Elves gone wild

If you have any Elves in your house, beware.

At first, they seem happy and nice…


IMG_1728


But when you’re not looking, this happens…


IMG_1731


Apparently, elves and snowmen don’t get along.


IMG_1734


Deep tensions abide within these winter creatures.

Elves don’t trust snowmen. I have no idea why.

Personally, I LOVE snowmen!


IMG_1736


No, not in the dog’s food dish!


IMG_1738 2


NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Weird looking Santa, Part Two

Every time I venture out to shop for Christmas,

I see very disturbing images of Santa.


Whoa!


Weird Santa


Uh, this next Santa looks bored.


IMG_1735


This next guy just looks creepy.


IMG_1739


Someone call Vidal Sassoon.

Santa needs help!


IMG_1744


And close your eyes if you don’t want any nightmares…


IMG_1745


Holy candy canes, that’s one freaky looking Chris Kringle.

How can I get my shopping done without running into more scary Santa Clauses?

Weird looking Santa, Part One

I’m afraid there isn’t a nice way to say this, but…

this year, Santa looks weird.


Weird Santa


He definitely needs to use more hair conditioner.


IMG_1755


And maybe he needs a big bottle of sunscreen.


IMG_1750 2


Oh, my.

Will someone PLEASE buy Santa some skin lotion??????


IMG_1729


Yowza, Santa.

Static cling doesn’t suit you…


IMG_1751


I think Santa needs a strong cup of coffee after checking his list.


IMG_1732


Tune in on Friday for more weird pictures of Santa.


HO HO HO!!!

Santa is a great kisser. Just ask my husband.

I did something really, really bad.


IMG_1716

I met Santa.

He smelled like peppermint and chocolate.

After one whiff, I had an overwhelming urge to…well, you know.


IMG_1715


I was mortified. I’m a married woman.

I’m not supposed to walk around kissing guys.


Santa swore he wouldn’t tell a soul.


IMG_1741


I continued shopping, but guilt plagued me.

I asked Santa to help me write a letter of apology to my husband.


IMG_1756


Santa sheepishly admitted he’d already tweeted about our kiss under the mistletoe.

Right afterwards, I received a phone call from my husband, who suggested I come home.

I promised to stop hanging out with oversized elves in red suits with white beards.


Luckily, my husband forgave me…because he kissed Santa, too.

Should I feel relieved, or worried?

Wings are heavy. Horns are light as a feather.

This is going to sound odd, but I’m afraid of angels.

Whenever I see one, I feel sorry for her.


IMG_1724


Can you imagine wearing a heavy pair of wings all the time?

I couldn’t tolerate the burdensome weight on my back

…which doesn’t bode well for my future in the afterlife.


Speaking of which…


IMG_1726


Problem is, I like warm weather.

Perhaps I’m fated to travel “south” after my demise.


IMG_1727



Yep, these angels know I’m struggling to get into Heaven.

Perhaps I can bribe them with an extra piece of pie.


Which will work best?

Pumpkin? Or Apple?

How to decorate your dog for Christmas.

Right after Thanksgiving, something strange happened.

All of the autumn decorations disappeared. Weird.


IMG_1764


Out of nowhere, Christmas decorations appeared.

I had absolutely nothing to do with the transformation

…but I caught the culprits.


IMG_1762


Usually, I discourage elves from hanging out in our house.

This year, I welcomed them when I saw this:


IMG_1699


Yep, I’m still harboring a grudge about the Thanksgiving appetizers.

So I didn’t stop the elves from doing this:


IMG_1719


Now if that doesn’t say Merry Christmas,

I don’t know what does!

Never trust a dog with appetizers

Tragedy marred our Thanksgiving.


IMG_1805


At first, all went well.

I spent hours slaving over a sumptuous feast.

The menu included homemade pumpkin pie (from REAL pumpkins).

Even the pumpkin seeds became a spectacular appetizer for the hungry masses.


IMG_1761


Did you know pumpkin seeds and cheese make a lovely appetizer?

I’ll share pictures and recipes in just a second.

Look! Even my dog celebrated the holiday.


IMG_1796


Okay, so all you have to do is set out an elaborate cheese plate for your guests.

The goodies will keep everyone entertained while you finish cooking.

Look at how well my plan worked:


IMG_1789


Oops.

Um. This is embarrassing.

So, how was your Thanksgiving?

Thank you.

This week, I’ll be thinking about how grateful I am for friends like you.


Have a very happy Thanksgiving!

Complaining added ten pounds to my figure

Do NOT go for a long drive after you guzzle a bottle of water.

Things will spiral out of your control in a matter of moments.


IMG_1695


You see, construction guys love to torture folks with full bladders.

I complained about my discomfort to my fellow traveler.

In other words, my husband.


IMG_1692


I begged him to stop at the next rest area.

I complained about how inconvenient it is to stay hydrated while traveling.

I promised to buy him something if he found me a rest room.




IMG_1697

I felt  better after we stopped at the rest room.

I ate six donuts and drank another bottle of water.

In hindsight, maybe the water wasn’t such a good idea.

How to survive spaceships and talking buffalo

Bad things happen in cold football stands.

The frigid aluminum seats numb your brain.

I don’t know about you, but my brain is in my bottom.


IMG_1681


It was FREEZING when we watched my kid’s last field hockey game.

My daughter is in the above picture. She’s one of the blurs.

I looked around to distract myself from the cold.

I saw something very disturbing.





IMG_1683

Cold makes me hallucinate.

To stop the downward spiral, I stole some lady’s hot chocolate.

I felt much more optimistic after gulping down the beverage.


IMG_1684


My strange behavior concerned my husband.

He took me out for a lovely, romantic dinner afterwards.

I thought the restaurant’s decor was a bit..strange.


IMG_0981



I decided to have a salad.
