a nit pick

In addition to the first official photo from the upcoming “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” movie, Warner Bros has also released their official description of the sixth Harry Potter movie as follows:

“Fantasy Adventure. Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort’s defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn’t counted on Romilda Vane’s chocolates! And then there’s Hermione, simpering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.”


Ok....Hermione doesn't "simper!" Ugh. And it's the FRIGGIN HALF BLOOD PRINCE PEOPLE!!!!!! AND NO MENTION OF SNAPE AT ALL! GHEEEEZ! HALF BLOOD PRINCE!!! ROMILDA VANE GETS MENTIONED AND NOT EVEN A HINT AT OR MENTION OF THE MYSTERIOUS "HALF BLOOD PRINCE" UGH! David Yates is so gonna screw this up....

Sigh...

Heehee! Can't take credit for this...
It's total silliness...
And ignore that Snape has boobs....

Trials and Blessings...

Well...
I'm not going to expound. I don't have time right now. But I do want to share a few memories of my old friend Obadiah.
I am really really sad about this loss. I saw him on Myspace a while back and didn't message him or anything and now I wish I had. It seems like such a waste. And so unlike the Obadiah that I used to know, but that's the key. He wasn't the same person I knew. Which makes me so sad. I met him in primary when I was about 8 or 9, in Nashville. We called him Obie. We stayed friends through high school, though our relationship was pretty rocky. Teenage jealousies, hurt feelings and all that. But I always thought of him as a friend. He was funny and intelligent. Definitely a unique individual. He came out to BYU after his mission to Romania and we found our friendship again, though it was different because I was dating and then married to Nathan. I even tried to set him up with my friend, Leah! Didn't happen! :)
He was making some interesting choices at the time and I was a bit put off by them, which I regret now. He left BYU to do his own thing. He was so intelligent and had so much potential. My heart hurts about the whole thing. I wish it hadn't been so hard for him. I wish...
I am going to post some photos once I get them scanned.

highs and lows....

I have so much on my mind. So many nice things have happened lately and so many sad and frustrating things. An old and once dear friend took his own life this week. I am so sad for his family and though we weren't close anymore, I feel at a loss.

My dh is having a particularly hard time with flying right now and could use any prayers.

i am very tired and sad and frustrated and not writing much more. Perhaps I will feel like actually "sharing" tomorrow...

!AAAAAHHAHAHHA

Thanks, Frank...!

Can I get a Woot Woot!?!? I am so proud of my DH!! (3 Doors Down-Citizen Soldier; National Guard Ad/Video)

Slacker.

Well, I've been a slacker. Haven't made a decent post in a while. Been so busy. I am assuming I'm not the only one, since it's the holidays and all. I'm having a cookie exchange tomorrow night and feeling a little overwhelmed. Have to cLEAN! today! Nathan is doing a special accident/safety briefing today that they do whenever they have a break. Around here, they call the 2 weeks off for Christmas the "Exodus". :P And they want, as Nathan says, "Everyone to protect against accidents, by making them aware of accidents." So they get bussed over to Dothan Civic Center and have to study accidents. Nathan said an accident usually happens the next day. :P
So anyhow. We are almost done cmas shopping. Just have a few things online to order. I love Amazon.com. Free shipping...yay!!
So, as I stand outside, I am reminded of 'The Year Without A Santa Claus' because Mr. HeatMeiser definitely has his claws in us this year. Hell...80* yesterday! UGH!!!! At least 60* please!!! Nathan has even said that he wishes we could live someplace with more snow for a change and then went on to say maybe the Alaska Guard needs pilots......hm.
Last night David laid down on my tummy and asked me if there was a baby inside. "No!!" I said. He said "but you're supposed to have lots of babies." ummm...what? Nathan said, "yeah, lots of babies". right.
Anyways...gotta go clean and get to the store and the post office...yippee.

I love sugar cookies.

that is all.

Exhaustion...

To say I'm tired would be an understatement. Yesterday, Sammy slept a lot. But not really that much more than normal. He slept pretty much the whole time were at church and had a fever most of the day and slept for 3 hours in the afternoon. He went to bed about 8. No biggie. Ike Ike took a nap with mommy and then didn't want to go to bed till 10:00. Which is when Sammy decided he'd had enough sleeping and was up until 1:30 am. Then I went to bed and right as I'm falling out hard, he wakes up and doesn't calm down until he's in our bed and it's 2:30 am. I am beat. Nathan has early flight line this week which means he is up by 4:00 am so I didn't wanna burden him with Sam but man, I've had it. It's 8:30 and I am going to bed. Sammy was pretty fussy before falling asleep tonight I just hope he stays asleep.
We have begun work on our traditional gingerbread house. We got it together but have to decorate it tomorrow as Isaac fell asleep at the dinner table and we don't wanna do it w/o him.
Big Dude got his first big dude haircut. He is not a big fan of change but he needed a haircut, he likes haircuts it just has to be the same style always, but he out of the blue decided he wanted "Spiky Hair". So he got it. His hair is so thick though that within a few hours it's flat, regardless of how much gel I put in it. He sure look sgrown up though. I will have to post a pic.
It was 77 here today. Ugh yick.... It's DECEMBER!!!
Anyways....thinking of all the things I'd like to get my kids for Cmas and trying to not blow our savings! :P

Because I'm a dork and Nathan says so.

So, here's my attempt at creativity. This is my remake of the song Winter Wonderland.

Dark Mark burn, I can feel it
On my arm, it appeareth
It's time to go play, the Death Eater way
Being in Lord Voldy's servitude.

Bald of head, scary demon
His red eyes are a-gleamin
I'l try not to vex
or me he might hex
Being in Lord Voldy's servitude.

From the Forest you can see the castle.
Inside there's that old coot Dumbledore,
Harry Potter, Ron, and Hermi-o-ne,
Ooh that mudblood bookworm's such a bore.

Severus is a hottie,
Lucius too, oooh they're naughty.
If their loyalties stray
they'll have to pay.
Being in Lord Voldy's servitude
Being in the Dark Lord's servituuuuude!!
