Fist Pump Friday Christmas List Edition

Holy moly, Christmas will be here in no time! Do you have all your shopping done? I only have my mom left, and she's frickin' impossible! If you need some help, here are a few things that I am giving this year!





*Alphacritter Mousepad

This is the cutest gift idea! Of course Anthropology always has the best stuff, and at $12 these are a steal. Mine would be a tiger, and I want it. Hint Hint.

*Aurora World plush toys

Lincoln has been obsessed with these YooHoo and Friends stuffed animals for the longest time! He calls them his "friends", and carries them around and sets them up places. They are cute, and they make different little noises when you squeeze them. They came out with these cute "Retro" YooHoo's, and I knew I had to have them. I got him the "60's British Rocker" who is clearly modeled after a Beatle, and the super cute "Love" YooHoo, who makes little kissing sounds! I also got the "Paws Puppets" for my nephew, and the"Fancy Pals" pet carrier for my niece. All of these are under $20, and if you order before Dec. 18th, your guaranteed delivery by Christmas!

*Rhino Toys Oballs

Oballs are amazing (Sounded dirty didn't it?? Well you need to get your mind outta the gutter.) They are these jelly-plastic balls full of holes that make them great for kids to catch and throw. Plus, they are impossible to tear-up and are soft enough to not hurt anyone with! I got the Bat & Oball set and Oball footballs for Lincoln and every other boy on my Christmas list. Bat sets are $14.00 and footballs $8.99, and as long as you order by the 18th, your guaranteed to have them before Christmas!

Good luck getting your shopping done, and have an awesome weekend!

Weekend Review

Happy (or notsohappy) Monday!

I was dreading coming back to work this morning, especially after having such a great weekend.

Friday got the weekend started right with a date night with my honey. We began the evening with dinner at Tokyo Japan, and it was awesome.

edamame/egg roll/Japenese poatato cake/Hibachi Chicken=AMAZING

Then we finished the evening by Christmas shopping. Seriously, party animals. 

Sunday we carved pumpkins, and it brought back some serious childhood memories!

My favorite part is roasting the seeds. So good!

To please the kid, I carved Iron Man and Richard did Wolverine. It was so hard, but he loved them. And thats all that matters!

Hope you guys had a great weekend! I'm so ready for this next weekend. 

Friday: Richard turns the BIG 3-0!!

Saturday: Our 8 year anniversary!

Sunday: HALLOWEEN!!!

I asked the waiter...

We were sans child this weekend, as he was off camping with Richards parents, so we took the opportunity to have a little date night. We joined our friends Wade and Sarah for some patio dining at a local restaurant, and prepared ourselves to have delicious drinks and good food. And while the food was good and the drinks were delicious, the waiter was a big f'ing failure!

He came to take our orders, and started by asking Wade what he would like.

Wade: "I'll take the blah blah blah margarita, frozen please."
Shitty waiter: "Ummm.....I don't think we can do it frozen."
Wade: "Oh. Really??"
Shitty waiter: "Yeah. I'm pretty sure someone asked last week and the machine was broken."


Someone asked LAST WEEK?? and you haven't gotten to the bottom of this yet?? But whatever, he was clearly new, so we'll let this slide... Next, Richard is up.

Richard: "Do you have any beer specials tonight?"
S.W.: "Aww, shit man. I don't know. I would have to go check and see."


(we wait for him to offer to go check. he doesn't.)

We order anyways, and when he leaves we immediately crack up at his AMAZING waiter skills. But we weren't laughing for long, because 20 minutes later we had still not gotten our drinks! Dude finally shows back up, empty handed. He informs us that he doesn't have a liquor license, and therefor can't bring us our drinks, so we will have to wait on the manager to deliver them. The manager finally does deliver them, and we casually mention that we intend to drink quite a bit, in hopes that he will take the hint and get us another server. He doesn't. So all night we have to prematurely order our drinks to ensure that we wont have to be without a cocktail for 20+ minutes.
It was RIDICULOUS!

And I totally get that you are not going to know every detail about a new job right away, but seriously, dude needs to up the ante on his customer service skills! I believe when someone ask you something you don't know, the appropriate response is "Let me go find out for you," not "Aww shit man, I don't know."

But I could be wrong.

What the frick??

Where the hey did my weekend go?? 

It feel like just yesterday I was happy dancing my way outta here, and now here I am right back at my desk. Boo.

Friday night we celebrated the start of the 3 day vacay by watching some flicks and hittin the sack early. We watched "Did You Hear About the Morgans?", which was surprisingly funny, and helped heal my broken heart about not getting to go see SATC 2. 

Saturday the fam and I enjoyed a delicious meal at Chili's, and went to an art fair where our friend was selling some paintings. 

That night I partied hard with a Twilight marathon and put up a new wall decal in our bedroom.

I love the new decal, but that little bitch was SO hard to put up, with all the tiny branches. 

Watch out for another decal giveaway this week!

Sunday we awoke to Lincoln having a temperature, so we called it a bed day. We refused to get dressed, and lounged in bed ALL day, playing PlayStation, eating nachos, and sipping root beer floats.

Fat. Ass.

Monday Lincoln was all better, so we hit up the zoo. It was all fun and games until Lincoln's beloved paci mysteriously disappeared into the ostrich enclosure. 

Dude was NOT happy.

He fell asleep on the way home with nightmares of dirty ostriches running around all willy nilly with his binky.

That was my 3-day weekend. Pretty exciting, huh?

What did you do with your time off??

Knock knock...

Who's there??

Monday.

Monday who??

Who frickin cares, it's Monday, and we are NOT friends.

But you, I like you. 

How was your weekend?? 

Really good, I hope. Mine was fun, but a little too short for my liking. Plus, there were torrential down pours all weekend, so that always puts a damper on things. 

Saturday night we rented out the kid to the highest bidder and went for Mexican food and margaritas with our besties, Wade & Sarah,

followed by more drinks back at our house and plenty of games. 

And while that was LOTS of fun, the next day was not so much fun. I was hard core hung over, and spent the whole day recovering from the copious amounts of booze I ingested.

So needless to say I literally spent the entire day curled up on the couch with my favorite boys.

(I like the pants-less one the best)

How was your weekend??

Weekends are just too short...and Monday's a dirty bitch.

Ahhh...Monday. You have sucked the fun out of me. My dear Saturday and Sunday are already a distant memory, all because of stupid, hoe bag Monday. I hate you, Monday. I really, really hate you.

Lets reflect on the fun-filled life that Monday has stolen from me, yet again.

This weekend I spent hours preparing plastic meals with Lincoln. There were such masterpieces as ice-cream pizza, and corn and chicken stew. Delicious!

I found an awesome array of vintage patterns at the Goodwill. Do you see that fantastic crop top?? I will NOT be wearing it.

I discovered won-tons, and all the amazing things that can be done with them. Homemade jalapeño poppers and crab rangoon anyone??? Yes please!

And worked on perfecting the art of the duckface. I feel like Im just not there yet...I need more practice if I ever want to be able to duckface as well as these girls:

How was your weekend????
