Bring on the snow :)

Hey all, how was your Thanksgiving and potentially deadly black Friday experience?  I valued my life so I did not venture out into the land of the crazy shopping people until much later on Friday afternoon when I finally made it to Jeff(erson) City.  I was mucho excited that my sister had the weekend off so we decided to have a girls weekend !!  P.S.  much like myself my sister never has time off.

Start to the weekend?  4 hours of shopping AS SOON AS I reached Jeff City.  We also meandered through Hyvee (my sis is a pharmacy tech there) and while she was getting her prescription for her ear filled I decided to peruse the wonderful (especially compared to what I'm used to) Health Food section.   They had all kinds of things that Kroger and Walmart don't have.  I thought I was in heaven.  AND they can even special order things for you!  Needless to say I spent about a half an hour looking at the 5 aisles of new stuff and made my way home with some gluten free pancake mix, some new coconut milk to try, and some fresh and I mean fresh almond butter.  I will totally have to take a picture this weekend when we go back for Cookie making extravaganza!  This was the coolest contraption I've ever seen.  You could make your own fresh PB and almond butter ON THE SPOT!!!  I'm stoked.  It's gunna happen on the grocery shopping trip on Saturday hehehe.

It was so awesome to spend time with my sister and my niece who's name has been WooWoo since she was born (it's really Whitney .)  We always have a total blast because we are both completely not right in the noggin.  For dinner we went to Olive Garden and I had stuffed chicken Marsala.  Never had it before but it rocked!  Gunna have to find a way to Paleo it up!

what's left :)

Saturday, Manda wasn't feeling too hot because of her ear so we only did minimal shopping and went home to start on some X-mas decorating.  Way fun.  I introduced them to the wonder that is Kazaa radio and downloading.  We revisited one of my sisters favorite Christmas songs when we were kids called Dominic the Donkey.  Which then led to us acting a fool and being complete dorks which my niece thought was great fun.  The night ended with a couple hours of playing old school Mario Bro's on the Wii and then playing another Mario game which led to more laughing hysterically when my Bro-in-law made his Yoshi eat me and spit me out at the bad guy...(me)"Did you really just eat me?" (Bro) " Um yup ..I'm pretty sure I just did"  Get you damn heads out of the gutter it's a game! lol.  Ok ok, so alcohol might have been involved which is probably why we thought it was so funny but hey I drink once in a blue moon.  Gotta have fun sometimes!

Oh yeah we totally rocked some home made Chinese food Saturday night too!! Recipes to come later in the week.  I make some mean sweet and sour chicken and Crab Rangoon!

Sunday before I left I managed to finish sewing the pillow covers for my sisters bedroom that she's redoing and Woo and I made the most awesome ginger bread house E.V.E.R.

One side of the roof was tie died then we made a flower garden with Oreo icing and had icicles and snow and grass and all kinds of cool crap.  I took some more closeups which I will add later but my camera is at home...DOH!

More adventures to come this weekend I'm sure as I will be making lots of Christmas cookies with both the Peanut Monster and Woo on Saturday!!!

Time to get to work on some computers and can't wait to get to ResFit tonight to workout.  I feel like because I didn't get to workout Thursday of last weekend because of that whole Turkey Day thing that I need a good butt whoopin.  Don't get me wrong took Youkey and Dixie (my sisters Boston Terriers) for walks but it's not the same man.

Have a great Tuesday all!
