Had a great Xmas Eve, some nice gifts from my parents and brother. A nice check from my mom and dad for the house. Everyone seemed to like their gifts as well. Dale got me a puzzle, a calandar (the yearly standard!), a gift certificate for a water massage (YES!) and a puzzle. He LOVED his freakazoid picture! I RULE!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY! HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY!!
Long Time no post! Had a busy weekend, Friday night met with our realator to go over house stuff, Saturday in Whitewater for family Xmas. Thanks to Robin for the Starbucks thermos (which keeps coffee flaming hot for over 10 hours, NUTS!) and the new Trival Pursuit game. Sunday we gamed at Jeffs-made dinner, yum. Thank goodness for the pampered chef cookbook, that Pecan carmel ring is YUM!. I think I lost at Fantasy Football to Mark (stupid Drew Bledsoe!).

Saw LOTR The Two Towers last night and it was GREAT! Spent 3 hours in line with Jim and Muench (cool), ate Nachos (Yum) and watched movie. Movie was SUPER!! Had a nice time with everyone....Jim had issues with the Faramir character, but what can you do....

Used my Amazon Gift Certificate. I bought the simpsons season 2 dvd, the austin powers dvd 3 pack, the fifth element dvd, and a book. A good shopping trip was had by all!

Today I am going to see LOTR: The Two Towers with everyone. Matt said Rockwell bought 100 tickets so I guess most of Rockwell will be there as well! I am leaving work at 3pm, heading to Oscars for a "early" dinner (or 2nd breakfast) and then to West Towne Ultrascreen to sit in line. I have a book, a crossword, and my cross sitch, also brought jeans and a sweater to change into so I am set. From what I have seen this movie is super cool.

Pretty rainy and yucky today. They better not have people waiting outside for the movie, there will be riots!!

No posts this weekend, it was a long and busy one. Friday night I went to my parents house, had a snack, helped make x-mas cookies, came home and was surprized to find my husband! He begged off Napoleons and stayed home. We ended up watching Band of Brothers on DVD and playing Warcraft 3.

Saturday we went to Madison to visit Robin! Ate lunch at Pedros (pedros pedros making Mex-ee-can!), went shopping for used books at The Frugal Muse bought the xmas gift for my in-laws, went home.....Mark and Muench came over and we had dinner (thanks to Harry and Davids for the ham) and played Munchkin Munchkin till the wee hours.

Gaming at Jeffs sunday and I lost in the playoffs to LeMarbre.

Happy Monday

WHAT A SWELL DAY!!! Today I got a gift basket from Harry and Davids from my friends at Pitney. It has a freakin' turkey in it plus a very cool Jazz Classics CD which I am listening to as we speak. It has coffee, chocolates, yummy fruit (and if you have never had a Harry and David pear you havent lived!) and god knows what else. It is now sitting in my truck being cold.

The disease is not getting better for either Baumer. Dale was dizzy and sick in the shower this morning, Mary is coughing and sneezing up a lung over here! I am really tired although I got alot of sleep last night...maybe sleeping with my cat is making me sleepier. She certainly seems to love to sleep with us!

I'm going to take my lunch break....Have a nice day everybody!
