Life is never dull

I spent today taking care of the last of my work before the week off for Thanksgiving.  Things have been really crazy with my job, and despite it being "part-time," I've been working my ass off!  Ok, well, not really, but you understand the expression.  Ken has been very quick to point out that not only has my ass not disappeared, but he would prefer it stay where he is.  Thank you, Love, for your  endless devotion to my posterior!  


So, Ken and I spent some time at the range yesterday in order to, literally, blow off some steam.  Ken loved that I took the time, and that I fired his new Savage .243.  I was expecting a huge kick to it, but I was pleasantly surprised when there wasn't.  It was nice.  

I was thoroughly looking forward to tonight's Family night so that Ken and I could spend some time together and cuddle. Unfortunately, Ken's temporary crown broke.  He debated about what to do: try the temporary dental adhesive or go to the VA and hope they call in a dentist.  Because of the sensitivity to heat and cold, he went ahead and drove down to Loma Linda.  


Now, when Ken left for the VA, Jordan was in the shower.  Jordan gets out of the shower, "WHERE'S DADDY!!"  She is frantically searching the house - naked, by the way - for Ken.  I explained that Daddy had to go to the hospital so they can get a dentist to put a new tooth in his mouth.  Jordan, "Daddy lost a tooth!  That's so sad!  You don't get money for losing your big kid teeth!"


Mandy was spending the night with her BFF, Maddie, so Ken and I decided to hold off on Family Night until tomorrow.  I went ahead and put on Alice in Wonderland for Jordan and me to watch in order to enjoy something of the evening.  I really enjoy Tim Burton's take on the world.  Jordan spent the entire time talking to Alice through the movie, "Don't drink that!  Don't eat that!  Don't go there!  Oh! You did it anyway!"  It was as entertaining listening to Jordan than watching the movie.  

OK, now, for those of you who are interested, I was checking out some of my favorite blogs today.  There are so many that I enjoy, but Love, Actually has another great idea posted on her site and I love that the idea came from a friend whose husband sounds an awful like mine.  It just proves that most men seriously only think about "one thing."

I'm hoping to be able to get motivated to do my holiday baking soon, and there's so many great recipes out there.  I know that the first thing Ken will ask me is if I'm going to make the Pfeffernuse.  They are his favorite at Christmas, and the answer is "yes I will."  (Just ask me about them closer to Christmas.)
