Awww!

Good morning! This cute little guy's name is Cicero, and he wants to say HI! He is my mascot that leans up on my computer and acts cute (he's really good at that ;) ). My friend made him for me, and I bet she'll make you one too! Here is her shop. She's adding new stuff today :D She is the best doodler I've ever seen. Period. But she is a crafter, and makes monsters, picture frames, paintings, and other neat little goodies! *wink* you should get a monster to be your friend *wink*

'Ello Guvna!

Hola readers! Sorry I haven't posted anything, I've been busy! But, we all know what is just around the corner, don't we? Thanksgiving! :D Thanksgiving, among other things, marks the start of Calorie-fest '09! It's also home to: eating cinnamon rolls while watching the parade, making cranberry sauce, and having all 14 of us in one home. It doesn't even get crowded! But, it is also the 1st of many fires to be set ablaze in my wood stove :D So, if you have any fun traditions or recipes, feel free to share! On another note, IT'S 34 DEGREES OUT :D I *LOVE* cold weather :D :D :D

The entire "Long Road Home" by John Fogerty/CCR

Some John Mellencamp Stuff

Multiple albums by Crosby, Stills and Nash (and Young)

Not too long ago I bought "The Hazards Of Love" by The Decemberists (The only Emo music I will ever listen to)

A bunch of The Eagles

And 8 hours and 31 minutes of Elton John stuff (Bought that all myself)

So there you have it, Just a small peak into my iTunes library. I promise something more interesting tomorrow!

The season of awesome is here

So, due to tropical depression Ida, we had rain ALL day yesterday, which meant Starbucks, of course! My brother was at play practice, so dad and I went to target to get some things, and then to Starbucks. Now, you can tell that it's my favorite time of year, just by looking at the cups! Red cups mean Christmas time is just around the corner :D It's the season of coffee, cold weather *LOVE* wood stoves, and winter break. Coffee. We all know how much I like coffee. I drink it every morning when I watch CNN, and then the today show (I'm a routinist), while I'm blogging. Cold weather. It's awesome. It gives a feeling of safety and security when you're inside a warm house. It makes you want hot chocolate every afternoon. It's gloomy a lot more, another comfort of being inside. It is the season of hoodies and pea coats. Speaking of hoodies, I just got an awesome new one at target, that is warmer than the sun will ever be. Wood stoves. There is one in the living room of my house, see earlier posts for a pic. That thing makes for a wonderful heating system, considering it is our main heating element for this house, it does pretty dang good. I like to say I have another one in my room, because my plasma tv puts of as much heat as that stove! keeps me nice and toasty. Winter break. The home of snowball fights and Halo 3 custom games. We always stay up all night playing Xbox with friends, talking about how our year has been. Great times. It'll be great again this year if MICRO$OFT FIXES MY FRIKKIN XBOX! That is all. signing off.

And so I am mad

Remember when I ranted about Micro$oft and Xbox? Well I mentioned in there that my most recent Xbox only lasted 9 months, and I thought that was due to it being a refurb. Well IT WAS’NT! I had a BRAND NEW Xbox, in a good environment, that lasted 9 MONTHS. Thats not very long to me. I payed a lot of money for that, and I’ve payed a lot of money on warranties, so I wouldn’t have to wait if it broke. Oh wait, IT SHOULDN’T BREAK! So, since that Xbox isn’t a refurb, I have to send it in. I planned on taking it in to my local Game crazy, using my system swap warranty. It states that it is valid 90 days after purchase, or replacement, in my case, to swap a refurb. But, since it’s not a refurb, the warranty kicks in after the Micro4oft warranty ends. That’s December 22 ’09. I’m not gonna wait that long. So, due to a series of cheap events, I will have a new Xbox in 2-4 weeks. Oh, did I mention that the print out UPS label doesn’t work? So I have to wait for them to mail me one! Add another week to that. Thanks again Micro$oft, for a happy holiday season.

May my absence be over

the past few days have been without blogger, due to my sleeping. I am sorry, and will try my best to pack the rest of the week full of articles. Monday morning, my mother left for California, to help with her parents. So, we’re “batchin’” it this week. this week will be blog packed and busy. My brother does sound for a local theater company, and their upcoming play is next week, and that makes me happy. It makes me happy because the bunch of people there are a wonderful, fun group of people, and this time I get to help build the set. I always help take it down, but it’s nice to do something more than that this time. Plus the cast parties are a blast.

So, I just realized that the paragraph above is just a bunch of thought tidbits. Now on to the real posts.
