These are my photos of the week that I am proud of!
Drew had his Christmas Pagent today..they wore their dress uniforms. I tried to upload a video but blogger is gay.
I went to a girl ornament exchange party last night..they had a chocolate fountain..I stuck my head underneath..really I did..it was yummy!
First snow of the year..it lasted a half second and turned to sleet..in 12 hours it was all melted. 
I used a technique and cropped this beautiful sunset last Tuesday..before the cold weather..
This is my MOST favorite!! It really looked like this...

a little education to the younger sort...
SO I sent her some websites to look at to which she replies:
He’s married to the woman from Little House on the Prairie!!!
MP- He’s way too old for you! He’s like my dad’s age!
New Meme...I've been tagged
I mention that I was tagged since normally I just do them myself.. Miss LuLu tagged me for this chain meme thingy. I think your hair falls out if you don't do it...NO..but I'm doing it anyway.
There are rules..and you MUST post them. I always follow directions..so I copied and pasted.
-Link to the person that tagged you, and post the rules on your blog.
-Share 7 facts about yourself.
-Tag 7 random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs.
-Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
OK: 7 Random this about myself..that you already don't know. Hmmmmm
I like when people do themes...LuLu's was about her being a Grinch..I already did the dorky one.(cause I'm a dork)... We will now do a Music one!!
1. I can play the piano. My mom made me take piano lessons when I was little from Miss Burnham. She was a big woman that came to our house every Monday at 4pm. Because of piano lessons I wasn't able to join the Girl Scouts. That bothers me to this day although I am glad I can read music and play poorly. I would be able to play better if I had practiced. Every once and a while when I'm at mom's I'll sit down and play for a while. They have a really nice white baby grand that they bought when I was in college. One of the first song books I pick up is the Broadway Musical books. Fiddler on The Roof and Oklahoma are the ones I like the best...I sign along also. Mom and I used to duet..her on the organ and me on the piano. It hurts her to sit at the organ now. Oh..and her fat ass broke one of my mom's dining room chairs.
2. I can play the violin. I picked up the violin my freshman year in HS. I did it because my mom wanted me to play the clarinet. She didn't think I'd have the ear for the violin. I showed her, by my senior year I was first chair. I enjoyed being 2nd violin the best. I love the harmony. There were 4 of us (3 violins and a cello) that competed in a contest at one of the local colleges. I was SO nervous. We didn't win anything but it was really cool. I doubt that I could play much anymore..again with the practice thing.
3. I was in choir and acapella choir in HS. 2nd soprano. I was also in the chorus in the musicals. I was in a barbershop quartet. I'm not really very good but I enjoyed the hell out of it.
4. I'm considering signing up for the church choir. They keep advertising for it. Then I would have to go to that particular mass all the time. I don't know..we'll see.
5. When I was really little my favorite music was oldies. I had a Raggedy Ann radio that I would put under my pillow at night and listen to Elvis, Frankie Avalon, Tom Jones, and other music from the 50's and 60's. I still love the oldies and I feel really old when people tell me that Cindy Lauper is an oldie.
6. In keeping with the arts. I took ballet and tap lessons when I was around 12. Step Ball Change. I remember my positions for ballet. That is about it.
7. I love karaoke..but only if I have a beer in one had and a smoke in the other. We don't go to bars much anymore...so I don't sing much anymore...except last night in the ice storm...I had Channel 7 (xm) on and was screaming at the top of my lungs, "I Think I LOVE YOU...I think I love you..." The BEST David Cassidy/Patridge Family song ever recorded.
Ooo...I get to tag people now...

