For Christmas, the little bug got a very cool tiger flashlight that ROARS when you activate it. Aunt Sue picks the fun gifts along with practical gifts like savings bonds. It's the fun gifts that the Finnster likes, the practical gifts that mommy & daddy like.


Among other things like chasing the poodle ROARing away, Finnegan "feeds" his tiger flashlight Boo Kitty's food. You see the tiger mouth opens to reveal the flashlight, so of course that means he's hungry and what better to feed him than the cat's food?

At the risk of only Amanda knowing what the hell I am talking about...

Allow me to show you our new dining room table & the site of what I hope to be many many candlelight suppers! I am so geeked, it's not even funny.

Which do you like?

And may I say that I got the deal of the freaking century from Lane Bryant? Both of these dresses are marked down to $50 right now, but I got both for $40 total. I don't know what the deal is, but the sale price is now much higher than what I paid.

One of the nights of the cruise is a formal night so I need something dressy, but I wanted something that would work for after too. Both of these I would wear again so I will probably keep both provided they look good on.

Which do you like better?

Long time, no see.

Do I have any readers left or have you all given up on me? Sorry for the long ass blogging hiatus, like I said in the last post, we've had a rough bit of a go lately. And blogging on the desktop, sitting on the floor of our bedroom (yes that is where my lovely freak of a husband has decided to plop the old dinosaur for "the time being" which, to date, has been 3 months at least) anywho, it's not fun. So we solved that issue tonight by picking up an HP Mini 1033CL. It is freaking awesome and I love it. And it's cute and fun and I can take it with me when I travel to the BAHAMAS on a cruise with my bestest and it's free and we are totally going to have the most freaking fun ever. That is a wholenother post people. OK, so I have lots to blog about including the upcoming trip, the cute dresses I ordered for said trip, my sweet ass friends that do wonderful and suprising things, Christmas lovelies, some good recent dinners and a whole host of other things like wii hernias. So hang in there will you??
