Let's get a move on in '09.

Hey, are all you kids alright? I know this week has been busy, but you can't take 10 minutes out to post 5 sentences? I'm not going to nag or harass you (too much at least), but this project was to bring you guys together. I could only wish my darling siblings (George and Rebecca) would participate in such a project.
I would like to say "bravo" to Bill, Greg and Lisa who have already posted. (Well, I know Lisa will tomorrow.) And Frank, I think your " welt-free" spree has ended.......I'll let your siblings issue you a punishment accordingly....just kidding.
But seriously, your mom posted a comment under Bill's post this week. If you care or not, some people ACTUALLY read this thing. And don't get me started about your brother, Greg, but he's basically going to turn back into that sun-burnt monster you saw previously this summer, and it ain't pretty. Besides, if Lisa and I can find time to post, you guys can too. I mean, seriously, I work 2 jobs, take classes , cook and clean and basically run this household (yeah, I don't let your brother control much =-P). If you seriously ill, had a broken bone, was in the emergency room, or out of the country, I could see how it could be difficult to post (don't try those for excuses this week, I would have to require you to provide proper documentation, e.g. a doctor's note or passport.)
So, today Greg and I went down to Dover, to the Salmon Falls Pottery outlet store (where we got the vase and chip'n dip plate for Mom. I got a TON of Teddy Bear pottery (it's not babyish...when you kids visit I'll show you). I got the 2008 ornament as well as the Christmas 2008 lunch plate to hang on the wall between my two plates my mother got me for my birthday.
Then we went down to Seabrook, and stopped at Tripoli's. If you guys ever go to Seabrook or Salisbury beach, get some seafood, but stop at Tripoli's. It is the best pizza on earth. It's flat and square with cheese sprinkles on it, but the sauce is soooo sweet. I can't even explain it. It's very good though...
I've been sick since Thursday. I've got a nasty cold. It's so bad I have to sleep on my back....I never sleep on my back....I also bring a box of tissues to bed with me....I look like the walking dead though.
Tomorrow, after Church, we are going to the Annual NH Bridal expo, seeing that we live down the road, and I have the weekend off!
Then we are going to Weare to my mom and dad's for a cornbeef dinner. I hope she puts turnips in.....that's my favorite veggie.....you all can stop gagging now!
That's basically it. I have to bake a banana bread and cinnamon muffins for a brunch after church tomorrow......btw, did any of you try the bread I sent down for Christmas? Greg said he didn't get a chance, I just wanted to know how it was and if it's worth making again....
Have a good week!!!!!!!!!!

Happy New Year!

I'm not sure if I posted last week, it seems like it has been forever the last time I posted. Anyway, i'm still a little under the weather from the wisdom teeth. My jaw is a little sore but the strangest thing is that my arm where they stuck me full of needles, hurts like hell. I'm glad that I won't be going back there just because of the pain in my arm. Hope everybody got what they wanted for Christmas, tomorrow is the Allen's new year eve party hope to see as many as you there as possible.

The Warlord goes Woot Woot

Well, I'm starting to get a feel for DnD 4th ed. I'm playing Bonn, the inspiring Warlord... I've given all of my powers snappy catch phases. My favorite is still "Suck it up buttercup" for my healing "Inspiring Word" class power.

I picked up In a Wicked Age. It's and indie game. A sword and sorcery themed game featuring the oracle as a main source of plot generation. It also has a system of negotiation which I'm curious about. I'm just starting to read it. I'll tell you all more later.


My musical selection this week is a reflection on the end of the year and a look forward. Bob Dylan - The Times They Are A-Changin

Sunday

Hey guys.
I'm watching a documentary about Dede, the "tree man". He's got a severe case of warts and they've grown to cover his hands and feet, and they're starting to cover his face. It's sad, and I hope he gets better.
I really want MySpanish Coach, but apparently it's discontinued and I can't find it anywhere, except online where it costs $40. And that's just ridiculous.
Not really much else to talk about. I've been eating tons of candy, but that should be stopping soon. Hey, my next post will be in 2009. That's kind of exciting : D
Thank you all for pleasant Christmas gifts : )
I really want to get in shape. Not like a New Year's Resolution, but just because I want to. I've been trying to for years, and this past year I've been trying much more than ever before. I guess I'm a little better, but nowhere near what I would like to be. And I don't even mean like just to be thin, cause I don't really care much about that anymore, I just want to be able to run without feeling asthmatic. That would be nice. That's my goal, not for New Year's, just for myself.
Do you guys have any New Year's resolutions? Or, any goals you want to set for yourselves?
