Hey, Whot Hoppened?

Let no pleasure tempt thee, no profit allure thee, no ambition corrupt thee, to do anything which thou knowest to be evil; so shalt thou always live jollily; for a good conscience is a continual Christmas. - Benjamin Franklin
I was driving to work and was suddenly was reminded of this quote and I don't know why. While I was contemplating why... three huge freakin' house cats ran out in the road, blocking both lanes of traffic and froze in my headlights. I had no where to turn but hit one. And I smack the crap out of it. I poor cat took a chip out of my front fender, shattered my undercarriage, took out the passenger side lights, hit my oil pan causing a leak, and who knows what else for sure. All in all, there went my Christmas bonus check. So now I need my car fixed by Friday, or there will be no proposal going on. I am hoping that nothing else is wrong. I'm just waiting to find out for sure.
My darling Andrea (or Princess Aurora), absolutely loved meeting all the family on my mom's side this past weekend. She doesn't have family like us, so having lots of cousins that are fun to be around and bond with was a special experience for her. Her pedicure looks great, as did all of the others that went. (And YES Nanna, your manicure was pretty too!) I think everyone that was involved with Friday nights game of "What If" created a memory that will last forever. KK, you totally missed out of spending some quality time with JAM and JU!
I am looking forward to spending our family Christmas this weekend at MK. It will be interesting having it like two weeks early...we've never done this.
More to the point of this weekend, Andrea and I are going to be putting our names in at all the apartments Kimbo tells us to. We are looking for guidance in this area with our move to the SD area next year so Andrea can finish school, and I hopefully start my Masters or an actual career. I guess we'll find out where I go soon.
