Rundown of the past week.

An old family friend was killed in a car wreck while driving to his parent's house Thanksgiving morning.

I nearly threw up at Thanksgiving dinner because the turkey was dry but I was trying to be polite and eat it anyway.

Spent roughly 8 hours at Travis's grandmother's house making X-mas cookies (8 hours of using a cookie press means my hands STILL hurt).

Found out NJ doesn't use e-titles, so I have to contact the KS DMV to send me a paper copy of my title so I can re-register my car.  And most people here say people in KS are backwoods hicks?  Hmmm apparently we're high tech hicks... o.O

On the same note of getting my car registered, I got my car insurance...its ridiculous how much it costs...I have a spotless driving record and yet its still costing an arm, leg, and twelve testicles to insure because prices are so high here.  Its understandable, though...considering NJ is ranked 2nd in the nation for bad drivers...KS on the other hand is 4th in the nation for GOOD drivers... And Travis wonders why I don't drive here.  (Its because I only learned to drive with people with at least half a brain on the road...I will lose it and start running people over if I try to fight traffic here.)

Bella found her hands.  She spends so much time staring at them all cross eyed now.  So cute.

I painted some more figures.  I hate the stupid snail and butterfly.  Too many small tiny places to paint.

My child has been hibernating...which is cool and all, but pretty weird.  I'm not used to having free time.

We were almost in a wreck ON the way to the DMV...apparently all the idiots in this state get behind the wheel and decide to slam on the breaks while driving 70mph down the expressway, in the rain, and try to pull a U-turn.  Fucking people make me want to slash tires.

We tried doing Xmas pics with Bella...her dress is almost too small already (its size 3-6) and the stocking that we got for her (we wanted to get pics of her IN the stocking) is too small to get any higher than her butt...We got some pics taken.  We had to jiggle her butt to get it into the stocking...she loved it.  I tried telling Travis it wasn't big enough but I guess thats what we get for having a big baby. :P  We'll have to find something else soon...I dont want to cut the stocking because that's what we'll actually be using for her for Christmas.
