Elf Amos

So Don and I love our cat as if he was an actual person, not just any pet. We have had Amos for one month shy of how long we've been married, which is One and a half years. We adopted Amos from his foster family in June of 2007. So this will be his second Christmas with us. Last year we got him a stocking filled with a variety of balls for him to play with, but this year his granny, my mom, bought him a real stocking that has the face of an orange kitty on the front, which is so cute. We have put up Amos' stocking with ours and this year we got him this lovely elf outfit that you see in the photo above. He absolutely hated it, but we thought it was cute. Maybe next year we can have mine, Don, and Amos' picture taken and send out Christmas Cards to everyone. If you can't tell we love our cat very much. I just thought that you guys would like to see our "Elf Amos" in all his glory.

Yucky

So today has not been a good day at all! I woke up this morning, watched some Rachel Ray. Once I started getting ready to go eat lunch with my husband and his dad, I started to not feel so good. Don went ahead to go eat and brought me back some rice, really nice thing to do by the way Don. But, all day I've just felt yucky! So I've spent the rest of my afternoon on the coach, wrapped up in a blanket, watching TV with my cat while my husbands been at work. Then I fixed dinner, and it sucked! So now I'm eating PB crackers. I just hope tomorrow is a lot better!

The Holidays

So my family went this week to a tree farm and picked out our own tree. This is a picture that I took at the farm while we were trying to find the perfect Christmas Tree that would fit in our house. We had such a good time deciding on just the right tree. But this can be deceiving. When we got there, I said "Is this it!", because I was thinking, "Man these trees are so small." When in reality they are a lot bigger than they look. Once we picked out just the right size we wrapped her up in netting, loaded her onto the top of our car, and tied her down. When we got home, Don and I had to cut three inches off the top of the tree so she would be able to fit in our house without touching the ceiling. (and I call her a "she" because it gets all dressed up for Christmas so it could not be a guy!) The tree is so tall we can't even put a star or an angel on top. So our tree is topless...lol...that sounds really funny after I just called the tree a girl!!! Anyway, we had a really good time.
