I just want to say I found a new forum called Hawaii Moms. Even though I live in Florida we have a lot of family there. The ladies on the board have made me feel so welcome. I just wanted to send out a great big mahalo to them for welcoming me into their community.
I LOVE CHRISTMAS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!

My husband and I went out to dinner with his boss and some new clients. It was a very nice restaurant you know, one that we would not normally go to with the children in toe. Even though it was a business dinner we were very excited to go to a dinner without having to look at a children’s menu or worry about if the Cheerios were in the diaper bag.
We all sat for dinner and ordered wine and appetizers to start and everything was so beautiful and it was going so well. This was a seafood restaurant so naturally my husband orders steamed crab, his favorite. The main course got there and everyone was getting along really well and the clients were so impressed with him.
As Matt was peeling the crab I guess he did not realize a piece of the shell stayed on the meat before he put it into the butter dish. Matt put the meat in his mouth and bit down and the shell that was left on the meat snapped his crown right off. Instantly the whole table new something was wrong. Matt was in so much pain. We had to leave the dinner to get him home. He was so embarrassed. If we would have had Dentemp OS, he could have put the crown back on, stopping the pain and we could have continued having dinner with the clients in about an hour. Having the ability to do a temporary dental repair would have saved the dinner.
Did you know that? I guess I did because they have seeds but I really don’t think of a pumpkin as a fruit more like a vegtable. Anyway, with Halloween almost here that means Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here soon. I love the holidays starting with Halloween, it is like the kick off. So looking around I found a cute little activity you could do with your little ones. You can make your own pumpkin pattern.
Pick your favorite mouth, nose and eyes. Print it out and carve your pumkin. Have fun.
So we just got the word that lay offs are happening in our company. The department upstairs from me let go 10 people this morning. Now my floor is waiting to find out if they affect us too. You know my feelings are mixed on this one. I always said when I go to work and wondering if I am going to get laid off then it is time to move on from that job.
On one hand I would love to get laid off, you know spend some time with Lani while I look for another job but then there is the other hand. The evil hand, the hand that tells me I would freak out and instantly go into panic mode. I would start to think, what if I don’t find another job, what if it is months before I find one, what about the bills, what about Michaela graduating this year and this being the most expensive year for high school, what about the daycare bill I would be paying to keep Lani active in the school so that when I went back to work I would have somewhere to keep her?
You see there would be no joy in me getting laid off because I would not see the bright side, if there is one, I would only see the terrible things and worry about stuff I did not even have to worry about. I would really like to make a life change now. Some how what I do now just does not give the reward in life I am looking for. Besides, it is always easier to make a life change when someone else does it for you. Right?
This cool site is called BeFunky. Right now it is by invite only but you can sign up and when they have an invitation open they will send it to you. I signed up and I am waiting for my invitation now but my husband has an account and made this for me. Thanks, Matty. I thought it was too cool. So now you know what I look like, well, at least in cartoon form.
I just added a link in my blogroll for a friend of mine. He is a really cool guy and makes one heck of a pirate. His site is a little out of date but he assures me he is going to revamp the whole thing. So the next time you need a little adventure in your life look him up. He even has the eye patch, not sure about the parrot though.

As promised here is the French poodle. Isn’t she just the cutest. This was the only picture I could take of her sitting up. She does not like this costume at all. She just lays on the floor with her arms up in the air looking at looking wondering what in the world are you doing to her. I guess we are going to have to go with the bee costume.
A blue diamond breaks the per caret sale price of any stone ever auctioned. The blue diamond was auctioned by Sotheby’s in Hong Kong. The total price of the diamond was $7.98 million. The flawless blue diamond has a total caret weight of 6.04 costing $1.32 million per caret.
It has not even been a month and we are on our 3rd fundraiser. It all started with my oldest and coffee for the orchestra. It was not a bad deal, each pack of coffee made a pot and it was “gourmet” coffee so you know everyone bought it. At a buck who could resist?
Then it was Lani’s turn. Just a catalog of random Christmas cards and wrapping paper, you know the drill. Then, two days ago I pick Lani up from daycare and there stapled to her lunchbox. You guessed it another fundraiser, this time cookie dough. I tell you what dough I need and it is not cookie. Of course everytime they bring this stuff home you have to buy something and my dough is going faster than the cookie dough.
Anyone else have issues with this? Why do they just do fundraisers at Christmas and why do they do them back to back to back? How does this make sense? My oldest just told me she will be bringing home another one. I think I am going to lose my mind. Now I just bring them to work and put them on the table in the kitchen and if someone wants something they will let me know, I am tired of sending out emails.
