| How bout them 'HORNS?
Well, for those living under a rock-- the Horns are the best! They won and it was the best freakin' football game I've ever watched in my entire life... and I've watched a lot. I almost cried when Vince Da Man ran in that touchdown with 16 seconds left on the clock-- FOR THE WIN. I'm so proud of them!!
I actually fell asleep during most of the 3rd quarter thinking we were done for. My daughter insisted on sleeping with me. So I in turn insisted that no she could not fall asleep watching Nick at Night. Instead she had to watch the game and wake me up "Everytime the #s changed." Which she failed miserably at but that's ok. My friend called me up and she told me to wake up (she fell asleep too) and watch this! The last 5 of the game. The best 5 minutes of the game more like. Should've heard the entire town screaming and popping fireworks on that touchdown (I was having a celebration smoke on the back porch at midnight). It was something else-- won't ever forget it.
I would've posted on this earlier but I woke up Thursday morning with the worst stomach virus I've had since that 9 months of morning sickness I had a little over a decade ago. Horrible. 'Least morning sickness only affects one gastric orafice... can't say that for The Bug. Sucked the life outta me, but gave me a nice 8 pound headstart on my New Year's Resolution. Too bad it was only water. Ugh.
I start 17 hours of classes on Tuesday. I'm scared! I haven't taken that much college credit in almost 10 years. Wish me luck.
And my baby girl is TEN. TEN! I feel so frikkin' old. Help. | | |

Time for UT to take what is rightfully theirs!! I am decked out for work today in a bold burnt orange pair of nurse scrubs, got my UT purse in hand and my naturally burnt orange hair, and am ready to see Texas
KICK ASS
We're having a little 'Horns party tonight to sit on our butts and cheer them on. Friends, family and the critters who litter our carpet and cages will be chattering on all evening long to do what we do best-- cheer on the great players who are UNDEFEATED and cuss and yell at the refs when we think they screw up a call.
Southern California has had flooding rains all week, which for awhile we thought was in our favor and still may be. But today the skies opened up and the sun is shining there. Wouldn't want them to say we kicked their butts on a'count of the weather now, would we?? Of course here in Texas we are used to bizarre changes in the weather on an almost hourly basis. So a little flooding rains don't bother us anymore than snow and ice would. So we shall see!!!!
Go 'HORNS!! | | |
| Christmas weekend here was wonderful! Will have to post some pics of it soon. My laptop has decided to quietly die from lack of a proper fitting power plug. I'm considering another one or getting a docking station for it. Need a new computer, but ain't happening right now. Soooo... Since everyone else is doing it-- I will list my Christmas loot too and finally use those cute little bullets I have been ignoring up there.
- A very pretty anniversary ring from my sweetie, which I have aforementioned in another post, but I consider it my surprise X-mas gift from him.
- A beautiful gold watch from mom
- Awesome Longhorn purse. I'll have to take pictures. I LOVE IT.
- Fredericks' perfume from my best friend
- Some mint/eucalyptus stuff from the Boy... he's such a cutie
- A beautiful tan throw with fringe and Steel Magnolias on DVD from MIL, oh and a little guardian angel thing for my car visor (cute)
- Books, one is the Five Love Languages my sweetie and I will start reading on the 1st of the year
- Pretty ring and bracelet charms from my kiddo
- Fuzzy socks and Happy Bunny slippers.
- Red zippy sweater and a berry colored leather coat
I made out like a bandit, but so did everyone else. I love Christmas! Get to do it all over again with my brother and his family this weekend. Yay! I haven't seen them in awhile, so it should be a fun weekend.
Oh, the heater in my car decided today NOT TO WORK. Thank you Mitsubishi, for my car being exactly 4 years old and something on it dying now. 'Preciate it. And I'm broke, so I guess I'll have to put the top up on the Jeep and use it until it get it fixed. Dammit. I just filled up the gas tank in the car, too. Figgers. | | |

Only 5 more days to Christmas. I can honestly say this year that I am almost done shopping. I have 2 more gifts to get and that is it! Just waiting on payday Thursday to finish up. This is the first Christmas since I've met Kenny that we'll be without him. That's a lonely thought, but one I'm trying to get over. Christmases have been absolutely spectacular since I met him and especially since we got married, and it's hard thinking about it not happening. We've got to do this probably 3 more times, too, which sucks more.
But I have my mom and my kiddo, so it won't be horrible. Just not the same. My best friend and her kiddos are spending it with us, though, and since we're both without a man (each for different reasons) this holiday, we're doin' it up together. That's a first for us! Never have gotten to spend the holidays together after 5 years. I like it.
Maybe I'll just wrap myself up only in gold and red ribbon and send him some pictures... should cheer us both up!
