Santa Who?

Todd is a Leslie Nielsen fan and saw that the movie Santa Who? was going to be on ABC Family and DVR'ed it. This morning since it is such a gloomy day out we decided to watch it. A very cute a funny movie, young kids will really like this movie.

Plot Summary cutsety of IMDB: Santa Claus develops amnesia after accidentally falling out of his sleigh and only the innocence of a small child can save him. Meanwhile, Santa has to battle the disbelief of a newsman.

Card 48 of 52 for 2009

Here is a card that we made at the Christmas Card camp about a month ago.
A pretty simple card.

Thanksgiving Joke

One of Todd's memories when he was child on Thanksgiving was one Aunt would bring lime green Jell-o with carrots in it. Sounds disgusting doesn't it? I Googled Jell-o with carrots and found a orange Jell-o with carrot recipe. I made the recipe as written but I substitute the orange Jell-o with lime.
As a joke we took it to Thanksgiving. Some of the grand kids looked at it strangely so we shared the joke with them. One of Todd's sister actually said she like that Jell-o. Ewwe!
I found out today that my BIL took the lime green Jell-o to my In-laws house and dumped it on them LOL
It was meant to be thrown away after it was displayed with all the other Thanksgiving food, but apparently it was kept and being shared.

Here is a photo of the salad. Looks sick don't it? It has Jell-o, shredded carrots, pecan chips, crushed pineapples and lemon juice in it. When I made it I thought it looked like vomit. LOL

Cousins

The only picture I took on Thanksgiving Day. (Actually nobody broke out any cameras)
Jordan's face looks a little devious but he said he as tired.

Happy Thanksgiving

May the bounty of what you are thankful for out number the bounty of food you comsume today!

Happy 20th Birthday to my boy Ethan

Happy Birthday to you Ethan!

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day

Tonight I was in the mood for a period movie so I saw this one listed on HBO on Demand; I saw that Amy Adams and Frances McDormand were the two lead characters and thought I would give it a try. What a cute whimsical movie that keeps moving. Kind of reminds me of Victor/Victoria.



Part of Plot Cursey of IMDB: War threatens London as Miss Pettigrew (Frances McDormand), a destitute governess, filches a client's card from her agency and presents herself at the door of singer Delysia Lafosse (Amy Adams). Delysia wants a social secretary as she seeks a West End role by sleeping with a feckless producer in the bed of Nick, a smarmy nightclub owner with whom she also dallies. She ignores Michael, her piano player, who loves her and has tickets for New York on the Queen Mary. Miss Pettigrew's job is to make sure Delysia gets the part. Over 24 hours, Miss Pettigrew is also called upon to help an ambitious and unfaithful fashion editor patch things up with her older fiancé, a lingerie designer. All this happens in one chaotic day in the life of Miss Pettigrew.

Card 47 of 52 for 2009

This is one of the cards that was made at my annual Christmas card camp early this month.

1st Christmas Special

Tonight BEFORE Thankgiving, I a talking before even the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving specail airs. NBC showed Merry Madagascar.

Well of course I watched it. LOL
It had all the original character voices which I LOVE. I hate it when they don't use the original artist on remakes.
It was very funny, I really enjoyed it.

I think I broke my small toe

I was leaving the bathroom this morning after showering and getting ready, I turned and didn't realize the door was partically open, my small toe and the one next to it hit the bottom of the door. I am having a lot of trouble walking on it, am in a lot of pain, the toe is swollen and cannot get a shoe on.
I am not going to the doctor, why? it's a toe, and on top of it, it's the little toe. What is he going to be able to do?
I read on the internet to tape the toe and the neighboring toe together to stablize the toe, so that's what I am doing.
Putting a shoe on tomorrow for work should be interesting.
