Cool Pants

For Christmas, I got really awesome pants. They are bright red, stretchy, from Abercrombie, and I love them. The only problem is that they don't match with ANYTHING!!! But that does not stop me from adoring them. All hail the pants!!

TinTin

I just saw The Adventures of TinTin (it is WJ's birthday)and it was pretty good. I thought it was going to be horrible, but it was okay. Not the best movie ever, though. The plot was good.

Really Good Shepherd's Pie

I was in Boston the other day, dropping off my aunt at the train station, and we went to a really cute Irish pub. I got the shepherd's pie, and it was delicious! I don't even like mashed potatoes, but I loved this. So if you're in Boston, look for Mr. Dooley's. It's fantastic!;)

This is what I got for Christmas:

• ski jacket
• Swiss army knife
• extension cord with multiple plug thingies
• a bunch of clothes
• assorted head bands

Starts with Mud

Our addition is starting, and they are working on the mudroom first. So outside our side door there is a big hole with cement in it. Part of our deck is gone. When I first saw that there was a strait drop outside the door, I was very afraid that I would fall off the edge. But then, Mom pointed out to me that there was a piece of wood over the door, preventing us from opening it. Whoever did that was a smart person. But there is dirt all over our yard and driveway from the digging, and today it rained. I guess a mudroom starts with mud!

Trees

We went  tree cutting last Saturday, and the farm was going to close the next day! Dec. 10th is not time to stop selling!  The place that we were going to go was already closed. How do trees stay alive that long? People are so ahead on holiday decorating this year!

Heat at Last!

After going days without heat or hot water (a sign that the addition might begin soon), everything is sback on!! I am so happy!
