Highly Entertaining....: baby it's COLD outside!

It's flippin' freezing outside! Here are a couple of things that are keeping me warm..

Nothing like a hot cup of chamomile tea to warm my chilly bones :)

Snuggling under this beautiful afghan that Sandy knit for me.. perfect colors! I met Sand y and her husband, Don (hi, guys!) while working at the BBC. They have been regular customers, and good friends. A few weeks ago they came in for dinner (BOGO pizza night, of course!) toting a rather large bag. Hmmmmmm.. Sandy had knit a georgous, queen sized blanket as a wedding gift for Bob and I. Can I tell you I was moved almost to tears? Many of you know how easy that is for me, but seriously. I was so touched. Sandy, you are amazing and I am so fortunate to have the privelege of knowing you and Don. Your handiwork is keeping this little family cozy as we gather on the couch at night watching re-runs of Everybody Loves Raymond.

... and this is my feeble attempt at knitting :) Just a little somethin'-somethin' that I'm tinkering with while I chill out after dinner. Who knows who this little scarf will end up warming this winter?

Something that made me giggle this morning...I ran across a link to this video, which totally reminded me of the dance-fever that was my wedding reception. While the folks in the video clip seem to have done some sort of rehearsal, the impromptu dance-off between Griffin and Bob was certainly not. I think Jen got the whole exchange on her digital camera... maybe we'll have to work on figuring out how to upload it and give you all a peek.

VERY busy day ahead of me.. we'll see how much I am actually able to cross off my to-do list..

Laundry (I'm guessing at least four loads..)
Pay bills (YUCK!!)
Oil change for the Saturn
Wal*mart run.. I haven't been in over a month!!
Grocery shopping
Town Hall for copy of marriage certificate
Social Security Office... oops, I realized I never changed my name at soc. sec. when I got married!
work on store stuff... BIG ol' list of projects to complete..
umm... I feel like I'm forgetting something...

wish ERIN A HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY!!! Yo, yo, yo! Happy birthday to the **coolest** person named Erin that I know! Hope the trip to the liquor store and your virgin purchase of those 40's goes well for you.... You ROCK!!

<------ if you see this girl today (or this week, she's allowed a week for the big 2-1) wish her a happy birthday and give her lots of presents..
