I promised Dana I wouldn't post this picture.

But, at the end of the day, there's really no other pic that expresses the evening of shopping for gifts for my babies more than this picture does.

I know the picture cuts off, but the bib definitely says, "What happens in the potty - stays in the potty." Which made us laugh. Sadly, I didn't get the bib for Liam... I thought he'd appreciate the musical toy I got him more. My goal was to get Laken (who turns 3 on the 15th) a birthday present and Liam a belated birthday present (since I didn't have a job over his actual birthday back in September.) But then I thought there's no way I can show up with gifts for those two and ignore Quinton... and if I got Quinn a small gift, I had to get Gage something small. So Laken & Liam got nice, larger gifts and then I got small $10 gifts for Quinn and Gage.

So much for sticking to buying just for birthdays, so I didn't have to spend so much on them at Christmas.

Hey, I doubt your Friday night was any more fun though.

Sure, it looks pretty...

....When you don't have to drive in it.

Icey Conditions Ahead

I can't even tell you how much I hate working at this new branch this week. I haven't blogged about it, I don't want to blog about it, I just want to forget about it. My supervisor hates me for no reason and I really wish the walking rhino would leave me alone. I'm trying to keep my head down, steer clear of her, but she's seeking me out and its ridiculous.

I say, "Good morning," and she says, "Whatever."
I think that pretty much sums it up.

Sadly, I have to work there tomorrow and next week too.

By the way, its been snowing. A lot. The roads are bad. So today, I dreaded the drive to work, I dreaded being at work and I dreaded driving home from work. And my entire night has been spent... dreading the repeat of it tomorrow.

If the weather clears up though, I'll be spending part of the weekend with my BABIES. And taking them to see Santa. So for my sake, cross your fingers that the snow melts away... and that things start to clear up a bit - at work and on the roads.

How the crap is it December already?

The beginning of the "Christmas Season" for me for the past four years was getting on that first flight back on my trip back to Pittsburgh and hearing the Christmas music playing in the cabin as everyone found their seats. Without that moment, I'm wondering when Christmas will suddenly feel like Christmas for me...

Because so far this year, I'm really just annoyed with all the festivities.

I feel a little more hum-bug than I want to feel.

Maybe I'll be more excited once my friends are all back in town. Though the ones I'm dying to be with right now are thousands of miles away.

McDaddy

Ohhhh yes.

I have always been that girl with the "Hot Dad."

Fashion Sense

So my Pap was wearing his jacket tucked into his pants today, instead of a shirt.

My dad had brought over some winter clothes for him this week apparently, but Pap didn't like any of them. Hey, even at 94.5, Pap still has more fashion sense than my dad.

Well, kind of.

He IS the one walking around with a jacket tucked into his pants.

....you just KNOW some skinny bitch was responsible for putting "Big Boned" next to "That Extra Half an Inch" by Victoria Beckham.
