!

Christmas Spirit

I wasn't too much in the christmas spirit this year. Maybe it's because Shelby is getting older and so are the other nieces and nephews we have in the family. All the fun Christmas traditions we had, they are growing out of. Or maybe cause I feel like its a race and I'm making myself rush to the finish line. The finish line being Christmas day. I put up the Christmas tree but not with all the bangs and whistles I would normally. It took me 4 days and I ended up saving away alot of the decorations I would have normally displayed.

Well, last night I heard "O' Tannenbaum" by Vince Guaraldi and for some reason it just put me in the ole Christmas Spirit! I don't know if it was because is sparked a childhood christmas-y feeling of when I would await all year to watch Charlie Brown Christmas and all the magic that the season held or if it has some kind of Grinch-ish heart en-larger, but I needed that CD!

So, for lunch today I went out to get this:

Then I ran into a holiday display which led me to:

which then led to:

ultimately ending with:

Can you just SMELL the Christmas Spirit? Yeah, I know, you wish you were at my house this weekend.

Groovy

I recently saw the new Toyota FJ Cruiser. (i know, right here in the berry!) They are the coolest looking SUV on the road I have seen! They have such a vintage look, and I'm all about that. I think this vehicle just moved to the top of my "I'd like a vehicle like..." list. Not sure if I'd go with the Titanium Metallic or the Voodoo Blue. The blue looks so 60s, but who am I kidding, I'm a Silver chick! Hmmm...yea, I definitly think so.


Check um out here!

C. Taylor

I know its been a while since I posted last. The only excuse I have is that I've been dreaming of these! Chuck Taylors!

I especially like the chocolate, parchment pair. Aren't they COOL! Notice how the stiching matches and not white like the regular ones. Want some too, huh?

Strange..

Is it strange that this
disturbs me more than this

Do I value the life of a puppy over the life of a human? Or was it just about time they caught him!


And HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

With a chick-chick here...

Mom and dad hatched some chicks a couple of weeks ago. They are so cute!! Shelby was so excited about them. When we would visit and the chicks would peep, she would say "hmmm...don't you just love that sound?" and when we would would leave, she would say "let me go tell my peeps bye". They're going to paw-paws chicken coop soon. I wanted to take pictures of them little, cute and fluffy but they grow so fast! They are already getting wing feathers. But, I went and took pics anyway. Look at this little guy. You think he was a little upset I was in their space? I mean, he was all up in my lens!

We've Only Just Begun

Test, Test...1,2,3

Ahem...Hello my name is Kelly and I'm addicted to Blogs! I just love reading them and getting all those great ideas that you creative people have. So, I've decided to start my own. Hopefully I'll be able to stick with it and have just as interesting stories and goings-on. I'm new to this so hopefully I'll catch on quick. This will also be a good way to keep in touch with a few friends and family who are out of state. Posts and Pics coming soon! Have a great weekend!
