i'm bossy like santa, he's obedient like an elf

said by me from my billing laptop in the next room,"and after you're done stuffing all our christmas cards into envelopes and printing out the newsletters and stuffing those too.... could you take some pictures of our christmas decor??"

said by him as he's feverishly folding newsletters and stuffing them with christmas cards into envelopes that he printed with christmas return address labels, "yeah, sure."

and then by me again, giving orders like a bossy santa, "and the christmas cookies we made tonight too!" (i could have at least tried to sound jolly or made my baby bump shake like a bowl full of jelly)

said by the kind christmas elf, "yep." he's good to me (he even added a christmas border to each photo, nice touch t-rob):
Mini Tree
Nesting Dolls
Santas
Sugar Cookies
Crystal Nativity
Christmas Deco
it's looking pretty merry and bright around here mom and dad- you better hurry over!

(oh yeah, and those cookies are my mom's awesome recipe... and speaking of awesome recipes... you know what day tomorrow is? the deadline- by midnight hawaii time folks! need a reminder of the guidelines? ok, get those recipes to me. we have a pretty great collection so far. this is gonna be awesome!)

That's almost exactly the conversation I just had with Chrissy! I just got a honey-do list this afternoon.

UGH was my response.

Your husband is better trained.

Good for you!

hey liko and sheila- it is like this little glass cube with the nativity etched into it with lasers... sounds like science fiction but it's the best way to describe it that i can think of :0
