Phriday Photo
I know I already posted today, but I had to share my new toy with you.
I posted a picture of the fireplace Shawn and I built once upon a time, but look at the beauty we whipped up this time!
Of course, we didn't build it from scratch, like last time. We just took it out of the box and assembled it. But the fact that I got it for 50% off the original price makes up for that. Don't you think?

1. What's your 'dream machine' - as in vehicle? Do you think you'll ever own it?
I am personally partial to the Nissan 350 Z. I think it's sleek, and sexy. (if, indeed a car can be sexy...)
2. Can you water ski?
I learned to water ski when I was pretty young. My dad actually screwed a board between my skis because I couldn't hold my legs together to stand.
3. What kind of milk to you prefer?
I prefer whole milk, but we drink 2% instead.
4. Have any of your pet peeves 'gotten your goat' this week?
Um, Hailey having her classic meltdowns.
5. How do you prepare your taxes? HR Block, Turbo Tax, by hand - or does someone else do it for you?
I have used TurboTax online for years. I swear by it. I actually do all the preliminary input in January, while we wait for W2s and paperwork. That way, when everything comes in, all I have to do is input the missing numbers, file, and in 10 to 16 days my automatic deposit it in the bank, and I am at the store shopping. ;^P
6. Did you start a workout program this New Year?
Um, not yet, but I hope to soon...
7. Do you have a certain meal that you cook each and every week?
No, I usually go by whatever is on sale, meat-wise, and build from there. So, it varies.
8. When do you normally write your blog posts?
Whenever the creative juices flow, or Tina posts a Grilling Goodness.

Grilling Goodness # 12
1. If you could have done something different in 2008, what would it be?
I would have:
started blogging
Oh, wait, I DID all that!
2. What is something that you know will happen in 2009?
I will flawlessly execute a backwards somersault over two bags of concrete, simultaneously landing squarely on my bottom in a Rubbermaid tub of water, then flipping my legs over my head and standing up to see if anyone but Shawn saw me accomplish such greatness.
3. What is something that you hope will happen in 2009?
I will live, laugh, love, cry, scream, hug, kiss, hope, dream, teach, hold, fuss, worry, sing, text, blog...
4. Do you already have a vacation planned for this year?
Not yet, but a camping trip is in the planning stages...
5. Are you relieved that the holidays are over?
When I have my tree put away, I will be relieved.
6. Did you make a resolution? Will you share it?
I resolve to live today like tomorrow is not a guarantee.
7. How old will you turn in 2009?
I am not ashamed to say I will be 37. (really)
8. What did you do to celebrate the New Year?
We enjoyed the hot tub with family.

Flarp
Some people are naturally good gift givers. Some, however, generally stink at the art. Shawn, for example, usually ends up spoiling the surprise before the time comes.
But if you are exceptionally lucky, like me, you have one person in your life who is very, very good at giving the perfect gift. This person is probably very thoughtful, and by that, I just mean that they put a lot of thought into creating perfection with a gift. Said gift doesn't have to be especially expensive, it just has to fit the recipient to a T. And by that, I don't mean clothes, necessarily, although sometimes it is clothing.
The perfect gift giver in my life is my sister, and my kids were delighted to get their Chritmas gift from their Aunt Chris. She spent about a month compiling a bag full of little delights for each of them: bubblegum scented lotion and body wash for Hailey, mirrored spy glasses for Caleb, Jolly Rancher flavored lip gloss for the girl, a 
harmonica for the boy, among all the wonderful assortment in Caleb's bag was a canister of Flarp. In case you don't know what Flarp is, I will enlighten you. It is essentially a can full of farts. And who doesn't like hearing a good poot? Of course the toot putty produced, along with the sound of butt burps, uproarious laughter.

My Steaming Hot New Years Party
We finally have a hot tub!!
It's leaking a little from the drain valve, but that'll be fixed tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Sis and her hubby came over for a chocolate covered strawberry and a dip in the tub.
You know, the tub that fits in the hole in the new deck.
Happy New Year!
Yippee!
