Chick-Fil-A Tuesdays!!

It's Chick-Fil-A Tuesday!!!

In a household of fruits, veggies, and balanced meals, a break from the health regime is welcomed warmly once a week for a fast food splurge. Back in the day, my family had Pizza Night every Friday, where we either ordered out or made our own, taking a breather from all the hype of eating right. Granted, that was in an age before the midnight texting and date nights consumed Friday evenings, and when after school activities made weekday eating turn into weeknight eating. Nowadays, we eat together much earlier during the week, and therefore, have a new tradition: Chick-Fil-A Tuesdays!

What is your guilty pleasure?

You Know You're an Addict When...

You know you're addicted to the blog-scene when this looks like a small price to pay for blogging enjoyment:

 

It's official: I must be addicted. I didn't realize just how necessary the world of blogging was to my happiness, until this thing called the Internet stopped working, about a week ago. I am now officially going through blog withdrawals. I've got all the symptoms:

- severe boredom.
- racing creative thoughts with no outlet, whatsoever.
- anxiousness around other people's working computers.
- intense feelings of disappointment when words like "30 days of truth" and "jpeg image" pop into normal everyday conversation (which seems to happen much more frequently during blog withdrawals).
It's not the being-an-addict part of this realization that I have a problem with. In fact, I think I like my addiction. But I'm having the biggest problem accepting that there isn't a cure. Unless you count blogging from the inside of a parked minivan in a library parking lot as some sort of a remedy.
The worst part was when I decided to take pictures with my cell phone to show you exactly what my addiction has turned into, I got the dreaded "Low Battery" beep and scrambled to find my car charger, so I could take pictures. Look what I have turned into!!!! Good thing I only have 5 more days until the Saint of Internet Connections creeps down my chimney to fix the issues I'm having.

Yeahhh.... Happy New Year.

The Stockings Were Hung By The Chimmneys With Care

So, I have  no idea if I've spelled "Chimmneys" correctly, but you know what? Who cares?! Because you know why? It's almost CHRISTMAS!! :)

With all of the decorations hung, and the gifts wrapped and stowed under the tree, it's finally beginning to feel festive around here. And it's about time. :) The only thing that could make this holiday night any better would be reliable Internet access from home, so I wouldn't have to huddle in my minivan with frozen fingers in the parking lot, mooching off of the local library's WiFi connection.

I must be a weirdie.

^ some of the cute holiday cards the kids made me, before break ^

Hope everyone has a fabulous holiday!!

Tis The Season!

So the other day, I went to Starbucks (which I consider a heavenly treat!) and was uber excited when I saw that they have their seasonal red cups!! I'm sure the coveted cups have been out for a while, considering it was about a week before Christmas that I was lucky enough to snatch one up, but nevertheless I was overjoyed.

Red Cups = Christmas is coming

Coffee = Love

Coffee + Red Cups = Love + Christmas is coming = ♥ ♥ ♥!!!

 

Today has been my first day off from life in foreverrrrrr! So, in celebration, I slept my day away and crawled out of my warm covers only for pepperoni quesadillas, made fresh by my mama, just for sleepyheads. Events for the day include:
1. Wrapping bunches of last minute Christmas presents in the comfort of my *ahem* very "lived in" room (aka totally messy!)
2. Thinking about cleaning up the pre-mentioned messiness.
3. Laughing at this idea, and watching lots of Christmas movies instead. :)

4 More Days!!

What are your Pre-Christmas plans??
