Jordan is the winner!

She wins first place at the 2nd Annual Ugly Ornament Contest. Her ornament is fairly related to my winning ornament from last year. Her ornament choice was a toilet brush looking thing with a tinsel bow, two silver bells and a candle in the middle. Not only is it really ugly but it's also really phallic. Our ugly ornament tree is turning into a decorated toilet brush tree! I think each year I am going to try to find an ornament that resembles a fancy toilet brush. LOL!!! Jordan and I found the motherload of ugly ornaments - the Christmas section of Macy's!!!!!! The entire collection of ornaments they had this year made it really difficult to choose the most hideous. We were laughing so hard at some of the ornaments we scared off all shoppers in that section! As we made our way around the displays and kept commenting on the ugly or disgusting or EW ornament and then totally laughing about it, the shoppers slowly thinned. One lady even went behind us and picked up an ornament that we had just been laughing at and contemplated it then looked at us, returned the ornament to the bin, and walked away empty handed! For some strange reason the sales person wasn't that happy to see us at the register...hhmmm, well, bah humbug to her too.....

Oh, I made up a new word - gourdament. I found the cutest ornaments (at one of the fabulous craft shows I went to) made from gourds. They are gourd ornaments...so...gourdaments! I know, I'm brilliant.

Christmas was nice. I got the movie Mama Mia so I have been busy learning all the never annoying no matter how loud and off key you sing songs. The kids L O V E it! hee,hee,hee Just ask anybody - DISCO RULES!!!!!!!!!! I'm working on trying to learn some of the dance moves too. Soon I will be able to sing and dance with the movie...watch out Meryl Streep.

I'm jealous that Oregon had a white Christmas this year. We had a windy Christmas. Yeah, that doesn't really fit, they don't have classic Christmas songs where people dream of a windy Christmas.

Okay, late night A.D.D. is kicking in and my toe hurts so I'm gonna go.

I'll make my exit to song...yeah, never mind, it doesn't translate through typing...
