Remember? "Stuckey's is a pain in the neck." -- Dad
Today we got a GIANT honey-glazed spiral-cut ham delivered to the family from my favorite Godfather. So Mom (apparently a bit fuzzy brained by the sight of all the pig) said to me, "are you going to call Uncle Ham?" I told her that I didn't think he would want us to call him that. WA HA HA HA!!!
Which one of your four stomachs???? I was just enjoying Baruchito's blog - Thoughts of a hamster. It's excellent. He reports about Papa.
All fire departments on alert tonight as I'm making cookies for the office....the scary Martha Stewart.

Low-Singing Christmas Decoration Tour NEVER disappoints!

Let's see --
Starbucks trying to pawn off the MOCHA peppermint cocoa, AGAIN!
"Oh no! Not the blue lights again."
"Look! Its waving Santa! Hi Santa!!"
"Look, its waving Santa again. Hi Santa."
"Oh no, not waving Santa again. Turn the other way!"
"That's the creepy creche."
"Didn't you like that inflatable tree last year?"
"Creche on a picnic table!"
"The end of Chris's street is creepy."
"The albino creche." (we're definitely going to hell!)
"Where is the creepy street from last year?" "Why did we think this was creepy?"
"Remember where I thought it was a drug deal going down? Let's go there!" "Its a park -- AAAHHHHH!!!"

ahhh, the fun. Can't wait until next year!
(when I spellchecked this, it wanted me to replace "ahhh" with "ahoy." Isn't that excellent?! AHOY!

Happy Birthday To YOU!
Happy Birthday To YOU!
Happy Birthday Dear Momogusssss!!!!!
Happy Birthday To YOUUUU!!!!
And many more.....
And she lives down our alley......

Happy birthday dear sister!

By the way, when I called the vets to make an appointment for O to get his special bath, when I said his name the girl said, "O the Corgi??!!" I said, "yes. Is he famous there?" and she responded, "Yes he is! He is so sweet!" Isn't that nice? The fact that they like him, not the fact that he goes to the vets so much that he's "famous" there.

Emergency ROOM (Noah Wyle is on E.R., not E.W.)

XOXO
The Weasel

So when The Boy came over yesterday, he brought that Weasel toy (the one attached to the ball with the motor in it.) In the afternoon he had the weasel going in and out of all the kitchen cabinets and drawers. He and I both got distracted by the cake-making and forgot about the weasel, who had last been hiding in the placemat drawer. So this morning Mom goes to get placemats to set the table and sees what she thinks is a tail of a GIANT rodent-type animal. She said she closed the drawer really fast and then slowly reopened it, and only then did the ball roll forward and she realized it was The Boy's toy. But for a few brief moments, she had the bejesus scared out of her! She brought it upstairs to show me and we put it in the towel closet. Watch out Dad!!!
I think you and Mom are the only two people I know who refer to the Emergency "Ward." I'm glad Hub is feeling better. Did he get the creepy blood pressure guy? WA ha ha ha!! And the sound-proof curtains?!

And I was wondering what YOU were teaching him about the reindeer!

Saturday, December 10, 2005

While babysitting The Boy today, we were looking at the decorations on the dining room table -- santa in a wooden sleigh with two reindeer. The Boy said, pointing to each of the deer, "this one is Donner and this one is Nixon." Excellent!

Plus you should know that he was just a pleasure to hang out with -- very cooperative and fun!

Hola Cugine!!!

I was the northern holiday/christmas/hannukah/kwanzaa/Greek Orthodox (hope that was comprehensive enough) elf on Wednesday. I took the day off and we planned on being NYC tourists. However, our mukluks weren't warm enough, so we did the tree and whole house (apt.) in festive decorations. It is lovely, if I do say so myself.

Never got hooked on Model, but thanks to you two I cannot miss House. Shamefully, I can tell you everything you never wanted to know about either Apprentice show. (That is only to be known within these walls - okay!?!)

Can't wait to see you.

As we discussed by phone, Nicole won ANTM. Bleh. She just seemed a little vapid and whiny to me. Oh well.

So I put up the tree last night, and today I put the lights on. It makes me very happy. Other Sister says I'm the Christmas Elf (or Holiday Elf?) -- I think I may be. I love putting up the lights and tree, our low-singing drive, wrapping gifts... So now the tree sits all sparkly, waiting for ELC and The Boy to hang the ornaments. Yea!!

TONIGHT? Season finale of America's Next Top Model, Apprentice: Martha, AND the season premier of Project Runway -- Girls, its a full-on reality evening! (Can you see the big "L" on my forehead? You know what? I don't care!)

Also, we're having a little trouble with Earl. He is constantly mugging poor little plastic Santa (that sits in the little wooden sleigh on the diningroom table) and stealing the plastic bag of toys. We've tried putting the Feliz Navidad singing Cactus in there like a body guard. That seems to work for the most part -- we can hear the singing cactus whenever Earl tries to "be-tack" (in the words of The Boy) Santa. I think we have to talk with Earl about the Christmas spirit.

