Bills.
They just ruin a good holiday season don't they?
December is a month where you wish Christmas was in August. Nothing really happens in that month, why not re-schedule?
Coming home from Christmas shopping, arms loaded with bags of joy.
Then the mailman drives up.
Bill. Bill. Bill.
If the mailman's name was also Bill, I would know for sure the world is out to get me.
Health insurance. Property Taxes. Mortgage.
I think they need to change the saying to the only sure things in life are death and a damned ridiculous insurance premium, AND taxes.
Kinda takes the wind out of your sails.

Having a Tastefully Simple party tonight with my friend Jamey. The parties are so fun and are all about eating DELICIOUS food!! Simple and easy stuff too!!
----------------------------------------------
Hugh Jackman, the sexiest man alive?! Really?!
----------------------------------------------
The kids had their first real Wii encounter on Thanksgiving.
They're hooked.
So is Hubby.
I've never seen a grown man get so competitive over a video game.
Nor have I wanted to see one!
My Boy--DAAAAAD! Please go easy on me, i'm only 7!!
Hubby--STRIIIIIIIIIKE 3, sit down you're out!
Me--Wow.

Check out a cute pic of my K and cousin B.

I posted a link to K's Contest on my other blog, so she should get some more votes, good luck!

I love Tastefully Simple! I get my pantry stocked. Have fun!
December 1, 2008 at 5:44 AM
Okay chickie, I voted! Darlin' little mess you have there! She knows how to attack chocolate like a pro!!!!!
December 1, 2008 at 6:53 AM
so funny... we have a Wii and it gets crazy competitive here! We love to have friends over and play.. bowling is fun! I like the wii, it gets kids moving and off the couch!
oh and I agree, the bills totally ruin christmas!
December 1, 2008 at 6:54 AM
I am so so excited!!! This is going to make the perfect Christmas gift for my Dad! Yippeeeee!
We love our Wii, it is addictive and fun and even our 5 year old can kick our tails at bowling!! ;-)
December 1, 2008 at 7:10 AM
HB and I LOVE our Wii! I also have the Wii Fit and have waxed rhapsodic on it on my blog....
December 1, 2008 at 7:44 AM
My girls love the Wii! Pretty much bowling, boxing, & baseball. We don't have many games.
I loved the Vegas posts! Helped me pump up!
Bills=eh!
December 1, 2008 at 7:50 AM
LoL that is hilarious about the WII! I am the same way, I have no mercy on my kids! see you tonight!
December 1, 2008 at 8:26 AM
Yeah, I don't get the Hugh Jackman love either:) But I'm sure people don't get my Tom Berenger obsession either! I don't even want to talk about bills this month!
December 1, 2008 at 8:43 AM
i keep campaigning for a suspension of all bills for the month of december. they can pick back up in january. no harm, no foul.
December 1, 2008 at 9:18 AM
Woohoo! Do you need my address? I think you already have it. :)
We're considering the Wii for Christmas since we have about half the money in our "wii jar." Still deciding, but it's fun, isn't it?
December 1, 2008 at 10:35 AM
I'm all stressed out over here and you just made me laugh and smile and then laugh again.
This IS cheaper than therapy.
Thanks, lady.
December 1, 2008 at 10:57 AM
Seriously, bills in December should be outlawed. We just found out that our health insurance provider is uping out monthly premiums by almost 30%, UGH!
December 1, 2008 at 11:02 AM
Yes, bills and catalogs - if I could rid my mailbox of both those items, I'd be a happy camper!
December 1, 2008 at 11:50 AM
Great post! Totally agree with the bills thing.... never ending hey??? God forbid you EVER get behind - been there done that soooo not fun!!! Love the Wii bit - too funny!!!
December 1, 2008 at 12:04 PM
Oh man, i am still drooling of the tastefully simple. I should see what I need so I can order for your party and you get more credit...or however that works.
December 1, 2008 at 12:11 PM
just caught up- loved all the pics! I feel the same way about the bills- but I'm in denial until after Christmas!
December 1, 2008 at 12:53 PM
i love the wii, and the bills totally stress me out. especially with two birthdays and christmas in one month!
happy thanksgiving jen!
December 1, 2008 at 1:07 PM
The WII rocks. My kids kick our tail all the time in bowling and more.
December 1, 2008 at 1:41 PM
voted for your cutie! I hope you win! I left you 2 awards on my blog.
December 1, 2008 at 4:06 PM
hubby bought a Wii w/ out consulting me (damn him) I didn't want one due to the $$ but now I am addicted and really don't have time for that. FAv game boxing
December 1, 2008 at 5:51 PM
I voted! I hope you win!!!
December 1, 2008 at 6:05 PM
I voted, but some other chic's got you beat pretty good. I'll see if I can't hook you up with some more votes! :) Your picture's cuter!
I love Tastefully Simple. My friend, Kristie sells it! Try the Merlot sauce.
December 1, 2008 at 6:10 PM
Amazing how a video game can bring out the super competitive spirit in husbands!!
December 1, 2008 at 8:04 PM
love tastefully simple...hugh? meh...and voted...
December 1, 2008 at 8:39 PM
First off...YAHOO!!! I won, I won! I'm so tickled!!! Thank you!
Oh yeah...bills suck year-round. Have you seen the mountain of debt I live underneath? If you look east I'm sure you can see it from there. LOL
I bet you're having fun w/ Jamey tonight. She's a doll.
Sooo with ya on the Hugh Jackman thing. I got my People last week & went "huh?". He's ok, but puh-leeze...not the sexiest man alive by far!
I want a wii! If you get tired of yours, send it my way. My hubby doesn't want to buy one. (scrooge!)
Cute picture!!
December 1, 2008 at 8:48 PM
I already voted for your little darling! And if you figure out how to make the bills go away in December please share!!
December 1, 2008 at 9:33 PM
Cracking me up..
December 1, 2008 at 9:36 PM
Very cute pic of K... Yes, I hear you on the bills- putting a damper on my Christmas shopping, too. Really, your photo is the cutest in the contest. I voted for it, for sure, but probably would have even if you weren't my bloggy therapist.
December 1, 2008 at 9:40 PM
We love Wii!!! It's addictive!
December 1, 2008 at 10:11 PM
I voted! Hope you have a good week. :-)
December 1, 2008 at 11:24 PM
The bills make you want to take everything back to the store don't they!? lol and yes i see my wife get competitive on her stupid xbox live... hence the reason i stay glued to my computer most days! lol
December 2, 2008 at 4:27 AM
How cool! This is the first time I've won something on a blog! Thanks!
December 2, 2008 at 11:35 AM
I miss a day of blogging and I miss a lot! YEAH! Do you still have my mailing info?
December 2, 2008 at 12:34 PM
LOL!! The Wii stuff is hilarious! My kids were hooked when they played guitar hero at my sister's house. Begging for one ever since.
I voted for you! :) You do have the cutest, most fitting picture!
December 2, 2008 at 1:43 PM
I'm a Guitar Hero on my Wii. We love making little Mii's for everyone who comes over, too. So much fun.
Thanks for the Baby Blues!!!
December 3, 2008 at 11:06 AM
Sorry K didn't officially win, but I think she should've ;)
The Wii's pretty cool, isn't it? But a tad expensive. Gah!
Congrats to all the Baby Blues winners!
December 6, 2008 at 11:07 PM
Love the Wii play-by-play. Very funny.
