 click here to go to the Surivor website!!!! Last nights episode was the best.. I loved the look on Ruperts face when he turned and smiled at Christa and then they smiled at Sandra... I was screaming the whole time and it was hard to hear what was going on because everyone was running for the tv and trying to figure out why I was in such a state... Thank heavens the girls got it together and voted out Burton.. At least they can fight it out between each other... As far as I am concerned it should be a competition between Darrah, Sandra and Jon. Lill doesn't deserve to be there because she was voted out.. She should be gone.. I actually think Darrah might win this thing.. If she wins immunity again she is going to win for sure but then again, stranger things have happened... On next weeks Survivor the website says: - Letters from home bring a Survivor to tears, but one tribemate sees it as an opportunity to turn the rest of the tribe against that person. (((( do you think Jon will get a letter from his Grandmother? That would be the funniest thing to see ever)))) - A twist in the final stretch brings an unexpected battle for the Final Four. (((( Rupert can come back and take his crown as sole survivor???? I know, I know.. I'm just dreaming..))) Here are a collection of my Survivor Rupert pics.. tehe.. I love this guy!!!

 about
Christmas TimeAre you feeling stressed? - I am always stressed at Christmas. So much to do and so little time.. Are your Christmas cards sent out yet? - I'm going to address them later and send tomorrow How many do you send out? - Depends but I usually join an on line card exchange so maybe 20-25 Are some of your gifts wrapped yet? - Only a few. I haven't begun shopping yet Tell us something funny that has happened to you while out Christmas shopping? - Yesterday my Hubby and I were out running errands and we came upon a real Christmas tree sale. At one sale the trees were 30 for small, 40 for big and at this sale the trees were 15 dollars each and I asked did they deliver and they said yes. I was stranded on the side of the road while my hubby went with the tree guys to deliver the tree to our house. Tell us something that happened that was not so good while you were out Christmas shopping? - The crowds drive me nuts. We had one grocery store close so that meant the one that was left was filled with people and you could not even make it down through the ailse without getting hit by a cart or having to stop and wait. It was crazy...

6 hours and counting before my dentist visit.. Blah! My hubby wants to go into the office with me but I don't think I could handle that. I know I'm going to cry my eyes out and or throw up. I don't want him to see me turn into a wimp.. tehe.. NBC's Average Joe.... To be fair I am glad that Melana did not choose Adam the Average Joe. To be blunt, she didn't deserve him. Jason had the personality of a dead snail and what Melana found wonderful about him, we'll never know.. You can read in her bio that she was looking for a guy who could walk in and light up a room and that would have been Adam. He so rocked and Melana did not pick him.. I hope NBC has the good sense to find Adam a wonderful lady to share his life with. I'm sure there are women out there for him who are not self centered and childish because that is what Melana was. She chose to be with a child. I'm not sure if they are going to live in Jason's Mom's house with his family.. hmm, maybe. She deserves it.. I think I might write NBC a little letter in hopes of having Adam star in some type of bachelor show to find him a wonderful decent lady.. hmm, it might work.. Dad's checks are now in the bank!!! Yeah!!! I can't believe that he received the both of them.. Woo hoo.. I have so much stuff to do today now that they have arrived that I'm not sure what to do first.. |

It was so stormy last night that the power kept coming and going. We managed to get to see National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. I can't believe that movie was made in 1989.. I've seen it every year since and it is a classic in my house at Christmas. I adore Chevy Chase and wish he'd make a comeback.. Today, it's been raining most of the time but we'd had a bit of wet snow. A heavy wind warning is in effect and I see that two hours away on web came that it's a complete white out.. Shesh! Hopefully, we'll just have wind. In exactly 24 hours I will be sitting in the dentist chair unless I chicken out. Part of me wants to say the heck with it and hope I'll be okay until Spring but I don't know if I can wait. I certainly don't want to eat all soft food until then.. Yuck! Tomorrow, Dad is supposed to get his check that he is owed. I've never been so upset with a company before in my life like I have been with Workers Compensation. Dad is owed money and I think they will find any excuse to try and hurt you and mess your life up. They now owe him 1600 bucks and hopefully tomorrow he'll get it. As long as he gets the one check tomorrow and the two he is owed on the 22nd then that is fine but he should never have had his wages suspended again for the second time this year. They know his phone number, they know where he lives but it doesn't matter how many times you have contacted them, they still can find some way around it. The worst thing is, we are the little guy and they could care less about us. Grrrrrrrr... Some day I'll be rich and famous and then I'll kick them in the knee for messing with our family.. Poor Dad is going deaf and his voice is going too so he has a hard time trying to hear what they are saying or trying to ask for what he wants. I feel so bad for him and I feel like I've failed him when thing like this happen. Double Grrrrrr...
Tonight, it's Christmas Fear Factor and the finale of Average Joe... I'm sure I'll have a lot to rant about. tehe

