So Michael and I are currently in search of the Rock Band 2 Special Edition for the Wii. So far, we have been to 10 stores…no one has it. It’s been rumored that the Best Buy on Bunker Hill will be getting a shipment this week (I will not reveal the date in case any of you are also searching for our game). Michael and I are total nerds and are planning on arriving at the store and waiting for the game–hot off the truck. Oh you may laugh and think us silly, but wait until you come over and play our game. Then you’ll be envious of our awesomeness and wish that you too had the Rock Band! Muaw-hahahaha!
On another note, we had a great Christmas! My family was all over and David and Ashley were here too! Much to our disappointment (and a very long car ride to Alvin) Norma’s was OUT of cakeballs. So Ashley, Mom and I endeavored to make our own. Hilarious! But delicious. Ashely and I have big plans for our future cake balls. We may just put Norma’s out of business. Just kidding Norma…I love you and your cake balls, but your bakery is way the heck away!
This years gifts received include new house shoes, snuggies, a new garbage disposal, drying rack for laundry, lots of clothes, Glee soundtrack valume 1 (which Rocks!), Pioneer Woman Cookbook, my first hair straightener, a curling iron and yes…I sound like an old woman! But I love my gifts! One of the coolest gifts this year is the home brewing kit that my brothers and Ashley got Michael. He is very stoked to announce the opening of the Waters Brewhouse in the 1st quarter of 2010. More on that to come I’m sure.
One of the most hilarious things that happened this year was the ruined Christmas day lunch. Let me paint this picture for you. On December 23, the women folk venture to the grocery store which was really poor planning. Mom, Ashley and I each had our own carts as we caravaned through the throngs of crazy people who also waited until the last minute to do the holiday grocery shopping. We split up a couple of time and then ended up double buying several items on our list. However, one key item, a can of creamed corn, did not make it in the cart or bag. The creamed corn is essential to Michael’s favorite creamed corn casserole. Also, we could not find the right sized Turkey. Michael said no bigger than 12 pounds for the fryer. My options were 5 pounds on 12.5. I went with 12.5. However, when the boys went to cook the bird, there was a little misjudgement on done-ness and we pulled the turkey out of the hot oil and it was not complete. So, Michael and I carved the bird and the MICROWAVED it piece by piece…basting it in butter and creole seasoning all the while. It was terrible. I didn’t even eat it! And neither did Michael. And all our plans of leftover turkey sandwiches were thrown out with the trash! Now, back to cream corn. I didn’t realize I had no creamed corn until it came time to put it in the casserole, at which point we tore apart the kitchen looking for it. No where to be found. I improvised with cornbread…it was ok. Oh also, I bought a lot of fresh green beans and forgot to cook them. It was pretty awesome! We laughed though and it was all ok.
So now Michael and I are enjoying our week off together. 1:15 p.m. and still in jammies! I love it!
Have a Happy New Year!
