BRB

If you've been looking for a new post lately there has been none. The holidays have been kicking my butt with more hours at work, parties, having family in town, etc. All which are very good things and have been thoroughly enjoyed, but has left me a little run down and allowed some kind of icky green snot monster to invade my system.

Will be taking the next couple weeks to...
- manage my way through the last week of 2010 work, visiting, etc
- let my health system reboot -- lots of water and vitamins for this chick!
- hopefully have readjusted work schedules that give Chad and I some weekend time that don't include having to catch up on sleep, we might even make it to a movie past 7 pm!
- pull out the card table and make some more goodies, had have great success with the stores selling for me : )

See you in a few weeks!

GUILTY PLEASURES: THE SING OFF

My latest addiction is The Sing Off, which is a reality competition for acappella music groups. The second season just started (I didn't watch the first) and I'm hooked. Ben Folds as a judge is awesome, Shawn Stockman as a judge is awesome, Nicole Scherzinger as a judge is only okay, she's kind of dingy.

These are some of my favorite performances!



The Whiffenpoofs sadly were eliminated after the second show : ( I thought they would have made it farther.



Committed is pretty awesome. I think they'll make it to the top 3.



This last group, Street Corner Symphony, is my favorite! I hope they win : )

The third show was on tonight, so I can't find videos quite yet, but they are equally amazing.

AND THE STOCKINGS WERE HUNG

This is the first year that I'll be waking up Christmas morning in my own bed! The last few years I've spent the night before at my grandparents or been out of town somewhere else. This also means that there was a need for Christmas stockings.

I generally like things to be matching and coordinated, so the idea of picking up stockings this year for 5 (my parents, brother and the two of us) and then possibly needing more in the future was kind of scary. I decided that I would be coordinated by not having anything match. Each sock is made from a patterned sweater. And when the need to have more arises I'll just cut up another old sweater. So, there's a theme and no one ever feel like their Christmas sock doesn't belong because it doesn't look like the rest. Here's the beginning of my collection!

WEEKEND MOMENT 12.12.2010

Unknowingly hit up happy hour at Sonic and got my Strawberry Limeade for $1 ... yum!!

DIGITAL WOES

When it rains, it pours ... so why would what be any different with anything digital?

Shortly after moving to Texas our camera started misbehaving (it may have been dropped once or twice?). It stopped taking pictures and we just finally got our act together to send it in. Luckily it's still under warranty!

Then about 2 weeks ago Chad had battle with a computer virus that had started doing stupid things to our computer. It took a few tries with different things, but it is now bug-free ... as well as free of any of the programs I use. I didn't realize how much I use Photoshop until it was gone! And we've both been coming and going so much nothing has been put back onto the computer. Luckily, again, we've got an external hard drive that we had back up of everything real important -- like wedding plans!

I've gotten a lot of stuff done, but will have to wait just a bit longer to share pictures - stay tuned!
