The task was to pick *my* favorite HNT (of mine) from this past year. Which is always VERY difficult for someone as obsessive as me. I suck at making decisions, I rock at IN-decision (lol). You have no idea how close I was to doing a collage of ALL of them. Doh! I did it though, I came close and was able to narrow it ‘down to’ three…

I offer this advice for someone no longer in my life. 

I rarely see this person.  I have next to no contact with them.  But we are forever tied by two precious entities.  I have made mistakes in my life. I have taken roads possibly I shouldn’t have.  Wished I’d made different, better choices for myself.  I could harbor animosity and anger over a great number of things.  From the past and the present….concerning this person.

But I don’t. 

I.
just.
don’t.

But he does. 

*shrug* 

Oh well.

*****

I know I said CQW would be back this week but fuck if I’m not feeling run ragged and stressed.  We have done SO much driving and running around since the kids got out of school last week.  Children transporters extraordinaire. 

Don’t get me wrong, I have enjoyed the holiday.  I always do.  But now with New Years just around the corner and extravagant plans having been made….it seems one of the many things that I’m not finding time for is Blogland (my OCD is in massive overdrive and I’m putting so many things aside which only makes my OCD *worse*).  I appologize to my friends who’s blogs I haven’t been by, I miss you all.  So rather than post something I know I won’t have time to follow up on or respond to (which I like to do with CQW in particular), I will postpone the topic for next week.  Tune in for HNT though!  One more theme- Year End Favorite.  Followed by a special Year End Friday Favorites!

Happy HUMP Day!!!

The Last of ’09 Edition: I did the questions this week, don’t bag on ‘em too much. (LOL)

1. On a scale of 1-10, how good was your 2009?
8?  Started out um…rocky.  I’d say first half was a bit stressful, but definitely improved and we’re going out with a bang.  :)

2. What are your favorite/naughtiest/sexiest/most fun 2009 memories?
Roxy’s hot tub parties…..  Oh!  Roxy’s birthday wkend!  MY birthday party at Coyote Ugly! (WOOT!)
Hehe….we’re so bad.

3. What’s the one thing you thought you would never do, but did in 2009?
I’m sure it would be along the lines of something(s) I agreed to that I never thought I would.  *ahemPCknowswhatI’mtalkingaboutahem*

4. What do you want to change in 2010?
I’d like to find that special girl ‘friend’ *winkwink*
In all seriousness, it’s hard for me to try to focus on things I’d like to change.  I really try to roll with things, my favorite motto is “It is what it is”.  I’m not saying you shouldn’t strive for better, for improvement, OF COURSE you should.  But to dwell on what sucked, where does that get you?!

5. What is your all-time favorite gift (whether given or received by you)?
My engagement ring.  It was my dream come true and I was completely taken off guard. 
..::happy sigh::..

Bonus (as in optional): On special holidays- like birthdays, anniversaries, ringing in the New Year, -are you more inclined to do a sex act that you wouldn’t “normally” do? (things like fellatio/cunnilingus, anal sex, strap-ons/toys, videoing yourself/pictures, menage-a-trois/quatres, etc.)
Yes.  And I firmly belived everyone should have sex of some kind on their birthday!  I gave PC a nice surprise for his bday two years back involving a strap on.  *evil grins*

*snicker*  This is funnier than hell.

TFT is up!  Go check it out.  It’s still the Holiday Season and I’ve added a bunch of new links suggesting ways you can help out over the holidays.  ‘Tis the Season to show our troops how much we care.  This is about giving back to those who give all.  Remembering our troops during the holidays can be critical for morale.

The site is always looking for contributors.  If you’ve thought about wanting to do it- there is no time like the present!  If you have before but it’s been awhile- we miss you!  All you have to do to help support our troops is EMAIL ME!  Help boost some morale!

Happy TMI!!!

Ah…I’m a bit relieved to have the rush of Christmas come to an end. We had an incredible one, very much so. But gah am I run ragged. SO much was packed into the days between Wednesday and Sunday.

