Well, Peter and I went looking for puppies. We were pretty much unsuccessful at finding lab mix puppies in the SPCAs and animal control centers. I saw an adorable lab mix on petfinder.com. I thought there were only 2 (a male and female), but when we went to check the puppy out at her foster mom’s house (yes, she is in a foster home), there were 4 adorable puppies. I was in puppy heaven. It was glorious. Puppies were everywhere, climbing all over me and gnawing on my coat buttons. Adorable. So we put in a pre-adoption application for Ginger, the adorable one. We haven’t heard back from the adoption people yet, but I am hoping to hear from them by the end of the week… Apparently it’s a big production to adopt from foster homes. Keep your fingers crossed. She’s cute!
Christmas was really nice. My family got health insurance for me! That is definitely a relief. I have been paranoid while doing anything lately, because I thought I was uninsured. Sneaky, sneaky. I also got a Sizzix diecut machine, clothes, earrings, VS undies, iPod stuff, and other fun things from my mom, dad, and Jerry. Meem and Peep got me the Magic Bullet Express (blender that I ALWAYS wanted!!! hehehe.. I am so infomercial-lame), pjs, and tea. Peter got me the 40 Year Old Virgin dvd, iPod stuff, and a beaaaaautiful blue topaz bracelet. Peter’s family got me earrings, B&BW lotions/sprays/etc., Origami calendar, gift card to the teacher store, and a picture frame. Thank you to everyone 🙂
I gave my mom some earrings, a shirt, perfume, and a wine bottle opener from Bed Bath & Beyond. Dad got some crackers that he eats all the time and a nice blender for making margaritas. Jerry got a Green Day CD/DVD and a Green Day rubberbandbracelet thing. Meem and Peep got a mist-er for the garage, a soothing heat pad, and a Pogo game for the computer.
I tried using my new Magic Bullet Express–I have to use the whole name because it drives Peter crazy–to make a milkshake and also tried to make homemade pudding. The pudding… not so good. It ended up being more of a brownie batter. I actually put it in the microwave, and it rose like brownies. So the pudding was horrible, but now I have some delicious brownies.
Using my iPod is wonderful now… it actually stays on for longer than 1 second. I kid you not; my iPod didn’t stay on for longer than 1 second before (unless it was on my car charger 24/7). YAY for batteries!
I am getting offline now, so I can watch the Tsunami documentary on Discovery channel.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Kwanzaa!
