Oh Christmas tree!

Well my duties for today are accomplished! I have finished my Christmas shopping and now our tree doesn't look like it was decorated by a sheltered workshop! It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas......
...complete with real yummy sweet pepperminty candy canes!

You little Rippa!

Monday Wash up

The weeks leading up to Christmas are always hectic, and this week was no exception! I draw your attention to the weekend we have just passed! Friday night started out with dinner and drinks at the Oakes to celebrate Noodle's 1/4 of a century! Aww he think's he's people!
Saturday day brought Christmas tree shopping and a manual driving lesson! Getting the tree was easy enough (I just let Flit do it!) and boy is it a fine specimen....we both agreed though that our decorations leave alot to be desired, so in the spirit of our new life together I am going to revamp our tree's look too! hmmm...when will I get a chance to do this?....umm....I know! I'll just do it today! It's not like I'm doing anything else! (For Jenny's info: I resigned last week and am now stuffing around doing everything else but work for the remainder of my notice).
...now on to the manual driving lesson.....hated every minute of it! Will not be learning to drive Flit's car! Will happily exist on public transport for the next few weeks till I buy a new car! Will not be talked in to trying it again! EVER!....so there!

Saturday night brought a fabulous party, (complete with pre-party calendar shoot...I hope you're all inspired to get your personal shots in soon!) some silly costumes......some romance......and a mixture of silly costumes and romance...
we warmed that house good! and of course helped Shari celebrate her 26th in style too!

Sunday saw us drive out to Coogie to say a fond farewell to Nikki and Trent who are heading off on the 5th January to start a new adventure in Hong Kong! Good luck to them.....totally scary, but also very exciting and brave!

So now it's back to Monday...only 7 more sleeps till Santa comes!!!!! Woohoo!!

A blind man enters a Ladies Bar by mistake. He finds his way to a barstool and orders a drink. After sitting there for awhile, he yells to the bartender,"Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?" The bar immediately falls absolutely quiet. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, sir, I think it is just fair - giving that you are blind - that you should know five things:

1 - The bartender is a blonde girl.

2 - The bouncer is a blonde girl.

3 - I'm a 6 feet tall, 160 LB. blonde woman with a black belt in karate.

4 - The woman sitting next to me is blonde and is a professional weightlifter.

5 - The lady to your right is a blonde and is a professional wrestler.

Now think about it seriously, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke? The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head, and declares,

"Nah, ......................................................

Not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times."

And a random photo:
