Day 146 & 147 - Green Stripes and Black Toe Socks

Still sicky poo, but managed to get out of the house yesterday. Had to make a run to PetSmart to get the kitties more food. Also went to Reba's for a game night. It was a late night but pretty fun.

Today I decided to have myself a Toy Story marathon. They are short so I'm already near the end of Toy Story 2. They really are great movies! Not much else on today's agenda. Gotta type up a list for Elyse, watch the Oscars, and make a grocery list for next week. A big day for sure.

Day 122, 123, 124 & 125 - Stripes Galore

Been slacking on the posting lately. Don't even have a good excuse. Spent the weekend in Killington, VT on Elyse's annual ski trip. It was great fun. Exhausting, but great fun. Still trying to recover, catch up on sleep, and detox from the 3 long days of drinking and eating poorly. Think this year was more fun than last since we all know each other better than last year. That's helpful when you are dealing with 28 people.  Anyway here are all the striped socks I wore on my journey.

Day 93 - Green Stripes

Sorta sad to be through with the Christmas socks. Normally I'd wear some duplicates, but not this year where no duplicates are allowed.  It's ok though, I have plenty more socks to wear. Even got one new pair for Christmas from my Sissy.

On the agenda for today. Going to Bridget's to watch "Very Brady Christmas" which when we watched as kids caused Bridget to freak out so much our babysitter had to call her own mother over to help calm her down. Also gonna play some more Wii and be generally lazy I suppose. Then leftovers for dinner. Afterward I am meeting up with Kristen and Billy, two of my peeps from high school. I am definitely looking forward to that.

Tomorrow afternoon it's back to the airport so I can head to Orlando. Gotta work on getting everything packed.

Day 91 & 92 - Christmas Eve Stripes & Christmas Day Snowflakes

Christmas Eve still remains my most favorite eating day of the year. For lunch we have shrimp, crab, fresh bread, and about 6 kinds of cheese. Then for dinner we have fried bread, more cheese, deviled eggs, jello salad and all my favorite Italian cold cuts. Cappicolla, Salami, Pepperoni, Soppresetta, and Proscuttio. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it's so tasty. After our Italian meat feasting we open presents. Got some new clothes, the Pacific on Blu Ray, a new wallet, scarves, and a new coat among other things.

The pork eating continues on Christmas morning. Breakfast of bacon, bagels, and bread. Another yummy meal. We spent the morning playing Wii, which Bridget got for Christmas. Followed by Christmas dinner of Ham, Turkey, Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Peas, Asparagus and Rolls. Think we may scale that back next year though. It was WAY too much food. Afterwards more Wii. The best part was watching Mom school my Dad at boxing.  I spent the evening being lazy, finishing my second book of the trip, and watching The Tooth Fairy. BTW, the movie is not recommended. However I really liked the book, Easy Company Soldier, a biography from one of the Sergeants from Easy Company 101st Airborne, the company that inspired Band of Brothers.

Definitely feeling stuffed after two days of eating!!

Day 69 - Christmas Lights

Thought Christmas light socks were appropriate to wear today since I am planning to put up lights in my apartment this afternoon. I like to put them around the top of the walls. I have done it in every place I have lived since college. The first time it's a giant pain cause you have to use nails, but after that it's easy since all the holes are already there. I am a little unsure of where exactly I want to run the lights but I'll figure it out.  Hoping to have pictures to post tomorrow, both of the lights and of my completely decorated apartment. Oh how I love Christmas!!!

Day 67 - Christmas Bears

And so my month of Christmas socks continues. I counted last night and it looks like I have enough to go all season. There are a few that aren't specifically Christmas but more winter socks, but they still count :)

Got my tree decorating yesterday. Not quite down with all my decorations though. Still plan to put up lights in the house. That won't happen today though. I am off to donate blood in an hour, which I know is gonna make me tired so there will be no decorating tonight. I seriously have a lot of Christmas stuff. There's nothing wrong with that!

Now for a Public Service Announcement. DONATE BLOOD!! It can save a life. Is it the funnest thing in the world? No, but being uncomfortable for 30 minutes every 3 months is a small price to pay to help. If you were the one in need of blood, wouldn't you want there to be someone willing to give their time and blood for you? So just do it! You will be fine, I promise. The needle won't kill you. So I'll say it again Donate Blood! 

I promise that's the last lecture you will get from me for a while :)

Day 32 - Green Plaid

Another pair from High School. There are the same color green as the ugly uniform sweatshirts we were required to wear.

Had a really hard time finding pictures from our JASS 2008 trip. Have them all printed but couldn't find the digital ones. Ended up scanning this one in. Anyway....

Amy came in from Hawaii and me from Boston to meet up in Orlando the weekend after Thanksgiving. We spent the weekend at Disney with the Angels and Amy's parents. This picture was taken on our JASS only night out at Chevy's. Amy got a little tipsy after her one margarita. Plus we got the balloon guy to make us some fancy balloon animals. My favorite memory from that trip was Stacey making the worlds biggest mess eating an orange at Magic Kingdom. Instead of peeling it all, she peeled a piece and ate it like an apple. It was such a site to see. I can't stop laughing just thinking about it.

JASS 2008 - Lake Buena Vista, FL

Only 3 more days!!

Day 26 - Green Flowers

These socks I am 95% sure I have had since high school. They don't get worn too much as I am not much of a green wearer. I am starting to wear green more. My fashion consultant, Bridget, has shown me how.  Today they are a nice compliment to my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Shirt and lazy pants. I was going to put my pjs on after coming home from working out but was advised that pjs aren't acceptable on weekdayd til fter 4. Think I tend to agree.

Don't have much planned for the day. Gonna do laundry, get my insurance set up, watch some DVR, and do some puzzling. My cousin Gino and I bought the same puzzle on Monday night. It's a race to see who can finish first. He has to go to class in the evenings so hopefully that'll give me some advantage. But he did start last night at 11 while I was sleeping, so who knows. Wish me luck!

Lunch Time!!
