Tis the Season...

to be snackie fa la la la la la la la la...loose some weight and gain it backie fa la la la la la la la la!!!! I have never ate so much (good) food as I did Christmas Day. I don't even want to see a cookie for a few weeks..... Christmas Day menu went something like this....

When I got home from work (yep I had to get up early on Christmas Day and go to work) Dad had made CHOCOLATE GRAVY AND BISCUITS!!!! Yes I am aware that this sounds gross to those of you who have not had it before, but take my word for it, it is WONDERFUL!!!

After breakfast we opened gifts (AGHHHHH! I got some wonderful stuff:) and then started to make lunch....are you ready for this loooong list of food...

Sweet and Sour Chicken....Sweet and Sour Shrimp....Sweet and Sour Sauce....Mongolian Beef.....Fried Rice....Crab Wantons...Sweet Potatoes Pie....and then a million kinds of cookies that we baked the first part of the week

Whoooo! I bet you are getting full just reading the list. Okay so the list is not that long but it was a TON of food. You know the amazing part? We have NO leftovers! To bad I forgot to take pictures :(

Here are some random pictures from the day...

Our first tree in four years....and all the presents

My new slippers :)

AGHHHHH! YEHAW!!!! Yes I like my new shoes

Tyler and Dana

Watson says "Ok now I have my new monkey, can I go back to bed?"

We had a wonderful day. I hope every one had as good a Christmas Day as I did!

Later Friends

Oh Crabbs!

*SIGH* Well my bloggie friend, I have to say it has been a roller coaster of a weekend. Let me spare you the gory details and jump right in to the best part of the weekend.... THE CRABB CONCERT!!! No it is not a bunch of pincher snapping creatures kidnapped from the windy beaches or wet oceans (or seas) and programed to play some tiny instruments...I am talking about THE Crabb family... I did not know that I was joining the family on a trek to the land of Broken Arrow (way different country or so it felt with a 32oz drink sloshing around inside me:) until Saturday after I got off of work. SO glad I went! Here a some pictures of the night....

Sorry the quality of the picture is not that great we were sitting in a bad spot for pictures

The concert was in a very nice church.....both nice building and people

The Crabbs...there are four of them two ladies and two men

The piano player.....anyone but me notice that he has no socks on? Drove me crazy!! Pet peeve #2 nice shoes with no socks on guys..... gag me

Singing the Twelve Days of Christmas....this was hilarious!

Take a look at the name on the back of this guys jacket.....Can you imagine being a kindergarten kid and trying to spell this on all your papers? I mean look at that FOURTEEN letters long...

.

It is a good thing my last name (for the time being) is Ford...four letters...easy to spell

Serious Questions......

I am not sure how many of you pay attention to the 'funny things to ponder' gadget on the side bar of my blog, but if you don't mind, allow me to point it out to you. Some of them are great things to ponder and can entertain you during long waits in the airport, when you are alone with nothing to do, or while your mom is waxing elegant on the finer points of ___________(you fill in the blank with your moms favorite lecture :). Not that I am suggesting that you tune your mom out or anything like that.......just not my style.

For the fun of it, here are a few of them to start out with.....

Why do we say "heads up" when we want some one to duck their head?

If there were a crumb on the table and you cut it in half, would you have two crumbs or two halves of a crumbs?

American mothers feed their babies with tiny spoons and forks right? Well what to Oriental mothers use...toothpicks? (not intended to offend)

Whose cruel idea was it for the word "lisp" to have a 'S' in it?

You know the guys that wear the pants that are calf length...are the pants considered shorts that are too long or pants that are too short??

Why in the world isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds?

If a cow laughed really hard would milk come out of its nose?

I must caution you though if you are like me don't try to think about more than one of these at a time.....the smoke alarm might go off....

Holiday Cheer :)

FREEDOM!!!!

My apologies, dear blog, for neglecting our correspondence. You see the trials and tribulations of life have been dogging my heels and I have just now been able to escape. I am glad to report that I have triumphed over the evils of this semester and all that is left to do is swing my sward one final time to decapitate its deplorable head :) After tomorrow I can shed the chains of writing papers and giving speeches and be a free person again. YEHAW!!!! (sorry but that is really exciting to me:)

Coming up this week is the Christmas Banquet....so stay tuned for lots of pictures




Later....
