My Mental Sanctuary

While shopping around at Kohls I heard a song called "I want an alien for Christmas."

That certainly put me in the holiday mood/.

Now for the big Christmas post.

Went over to the Will's parents with the gifts from my parents and the gifts we got. We started out with a delicious meal of ham, turkey, lasagna, mashed potatoes, veggies, bread rolls and cranberry sauce.

Then came the gifts. We helped Kaitlin open several of hers before she got too tired.(she opened the rest today) Then we opened ours.

I got the Black Dagger Brotherhood books, Buffy the complete series on DVD, a pair of sexy suede and leather boots, two new pretty shirts, yummy Barnies coffee, new jewelery, a coffee dispenser, a Comfy which is like a Snuggy, a Caress shower set, a set of pretty fairy figurines, gift cards, a grooming set and cake in cup gift that is for me and Will to share.

Kaitlin made out like a bandit. She got a pony, not a real one. She got a little rocking pony. The pony part is plush and it talks. She also got a stuffed Tigger, Shoney's mascot, a Ragedy Anne, A Violet Puppy from Leap Frog, a new Sippy Cup, The Princess and the Frog on DVD, several books, a talking and singing purse set, a plastic ride on car, several clothes, a baby stacking toy and a baby laptop.
The laptop is plush and comes with a mouse that looks like a squeak squeak mouse and there is a disc that is crackle crunchy and can slide into the side. Inside has lots of stuff. It plays musci and animal sounds, teaches her numbers and colors and there are little plush shapes that she can take out. There is also a little envelope with a little I <3 U message on it.(E-mail)

She really loves her laptop and her books. That makes me happy that she loves her books so much. She likes to open them and turn the pages.

Kaitlin slept in her playpen and Will and I slept on the couch. We had beneits for breakfast. Will's mom got a Wii with Wii sports and Wii resort for Christmas. We used the Wii to access Netflix and watched Time Bandits before the sports was broken out.

While I caught a small nap Kaitlin had managed to wiggle off her cast. I have go out first thing on Monday to get it put back on.

the last one had me laughing, Now that is a crack crossover pairing.

Horror movies are not my favorite genre but I will still watch them especially this time of year. Going through the watch it now on Netflix and get up a good list.

Now for a while when I was a kid I didn't like em. I didn't want to see them. Not because they scared me or anything it was the fact that I was afraid to be afraid. FDR was right.

That line of thinking was of course stupid since I was able to watch a whole lotta of scary movies and not get scared, not one little bit. I blame my parents on that. They got me desensitized at an early age. I blame them but I still love em for it.

I think my main issue with a lot of horror movies is the gore factor and I can handle all of that except for one thing that squicks me beyond all squicky things.

I can watch the that guy peel is face off in Poltergeist while eating shrimp in marinara sauce.

Billy Cole melting away in the original Fright Night No problem. That one guy that was full of bugs in the sequel? Bring it.

All that gross stuff in The Fly? No big.

The one thing I can't stand is bisecting. Ugh. That just squicks me out like nothing. When I was younger it was severed body parts now it's people being cut in half. It's the reason why I have to look away during certain scenes in Resident Evil, Ghost Ship and13 Ghosts guh...shudder.

Speaking of Horror. If you are a fan of the genre or are just in the mood for it because of the season then check out Creepy Kitch My friend cinsangel Co runs it. They talk about all sorts of horror related stuff from the campy and cheesy to the down right you need a change of undies type of scary.

On the not so scary vein...probably will also watch Nightmare before Christmas

and on the not scary and very cute. My one dragon is almost grown up and I managed to grab two of the new black eggs.

Happ St Patrick's day everyone.

I'm wearing a green shirt with the Blue Sun logo and my Celtic necklace and Kaitlin is wearing a green onesie.

I got cornbeef, cabage and taters in the crock pot.

Happy Easter.

Oh beautiful Hotcross bun, nom nom nom.

Cards made out and sent.

Gifts bought and wrapped.

I baked gingerbread yesterday.

I am still sick and feel like I'm about to cough up my lungs hell. Today I coughed so hard I gave myself a headache.

Yesterday Revel and I went to Target, mostly to look around for stuff and pick up a few gifts for some friends. I bought a wreath for our apartment, a spiral notebook for writing on the bus, and several cards for family.

Then we went to Best Buy to pick up a gift card for Revel's father, and he bought the latest Ace Combat game.

Then we went to get food. When we got to the soda aisle I noticed a new DR Pepper flavor, Cherry Chocolate. I had to try it and it tastes pretty good.

I also got my baking supplies. I baked up the sugar cookies and decorated them and I baked up a loaf oof banana nut bread.

I got the gifts for my grandparents wrapped up and already prepared some of the cards.

Already got my Christmas icon.

You know that meme where everyone takes on of their icons and paints on a santa hat?

I decided to BUCK the trend and do Rudolph instead and thus we have Mimette the red nosed bimbo.

First of all, my finger nails.

Second of all, Happy 4th of July.

Yeah, we are not perfect, our current government could use a bit of retooling, as in removing the tool in the Whitehouse, but we got an awsome past.

We have the Perry brothers

We have the Wright Brothers

We planted the flag on the moon.

And after a few road trips I have seen some purple mountains that were magestic and amber wavyes of grain, as well as corn.

Happy 231th birthday America.
