I am cold and I ate too much

Hello internets

it's Sunday, and it snowed, and it's friggin' frigid outside.  My Christmas decorations are half up, I have a baby passed out on my chest effectively making it difficult to breathe because hello, have you seen him lately?  Yeesh, talk about dead weight.  There are open bins strewn everywhere because we failed to get the Christmas tree up like we had planned due to the unfortunate misplacement of one key item: the tree stand.  Somehow between our two moves in the last year it got lost.  So, you know, that sucks.  I'm a tree up the day after Thanksgiving kind of girl so I'm trying not to sweat it.  To distract myself I ordered our holiday cards, and I sort of love them.  Except for my face and especially my hair which is, in my opinion, a bit tragic.  I will go ahead and pull the "I just had a baby card" so you know, whatever.  Everything appearance wise is awkward for me right now.  My hair is at this weird length, my face still thinks I'm pregnant, my thighs are juicy city, and we won't even talk about my muffin top because honestly, I have no words.  

But this isn't supposed to be a pity party post I swear.  Mostly I wanted to brag about how sweet Thanksgiving is at my parent's house.  We eat turkey and all other sorts of deliciousness like everyone else, but then we go outside and build a fire and shoot guns, like this:


and here's my brother, the cowboy,

howdy Tex.

For the record I hit like 3 out of 8.  So basically, if I ever get into a gunfight with a flock of geese I'd say the odds are in their favor.  Party on geese.

we got a little aggressive cleaning out our garage last summer and i think we accidently threw our tree stand away. i wonder how a horizontal christmas tree would look this year?

Thank you, thank you, friend. You can reply to this comment and I will get an email.

Also, if I come to Utah this winter (I just might), I think we should meet.

And I wish I got to play with a gun on Thanksgiving - lucky.

And and, my word verification is mundommu. I think we should make us a definition. Perhaps big momma underwear.

The end:)

Love shooting guns. We should get all the Sassies together and go shooting. Can't wait to see your Christmas card. (In other words, I better be getting one!)

Guns. You're my kind of peeps. Too bad you aren't still on facebook (not too bad, facebook is lame) or you would have seen where I thought my house was getting shot up and I walked around with my gun looking for gangstas. Really, it was just Diet Coke cans we left on the back patio and it was 15 degrees out and they all started exploding. Awesome.

You DID just have a baby you ding dong. I can't use that excuse.

I'm gonna use the "I just had a baby thing" and someone's gonna go, "Awww... how old is your baby?" And I'll be all "Seven." And they'll be all "Seven months?" And I'll be all, "Uh... yeeeaah. Yeah." But really, my baby will be 84 months. I need to get my ass to the gym.
