I GOT IT!!!

I can't believe I managed to get my hands on *the* hottest gift item this year. The girls will FREAK out. Heck, I"m still doing the happy dance myself! A huge shout out to my friend who not only snagged one for herself but managed to get another one and offered it to me. I've got it stored safely with the other gifts.... like the girls will even want to play with the other gifts.

We've got a busy weekend - birthday parties, the school holiday shop, basketball games, Girl Scout events... that's just all tonight and Saturday. I think on Sunday, we might decorate the house and set up the tree.

That sounds nice to me.

Cool Wedding Dance

TGIM

Thank goodness it's Monday!

Boy, I never thought I would type out that sentence. We had a great four day break and it was definitely time for the girls to get back to school. My six year old niece slept over on Saturday night. She and Youngest had a *great* time. They giggled for about an hour after I sent them into bed, at 10pm. Then, on Sunday, they were riding bikes and scooters since the weather was just sunny and beautiful, around 50 degrees. Of course, they had to jump on the trampoline too. Eldest was hanging around, playing with them on occasion and also riding her bike.

Oh! Don't know if I mentioned earlier but Youngest finally learned how to ride a two wheeler. No more training wheels - HOORAY! Of course, the Husband was exhausted but he did such a great job. He wouldn't let her quit no matter how much she carried on and cried. And boy, did she carry on and cry! Once she did it, she was quite pleased with herself, the little booger.

I've managed to get the BEST Christmas gift for the girls but I will not blog about it - yet. I've got to get it in my clutches before I can divulge the full details. Wow, sounds quite mysterious, doesn't it?

Well, off to prep for a Brownie meeting today. I've got dinner defrosting... and it's NOT turkey. Thank goodness.

"None Shall Pass"

One of the best movies ever made.

House Spoilers

Don't look below unless you have already seen tonight's episode of House...

I love why House fired Big Love. Pretty sneaky for a self-righteous religious guy. How about the scene when House realized that Cuddy wasn't wearing underwear? Bahahahahaa! "Oh My God!" indeed! The scenes with Thirteen very much reminded me of the scenes with Cameron, especially when House sent away for test results. He did the same thing to Cameron to test for AIDS. I was surprised to see him throw away the unopened envelope.

I'm SO looking forward to next week!

Blogging - My once a week habit

I have got to get back to posting a bit more frequently. But, you will see some improvements arriving to Katespot in January. Be sure to stay tuned...

I would use some good luck wishes for Monday as I have a job interview with a local school district. Honey, I needs me a J - O - B ASAP!

As usual, I've been pretty busy with the girls many activities. I'm woefully behind on my Christmas shopping and I am hoping to rectify that shortly. I just need some time!

Have a great day my peeps.

I've found my way back!

Well, I have recovered from Election Day. Not bad NJ - at least two of the four questions got voted down.

The Husband has been home sick for the past few days. He's been hacking and coughing up a storm. He's about five days behind me with the cold. Unfortunately for him, I gave him the cold about two weeks ago. At least I am feeling better!

The girls had a week off from school last week. We had so much fun when they were off. We visited IKEA (love those meatballs!) and watched the airplanes take off while eating lunch. The IKEA in Elizabeth is right by Newark Airport so it's so easy to watch the planes take off and land. The girls loved it. We also did a trip to BJ's Wholesale Club, and who can forget seeing High School Musical On Ice! That was a lot of fun. Eldest decided not to go, opting instead to visit with my mom and get some sewing lessons. She also brought a friend with her too. Youngest and I carpooled to the show with a few friends and, I must admit, the show was cute.

The girls also slept over my stepmom's house and they really had a nice time. I called over there today and she was napping! I hope she got some sleep. I was also able to visit with my adorable nephew. I can't believe he's four months old already!

Ok, it's taken me forever to write this post out so I am heading to bed! G'nite all!

Get a GRIP people!

Today is Election Day and we in NJ need a clean start. We have too many fat cats sitting around Trenton collecting your hard earned tax money while most of NJ works its ass off to pay rising property taxes. Don't even get me going on the outrageous costs of education. People are hauling ass out of NJ as fast as they can say "Buy my house - PLEASE!" Vote these people OUT - we DO have a voice. Now is the time to use it to send a message loud and clear.
And, whatever you do - please, for God's sake, vote NO on all four ballot questions. We have NO MORE MONEY TO BORROW!

Vitamin Soda?

Perhaps I've been living under a rock but today was the first time I had seen Diet Coke Plus, "the first nutrient-enhanced carbonated soda to be offered by a major brand". Enriched soda? So, I bought it and have been drinking it with my lunch. The verdict? Well, it tastes suspiciously like .. well.. Diet Coke. So, if I can manage to gleen out a couple nutrients out of it, I will continue to purchase it.
