crazing me out!
First post typed on our brand new shiny laptop. LAPTOP! Hello 2004! I don't know all the tricks and this flat keyboard is not doing me any favors. But it's so shiny!
Dorothy is sick and when she is sick her brain literally stops working and she starts ravenously snarfing up any object in her path, she tried to swallow my pink mitten whole. WHOLE!
Most presents are bought and bagged, yes BAGGED. I called my mom and asked her to do me a big favor, I asked her to help me gets some gifts for Liz, my mother-in-law. Hol said sure so then I asked her if there was anywhere in Winona that sold edible underwear? My mom, taking me seriously, thought then remembered the adult bookstore downtown but after a minute said, "Wait, I am NOT going in there". It would have made for a memorable gift.
We had a guy come out to look at our basement and give us a bid on finishing it complete with storage, bedroom, bathroom and family room. The con$ultation took 1.5 hours and detailed board by board, major problem by major problem, all that we would need to do. Lots to weigh in this decision as we would LOVE a finished basement (and the heat that comes along with it) but we don't want to overextend ourselves financially as we want to do another adoption some day (when? I don't know...it's complicated).
Finally, in the best line from a Christmas letter ever, I quote "put some hair on her BACK and you've got a miniature version of my husband". Who said this about her one-year-old daughter?

Not to be negative...
but this cold is unbearable and I am so tired, why did I give up coffee again (day 2)? Can not wait until my freezing trek across campus is over so I can get into my cold car, drive home in traffic, and put on PJ's to hang with a "Mister Grinch" obsessed little girl and just cuddle.

Christmas Party in the USA
Who's that chick that rockin kicks?
She's gotta be from out of town
'Cuz all I see are stilettos!
Guess I never got the memo!
Thursday night: Bloom Christmas Party (thanks Aunt Jill for babysitting). Saturday: Decker Christmas Party, Grandma Liz & Grandpa Steve & Aunt Ellen here. Today: baked cookies all day... like yeah!
Lo Lo cuts out gingerbread men while Missy recites passages from" Going Rogue"
Nori realizes we need more butter!
Pat practices his backhand with his mom's old racket while Andy's legs relax
Angie broke all my kitchen utensils because she is not a good grown up
Liam, Lauren, Norelle, Makenna, Dorothy's butt & Andy's legs
Noddin my head like yeah!
Moving my hips like yeah!
