My Pick as Winner.....
As far as I am concerned - THIS is the big winner of the night....go ahead - watch it - I will wait.
That was the best commercial of the superbowl this year. I was pretty disappointed overall with the commercials and then this one came on and I literally laughed out loud. I did however enjoy the game. The teams were evenly matched and it wasn't a runaway game.
We didn't have a huge party, I just made a really large crock pot of chili and had the neighbors over for the game. Good food, good people, good football - can't as for much more.....well you could ask for Nascar but that is in 2 weeks!
Friday night was Bunco night and we were a member short so I quickly gave Katie a call and she came through for me. I think she had a good time and is now a "regular" so keep your calendar free the first Friday of each month Katie.! We didn't win any $$ but once again, we were in our element and we bounced things off each other and had another girl just rolling. I swear Katie and I need to form a comedy team and go on the road - ok ok maybe just a writing team but let me tell ya - our show would make you pee your pants you would laugh so hard. If you go over to her place, ask her about the defib tattoo (bwhahaha!).
Mr. Cheeky was supposed to get in around 10:30ish ummmm that didn't happen. He hadn't even left Dallas by 10:30. He wasn't going to get in until 1:15AM! So, Katie came back to the house with me to keep me awake until I had to go to the airport. After all was said and done we didn't walk in the door until 2:35AM! Good thing Hockey on Saturday wasn't until 1:45 - otherwise we would have missed it and that would have been a shame cause manchild SCORED!! during the game.
So it was a really good laugh filled weekend. Today we are supposed to get anywhere between 3-5 inches of good wet snow (you know the heavy kind) so I think I am just going to hunker down in the craft room today after getting everyone out the door.
Cheeky who is going to leave you with a question today instead of a song....and my question is.....
When you wake up you just KNOW its gonna be a wonderful day? Its only 7:21a and I have already been fairly productive this morning. I have lots of things to do today but that is ok. I have to get groceries, do some laundry, I have a class I want to attend (that is still not decided yet - I can do it next week too if I want), its BUNCO night (can you believe its already been a month? wish me luck) but the best part..... the very best part.....Mr. Cheeky comes home - WOOT!!! He doesn't get in until really late so I may have to take a nap this afternoon.
He has been gone all week in Dallas again. He will be home for almost 2 weeks and will be leaving again the day after Valentines. He was supposed to be leaving ON Valentines but he moved it just for me...awwww.
OH OH speaking of Valentines - last call to be on "the list". I have all of my cards ready to go and have the supplies to do a few more if someone out there wants one. Just email me with your snail mail addy (cheekygrin30 at yahoo dot com) and then you are on "the list". This years card is a simple design but I like it. Deadline if you want in on this round is next Friday. And while we are on the subject - if you want off the list (I can't imagine why) but if you do, drop me a note and let me know that too.
Last night I went on a date with the man child. He wanted wings and wings he got! Its hard not to go on a date when he wants wings.
That's all I got for this morning. I can't sit here too much longer otherwise I will lose my motivation and I don't want to do that today.
Cheeky - who in honor of Mr. Cheeky coming home is gonna sing a little ditty from Huey Lewis and the News (I pink puffy heart Huey).....and if you don't have their greatest hits CD - you don't know what you are missing - go out and get it - NOW!!
Early in the morning, I'm still in bed She comes to me with sweet affection Wakes me with kisses, "Hello sleepyhead." Gets me moving in the right direction I do my best to give her love that lasts forever It seems like everythiung I do I'm doing better
Doing it all for my baby Because she's as fine as she can be Doing it all for my baby For everything she does for me
Later in the evening, it's been a busy day She lays her head upon my weary shoulder Listen to her laughing, snuggle up and say Now I'm with you baby, the loneliness is over I do my best to give her love that lasts forever It seems like everything I do I'm doing better
Doing it all for my baby Because she's as fine as she can be Doing it all for my baby For everything she does for me
So today its Random Friday to clear out the brain before the weekend.
