Why does the media always concentrate on the bad news? Why can't they give us good news too? The Sun-Gazette seems to mostly tweet bad news.

Ben wanted to sleep in the hall with the christmas lights tonight 11/29/09

Christmas lights we strung up temporarily for Ben 11/29/09

Ok. I've delt with this body rash long enough. Gonna find a clinic that can take me tomorrow and find out what the hell is going on.

SQUIRREL!

What an incredible book! So many twists and turns. I LOVE IT! I just wish it didnt end :(

It's hard to read through tears. The fight for Hogwarts is on.

Deathly Hallows wastes no time getting to the point, eh? Poor Hedwig :(

For Chris & Kris, I've gotten Dove unscented sensitive skin deoderant and Lubriderm sensitive skin therapy 0 lanolin, dye & frangrance. It seems to be helping.

Thawing the turkey breast now. Gonna make some homemade mac-n-cheese and some candied sweet potatoes. Its thanksgiving at our house today.

What an amazing family I have here in PA! I was so excited about today & I wasnt disappointed. The Grafius are an amazing bunch of people!

A mysterious rash is taking over my body.

96 bite-size no bake cookies are made. I'm done for the night. All I should have to do tomorrow is cook all the stuff I've pre-made tonight.

Cookies are cooling. Kitchen is clean...for a moment...I want to boil the eggs tonight in preparation for deviled eggs tomorrow. Almost done. Whew!

Well, round 1 of cooking is done. Gotta clean up the mess & prepare for round 2. Gonna make my Baybee some no bake cookies :) Luv ya honey!

Dinner done (homemade chicken tenders, garlic mashed potatoes & broccoli) and cornbread dressing ready to be put together.

Short break then I am up to make dinner and some cornbread for the dressing. Also have to sautee the onions and celery in some butter.

Doing the tedious work of finely chopping onion and celery for my cornbread dressing.

Oww my eyes! This onion I got is strong. My eyes :(

Brrr...I'm cold to the core today.

What kind of soap do you use? I use Dove unscented for sensitive skin.

Wish I could take a picture of the "rain" to show you. Its more like HEAVY fog. I wouldnt even call it mist. Definitely not a sprinkle either.

Mike was picking on Ben and Ben was whinning "STOP! I'M BEN!" To which Mike replied "Oh, that explains it all." lol

Ben sittin on the ottoman between my legs 11/24/09

I dont think he is feeling like himself today. He`s been kinda lathargic. It is a rainy day out today though.

I don't know what to say. I just watched Seven Pounds. I'm speechless.

This is how we make our coffee now lol 11/23/09

Mike likes my stove top made coffee. It pays to know how to make tea in a sauce pan via steeping. It makes for a good cup of coffee too!

Ben`s birthday balloons from 10/28/09 are still floating! 11/23/09

This is how Ben watches Shaun the Sheep 11/23/09

My 4 year old son thinks he's a Jedi. There are constant light saber battles in the house. He uses the dark side & Darth Mauls light saber.

Gonna look for more Doc Martin videos at the library :) Great show!

Ben turned around from the puter & saw me eating a banana, he hopped over to me, looked at the banana & then me, broke off a chunk & hopped over to his dad.

The carafe broke to our coffee maker so Mike made coffee on the stove top this morning. Maybe we will try my iced tea maker next time?!?!

Forty yummy, delicious Hershey`s Fudgy No Bake cookies :) 11/22/09

Well, I went back to the store and got the vanilla. The original Hershey's Fudgy No Bake cookies are made. They smell wonderful too!!!

Apples and peanut butter it is then. I'll make cookies tomorrow.

Gonna make some Hershey no bake cookies if I can find the recipe. Crap! Nevermind, I forgot to get vanilla. I have everything else though.

Just realized something. Three of the sexiest men on the planet, in my opinion, are named Hugh. Hugh Laurie, Hugh Grant and Hugh Jackman.

Home

Ben climbed up onto Mike`s shoulders while he was on the floor changing dvds in the player.

We have discovered that Ben won't eat pizza if it's not cut in the traditional triangular shape :) kids!

A few pictures from my camera. Had to put them on the computer to transfer them to my phone so I could share them. Enjoy. (having to split them up to send them)

I'm still cold from being at the parade...will I ever warm up again? Brrrrrrr

Billtown Holiday Parade 11/20/09

I'm sitting next to Tom Woodruff Jr at the Billtown Holiday Parade!

Dinner tonight will be individual meatloaves, buttered corn, buttered peas, yellow squash with vidalia onions and mashed potatoes.

Time to get the day started, I suppose. What a dreary day though.

I hope Santa brings me a Magic Bullet for christmas.

Its so wierd to see propane commercials.

Mike, Ben and I are watching The Muppet Movie...Dom DeLouise...I sure do miss him. He was funny! Great entertainer.

The Interview

So, I had my interview with Linda at Hillside in Montoursville today. I got the job. I was hired on the spot. Linda said she never does that but she really liked me. The interview was really great. We laughed a lot. The downside to all of this is that I have to wait for my FBI clearance to come back before I can start. And that could take up to eight weeks. I guess I will just sign up at a couple of temp agencies in the mean time.

Ben`s playnook atthe back of the house :)

This should be pics of Bens shopvac box airplane

Tried Google SMS (46645)? Get the answer to a question. Want the weather (weather + zipcode). Looking for a place (place + zipcode). Get it?

Creative expression with Ben means he just turned a shopvac box into an airplane :)

I'm tired and not feeling up to par tonight...I hate AF!

Interview went well. Should hear back on it soon. Have another interview on Monday.

Muh boy is going to sleep watching Kermit's Swamp Years and I am in the livingroom watching Cujo...Mike kinda is too :)

Now to figure out how to link my FB, Twitter and Blogger together :) They are all mobile now!

Checking out the mobile blogger to see if its set up right.
