Her name is Betty

Ok so we had another great snow day. Normally I'm not one to play in the snow cos I hate getting cold.....but it wasn't to bad and I have My hubby and son to attack with snowballs in revenge, HA HA HA. I've also never made a snowman in my life beside itty bitty ones that sit on the porch rail, LOL. So today I took my scuplting talent to the test....TEE HEE.

Her Name is Betty........

I was cheated on, LOL.

I am her creator

Leave it to my 4yr old to mention to his Mamaw (my mom) that our snowlady had "boobies"

Meet Billy

So I was at a store the other day in the toy section and noticed those Ugly Dolls. Well my theme this year for gift giving is homemade and upcycled. So I couldn't resist making one with more a teddy bear look for the cutness. I named him billy. He's made for a little girl I know out of upcycled upholstery and vintage button with a scrap fabric heart. I know he doesn't have a mouth but I thought the eyes had enough personality that he didn't need it and my friends that was over agreed. My hubby thought it was a horrible looking bear and couldn't believe I would do this on purpose, LOL, but my 19mo old LOVED him. So I guess I'm going to have to make one for her as well....LOL. So I figure Hey if it passed my toddler test I'm sure the gift will be a hit with the toddler (leaving nameless so the parents don't know, LOL) I'm giving this to for christmas. I even added a note....

"Hi, *****!

My name is Billy.

I may not be the

Cutiest bear on the

block but I was

made with lots of

love and a unique

personality

XOXO"

So anywho, I know I've been gone awhile in the blogging world but with the holidays I've been busy busy. Busy with having fun with my family, now that my hubby is home, like going to or having christmas parties, went to an awesome Concert (first childless date we had in a LONG time, TEE HEE) and busy with getting all the christmas gifts done or bought. I kinda can't wait for the holidays to be over so I can get back to a slower routine. Though I have been enjoying life. Happy Holidays

Winter day are now officially here....

Yeah I know it's been winter for awhile. But it wasn't till this weekend I actually broke out my winter coat due to the cold and now snow. So I thought I'd share our snow fun from today.....

Christmas came early for me :D

Hubby said I need to call it my late anniv. / early christmas present. But I finally got my car I've been wanting since Saturn first came out with them. I got a 2008 Saturn Outlook XE....Isn't she pretty? Hard to tell in the scanned pic Saturn gave us but she's a midnight blue. Now I can fit in with the cool soccer moms, LOL. Not that I'm a soccer mom right now but a mom I am. It was so funny to seeing the shock on Kaylahs face when she was throwing a fit and I brought down the tv screen for the dvd player it came with. Talk about an easy way home last night since lord help me I had forgotten her "Passie" (Trying so hard to break her off of it). No one believes me that my little baby girl becomes a little demon from "Passie" withdraws. It's crazy. Now Zachary he was funny cos he thinks he gets to have his cartoons in the car all the time but I told him ONLY on LONG TRIPS! That he's lucky cos mommy and daddy never even had anything like this as a kid.....it was road bingo or other self entertaining car games....LOL. Now Granted the DVD player was a bonus cos if it was me I wouldn't have added that package into the car but it was already hooked up with one. Call me old fashion...I'm sure I'll grow old being the lady that tells "when I was your age..." stories.....but whatever. Kids today are spoiled and yes I will admit mine are at times as well. But anywho...I love my new car. I had to share my new gift I got, LOL. :D

simple change in decorating....

So back in July I decided I had enough of sleeping in a bachelor/dorm looking bedroom...because saddly when you go threw my house it's all nicely decorated (kinda)and put together...even the kids room! Then there was our room....yeah, the catch all and literally we were using old moving boxes covered with sheets as night stands....Ghetto fab I know. So I spent probably $200 on a simple redecorating...and yeah I could of really added personality to the room with some color paint but living in military housing I'm in no mood to turn around and repaint the room white when we move out let alone have to fill out the paper work with the leasing office to paint the room. It would also be nice to have a whole bedroom set but it's not in our budget right now. But for $200 I don't think I did to bad with what I had. So with the excitment of my hubby's return home from a 6mo. deployment tonight why not show off the bedroom...LOL!!! Hey it's going to be business time tonight!!! ;)....WHOO HOO!!

