'Cuz I Felt Like It!

This year we wanted to have a party with all of our friends that was all about Christmas. Atleast the food, presents, and drinkin' part of Christmas anyways. Amazingly enough, pretty much everybody did bring food and some dang good food at that! I love food. Have I mentioned that before? We had so much freakin' food it was insane. I wish I had gotten a picture of all of it, but I just got this one from early on. We wanted to wait until most everybody got there before we started eating. Everybody did different things to pass the time. Some slept..... Some practiced the newest gang signs from the "Gang Signs for Dummies" book they got for Christmas..... .....and when he realized he hadn't gotten past chapter two of the book, he moved on to other things to do to pass the time...... Seriously, you gotta know not to pass out in a room full of people. Even if it's your friends, because even your own friends can be evil..... Once most everyone arrived and we all ha...

I was sittin ' here just workin ' along then BAAAAM I hit a stupid wall. I'm pooped. Pooped totally. No more el worko for me-o. Can't do it. My eyes don't wanna stay open. I feel like barfing up my lunch. Not sure why, maybe because it would wake me up for a minute or maybe it's because I ate an onion sammich for lunch. I dunno. I think it's time to hang up my awesome party pants for a minute or two. I'm about partied out. This was the first Christmas that everything was at our house. All the shopping, all the preparation, all the cookin ' and cleanin ' and all with two kids that were outta school and ready for Santa. Well, one and a half kids, because the boy keeps himself entertained and stays behaved, but the girl she's a WHOLE nother story! She's like three kids all rolled into one...always attached to my hip. Right there always. There was Christmas Eve dinner, Christmas Lunch/Dinner. There was my parents, his par...

J and I woke up around 7:30 Christmas morning and the kids were still totally sacked out. I've always told them they have to wait wait until they can see sunlight before they could get outta bed. I've always worried one of them would get up after an hour of sleep thinking it had been all night and they'd totally catch Santa and Mrs. Claus putting out all the presents. But DAAANNNNGGG ....we had to wake them up and it was 7:30 ! It was pretty cloudy out though and it had been a crazy BUSY few days, but you can bet yer ass nobody ever had to wake me up on Christmas day! Once we got them awake, I put on my new bunny slippers and headed downstairs with the video camera. I kinda wish I had set up the camera somewhere so I had pictures of the kids too instead of just video. I love photographs and hate that I don't have any. Once the kids were done, J and I opened our gifts and he really did a good job this year. Not only did I get the Bitch ring he gave me a couple days...

All successful Christmas Eve dinners start the same way......Drinks. Lots and lots of drinks. Ok, so before DFACS comes knockin' on my door, the girl is NOT drinking beer. Her dad stopped and bought the kids a bottle of sparkling cider so they could be all fancy and stuff. Fancy...yeah. I guess if we were really fancy, they'd had champagne flutes to drink out of. At least it's not a red plastic cup. Now, we all know that mama likes to drink and drink I did. It's my mom's fault. This year we drank some of the most awesome espresso martinis. A little Bailey's and vodka and we were well on our way. I'm guessing it was the drinks that made this possible...... That's right........that's my my mom and J. In the SAME kitchen preparing stuff. Together. Ha! I so got that shit on film....well, not film. Digital cameras don't have film, but you get the picture. My mom was pulling lobster outta the shells and J was cuttin' it up. We had a bowl FULL of lo...

Let me start by saying, yes this is in my kitchen. Jay is a professional tattoo artist and maintains a clean sterile tattoo environment. So if any tattoo snobs are reading this, and feel the need to yack about this or that, don't bother, because I don't wanna hear it.....Now that that's over..... The tat party started about midnight on Saturday. We were bored and Melissa thought it would be a fantastic idea to tattoo Jay. What better person to try out her first tattoo on? Really, the ONLY person who would let her do her first tattoo on them. Jay agreed to let her tattoo her name on him, but he would tattoo his on her too. It was pretty awesome. She hurt Jay...bad.....just look....only a mama could love a face like this..... Evidently it hurts like ass to have your knee cap tattooed. Like worse than stomach being tattooed. So Jay says. I say what a sissy. When Melissa finished and Jay quit whinin', Jay tattooed my other foot. After about my 6th speeding ticket, they al...
