All grown up!

So this was the first year I cooked my own homemade tofu roast, thanks to a recipe from a great friend named Amber! I also made my own homemade stuffing for the first time ever-and oh my god, it was so good! Jake made the mashed potatoes-yummy! We also had our soy nog which to me is better than egg nog-which I wouldn't drink anyway even if I weren't vegan because I can't stand it-yuck! We had green beans and cheese puffs. We also, thanks to Ryan, (Tara's new beau), had chips and two types of salsa, green and chunky red. Man, my mouth is watering just thinking about it all again. Since we don't have a dining table as of yet, we ate on the couches while watching the best Christmas movie ever made- "A Christmas Story" and afterwards went to Deacon Dave's again, but this time with a few dollars change in hand to give to their charity. Thanks to my family for being there and welcome to Ryan who is a pretty great guy! I hope everyone's heart was full like mine was that night!! Happy Christmas and a great New Year! xoxoxoxo

Happy Ending...not that kind

The best way to end a day is with a hot cup of tea with the perfect amount of sugar and soy creamer and a new episode of Desperate Housewives to keep me company. I love it, simple but heavenly!

Halloween '09

I had a lot of fun this Halloween. I dressed up this year as Little dead riding hood. I took Aden trick or treating and after that went to Lorinda's for a few and caught up with some good friends and one of the most beautiful babies I've seen! What a blast!

Interesting...

Favorite Quote of the day!

My heart is your piñata.

Let's go Niners!!! 2-0

Wow! What a game! A sea of red in the seats, what a beautiful site! I just finished watching the Niner's game, (against the Seahawks), and it was just that-they dominated! I absolutely loved it! Due to my DVR I have been able to watch football and I am loving it. Without my DVR I would miss games even if I have the day off, yesterday I was too sick and slept most of the day-"I love DVR!" I used to love football like this and since working full-time for the last 11 years, I have lost touch. I am so happy to have a DVR and a plasma-not only can I watch the games the picture is beautiful! I have been scaring my cat Greg a little, because I am a little vocal when it comes to sports. He ran away once and then just jumped when I shouted from then on. I am so proud of my team, I think that has definitely been a part of my excitement for the game, they are playing so well! Yes, I know it has only been 2 games, but so far I love what I see. -Side note, since 1991 65% of the teams that started with 2-0 went into the play-offs.- Since the last time I actively watched football they have changed some rules...kinda strange and sometimes I have a hard time following, by no means do I know all the rules of football. I tried watching last week's Raiders game and was bored beyond belief, I guess the end was good, but I couldn't hang that long. I am in awe of Frank Gore #21 this last game first he ran 79 yards for a touchdown and then again-11 seconds into the third quarter on the very first play, he ran in 80 yards, (a career best), for a touchdown!!!!!! Altogether he had 207 rushing yards, only 5 yards short of his career best. He would have beat it for sure, but was taken out early in the beginning of the third quarter after rolling his ankle. This game marked only the second 200+ yard game he has played in his career! I know I am going on, but I am so excited for our team! Final 23-10!

Giant dream

I had a dream last night about giant models taking over the world. It was really strange. They were all so beautiful and Tyson Beckford showed up. I told him I used to have a crush on him and carried around his picture from People's Most Beautiful People in my binder in high school. They were evil at first but then starting being nice to us and laid down to talk to everyone. Then I went to Bend, Oregon and hung out downtown by the lake. Another part of the dream was trying to escape these "bad people" and I had 2 cages with all sorts of animals in them, rats, hamsters, turtles, snakes, fish too..I think and there was a hole in one of the cages so I spent the whole time putting the animals that escaped from the cage back in the cage before they got out and alerted the "bad people" from finding us. I don't know what that was all about, but that is what happened.
