PS. My flowers at the wedding were exactly what I did not want. literally I said I didn't want a rounded bouquet and I didn't want roses. Oh yeah did i mention I didn't want a white bouquet either. And take a gander at the photos, i have a rounded white bouquet of roses. I swear he got his " likes" and "dislikes" columns mixed up. And he never replied to the strongly worded letter he got from us either. go figure.

I DO

Even though I have yet to tell anyone that I have a blog, I may in the future and they just might want to see me in my weddin dress. So here goes.

There are 2 white mice living in my bathtub

Yes, it's true. We bought them for dwight, my ball python before realizing he had begun to shed and won't eat for another week or so. So what to do now with 5 dollars worth of mice? we put the stopper in the master bath, tipped over their cardboard carrying box, put a few cardboard toilet paper rolls in there and toilet paper to keep them warm. We've been feeding them smockhouse cheddar crackers that have been in the cupboard for months. It's actually quite cute seeing and hearing them nibble away at this huge cracker. I can't let myself become too attached though, since they are to be dwights dinner. We always get the creepy white mice with the red eyes because I feel less guilty when they die. I convince myself their eyes are red because they are evil. It works.

Now I know how ray charles felt. slightly.

I woke up today half blind. I was shocked but soon realized my right eyelid was crusted closed. I have the pink eye. No idea where I got it, all I know is I got it. All day I've been wearing my glasses (with outdated prescriptions I should add) and it has not been that pleasant. I got the night off work, but to do what? Try to watch tv and get a headache? It just hasn't been the best night. Now TJ is home, playing playstation, and I finally have a computer to play with. 20 minutes into said computer time and I am already getting bored, go figure. Falling asleep is going to be hard, seeing as how I slept from 7am till 5pm preparing to work 3rd shift again. Is it wrong to take NyQuil when you aren't sick?

Thanks-Be-Givin

Preparing for thanksgiving has commenced. We bought the turkey, a 13 pound butterball beauty. We are so excited to not be alone this thanksgiving with a butt load of food. Mom, Dad and Joel will be here.... and they can have something to give thanks for, that they don't live in mississippi. I just wish we had more things to decorate the house with. Almost everything was TJ's from before we met. The TV, the laptop, the computer, the couch, the chair, the coffee table, the end tables, etc are all very bacheloresque and very much 'used'. The two things I have contributed to the house are the dining room table with no chairs that was handed down from D&S to my parents, and then from my parents to me and desperately needs refinished, And the hutch in the kitchen that was also given to me by my parents, and also is a wreck and needs refinished. Some day.... I tell ya, my house will look like a house and not a boys dorm room. The time will come. Later rather than sooner.

Seeing an empty plate where my no-bakes once sat: Priceless

A nice batch of fresh cooked cookies. yum

I screwed up my first batch of no-bakes. How does that even happen? I forgot tomorrow after church is a lunch-dinner/ l-inner type of thing where we are supposed to bring a meat, a veggie, and a desert. SO I've been up cooking and no-baking for 3 hours now and wishing I were more julia child like and less.... me like. Oh well, they're christians, even if it sucks they'll rave about it and ask for the recipe. Thank God for that.