Today is the first Friday of the month so that means....BUNCO NIGHT!! I have to take an appetiser, I don't know what to take. I want to take something awesome but easy, any suggestions? I did a veggie tray last time. Not very awesome but it was really easy.
The flamingos (there are two) did not make it outside yesterday. The wind kept gusting and I was not about to let my new toys get hurt. Now today is a totally different story! But I know ya'll want to see them so, this is what they look like (from the box). I promise you will get the real deal on the next post.
Today is the day - I am working on the craft blog and getting that updated - TODAY!!
My Sylvester has been all sad since his kitty friends left this week. Kitty girl is once again Queen of the the castle.
Today is also do the laundry and run errands day. Don't you want to come and join in the fun?
Message to Atomik Kitten - Yes! I do crochet! And I would just be thrilled with a pink flamingo pattern! (you didn't leave a link or email for me to answer you directly)
Well I hope you have something to drink - ya'll might be here a while....have lots to tell.
Bunco Friday night. Had a blast. I met an entirely new set of neighbors. I knew 2 already and had spoken to a third but that was it. There were 17 ladies there and only 3 were not from the neighborhood. All but two of us were newbies to the game. After the first game (we played 4) everyone was comfortable with the game so then the chattiness began. So far so good with these ladies. I was very pleased that the conversations were not "about anyone" they were just general conversations which was nice. I did learn that one neighbor is preggers (she was the one I have spoken to but didn't really know prior to this shindig) and due in May (wait or was it March can't remember - its an M month give me that much credit mmmkay?). The food was great. We all brought an appetiser. And it was BYOB. I am really glad that I went. We are going to do this the first Friday of every month so the next one will be Jan. 4th.
Saturday:
We skipped the usual weekend breakfast. Oh we ate, but I didn't want much because my tummy was hurting (guess I need to start taking Prilosec again and no I wasn't hungover - geesh the things ya'll think about me....hehe) AND everyone was up before me. Man child had hockey practice and I went out to get the last 2 gift cards I needed before sending off my package to NC. It was a nightmare. Crowded. People being rude. I tried to be extra nice to the sales people and cashiers cause you could just see in their faces they were about to explode.
Got home and had our honkers for dinner. THEN it was off to a night of fun and games and it was ADULTS ONLY! Mr. Cheeky is on the Asian business counsel at work. No, he is not Asian. At any rate, he has met some really nice people and one of them invited us to her house for her annual game party. We played Wii, Guitar Hero, DDR and others. There was tons of food and drink, 70+ people, and no kids to nag. Mr. Cheeky and I really showed them all how to play Guitar Hero - they were all fairly new to it I guess so when we started out on something other than "easy" they just thought we were the bomb - and you know what? We were!! We really ARE Guitar Heroes! Got home just after 11.
Sunday: Up early again because Manchild had a hockey game at 7:15. They tied. They all played really well. I am glad to see the teams being really balanced as far as skill level is concerned. No one out doing the others or being "puck hogs". Makes for a much more enjoyable game to watch when they are evenly matched.
I also learned that Manchild will be carrying the American Flag for the highschool hockey game on Dec. 20th! He will be all dressed in his gear and skate around the rink with the flag. Teenage daughter is worried he will fall - oh she is not worried for him, but for HER! cause they will announce his name on the speaker when he comes out. (I think that's funny).
Later that morning we got home manchild chose the winner for the contest (Congrats Moi), Teenage daughter worked on homework, Mr. Cheeky slept, and I played in my craft room doing some last minute cards. Had some lunch and after a game of Warcraft Mr. Cheeky went ice fishing while I went back to the craft room.
We had Roasted Chicken Parmesean for dinner - oh my it was really really good and you know what - all I did was cook it. I got it from the deli at Costco! YUM! I wouldn't want it all the time but it was a nice treat when you don't feel like cooking (and its something different than Pizza).
