My kids had their last day of school today and are now officially starting their winter break. They won’t be going back to school until 2012. Wow, when I put it that way it sounds like a long time! Unfortunately, they are both coming down with something. And, of course so am I. I plan to whine and complain frequently.
According to BGR, Amazon confirmed recently that it will release a patch for its Kindle Fire Android tablet that will address a number of bugs and user complaints. So, soon we will be able to edit our history on the Fire. I’m hoping that means we can decide what shows up in the carousel on the home screen. I’m not sure what else they’ll be fixing or addressing. The update should be rolling out soon.
Here’s a little something to put the kink in your holiday spirit. I love the dudes with the ball-gags. I’m pretty sure these will be next on my crafty things to do list. The whole family can help! Someone on twitter shared this pic, I clicked the link and by the time I came back the tweet was long gone lost in my stream. So whoever tweeted it, thank you.
We had a little bit of cold weather here recently. I live in a pretty mild climate so when the temperature drops into the 40′s we freak out a little. Brrrr. My husband came home the other night all bundled up tight and I teased him mercilessly for being such a weather wimp.


I threatened to buy him heated mittens and ear warmers. He was not amused. But I think he deserved a little teasing after he sent me a video of Santa saying how proud he is of me for no longer farting in public. Also, Santa would like me to stop swearing so much. Thanks hubs!
I saw this over at Dear Author this week and I have to share. This is very cool. Go do it and then come back and confirm how cool it is.
Ok that’s pretty much it for me this week. I’m looking foward to some time off for the holidays. The blog will still be active and I’ll be checking in, but I’ll do it from the comfort of my couch.
Happy weekend!
Love—FV






Lol, now those are the coolest cookies I have ever seen
I know, what’s cool is there is a whole crew of them. Would be a shame to eat one and break up the gang lol.
Yes, I love the cookies, the one on the left is Ginger-Dom Vishous… (the one with the goatee). And the stick dude is genius, hope you all fell better soon.
Ahahahahah!!! Ginger-Dom Vishous. OMG. Lolol. It IS! That does it. Now I need to make BDB ginger men. Lol.
Lol, love the cookies, and I have to say, those mittens and earwarmers, mmm, that might be just the thing to keep me warm this winter.
I dare you to get the ear warmers. I dare you! LOL
Love the leather-men gingerbread men! A few even have mustaches
I forgot how much fun it was to draw stickmen. And yeah, I couldn’t resist drawing some pervie ones.
They have a gallery of stickmen that people have drawn. I wonder if your pervy men will make the gallery? *crosses fingers*
I love how startled the ball-gag cookie on the right looks!
LOL I love him.
I would LOVE if I went and visited a certain site, it didn’t show up in my carousel. Snort. True.
Yes I would love to visit a certain site as well without any evidence. lololol
Glad you liked the stick man.
I also made a stickman…he was gimpy. I love. LOL
Nice cookies