My friend Lisa stopped by last night. She bought us all pizza which was soooooooooooooo good!! Yummy! We watched A Very Muppet Christmas and gabbed and laughed like we always do. It was fun! Tonight, I'm not doing a thing. I'm going to laze around in my jammies and watch tv... I'm getting nervous thinking about my dentist appointment on Tuesday. I know I'm going to cry.. Eak! |

click here to go to the Surivor website!!!!  Go Rupert, Go Rupert!!!! I know Rupert was voted off but I'm bringing back my Rupert for Survivor winner because I still think he should have won and I wish that now of all times they'd give the chance to someone on the jury to come back and kick butt because Rupert could win this thing all by himself.. Please, oh please.. I honestly do not know what is going through the minds of the Survivor contestants. Once again I wonder if they had ever watched the show before going on it. I was sad to see Christa go but I still have hope for Sandra. She will probably be voted off next so she needs to do some smooth talking with Lil and Darrah to vote off Burton or she will never ever have a chance. It doesn't matter if Jon is still there or not. Whoever went up against him would win for sure. He has offended and hurt every single person there plus he is the most disgusting liar ever. I hope they find out about his Grandmother at some point because that would be funny. I would like to see Lil and Darrah hold him down while Sandra pinched him so hard it brought tears to his eyes.. Is that mean of me to say?!!! tehe |

about Decorating For Christmas Do you have a fake or real tree? - We have a fake tree but we hope to have a real one in a week or so.. Do you use white lights or colored lights? - The tree in the family room has all white lights but the other tree we are putting in the dining room will have colored. What do you put on top of your Christmas tree?- A silver angel Do you put a train around your tree? - No, the cats would eat it.. Do you have all your Christmas shopping done already? - We live in a small town so most of the presents are ordered from the city.. We won't be finished until the 23rd..

 I spent most of last year annoyed by all the snow. I was depressed and upset because I couldn't go anywhere and I made a promise to myself to be excited by the snow this year.. Guess what? It's snowing.. This is our first snowfall of the year!!! All I can say is Bring It On |

Lisa arrived and picked us up and my hubby and I went along on a ride of death. Lisa drives fast. My hubby was scared.. tehe.. It was too funny.. We paid bills, went shopping and then had pizza for lunch at the new pizza place that just opened.. I'm not a pizza fan but it was really good and wasn't expensive at all. Later that evening it was sofa and tv time. First, I watched Fear Factor. I only started watching it this summer because I saw it once and it made me so sick that I threw up and couldn't stand to see it again. One night there was nothing on tv and I turned it on and now I'm hooked. I don't throw up anymore so that is a good thing. After Fear Factor was Las Vegas, which I love. It's my favorite new show next to Tru Calling. I think Las Vegas might make it another season but I don't think Tru Calling will.. It's a hunch! Then, I watched Average Joe. I thought the show was going to be good and it is but it's not what I thought it was going to be. The girl who is looking for love is very vain. She claimed to have wanted a man for love and nothing else but you could see her face the moment the Average Joe's started to get off the bus and you knew that she was in fact looking for a pretty boy. In last nights episode she was turned into an over weight person and tricked the guys into thinking she was someone else. She was upset then at how they treated her but isn't that exactly how she treated the guys when she met them and kicked them off one by one? The whole time she was kissing one of the "pretty boys" she was telling him how good looking he was and inflating his ego and her own. It was disgusting. Looks do matter! Let's face it.. We always judge people on how they look the first time we meet them. Those who say they don't are lying to themselves because we all do. The 2nd and 3rd time we meet them and judge them on their personality is what counts. It's Law and Order SVU tonight and it's a new episode..Yeah!!! |

I've been doing laundry and cleaning up. In a few minutes I'm going to decorate a little and get something to eat. Hopefully my hunnie will make toast.. He does it so well. He cooks it over the stove and not in a toaster.. He's strange but I love him.. tehe!!!