2nd my dorky ways or interesting odd facts however you want to look at it. Either way I'm a Dorky Gal with Crazy traits, LOL....

1. I have no fear to burp or pass gas in front of my close friends. I firmly believe God gave us these noises in humor. So yes I still laugh about it at time like I'm 6 or something and also I won a burping contest about 12 yrs ago.

2. Speaking of contest.....I sure I can play Fear Factor in bug eating. In my SR year of H.S. our history class made a sod house.....In one of the sod patch I found a worm and was goofing off with my guy friends that I was going to eat it. One bet me $5 and yes I did....I ate me an earth worm...and it wasn't the first time either. In 2002 the local radio station here in Seattle, 107 the end, was doing a game at Fright Fest (Wild Wave's Amusment parks Halloween theme) for concert tickets to Korn and other prizes...To get the prize you had to bob for them in "WORMS" when we first saw the bucket it was Spaghetti and tomatoe sauce so My husband and I signed up to do it.....When the game started we found out there were actually earthworms also in it. My husband chickened out but when it came to my turn I was more in it than the big tuff looking guys before me. I even made the DJ feeling sick watching me bob for a prize taking in mouth full of worms and spaghetti to move it out of my way (cos you couldn't use hands). I had them flying all over the place. It was all in my hair, down my shirt....I was gross....Needless to say in the min. time though I didn't win anything but I did leave with a CD cos of how into it I got. LOL. My husband was sooo appalled by me, LOL.

3. I have a compulsive dissorder to make sure the front door is locked....it would be nothing for me to leave the house walk down the street then turn around to check the door again like 3 or 4 times. Till I have to tell myself the door is lock over and over again in my head. I also have the same issue with my car that I'll put the alarm on when it locks but if I don't remember hearing the beap I'll do it again after walking past 4 cars in the parking lot.

4. I don't know if this is strange or unusual but I have a clicking jaw. Due to me having a small mouth and crowded teeth. So if I open it up to wide like yawning it pops. ( get your mind out of the gutter!)

5. hummm...Oh when I was in grade school I had an obsession with Denim and Plaid. One year I think it was my 5th grade year all I wore was denim and plaid. I even had a denim jumpsuit and Denim converse shoes with purple Plaid inner lining. Those were the best and if I could get my hands on converse like that I'd wear em still. I mean even to this day I like denim and plaid....My bedding use to be till I redecorated this summer was Denim and the sheets were green and blue plaid. LOL. I even tend to lean towards Denim and plaid fabrics too when I go out for craft supplies or buying my kids cloths.

6. Japanese toliets!! I know it's been over almost 8 yrs since I last seen one of these thing but I swear in the potty world they tramatized me. I can't just plop a squat and go. I have bladder shyness and so I have to feel that Cold Porclien on my butt. It was nothing in Japan if we were road tripping and I had to go, that when we pulled up to a stop and I would potty dance my way in that you would see me come running right back out. Telling my husband we must find a western toilet. I even went all day holding it till the wish was made. This is a pic of my potty nightmare.....

Oh and here is a FUNNY comic I found online about Japanese toliets and how to use em'...

http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~AD8Y-HYS/movie.htm Yes that would of been me in the last screen...I'm sure of it. Cos I'm not graceful one bit.

7. Ok this isn't to strange or in the dorky factor (but since rockerchic already posted her dorkiness of being a Sims2 Addict I couldn't very well put that in mine)but it's something alot of people never realize unless my hubby and I are standing together or I'm wearing heals cos he thinks me being even taller is flippen' HOT....but yes I'm taller than my hubby. He's 5'5" and I'm 5'8" (sorry I couldnt' find a recent picture of us showing our height diffrents besides Halloween last year)
