bundles of buggles

covered in chocolate, top with fluffy marshmallows to resemble santa hats. The key ingredient to the Christmas sweet and salt candy mix. This is what sarah and I created on Friday night. It was really very easy and from cory's reaction when he got home, it was delicious too!!

a little game of

have you ever????????
1. received a boxed smoked turkey??
I have, I have. Today! [do not think i will partake, but the rest of the MEN in the office i am sure will]

2. received a super sparkly card and been told to throw it out because the sprinkles[yes you read this correct] will go everywhere. I did not obey my boss!
I have, I have. Today!

3. received a giant can of popcorn that is so delicious.
I have, I have. Today! [oxymoron: couldn't wait for the Christmas treats to start rolling in, but hate the temptation of having the delicious treats around! feel my pain!!??!!]

twas the night

to stay up until two am:
Stalking the movie set with ryan phillippe?? Oh how I wish. But something just as good, riding home from kzoo. Craft night at kristina’s house! We crafted from 6-1am! Made cute necklaces and wreaths! Had time to even make extra for Christmas gifts [reason I will not be posting the final product, per the avid readers of the blog that may receive some of these goods as gifts! Final product pictures to come at a later date]


Other exciting things that did not keep me up until 2, but I still find blog worthy:
One: went to the calvin hope hockey game Friday night in the good OLD jolly roger. Brought back memories of the good old days of being a rink rat and a whalette cheerleader. Calvin pulled off the win 4-3 and it still feels good to see hope go down in any sporting event!

Two: on my [freezing] cold run this morning found my lost credit card!! Too bad it is already cancelled. Got ‘attacked’ by a dog, meaning he free himself from his owner and jumped all on me! Bahhh then ran past the untied Methodist church sign. [always has a saying] today: Jesus is the reason for the season, don’t xmas him out!
Three: went to the nutcracker ballet at devos.

Four: watched/watching round one of home alone the full version dvd style and loving ever moment of it!

today is a good day

it is the first day of ellen's 12 days of give aways.
the routine: I first register myself, with my fingers and legs crossed and then i register my mother [with the stipulation that if she wins i get the prizes!!!!]

wish-me-luck!!!!
