Betcha thought I ran away, huh!
Well, my webhost has been down all day, so while I could surf, I wasn't able to access my blog and publish an update until now...we had to submit a 'trouble ticket' in order for them to notice...but now I'm online again...
We had an ice storm the other day, and like a dork I left my Bear Paw succulent outside, where it subsequently froze and then died...its a skeletal grey looking crunchy mess here...so today we took a trip to our favorite nursery and I bought a new replacement plant...and ya know what? this one will stay indoors during the winter! mine even had a little flower on it like the one pictured...
And then we ventured to Wal*Mart to return some Star Wars toys, and then off to Fry's Electronics - this is definitely the most I've been out in 'real' Christmas shopping all year...and it wasn't TOO bad cause we zipped in and out...
and finally, we stopped and found the COOLEST THING! You've seen those white deer for your yard, covered in lights and sometimes the heads move and up and down...we have a few ourselves, but didn't bother dragging them down from the attic this year...but we did go buy a new one to add to our herd - an orange LONGHORN with white horns, all decked out in orange and white lights...we're supposed to go pick it up tonight, after they attached all the lights to it...Brian said he'd take a 'night shot' for me, since he's better at that than I am...and I'll post it when its ready...we're keeping this one in our BACK yard cause with UT playing in the National Championship Rose Bowl this year, Longhorn-mania is rather high around town and we don't want to lose this guy...he's rockin' sweet...!