PC and I celebrated the night before Christmas Eve (did you follow that?! *LOL*) at The Melting Pot. It’s our most favoritest place to go. Sooooo romantic and *YUMMY*!  Have I mentioned my obsession with cheese?!  Mmmmm……..  And when our fabulous waiter (seriously, of all the times we’ve gone this time was close to the best) found out I was a vegetarian he brought an additional plate of exotic veggies for me- on the house, to boot! 

…::HAPPY SIGH::….

The only downside was that Santa decided to grace us with a White Christmas by dropping a massive snow storm on us.  It snowed.  And snowed.  OMFG….SO. MUCH. SNOW.

Much prettier to look at in pictures than it was to drive two hours home in (or uh, wait for our car to be brought up from valet bc they had lost the keys to the vehicle that had been parked directly in front of ours- BRRRR.).

Christmas morning came and surprisingly, the same little boy that had asked while I was tucking him in ‘the earliest he could get up’ had to be woken up at 7:00 a/m!  The DOGS were ready to get up before the kiddos were.  WTF?!

Santa knows what to get a shoe whore……

Fabulous shoes!
(Betsey Johnson seriously makes THE most wicked cool shoes)

And fabulous boots.

 
BUT.  The biggest surprise was this:

The Olympus E-P2.  A few months back I started talking about wanting to upgrade to a nicer camera.  If you read my Holiday Gift Guide (tsk, tsk, you should have!) I posted earlier in Dec, one very similar to this one was near the top of Maxum’s list.  I am in *lust*.

And…. *drum roll please*  The biggest of all presents…..


Have you guessed yet?!?!


My sister, Roxy and I are going to Vegas Baby!!!!  Mid-January.  Look out….can the town handle the three of us?!  Hehe….  We are GIDDY with excitement!

LM’s favoritest present…..  What all little boys want- creepy Wolfman costumes, no?!  Seriously, I’ve told you about his weird costume obsession, lol.

All PC wants for Christmas is um….cleavage?  *snort*
(I didn’t crop this pic, it downloaded like this)

AND finally, what Vixen, the adoring wife who knows just the right gift to buy her husband who has everything Santa got PC……

The tattoo he has been lusting after/hinting for/we’ve talked about for over 3 years now.  Let me tell you, it’s DIFFICULT to measure, plan, colaborate and *SURPRISE* your husband with a tattoo!  But I did it.  *grins*

Valkyrie Wings!  The outline at least.  It took our tattoo artist 2.5hours to complete the first phase (second phase will include shadowing/shading/details of the feathers).  He said it hurt like fucking hell barely at all. ~wink~

Christmas gift suggestions:
To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect.
~Oren Arnold

Hope your holiday was awesome.  New Years is just around the corner!

The theme this week is called “Three Wishes”.  You are to gift to three HNTers.  This is something I began obsessing about quite awhile ago (I know, I know…you’re surprised, bc duh- it’s what I do, lol).  So here ya go. 

CLICK on the presents.

Minority Report- 
This poor girl has had so many health issues.  Or rather ‘an’ issue that is ongoing and they keep putting her through crap trying to ‘figure out’ how to make her better.   So….

and this should help as well….

Kenny- 
He’s had his heart broken and continues to be on the search for a soul mate.  He’s sexy, compassionate, heartfelt and honest.   Where is his Cinderella?!

So to him,

with…..

….she would be stunningly beautiful, sexy, kind and compassionate.

Dana-
There are two things she needs to help give her new life a little boost.

Stupid deer hitting innocent cars….so she needs this:

and hey, this can always help!

And since I’m a giver and wouldn’t want anyone to feel left out. A little something for everyone else.

Evening plans consist of a super romantic dinner date at a swanky restaurant we adore *SWOON*. Probably won’t make rounds until Thursday. Because of the nature of this weeks HNT *and* it being Xmas day on Friday, no Friday Favorites this week. But do check back….. ~grins~

Happy Holidays and HNT!!!

