Exchange unheard by me, but relayed to mwah by "Mama".

Michael (4 years old): "Mama, your beautiful!" With every ounce of sincerity
Mom  "Oh, thanks Mike" she was quite taken aback by his sincerity
Mike ...........
Mike "Mama! tell me I'm handsome!!" indignation at not being told he was also handsome. :-)

Lol I love this brother who is a sincere charmer, a wonderful snuggler, and an overall sweetie!

Tell me I'm beautiful,

For Christmas this year, we're gonna make some noise!!Let the world rejoice!

I'm listening to Christmas songs so that should explain the title, sort of. Anyways I'd like to know what do you like to read? Is it adventure, romance, or sci-fi? Do you like suspense or horror? I personally love to read every genre, except the romance. The adult romance books focus *ahem* a bit too much on the 'romance'. Some of my favorite authors are Madeline L'engle, Shannon Hale, Margy Higgins Clark, Ray Bradbury, Regina Doman  etc..  So now the comments are open,as always, for y'all to share your favorite books. or authors

Going for gold here, 2 posts in one night. Have y'all ever really missed someone?Like really really missed so much that it makes you sad in your pool of emotions?
I have. In fact I am right now. There are two women in my life who i miss Tons and would love to have them live close by so I could see them all the time. Both women are extremely knowledgeable which I suppose comes from age. One is my mom's mom. My grandma, she currently lives in HI and I only get to see her once a year. We've always been close though. It may sound strange, but I talk to her 2-3 times a week, that's if nothing exciting is happening. She's almost my mom too. The other incredible woman is my "oma", my dad's mom. Our story is a little different.  See my dad and I share a lot of things jokes, sarcasm, certain ways of doing things, but one tiny, little, rather important thing we don't share is genetics. He is and always will be my father, but unfortunately he is not biologically related to me. So seeing how that pans out my oma is not 'related' to me either. I've known her for almost my entire life yet up until a year ago I never really felt close to her. I mean I called her oma and she always treated me the same as my cousins, (now here's where it gets crazy) but I didn't feel like I was one of 'her' grandkids since all of them were bio-related to her or were white(I am a tannish person so you can imagine how that stood out next to pure white folks). That is until she started visiting us for a week or two at a time through out the year. As I spent more time with her and she spent more time in my lifestyle, I came very close to her. She loves me, even though I am not the same color as her, even though I am not related to her.And I saw that even though we don't share genetics we are still family. I enjoy being around her and I only wish she lived in Ga so that I could see her whenever I want. So there you have it both my grandmothers who I miss very,very much and wish I could see them more often.
Until later

Angels,stars, and reindeer

There are these awesome people who live up north, like Montana north. They are my aunt and uncle. We only get to see them once or twice every few years, but we love them!! They haven't come out of the dark ages yet (joking...kind of ;}) so unfortunately they do not have a computer, so we keep in touch by phone and letter. My uncle also likes to hunt, it goes something likes this; get in the truck, ride along the deer populated highway at 90 mph ( even though the limit is 70),it as many deer as possible, bring 'em home and make it in to sausage. It brings a totally new meaning to 'road kill'.

 Actually in truth that's probably what I would do if I could get the nerve to kill a deer,on purpose that is.


In the real world of cold harsh truths he goes real huntin with a gun and everything. The other day(ish)(ss) or so he shot an elk and we received two things(rolls?) of elk sausage, just in time for Christmas! I don't personally care for it but the littlers seem to love it.
 So as you can now see there was absolutely no point to this post except to write something down that didn't sound too crazy to my heat addled brain.
Oh and as of now I am undecided how I should sign my blog. My username is Claretta, which is actually my middle name I just thought it sounded cooler that my name, 'cause my real name is sort of like kitty just more of an A sound instead of an I.

If ya give a moose a muffin....or a cookie.

Anyone want a cookie? i for sure don't! We spent the weekend making batches and batches of cookies to give away. I think my hands are made of butter and my tongue is the color of chocolate.
Narnia..... wanted to see it opening night or morning I suppose 12:00 am is technically morning.  It was a spontaneous decision about three hours before the show.....they were sold out. Soo we'll wait until it comes out on dvd and then enjoy the trip back into Narnia. Christmas... we finally decorated the tree!!! It looks all pretty now with the star on top and all our decorations below. Pain.... I (and 2 of my sibs) am 2 months away from my black belt and seeing how I'm only 2!! months away my teacher has decided that onlyI  we need to 'condition' ourselves for that. Ahhemm I didn't realize torture was part of that conditioning.   and with that I will hobble walk to the kitchen and find a cookie...or some hot chocolate. :) Oh and Iamdesperatlywaitingformypsat scores to come in!! we moved after I took the test so the address it is being sent to is the old one!! desperation is settling in!~!~
