if i had functional internet access from home, i would be sharing you pretty pictures of my christmas tree, but as it is, you're stuck with just a bunch of rambling.

i really have no terribly exciting news to report... did a bunch of shopping and errand-running this weekend, which went well, save for a minor nervous breakdown when i realized i had no idea what the heck i was doing in the golf aisle at G.I. Joe's. (thanks again, allie - you saved me from crying all over the stockboy!)

took matt out to the casino saturday night. we had such a great time. good food, a little roulette and slots. i love penny slots! no winnings to speak of, but it was a fun date, even if it did require an hour's driving time! sunday, we had some new friends over from church to watch the game. i love the seahawks and all, but i really would like a bit more drama in our games. if we just keep kicking butts, i'm going to grow tired of the game. there's no fun in a 41-3 win, (or a 47-0 win!). as it was, we spent more time watching the cats rough-and-tumble their way through the house than we did with our eyes on the t.v. "oh look. the seahawks scored another touchdown. oh, hey!! is that pepperoni?!"

other than that, i'm having a blast finishing up a few of the christmas projects i'm working on. i'm particularly proud of one of the gifts i'm making, but as the recipient stalks my blog, pictures will have to wait until after christmas.

our cards are signed, envelopes are addressed (mostly) and they will be mailbound today. thank goodness. that's always a project i threaten to complete early, and end up leaving until the very, very last minute... i like doing them, but i never know what to write other than some cheesy Hallmark greeting...

that's it for me!
