Hmm, mojitonog, has possibilities: Random Tuesday Thoughts
Tuesday, December 28, 2010 at 2:00AM
I’m back! Back! Also, on holidays. Brain…turning to sweet, sweet mush.
I put up a blog post yesterday about my inlaws and then felt guilty and took it down (it’s probably in your reader though). Christmas wasn’t THAT bad. The following conversation, however, absolutely canNOT go unrecorded:
FIL (inspecting a bottle of Purple Cowboy wine that had been given to me): I’ve never heard of this wine.
Me: That’s what Brother-In-Law got me for Christmas! Cool, huh?
FIL: Well, I guess that’s what you buy for alcoholics.
Me: …..
…...I need a drink.
(I’m opting to believe that he was trying to be funny.)
I went for a bra fitting today, having never had one and having been hiking my bras up off my belly button for quite some time now. I am…not even REMOTELY close to the size I thought I was (cup sizes go up to what now?!!), and I spent over a hundred dollars on one bra.
But my rack looks great.
(First person to ask for pics gets a slap upside the head with a tuna.)
Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater…in gingerbread.
I’m drinking nog out of my mojito mixing glass. My seasonal beverages of choice are at odds.
One of my Xmas gifts:
It’s a cookie jar. The best cookie jar EVER. Since it can also be used as a distraction during the Zombie Apocalypse.
In addition to the wine and the receptacle for baked goods, I also got a Tassimo (which rocks). Yes, all of my gifts had something to do with food and beverages. I’m either really hard to buy for, or I look like I’m wasting away.
We’ll go with that.
What’d YOU get? C’mon, spill it!
(But…clean it up afterwards.)

woaw. that cookie jar is quite impressive ahuh! ahuh! ahuh!
sorry if i had to do it twice.. I got the wrong url.. I post the url of my last tuesday random... oh so sorryy!!
I can relate to your conversation with your FIL. We went to family's house the day after thanksgiving for dinner, and my brother-in-law's mom called my husband & me alcoholics because we had two drinks.... UGH! I work in the alcohol industry, so every day last week I came home with bottle after bottle of something... By Friday, my dining room table looked like a bar.
I have a Tassimo and it's super duper cool. I rarely ever drank coffe until I received one. Now it's at least one cup a day. Lovin' the unique cookie jar.
Yes that is an impressive cookie jar..and that wine?? Well you will have to let us know what it tastes like?
I am all over a Mojito/nog!!! I will have to try that? After I have had several Mojitos that is!! Ha!
Happy New Year!

I got a Dooney Doodle. I'll explain later..
The convo with your FIL sounds like a convo with my dad... :) Is there something you haven't told us? I would have assumed your BIL got you that wine because you're a rodeo queen or something... :)
Hubby wants to know if eating cookies from that (awesome) cookie jar will make you smarter? ;)
That cookie jar is THE coolest thing I've ever seen. Plus, you're right, it would make a great distraction against zombies.
I wondered what happened to that post. Sounds like you got some awesome stuff. Sweet. That is quite the cookie jar! You're right, it will be very handy during the Zombie Apocalypse.
I was shocked when I went and got a bra that actually fit... I hoped that everyone was secretly eyeing my chest and thinking about how great it looked, then I had a baby and that all went out the window. Maybe someday again, they will look so good.
Love the cookie jar!!
FIL is missing that filter that keeps insults inside his head, huh?
haha i wouldnt worry about that post about your inlaws- we all have family like that. except in my case its MY parents who are the ones you can only handle with no mind altering chemicals for short periods of time. my in laws just so happen to be fantastic! and that cookie jar is awesome. I just want a cookie jar that says cookie instead of biscuit. stupid ireland.
Happy RTT!!! I love that GB house. That's amazing work. I don't have the patience for that. I'm just trying to keep my boys from eating all the one we have here. Even sick they want to eat everything all at once but not the turkey... ugh!
I had a great Bra I bought pre Christmas I loved it, it gave the girls everything they've been looking for a place to call their own that didn't compete with my Belly Button for space. After Mass they fell into the old home town. ugh!
Glad I'm not the only one who got called an alcoholic at a family Christmas gathering.
That is the best cookie jar ever! Not sure if I would have been offended by FIL's comment or not, but I understand the need to drink.
That cookie jar is epic and beats the shit out of pretty much everything in my kitchen.
We are a family who enjoy our spirits . . . you'd be in good company with us!
My brother and his wife just got back from New Orleans and came home with some delicious concoction called a Hand Grinade . . . I couldn't guess what the mystery ingredient was . . . grain alcohol. It came with special glasses and little grinades to float in the drink. So cute! Yeah . . . it was a festive Christmas!!
On Christmas Eve, we went to my cousin's party . . . it was straight up rum and coke. They were roasting a pig and started drinking at 6 in the morning. We were still at it at midnight . . . ohhhh what a weekend!!
A fun time was had by all . . . it is awesome to have such a cool family!
I found my reader. I think you did VERY well. Inlaws are part of the Madagascar Penquin tactic "smile and wave boys, smile and wave..." :0
100 bucks huh? Does it do something else too? I got my wife a new fancy pocketbook and I got some new running gear from lululemon.
That is the best cookie jar EVER! Green with jealousy over here!
OMG I am random today!!!
You know you are going to show me that bra at Opryland.
[I am so proud of that sentence I just got to type.]
I'm back.... gonna visit some tuesday randoms...
That is the most awesome cookie jar ever!! LOVE IT!
I totally got spoiled with all kitchen stuff for the holidays! Well, mostly. Hee.
I got brains for Christmas! No. I got chocolate, and that's obviously better.
Happy RTT
