OMG! Why did Christmas, once again, not remind me it was coming? What?! All of those decorations in Fred Meyer back in October were reminders?!? What?!? Crap.
Adina's first Christmas. I'm so freakin' stoked, but totally unprepared. Hopefully I will be better prepared for her birthday. We got a new camera though! And it's awesome! Instead of getting presents for each other, Yobo & I just bought a new digital camera and it got here in the nick of time (yesterday)!
I'm working on some projects & will post pictures soon. Yobo's pillow is complete, now working on one for Big Little Sister #1. And we've got mad cookies to get out. We're sending dickerdoodles to Yobo's not-in-state brother & his boyfriend LOL stoked about this, too!
Wind, wind, go away, let my baby sleep just one more day! Stupid wind is keeping the Moose up and, well, that means me, too. I've been waking up in cranky pants :(

What day is it again?
Keep moving forward! Long day. Long week. The Moose's top teeth, the front 6, all came in at the same time. We had a week of "maybe it's not that bad" and we have since learned our lesson. It IS that bad.
She fed herself a whole banana today! She loved it so much, she even tried to share with Monkey. Thankfully, Monkey wasn't interested :)
I've been sucked in to the crazy world of k-drama. I started out watching Young Love Jae In - a baseball player, Young, is in love with a girl named Jae In, with the twist being that, through a nutty bit of drama, almost everyone believes she is his long lost and previously unknown sister. Yeah, just as awesome as it sounds :) It's become my crafting background noise. Am also trying to watch one called Vampire Prosecutor, but it's already kind of sucking after only 1 episode, so we'll see.

A Night of Comedic (?) Errors
My sister wanted me to pick her up a pack of ciggies on my way home from work (her ID's expired). I try to be the nice sister, stop & get them, head over to her place... and she's not even home. I call, no answer. I leave a message & proceed home. While I'm driving, she calls back, but I don't answer, of course, because I'm still driving home. I get home & call her back... no answer.
Yobo's mom is out of town, so we've been asked to stop by & check-in on dad & make sure the dogs have clean water. I tried to feed the moose, but she's not having it; she's ready for adventures she didn't even know were coming up. We get all ready to go, the moose is buckled in, car's started & I think "oh, maybe I need to grab something from in the house" when I realize that the thing I needed to get were the HOUSE KEYS. Yay! Nothing can be done now that can't be done when we return home, so onward we venture to Eagle River.
On the road, baby girl realizes "oh yeah! I really AM hungry!" She proceeds to cry most of the drive. The driveway out there is a pretty steep 3/4 s-shaped one. In 5 years, I have had no issues getting up it, come rain or snow or sunshine... and then there was today. I got stuck halfway up. So I got out, grabbed the baby, and the hubby takes over. His dad & 2 of the dogs go out to assist.
A few months ago his dad found an old stash of power-paws in their shed. "Have some!" he said, so we put a set in the car & mostly forgot about them. They were in storage for over 10 years, who knew if they were actually even still good. THANK GOODNESS FOR POWER-PAWS. They were able to get up the driveway with them :)
Phew! After that, we were all inside & warm, the dogs' water was mostly OK, moose didn't sleep but was having a good time, and it was lovely. We get home, the first window tried popped right open so we got in the house, my sister showed up to pick up her cancer sticks, the baby ate well & passed right out, and now, now I'm going to sit in a hot tub with my long-awaited, highly anticipated new book. I'd say it's all about right.
And this is the short version.
To top off the night, not only is my new book awesome (more to come on that at a later time), one of yobo's friends just totally dropped off bags of goodies from Nuts Online (LOVE!). Found at our doorstep this late evening: sweetened cranberries (not that Craisins crap, real PLUMP ones that aren't straight saccharine), habanero pistachios , Hot Nuts (and they are), and wasabi peanuts. BC has a thing for the spicy :)

Pillow #2 complete!
Yay! Yobo wanted a pillow for his knees to rest on while sitting on the floor at the kotatsu (table). I just started this evening & would have been done, too, except that I ran out of poly-fill... It's not quite stuffed enough to just let it ride. I'm super stoked though - I've never gotten this far on a sewing project in a single day and MOST of it was even sewn on the line :) w00t! for progress!
The winds, they are a-blowin'
Holy high winds, Batman! Thank goodness the moose is sleeping right through all of it - all last night & this morning's nap :)
up to 188mph winds

It's raining, it's pouring...
I love rain, just not in the winter! Yucky conditions out tonight, folks. And yes, yucky is the technical term. Attempt at the sewing machine, part 3 coming up - my first hat sewing project is about to commence... will be back soon with an update :)
Update: 12:10am - this is going to take longer than expected. Oi vei. Off to bed now, will try, try again tomorrow :)
Update: 11:25am - starting again! I love the fact that I have to move the banana in order to use the sewing machine :)
Update: 5:07pm - done! mistakes were made, patterns were not closely followed, but it fits, it works, & she didn't tear it off her head! w00t! success!