CQW will be back next week. In the meantime- more ‘fluff’.

(Sung to Holly Jolly Christmas)

Have a hottie naughty Christmas!
It’s the breast time of the year!
Lotsa “elves”,
With lovely shelves,
And red-furred white-trimmed rears!

Have a hottie naughty Christmas!
Ev’ry Star Trek geek’ll cheer -
“Oh my Scotty, beam me up a naughty Christmas, this year!”

(***sultry sleigh-bell interlewd***)

Have a hottie naughty Christmas!
With a case or two of beer -
Get her blotty!
Have a hottie naughty
Christmas,
This year!

Mute Monday-
I was completely saddened to find out about Britney Murphy’s death on Sunday.  It prompted this weeks subject of the theme.

(click the link above for this weeks participants and theme, or the button to see what MM is all about)

My more ‘official’ annual Year in Review post will be up next week or soon around there.
******

So….  The kids and I managed to finish all our baking AND frosted all the cookies AND got them divied up into appropriate containers to go to the right people.  Huge relief off my shoulders.  And it was all done with minimal fighting/kiddo issues.  Mission completed with patience in tact.  Awesome.

We did our time standing in line to see Avatar in IMAX 3D and was totally not disappointed.  Incredible movie!  Unfortunately we had to see a late showing and LM fell asleep near the end.  Which sucked bc he really was enjoying it.  Poor kiddo.

NOW the real craziness begins.  The big count down to Christmas.  Kiddos have two more days of school.  Shopping and wrapping is finished. 

Have I mentioned before how much I *LOVE LOVE LOVE* Christmas time!!??!

Happy Monday!!!

RIP Britney……

I’ve put this up previous years and it’s on of those posts that are fun to recycle.  :)

Dear Santa:

Listen you ugly little troll, I’ve been helping you out every year, playing at being the perfect Christmas Present, wearing skimpy bathing suits in frigid weather, and drowning in fake tea from one too many tea parties, and I hate to break it to ya Santa, but IT’S DEFINITELY PAYBACK TIME! There had better be some changes around here this Christmas, or I’m gonna call for a nationwide meltdown (and trust me, you won’t wanna be around to smell it). So, here’s my holiday wish list:

Santa:

1. A nice, comfy pair of sweat pants and a frumpy, oversized sweatshirt. I’m sick of looking like a hooker. How much smaller are these bathing suits gonna get? Do you have any idea what it feels like to have nylon and velcro crawling up your butt?

2. Real underwear that can be pulled on and off. Preferably white. What bonehead at Mattel decided to cheap out and MOLD imitation underwear to my skin?!? It looks like cellulite!

3. A REAL man…maybe GI Joe. Hell, I’d take Tickle-Me Elmo over that wimped-out excuse for a boytoy Ken. And what’s with that earring anyway? If I’m gonna have to suffer with him, at least make him (and me) anatomically correct.

4. Arms that actually bend so I can push the aforementioned Ken-wimp away once he is anatomically correct.

5. Breast reduction surgery. I don’t care whose arm you have to twist, get it done.

6. A jogbra. To wear until I get the surgery.

7. A new career. Pet doctor and school teacher just don’t cut it. How about a systems analyst? Or better yet, a public relations senior account exec!

8. A new, more hip persona. Maybe “PMS Barbie”, complete with a miniature container of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and a bag of chips; “Animal Rights Barbie”, with my very own paint gun, outfitted with a fake fur coat, bottle of spray on blood and handcuffs; or “Stop Smoking Barbie,” sporting a removable Nicotrol patch and equipped with several packs of gum.

9. No more McDonald’s endorsements. The grease is wrecking my vinyl.

10. Mattel stock options. It’s been 44 years–I think I deserve it.

Ok, Santa, that’s it. Considering my valuable contribution to society, I don’t think these requests are out of line. If you disagree, then you can find yourself a new bitch for next Christmas.

It’s that simple.

Yours truly,
Barbie
