To Bump Or Not To Bump

That is the question!

I'm sitting at Logan airport waiting to get back to San Diego after spending a week home with the fam and friends. We got here this morning and were scheduled to fly out at 8:45 and get into San Diego at 2:30, which was fantastic. I already planned how I could be at Target by 4 and catch up on the after christmas shopping I missed out on by being in freezing cold G L O.

However, when any type of monetary reward is dangled in front of my face I jump at the opportunity. Chris and I decided to bump and each got $300 vouchers towards a later flight. The lady at the ticket counter was nice and upgraded us to first class for our flight from Dallas to SD.

We are sitting in the new American terminal and trying to kill the time before our 1:30 flight. I've got plenty of work to do so thats keeping me busy. Sofie is sleeping soundly in her bag and Chris pretending to study, but I know him better than that.

Here is a pic of the baby girl napping in her baggy while I am typing away on the computer.

One thing...

that I am not looking forward to next week while back in the G L O is going from this:

To this:

Organic Looking

I got Ty a sketchbook for Christmas to go with some charcoal pencils he asked me to buy him. I figured i'd do something with the cover and came up with using pieces of pinecones. I had plenty of pinecones in the house that i'd used to decorate. Only problem is that the electricity went out mid project. Chris came home to me sitting in the dark at the kitchen table with plyers and a glue gun in my hand. I had to put the job on hold until the lights came back up, which was about 2 1/2 hours.

Third Identity

Last night my pal Ellsworth's band, Third Identity, played a show at the Brick by Brick. They played all but 1 original and did an amazing job. They drew the biggest crowd of the three bands playing and they were the opening act! They truely did an amazing job. At one point I took Leslie's camera and went on the side of the stage to take some action shots. It was so dark back there that I got locked in the side stage area! I had to take a flash picture of the door so I could see where the handle was to get out.

Gingerbread houses!

On Saturday we had the Krugers over for gingerbread house decorating and bubbly with pom juice. The houses were really easy to make. I ended up buying boxed gingerbread and following the recipe on the back for cookies. It was much easier than starting from scratch. My arms and shoulders were killing after rolling out all that dough, but it was worth it.

Jason decided to do some construction on his house, which ended in catastrophe!

I made everyone aprons and the boys decided to pose for their apron picture sans pants.

The pictures are in!

I am home in bed today from work because my stomach has been set on hate mode since last night! However some good news is that our family photos are available to view online today. Thankfully there are more than a few that I think could work so we may be able to get a few different shots printed and framed. Here are my favorites!

Really???

I got a fix it ticket a few weeks ago because there was a crack in the windshield (its about 6 months old). At first I thought I was being pulled over for eating a pear. I knew I didn't do anything wrong so I wasn't on the defensive to start off and was nice to the cop. I was having the ticket signed last night so I can mail it back showing that I fixed the windshield and it was pointed out to me that the cop wrote I was:

Honest, Polite, Cooperative.............

I've certainly been called honest before and I know I'm pretty polite (except for burping)...but Cooperative?
