monday

kaylee and i ventured out into the cold today and headed over to hobby lobby. they were having a 50% off sale on wrapping paper+supplies. the papers kinda expensive but its worth it. it doesn't tear at every fold or bend. and since our ornament supply is pretty low from those days of owning a beagle who use to eat them, i got a box of clear ones to make these courtesy ali edwards.*link works now*saturday mike and i ate lunch at one of my favorite places, stray dogs, before christmas shopping. ended up getting kaylee all of her christmas and birthday gifts except the stocking stuffers. and we got ham a this tv from best buy. its a LG 32" flat screen and its pretty sweet. wouldn't mind keeping it for myself. we definitely got it for a better price than what they are currently showing on-line. we also got mike's parents a digital camera. nothing fancy since they have a hard time navigating a computer. ham's debating on an itouch or iphone for his birthday or if he even wants either of those two. all that he really wants is a car. nothing else went on this weekend besides it being super cold. i did make wicked white chili from design gal + her handyman. it made a really big batch so i'm thinking of freezing some of it. i would like the base to be a little thicker other than that- it was really delicious! i also made oatmeal apple toffee cookies. will be posting the recipe on my other blog- bites. {its a place to hold my recipes for easy access}here's a current photo of me and the kayleenator in black and white since it was taken first thing in the morning.