Momogus is certainly the navicator, but NOT the driver! Remember sitting tooo close to the steering wheel with the white-knuckle grip? And seeing the work crew and taking the turn on two wheels? "IT'S A CHAIN GANG!!!" And, shall I say it again, making your poor new car start in THIRD gear?!?!

Friday, December 02, 2005

Good morning!! Now that I've stopped grinning with delight after reading this best-ever blog, I just wanted to add.....
Remember when you were "navikator to the gods???" Whaa, haa, haaa!!!
Good morning! Just wanted to let you know that I invited our most favorite and cherished cousin to join RTB! Woohoo!

Hey, remember you trying to enter fast moving traffic in third gear?!? unnngggghhhh!!! Wa ha ha!!

I've seen that vid and I agree. "Lovely lady lumps" = weird and creepy. If someone said that to me, I might respond by saying, "This day sucks!"

Wa ha ha ha ha!!! 'Member???

Ok, I have to say that I believe that Leaf is the best gift EVER (although I already caught him trying to leaf - WA HA HA- through my wallet)! How sweet and thoughtful of The Boy!

FYI - no other Pingu vids at Blockbuster. Sniff.

PICK IT UUUUUUUUUUUUUPP!!!!
Well, good morning! I'm sorry you had to go to work today too! Um, when did Hub take up crack? 5 a.m.? On Black Friday? Crazy. I'm watching the news now and they're talking about all the people at the mall. They just interviewed a woman and she said she, her two sisters and her mom do this every year and the get to the mall .... wait for it... at the "crack'o'dawn"!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hee hee hee!!!!

I'm thankful for my sisters (who don't want to shop on Black Friday!) and tuning pegs!!!

So I bought a slow-cooker/crock pot today -- woohoo! Its a Cuisinart. Mom said I could get it only if I promised not to talk about it all the time. Apparently one of her friends had one and talked nonstop about all it could do. I don't know, if its as spectacular as my grill, I may have to share the news!

Ok, I must say that Pingu ROCKS! It is so cute in a Wallace and Gromit kind of way -- I think you will approve. I'm going to see if El Primo wants to watch it tomorrow, but I can lend it to you after that. The Boy really enjoyed it, not so much Herbie. The Boy also ate half a small pizza! Woohoo! Sleepovers rule!

Hope you're having a great anniversary dinner!

Well, as a matter of fact, I was with OS all day yesterday. She had food poisoning -- J had graciously brought her a special sandwich the night before (he said there was a buy one, get one free special! I wonder why?). So Momous and I went in to help with El Primo and the Dumpling. They were adorable!

Anyway, on ANTM they focussed on Kim (the boygirl) and how she dished dirt about everyone behind their backs. There was a limo confrontation between Kim and Bre and Nik which ended with Kim in tears and Nik confessionalizing that she felt that Kim wasn't upset about what she did but that she got confronted on it. Oh, and they finally got to London by the middle of the show with the theme being paparazzi (don't we know about THAT!) It was Shayna (who had another lackluster photo shoot) and Lisa (who had a lackluster paparazzi photo) in the bottom two. I thought it was Shayna for sure, but they gave Lisa the boot. I have to say I was a little surprised. I'm not a big Lisa fan, but she'd been on her best behaviour (spelling in honor of London!) for this episode. Or maybe Tyra found out about the peeing in the diaper to impress the WildBoyz thing (blegh!) and Nigel doesn't like her at all. So thats it. Buh-bye Lisa!

I hope you have had time to recover from the heavy phone. Maybe YOU need a spotter when you use it! Wa ha ha ha!!

Love you!

Momogus (or KnittyD, as I'd like to call you),

I was talking to Mom'o'us tonight about the joys of bacon -- telling her about your friend's blog where she said "If I was a vegan, I'd still eat bacon." (I almost wrote, "If I was a bacon..." WA HA HA!!!) Anyway, so I was sharing with Mom the first time I had an egg salad with bacon sandwich. Yummm!!!! I'll set the scene. It was probably 6 years ago (did I tell you this? Oh well.) and I was working a temp job at GE Insurance where they had a giant cafeteria. So the person in front of me at the sandwich station orders an egg salad with bacon sandwich. My eyes widen at the thought. I'd never heard of such a magnificent idea! But of course, it makes sense -- bacon and eggs. But on a sandwich? So I quickly ordered the same thing and hurried to my table (I'm glad I was by myself this day, preventing anyone I knew from witnessing my total sandwich gooniness!) Sigh. It was as good as I had hoped. Mmmmm. I had to keep myself from getting the cholesteral-busting meal every single day! I actually haven't had one in a long time as its a bit labor intensive when someone isn't preparing it for you. But it was definitely a red-letter day.

"Oh no! Not the long orchestrion again!"

So KnittyD (don't worry Knitty, we can change this if you want a different name. Although I must admit, I kind of like KnittyD. Hee hee.), where should we start? How about my spontaneous Larry "Bud" Mellman laugh while driving cross-country. I believe it started because we were reading some book related to him. I just remember that it tired me out a bit.

Love you,
Curlygirl
