I hope everyone was able to occupy themselves while I was away. Well, I wasn't really away, I just wasn't blogging. It's not like I didn't have anything to blog about, plenty of things happened, it's just that I had TOO many things to do and something had to give. I felt guilty for the first week or two but after that, it was easy. It's kinda like going to the gym. You go every day and you feel great. Then something happens and you miss a day. You feel bad and vow to go the next day but that doesn't happen. Pretty soon, your sitting on the couch with a bag of Funyons watching NCIS reruns without one speck of guilt.
Let's see if I can give you a CliffsNotes version of my life for the past two months.
Shortly before Thanksgiving (I think), I really started spending tons of time on Facebook. It is awesome and can suck you in just like THAT! I'm on a mission to get everyone from my highschool class there.
Thanksgiving was spent at home with my hubby while wearing a heart monitor. Don't worry, I'm fine. I had a freak arrhythmia and the doctor wanted to monitor me to see if it happened again, it didn't.
We went out and got a new 32" Plasm HDTV. It's awesome. It has a built in HD receiver so kiss my ass Comcast! You're not getting anymore money from me! It was about this time that I discovered that there was a new Guitar Hero that added drums and singing! It was at that moment that I began my quest for an Xbox 360 and Guitar Hero World Tour.
I also picked up Sims 2 for the PC for only $20.00! I started playing that whenever I could.
Most of early December was spent making Christmas gifts for everyone (and playing Sims 2 and getting on Facebook). The big hits were the photo books I made. I made three different ones (Vegas, France and Spain, and the Twins). I'll have to make a PDF and see if I can post it here. I also made jewelry for everybody. I was in a real rush at the end so I only took pictures of a few of the pieces.
Union Jack's openned in time for Christmas. It looks wonderful inside. the food is hit or miss so far.
I am still fascinated by the frozen fountain. I'm not sure if it's the from of the ice or the fact that it had to freeze so many times before they turned it off. 
Christmas was spent at home with the hubby again. This time, I was sick and didn't want to infect anyone. Our dinner was TGIFridays.
The weekend after Christmas we went to Atlantic City. I did very well! I came home with enough money for....
XBox 360 and Guitar Hero World Tour
Which I have play everyday since. It's outstanding! I also did XBox live and play random people. Mostly, I am WAY older than they are. My XBox ID is winccricket incase you would like to play!
That brings me to today. I am still playing Guitar Hero everyday, I play Sims 2 about every other day, and I'm on Facebook ALL the time. We almost 60 classmates there now! All in all, I have a great routine going.
Here comes the wrench into my finely tuned after-work-slacker world, Idol starts tonight. That means live blogging will begin shortly. I'm not going to live blog the auditions because it's too random and quick. If anything good happens, like if Paula rips some of the new judge's hair out, I'll post it. Otherwise, it looks like live blogging will begin Feb. 17th with the first semi-finalists performances. I have high hopes for this year...I hope it doesn't let me down!
I got it! I got the newest Guitar Hero last night! I got it really late and didn't have a chance to play it last night. I've been dieing at work all day! I want to play!!!!! I'm at the second level (medium) on Guitar Hero III but I don't think I'll every get higher than that...not unless I can grow another finger.
Since I arrived home late last night, I did not have time to blog about SYTYCD.
Since I have the new Guitar Hero, I won't be doing it tonight so I thought I'd just post a few quick thoughts.
1. They kicked off Thayne and Comfort.
2. I was happy to see Comfort go but I thought for sure the judges would jump on the chance to send Jessica home. I really don't know how many more times they can kick sand in her face.
3. I'm sad that Thayne had to leave. He was a goofy guy that was funny and was an awesome dancer. I hope Mia keeps her word and gives him jobs. I'm sure he'll be one of the back-up dancers for the tour.
4. The guest dancers were awesome and frighteningly similar looking.
5. OMG! What the hell did they do to Cat's hair?!? I think she was hiding some baby birds in there.
6. I am in love with Katy Perry! The song was funny and VERY catchy! I downloaded the entire album today and have listened to nothing else. "Waking Up In Vegas" is awesome too. I highly recommend the whole thing!
7. America is in charge of who leaves from now on.
8. I'm excited to see how my favorites do with different partners.
That's all for now. I have to go home and play Guitar Hero!
GH is Awesome!
Some of you may know that my husband got me Guitar Hero III for Christmas. I know, not very romantic. Screw romantic! I LOVE Guitar Hero and Will be playing it for longer than I would wear a lace teddy!!! Lace teddy = 2 secs. Guitar Hero = FOREVER. Anyway, I'm stuck on Medium and I'm getting discouraged. I found a web site that gave me hope. It took the guy 8 months to get to expert. I got 7 months to go! He also had this cartoon. For those of you that have played the game, you will know EXACTLY what this means.
