Pampered Chef

I am becoming an adult based on the fact that I now do adult things like go to Pampered Chef cooking parties. My mom goes to things like this...

Raccoon Hat

When I dropped off Chelsey we had this exact conversation:
"Hey who's home?" - Me
"Probably Marissa." - Chelsey
"Really, with that hat in the window?" (we could only see the funny looking hat but no face or head for that matter). - Me
"Oh yeah." (Chelsey is perplexed). "That's probably not her." - Chelsey

But it was in fact Marissa with a raccoon on her head.

The Drowning of Gingerbread Man

I had a Gingerbread Latte from Borders and part of the reason it is so expensive is it comes with a little Gingerbread man. But sadly he is currently drowning in my latte. What you don't see in a couple of minutes he falls to the bottom of the cup. :( 

Soledad

On our way to Santa Cruz I saw the sign for the city of Soledad and I was so excited to take a picture of it and send it to my friend Sol. However, my phone is not a state of the art camera (or a state of the art phone for that matter) and just missed the great photo opportunity. So instead of sleeping on the car ride home, I stayed mostly awake so I wouldn't miss the wonderful signage opportunity. 

Bo-ya!

Pig Staredown

Our family game used to be Hand and Foot. That is a complicated card game that requires skills, patience, and a lot of brain power. But now our family game has shifted to a game of squealing, change, and yelling: Pass the Pigs. The goal of the game is to roll these tiny pigs and ensure they land in a particular way to gain maximum points.

I think we have downgraded on our game skills.

Grading Papers

My new life begins now. Already practicing the grading over the Holidays. Note to future self: don't assign papers or tests right before the break because otherwise I spend my break grading them while my students get to frolic in Thanksgiving joy.
