Our ice machine broke over the weekend. CRISIS! Thank god it's fixed now. I am totally addicted to eating ice, I sit with a 1 liter mug full of it next to me all day long. Whenever the ice machine goes out, I seriously lose it. Ice trays just aren't the same because they don't freeze fast enough for some reason. But anyways, it's fixed now and that's all that matters. Yes, I know chewing ice is bad for me. Yes my teeth are going to fall out. I don't care. Everyone has their vices, and considering mine is chewing ice and not drinking heavily or smoking or furryporn I think I am doing ok.

This weekend I finally got the Halloween decorations down. Go me! It's only a week til Thanksgiving! I have so much to do this week. I am going to write it all here so I can remember. Tomorrow Zoe starts Tae Kwon Do. Have to remember to take her down there at five (Evan is in the advanced class at six now) Tuesday grep has to go get her annual shots at the vet. Also tuesday night Evan and I need to make empanadas for the school's International Thanksgiving Feast: "bring something that represents your cultural heritage and family tradition!" cj_ and I were joking about this since the kids are such mutts. "Frozen pizza! a six pack of tacos from taco bell! Mac&cheese!" We finally just decided on empanadas because they are easy to make, kids like cookies, kids like jam, and it represents two sides of his culture, the mexican side from me, and the danish side from his dad (using danish jam as a filling) Wednesday the kids get out early. Thursday I gotta get up early and make food to bring to my aunt's for Thanksgiving. This weekend I wanna go down to Monteray and go to the aquarium and pick up the bedframe that heather is so kindly giving us for V. Who is, incidentally, back and just as irritating as ever.

My room is all super cozy. I hung up some more pictures and stuff today, and V and I stopped by Toast's house tonite after dinner to pick up a space heater he gave me. So now it's actually warm in there even though it is (11:46PM <madcow> Brisbane, California: 45F/7C, humidity: 66%, wind: SE at 5mph, Scattered Clouds) out. I want someone to come visit me now. Open invitation to come spend the night at my house! well as long as you aren't a creepy internet stalker. We also hit up Target where I knocked yet another person off my XMAS list. I am halfway done shopping and it's not even December yet. Go me! Now to get those Christmas cards out and figure out what craft project the kids can make this year for their own presents.

Well this update certainly was pointless. Here, have a link or two to make up for it. Fresh memes, straight out of the oven folks.
