Aww, my cute little blog is growing up! Tidbit Tuesday number SIX is here!
For starters, have you noticed how many shows are now on TV about midgets/dwarfs? Love them all… But I’m just sayin’. There’s The Little Couple, Little People, Big World, Little Parents, First Baby, and now.. Get this: Little Chocolatiers – a show about dwarves who run a chocolate factory! Umm.. awesome?!
My “w” key has had a hard time orking lately. So if I scre up my typing, oh ell.
Oh, how about some fun blog reader involvement? Here’s the thing.. I want a dog! Well, I mean. Not right now. (Well, yes right now.) But really, for after Dylan and I get married. And since Dylan refuses to have a son named Sullivan, I will be naming this dog, well.. Sullivan. But I don’t know what dog to get! Anybody have a favorite breed?
There are two things Dylan likes to make fun of me for pretty consistently. (1) The way I meticulously clean my plate when eating as if I’ve never seen food before in my life. (Hey.. What if I just like food??) And (2) the way I get obnoxious(ly loud) hiccups multiple times per day. But I’ve done my research, and have connected the two! You see, not only do I clean my plate, but I scarf down food like you wouldn’t believe. And apparently, eating fast pretty much makes hiccups inevitable. Interesting, no? I thought so.
So, I’m starting to really, really, reeeally understand why people pay other people to design and build websites for them. I’m just finishing up my last few projects for my web design class, and I am SO ready to free my mind of all things html, css, and javascript-related. <p>Ugh.</p>
OH. So, we got our wedding venue booked! Finally.. We’ve been running a tad bit behind! But it feels soo good. :) The Beekman Mansion, located literally a 1/4-mile from my house, is right on Rt. 10, and is a NYS historical landmark, as it was once part of the underground railroad. Totally awesome, right?! My uncle’s contracting company renovated the entire building about a decade back, and since first seeing it, I’ve always wanted my wedding there! Can you say nailed it?! Visit: Beekman1802.com to check it out!!
And you know what I’m finally starting to realize? This will be my last Christmas at home. Craaazy. No more sleeping in the same full-sized bed with my brother and sister on Christmas Eve. (More like causing a ruckus laughing and singing and being plain ridiculous until mom and dad yell at us from their room to shut up or they’ll separate us… Yes I know how old I am..) No more singing along with The Muppet’s Christmas Carol. No more of a lot of things. But there’re also so many new, awesome, fun things to look forward to! Like waking up next Christmas morning as Mrs. Alyse Morrissey. :)
So yesterday, my best friend and I went to our old high school for a little visit. We hadn’t been back in two whole years, so it was about time. We were glad to be able to spend some time with a few of our old teachers. But first, we had to sneak past a very old man on a power trip who told us visiting during classes wasn’t allowed although we’ve done it seven times before. That was an adventure. We also pretended to be student teachers to a group of 7th graders and gave them a pop quiz on a book we haven’t read. Meaning.. questions that didn’t apply whatsoever to the book. They were freaking out until we told them the bonus question was, “How do you spell G-U-L-L-I-B-L-E. Oh, and p.s., the legit teacher put us up to this, I swear. That’s how awesome my old school is.
Sometimes I feel like I’m a very lame story-teller. Last story = Case. in. point.
Alright, I should get cracking on my web design, and maybe make some sugar spritz cookies!! We’ll see which comes first..
Until next time, I will leave you with some goodies from this past weekend. Hold onto your seats folks, this picture is going to rock your world! My brother Cameron made this banana dog the other day. Yup, that’s right, always focus on the eye, even if it’s a banana.. With eyes..
This past Sunday, my extended family got together for our annual Christmas party. Among other, cooler things, I decorated this cookie!!
My mom jokingly decorated this cookie for my dad. But then, when he didn’t want it, she was forced to eat it herself. Hahaha. :)
And I’d like to top it off with some similar deliciousness. This is my momma and my baby cousin Logan. Those cheeeeeks!
Happy Tuesday, ya’ll!!
Laurette - I suggest you get a cavalier king charles as your dog ! I am crazy about them, I’ll put a photo on your facebook page !
Stephanie Pillsbury - The Beekman Mansion is an awesome choice:) It’s so simple yet elegant!!
I love my yellow lab, Oscar, though he is very stubborn (and I mean very!). I also have a German Shepherd. He’s a nice dog, too, but you have to be careful about temperment with them (Toby isnt very kid friendly and/or stranger friendly). But if you find a very good breeder who is very careful about the temperment I suggest one of those. They are beautiful animals.
jessica guzman - so a few things…german shepards (according to Gabe) are the only “puppy” worth having…for me…well, a vizla…such a beautiful dog…kind of like a golden weinereimer…spelling?…anyhoohoo, i say get one of those..or a lab or bassette..hehe..they crack me up as puppies! also..yay for Sullivan! I wanted to name our first born son, Simcha….but Gabe wouldn’t have it..so hence that is our cat’s name…it’s perfect;) hehe…well, tidbit tuesday! may you grow and continue…for i quite enjoy you:)
Nina - hahahahaha I love your mothers cookie :P
Kate - so for starters, tidbit tuesday makes me smile. It always brightens my work-filled tuesdays. Although after reading it, a get a slight ‘the day after your birthday’ feeling because i have to wait a whole week before a new one comes out. haha. :) . and a miniature dachshund is by far the custest dog ever. plus, sullivan seems very suitable for such a dog. and the place where you booked your wedding (no, i cannot remember the name even though i read it three minutes ago, :P) sounds beautiful. I love history and it sounds pretty historical.. so i bet it’s going to be beautiful. oh and the banana dog is fantasticly hilarious. great stuff. Have a merry christmas alyse! hopefully you’ll find time to hit up the light of the world sometime. byee
Colette - I love that banana dog! Good job Cam! Alyse your a great story teller … it was so funny about all that you did at the school.
I am so looking forward to your wedding day, I know I will cry alot… silly me.