click here to go to the Surivor website!!!! Survivor Rules - It was by far the best episode I have ever seen except for the first season with Richard naked.. tehe (he might have been a beaner but he had the most beautiful eyes.. *school girl crush moment*) When the remaining Survivors get back from Tribal Council, Sandra hides Ruperts fish and then slams Jon to the ground for betraying Rupert. You go girl!!! I really would have hidden the fish myself if I was in her place. I would have kicked Jon too so I guess she is a better woman then me because I would have been pulling hair and scratching eyes.. tehe!! Next is the reward challenge and all the Survivors get to see their loved ones before they walk the plank. In the most horrible, most disgusting move in Survivor history, Jon's friend Thunder Butt tells Jon his Grandmother has passed away. At this point I'm trying not to cry my eyes out even when Lil breaks down because I hate her now and she doesn't deserve to win anything but Jon takes the cake. I start bawling my eyes out and I'm so sad and praying that they will let Jon go home at least for a day so he can pay his respects to his Gran and at least find some type of comfort with his family. They allow Jon to win and he's goes back to camp with his buddy while the rest of the team head to another island with only a pack of matches and a knife. While Jon is with his friend it is revealed that Jon's Grandmother is not dead but a lie his friend and him made up so Jon would gain sympathy and win a competition. Oh my gawd! I was in shock and I hate Jon even more now.. I would never be able to lie about someone dying.. Shesh! How horrible of a person can you be? Jon needs to walk the plank in shark infested waters.. Darrah wins Immunity and instead of voting out Burton they vote out T.. How stupid was that? What were they thinking? Didn't they watch Survivor? I think Sandra will probably be voted off next now. I thought she was smart but I have my doubts now.. Burton will win and they will all feel so bad and wonder what happened.. Grrrrrrr.. Rupert walked in with the jury!!! He had pants on.. tehe!!! I cheered for him as he walked on screen and I saw his face when he realized that they didn't eat his fish when they got back to camp.. It was wonderful!!!! It made it all worthwhile. Note left on coffee table - This chocolate kiss is from me I hope there's no pee so good morning to you there's probably pooh The cats are asleep not making a peep so Merry x-mas woo hoo!!! Ps/ today is.. can u guess? ( on the other side of the note is a picture of a Christmas tree) put up the tree day!! Yippee!! Remember it's not every day you get your Seoul back
my hubby has to be the sweetest guy in the whole world.. I wanted to put the tree up on December 1st. He doesn't understand why I love Christmas so much and part of me doesn't know either. I just love the lights and the decorations... |

click here to go to the Surivor website!!!! At least I get to see Rupert on the jury.. I don't know how I'm going to handle seeing him. I can only imagine the look on his face.. I'm hoping he's cleaned up and looking good but then again I still love him dirty, scruffy and wearing a skirt!!! Ahh!!! |

While Dad and I are out, I have to buy wrapping paper, gift bags, tags and I'm going to check out the new decorations since we are having two trees this year. The artifical tree is going up in the dining room next week. The real tree is going in the basement living room. After Dad and I get back, my hubby and I are going shopping as I have a million errands to run today. I'm praying my digital camera will be here. I had hoped it would be in on Friday and I decided against checking the mail yesterday so hopefully it will be here today.. I ordered a cd burner yesterday for my brother for Christmas. He wants a burner and a zip drive. I have to call another store later today to check on the zip drive because I might get a good deal on a second hand one and then he can have that and I'll get him something else for Christmas. He's been begging for a zip drive for a long time because his broke and he had three discs full of stuff. I also ordered smelly stuff from The Body Shop and some new clothes and underoos.. It was a shop til you drop day yesterday and I never left the sofa!!! |

I'm still doing laundry and I'm cleaning up the basement every time I take a break.. All my RAOK is done and as of this minute I have everyone e-mailed back! Yeah for me.. I think Lisa will be here later and I will probably have to get dressed although I might change and put on my jammies instead of this night gown.. I can't be that big of a dirt bag today, can I? |

As you can see I finally have LaceysGarden.com back!!! Yeah!! Yippeee... I'm being hosted by Jana at Love 4 Country.. She is a real sweetie and she has awesome offers for those just starting out on the internet and who would like to have their own domain. Check her out!! Also, the graphics used here were purchased from Jeanne over at Jeanne's Country Cottage. I think they are just adorable. If you like them, contact Jeanne. She is a sweetie too and very quick to respond and help you out. click here to go to the Surivor website!!!! I need to rant about Surivor! I'm so broken hearted that Rupert was booted off. I'm hoping that Sandra will win now because no one else deserves to win. I really thought Rupert would win Survior. He had all the stuff that people need to look up to in a role model. I'm glad he got as far as he did and I know that he will go far in life. He is a likable person who is real and I know a lot of people could relate to him and enjoyed him. I know he is going to get movie, commercial and tv deals. It's going to be awesome!!! I'm just sad he didn't get the title of Survivor.. |
