Happy 2011!

It's a new year!! It's a time for resolutions, party hats and appetizer-ish food.
My New Year's Eve was pretty eventful if I must say so myself....
There was a LOT of food. It was almost scary how much food I ate. First there was appetizers and I probably ate about 5 of these little hamburger pocket things. They were so good....you just can't stop eating them. Then at 12:00am they decided to have a midnight lunch! There was roast beef and ham and potato salad and oreo salad and all sorts of things that made my stomach pretty much explode. And if all that wasn't enough, at 1:00am they decided to bring out cake! Well that was pretty much all I could handle. Is it even possible for a person to explode? I was almost believing it that night.
Also, New Year's Eve was the first time I had alcohol. All the adults there were set on "christening" me. So they forced upon me a jello shooter. (They actually taste pretty good!) At first I was completely clueless on how to eat them. I mushed it all up, thinking it would be easier. That didn't work. The second time I had one was much easier. I also had a fruity drink. Small version though and that's when my mother cut me off.
I ended up having a pretty good New Year's! I wish everyone the best in 2011!!

A Nice-ish Day

Today is a beautiful day and I couldn't ask for better! It's currently +5 degrees out and it's perfect weather for running with the dogs or snowboarding.....but sadly I'm not snowboarding. I will get some snowboarding time in if it kills me!! And it just might because I still have a scar from the last time....
Anyways! I kind of went off rambling there for a moment. It happens to the best of us.
It's so beautiful outside that I decided to take some pictures with my brand NEW camera! (Got that for Christmas by the way...)
So I was taking pictures of the dogs.
I was taking pictures of the snow.
I was taking pictures of the trees.
And then I was taking pictures of the cats.....that's when things went wrong. *Scary music plays*
It was all fine for a few moments but then Bob (one of the two cats) got curious and then swatted at the camera. It got snow in it and smudged up the screen.....my BRAND NEW CAMERA!! But I'll fix it.....hopefully.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Almost Christmas!!

There is two days until Christmas and the tree is trimmed, the tabletops are covered with Christmas cards and most of my presents are wrapped. (Very nicely, I might add....)

I don't think the reality of Christmas has hit me yet. It probably won't until Christmas Eve. Our yard is full of snow and our puppies are going pretty crazy chasing every snowflake thinking that somehow catching that snowflake will change their lives. This year for our puppies we got them HUGE rawhide bones. Not big, HUGE. They're probably a good 3 feet. Well over the average size of normal rawhide bones. haha. But then again we're not a normal family. ;)
Mom has given me a project this year. She's told me to write our annual newsletter. I'm pretty excited about this for two reasons:
1. I Can Show the World My Writing Talent! ~ It gives me good practice since I plan on becoming a big shot journalist or at least work for a newspaper.
2. I Get to Represent the Family! ~ My mom has always been the voice of the family but no longer!

Two days until Christmas! Check my blog on Christmas Day for a few Christmas surprises for all my readers!
