Deck the Halls!! **wait! Stop punching me in the face!!** :(

Ah yes! It's the most wonderful time of the year. Here as promised for your viewing pleasure ladies and gentlemen, my teeny holiday offering. Standing just under 4 feet tall, it is a giant in the world of Christmas spirit and puts forth its best effort to light its little corner of the world. Although you cannot tell from this shot, the color scheme is cobalt, silver, and light blue. It really is adorable. In fact, i dare all of you to share your own holiday offerings so we can judge...er enjoy them. Stormy told me she had a peacock tree which i am refusing to believe until i see it. :D If
you haven't checked out My Space recently, i strongly suggest you do so, as it has also turned into Holiday Hullabaloo there as well. i have been crafting Christmas cards, angels, and beaded snowflakes (which unfortunately aren't as glorious as they sound and a tad time consuming... and haven't had the proper time to devote to creating the List for you all. It seems now may be my only shot at letting everyone know what i want this year, so i decided to make it easy for you. The following are mere pictures of the essence that is an M G A Roadster. I've included 2
colors here to whet your appetite but feel free to pick whichever monochromatic scale sparks your interest. i'm not a huge fan of yellow, but wouldn't outright deny it love altogether. Again, the year and model aren't set in stone, but i am leaning more toward the 70's era, as you see. i'm not picky. Any of them would look fine sitting in my driveway that frosty morn graced with an enormous festive bow. Yet another anti - stipulation to bring it into your price bracket... it doesn't even have to run. **sigh** The joys of having a mechanically inclined husband. (i will abstain from mentioning here that i have not had a side view mirror on my car for a year... and have asked repeatedly to have it repaired with NO LUCK so far... it appears his vehicle magic works for everyone but me). oh well. So, there you have it folks. The only other thing i need from you... ADDRESSES so i can send out my Season's Greetings!! e-mail them to me if you like or just call me. :) And Merry Early Christmas!! xo

No we don't ALWAYS sit around naked...

i noticed that both images i selected for this blog appear to have captured us sans clothing of any kind... so i am here disclaiming that notion. i AM wearing a towel and Gabe IS wearing boxers. :D Ahem. Anyway - it's been awhile since i entered the wonderful world of Blog so i thought i should pay my respects. i've done my hair recently and everyone was pretty impressed with the style. i'd never gone for the tongue in the light socket look and thought it was high time for a change. i sent this picture to Gabe while he was hard at work and i think he ended up laughing so hard that he broke a windshield and his boss made him pay for it. ;) He is having a grand old time at the Automotive Design where he makes crap-thirty an hour and seems to me to be RATHER unappreciated. But what do i know? i'm still at the Blind and Stutter Gallery - came close to quitting a few weeks back, then decided to recant since my "Freelance Writing" profession hasn't picked up yet. Married life is wonderful - we went Christmas Tree shopping last week but aren't allowed to put it up yet because the house is messy, Thanksgiving is this weekend and we have no ornaments to put on it. At least ONE of those stipulations will be done away with in a few days... so expect some tree pics up soon! We decided to be a little more creative this year since the family has gotten so large and some of the younger ones apparently complained about having TOO MANY PRESENTS to open. We drew names last night and are eagerly pursuing the trail of gifting pandemonium. Gabriel decided to take up a new hobby which, although i was rather shocked and amused over at first, i am now very proud of... cross stitching. He has faced good natured adversity for this but little do his antagonists know he is laboring over their gifts...
