New tat

Here is my new tat! It was quite painful, getting one on the top of my foot but I love it! The Wilmas are getting tattoos together. 4 of us got them Saturday and we had a blast. This was the day after our champagne party. Of course I still don't have a camera so you will have to go to Angie  or Jenn or Shannon s' blogs to check out the really cool pictures. They are way better bloggers than me anyhow. Make sure you check out Amy's video. You will see getting a tat on the top of your foot isn't for everyone. We had an awesome weekend & I couldn't ask for better friends.  Shane said he was going to get one on his butt that says EXIT ONLY!! He says this will come in handy if he ever goes to prison. 

No train riding here

Sorry..no train pictures. BUMMER. Because of this crappy weather, we didn't go to Lewistown. We woke up Saturday to a blizzard and didn't want to chance getting into an accident or getting snowed in up there. They were expecting 2 feet of snow. I know..I know. We should be thankful for the moisture mother nature is providing. But when you step outside because you need to venture to Wal Mart to get stuff to make more Christmas goodies and your nose hairs freeze and you can't see because your eyes are watering and they freeze shut, you just can't be thankful this all will melt and be good for farming and fishing in the spring & summer. I guess we should be thankful we still have power. With highs around -13, BE THANKFUL...things could be worse.

The Wilmas are getting together this weekend for our annual Christmas party. It should be loads of fun. Whenever we get together, it is loads of fun. Here is a picture of Billings. BRRRRRRRR

Finally...a post

                                                                                       Well I finally got the pictures off Shane's camera from Thanksgiving weekend in Gardiner. WOW...I hope Santa reads 







this because I would LOVE it if he brought me a new camera since my in caput! Still wet from me falling into the Stillwater River while fly fishing. I thought by now it may work but it turns on but just a white screen and takes just white pictures. GRRR! It has thrown me for a loop blogging and I apologize. But thanks to Shane....here are some pictures from Thanksgiving and (sorry Deb) his first bull elk! And the meat is so delicious! I am still zero for zero for my elk. I could have had one last weekend but some idiot hunters shot into a heard of about 30 about 15 minutes before shooting time...which is so illegal. They got their elk and scared the rest onto private land.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Sorry for not posting pictures from last weekend. Shane got his elk! WOO HOO! A nice 5x5 bull elk. He was so excited. I don't think as excited as TJ was! So we are heading back out this weekend since they extended the season for another month. So Shane has one more tag to fill and I am still at ZERO so I hope to fill 2. So hopefully we will have plenty of elk to share.

I am going to finish my Christmas cards today and get them mailed out. WOO HOO! I am also done with my Christmas shopping. I am so excited about that because I hate fighting people in the stores. It is such a crazy time to shop and I am not much of a shopper. I love to find a good bargain but just to go shopping...it just isn't for me. I need to get cracking on my Christmas baking. I love to bake. I baked some easy cheesecakes this week for a dessert auction. They were easy and quite tasty. So now I need to make Rosettes which I love to make & they are so good. They kind of taste like a funnel cake but they take forever to make. I may also make Ritz filled with peanut butter & dipped in chocolate. I am also going to make some toffee cookies for a work cookie exchange. So that may be all I make. I'll see how much time I have. Next weekend is Polar Express. The following weekend is Wilma party & work party. And then it's CHRISTMAS! I guess I should decorate a little in my house. I did get my decorations out since we are decorating our doors at work for a contest and needed some ideas and/or decorations.

So I hope you are having a good time getting ready for Christmas. I know I am. 

And how cool is it that the Capitol Christmas tree came from Montana?

As I got up today I showered and looked outside. It looks like it will be a very nice day...sunshine. As I looked across the street and they are mowing  their lawn. It is Nov. 16th and the grass is still green. We have had some rain, snow, frost so I guess the grass is soaking up the moisture. I just am amazed we haven't had more snow. 

Well I haven't been doing anything exciting to blog about. I am still working 2 jobs. I am almost done Christmas shopping and have my Christmas cards purchased. I am going to try and get them addressed and sent out right after Thanksgiving. I will be going to Gardiner to spend the weekend there. I am hoping to get an elk but the pickings are slim again this year. So we'll see.  I need to make some goodies to take to Gardiner. I am thinking some snack mix so we can snack while we play cards or put a puzzle together. I will also make a couple different kinds of cookies. My aunt and cousins will also come up so that will be fun. How are your holiday list coming along? Mine keeps getting longer...and longer. 

I am looking forward to going on the Polar Express with some friends. We are going to have a blast!

Well off I go to the store to get some goods to make some goodies! Enjoy your Sunday & don't forget to root for Carl Edwards in the last race of the season.

New President

Kudos for everyone who voted. I hope our new President will follow through on the things he has promised to make our nation a better one. He knows there is a lot at stake.

“Even as we celebrate tonight we know that the challenges tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime: two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century,” Obama told a crowd of more than 100,000 in Chicago’s Grant Park.

Goblins

Just a few photos from the Halloween Party we went to. It was a blast!! We laughed & laughed & danced & danced.

Work party..what a bunch of goblins!

Happy Halloween

Party..party..party

Party time?? We will be attending a Halloween party Friday night. I won't disclose what we will be but I hope to post pictures. I don't want anyone stealing our idea because there will be a costume contest with prizes! I love prizes! It should be a fun time. I hope to take some pictures...if my camera dries out enough. A couple of weekends ago we went fishing & it was the first time I took my camera with me fishing..into the water. Of course I slipped & fell into the FREEZING Stillwater River. BRRR! And my camera got a little wet. The pic card was OK so I should post those pics!

Finally Friday

Thanks for not giving up on me blogging. Sorry I don't post as much as I would like to. I have been busy working 2 jobs, started to Christmas shop, have had to Birthday shop and spending some time with my man. We are heading to Absarokee for tonights battle with the Gardiner Bruins football team. I will get to see my brother, his girlfriend & my neices. So I am stoked!! So enjoy your weekend & hope to post something exciting sooner than later. Maybe I'll get out & take some fall pictures.

First snowfall of the season