Peaking into the past...
THIS is what we watched when I was little.. I had Kristy and Jimmy's album..LOVED THEM!!
My Favorite Show:
This is a hysterical video showing the MAN that I was going to marry..I just wish there would have been clips from How The West Was Won
I have been thinking about this for SO long...and finally thought to look it up on You Tube!!
For you people that weren't ALIVE during this time this is Rex Smith in Sooner or Later.. I read the book and watched the movie a thousand times. Then I bought the album. (album is a round black disc used to play music, preceded the cassette tape and cd..yes I'm being sarcastic)
WTF is going on??
I didn't realize it but I'm not getting emails on all my comments...and I missed some comments. I like my friend Biddy am a comment whore. I can't believe I missed them, and they were from some new folks too. :-(
Off to visit new places..love new blogs..well I really love my old ones but new is fun.
OK.. so go to www.ksdk.com They LEAD story is the storm moving in. I am REALLY thinking that we're going to end up w/ some rain. We have a "winter storm warning" right now. This is great!!
THIS is what the forcast looks like...
here it comes....
MAYBE we will have some winter weather today. I say maybe because it seems like everytime all of the TV channels and weathermen agree on something then nothing happens. About 75 miles north of us are supposed to get 2-4 inches of snow this afternoon. We on the other hand are supposed to get rain, ice, sleet and some mushy snow from 3/4:00 - 10pm tonight. So...what does that mean? It means that everyone will have forgotten how to drive in rush hour traffic. The grocery stores are going to have people packed getting french toast ingrediants. Schools nearby are going to have an early release..I just know that is going to happen.
Ohio/PA/NY..these people know how to deal with snow because they get alot of it. MO/AK/OK...not so much. North of us gets snow all the time. The last decade or so we're lucky to get one snow a year. WHY..cause we get the flipping ice storms. The weather pattern of recent years leaves us in this winter limbo. I hate it. I almost would rather be somewhere warm like AZ..but not really. I would just love to have to purchase some snow boots and make angels in the snow...not try to navigate my front steps so I don't wipe out and fall on my ass. Couple years ago I broke my wrist catching my fat ass falling on the ice. I do NOT want that to happen again.
OK..I haven't had a good weather rant in a while. I'll come back and update later this afternoon and let you know what happened.

My Favorite Christmas Show...and song...
Please tell me..isn't this the BEST ever.. OK...see me getting more into the Christmas Spirit. I couldn't WAIT until this came on TV every year. Kids are spoiled now with these DVD and VHS..and Blue Ray..Tivo..On Demand. What happened to the good old days when you grabbed the TV Book from Sunday's paper and read the grid to find your favorite show..then planned your night accordingly??

Read Read Read
I haven't been reading my novel at ALL. I am reading The Rhett Butler Story.
I have TV to watch now that the DVR has been working.
I have SO much blog reading to catch up on. Usually by 11am on a Monday I'm caught up from the weekend...NOT AT ALL.. plus I need to catch up on my Sunday Meme pictures..
I need to catch up w/ my Flickr palls too...and I need to figure out if we are going to order Christmas cards or things w/ Drews latest pictures.
I didn't do any shopping of record this weekend. I really need to just go..I couldn't get J to go with me last week so I didn't go. We went by the mall yesterday cause his mom was getting his and his sisters pictures taken..OMG it was a mess.
OH..and YES MIZZOU GOT SCREWED!!! Royally. I agree they didn't play well against Oklahoma..we were missing Chase C. But please Kansas got a BCS Bowl...how pitiful is that..they were playing a JV schedule. Please...
We had a great time though we put up J's mom's Christmas tree and she made chili. Drew watched the game with us even though we had his Wii hooked up upstairs... he is Oh...40% interested in the game the other 60% drawing attention to himself. We're listening to the commentary (onesided) during the game and Drew breaks out into Rudolf or Silver Bells...Ahhh..good times.
For you TV hounds like myself: TNT Tonight...Yes I'm telling you to skip Samantha Who tonight. WHY you ask. Brand New Saving Grace and then a 2 hour episode of The Closer. I am SO psyched!!
Megan My Space update
Megan update. Remember when I posted THIS. Well read it again and this time read the comments. There has been some local laws being passed that may end up affecting everyone at a national level at some point, which is a good thing. (ps lazy, effecting, affecting..I never know which is which.)
There is another update today in Yahoo.
