Franco's new toy...

Franco got a great present from his "Grandma" and "Grandpa". A wind-up penguin!

"Hello new friend!!"




"Lemmie see here..."




"Ah! Here is where I wind you up!"




"Muahhh!"

Merry Christmas

OWIEEEE!!!

Earlier today I suffered a Christmas cooking mishap. Let's just say that you should be careful and pay attention when you are using a meat tenderizer mallot...







I was trying to crush up a Heath bar for a pie I was making and wasn't paying attention and THWACK! I tumped the nail side of my pointer finger on my left hand with the mallot, full force! It immediately hurt, and within minutes the nail had a purple mark... now the under side of the finger is really bruised, swollen and very sore :(

The bird ate Chris' lunch...

Chris made two turkey, roast beef and cheddar sandwiches for lunch for himself this afternoon. As he turned around to put the "ingredients" back into the 'fridge, Franco flew down to the counter and helped himself to part of Chris' sandwich. He totally shredded 1/2 of the top piece of bread on one of his sandwiches. It was really funny. The weirdest part was, Franco, a bird, was eating a turkey sandwich!!! I mean, isn't that cannibalism?


Chris: "What did you do? That was MY sandwich!!"


Franco: "I don't understand you... I'm testing it out to make sure it is good before you eat it. You should be thanking me!"

Carrie Underwood Rocks!

We went to the Carrie Underwood concert last night at the UCF Arena. She was great! The arena is a relatively small venue and we had great seats. Little Big Town opened for Carrie and they were good, and then Carrie was GREAT. She brought up a 6 year old little girl to help her sing the last little big of All American Girl, played her guitar for various songs, brought Little Big Town back out for a song with her, and my favorite was her encore... she sang Paradise City by G-n-R! Chris enjoyed the concert too... What guy wouldn't? Carrie came out initially with a short SHORT dress on and thigh high nylons. Very sexy :)

5:10 AM and still up...

I'll try to get some sleep now...

Oh, boy...

Awake at 3:30 AM... ew.
