Updates and such

[cinagel]

Okay, screwed up my foot in the stupidest way imaginable the other night.
...I got it caught in the couch.
Don't ask.
So I got me a mean looking gash on the side of my right foot. SORE!...but hilarious. Has my husband been laughing at me? Oh yes...yes indeed.

Hoping to take and post pictures of Chateau de Nom Nom all decked out for Christmas. Its not much but we have a mondo tree, lights out front, and stockings on an ACTUAL FIRE PLACE! Love this whoe house business. Soon we will have furnature that doesn't fold. This fills me with MUCH glee. Lot of pictures I want to take! especially of the front yard. The clover I planted in the front yard is starting to come in. Not sure about the wild flowers yet but I'm sure the rain helped. I still need to eventually mow the lawn and trim my snap dragons. the herb garden is doing better than we expected. Our Basil is bountiful! And the Marjoram that Stacy bought us this summer is thriving! We also have Camomile that I plan to pick and dry in an attempt to make my own tea...we'll see how well that goes over.;D

Saw Princess and the Frog last weekend and absolutely loved it. It was nice to see a return to 2D. And while I'm not a huge fan of Randy Newman's music (his songs always sounds alike to me) his score for this was pretty fantastic. And I have a new Disney villan crush. Me likey Dr Falicer! Of course most of this could be chalked up to the fact that Keith David does his voice and I've been a Keith fangirl for most of my adult life. Still, LOVE that villian. He give Hades a run for his money...Mostly beause he had a kick ass musical number...If Phill LaMarr ends up doing a voice for a Disney villian someday I am done for.
I'm a romantic at heart so this movie got me hard in the gut. It didn't destroy me emotionally like UP did but it gave me lots of warm fuzzies.
I highly recomend this film!

Getting geared up for my trip home. Gifts are mostly bought, still need to clean the house before I go and call the vet for Scout. We noticed she'd been licking a bald spot into her hind quarters and I want to get it checked out. We think it might be anxiety since the move was a little crazy but it could be worms. No chance taking with my baby girl. Getting her an appointment asap.
The museum Christmas party is this week so Max and I will be peering in for it. Looks like it will be a pretty casual laid back affair. The cool thing is since its in our Down Town location this year we can take the Trolly instead of trying to fight for parking. Part of me wants to wander a bit down town to take photos of the Christmas lights..or at least take photos of the Star of India all decked out for the holidays. We'll see.
And this Saturday is the Iron Maiden yule party. I'm hoping to maybe bake something for this. Once again all a matter of time lately. Looking forward to seeing the household all together again. Much fun we have!
Okay, Going to end this long winded entry. Hopefully I'll have exciting things to show next time, like photos and junk.
WHEEE

*snicker* sorry... that opening bit was just.. cintastic ;D hope it feels better soon!

You should have witnessed it. ;D

Wow. This is actually going around this year. My friend Laurel stubbed her toe and nearly broke it. lberghol did kinda the same thing recently, ...and I tripped and kicked my kitchen chair a week or so ago and probably fractured my toe/foot. I have no toenail and I gimp. No pedicures for me this xmas! LoL.


Maybe I should buy everyone slippers for Christmas!

[cinsangel.livejournal.com]

*L* I'm thinking Slippers are a good idea.
I can't believe I got my foot caught in the friggin couch!

You know. One of these days (hopefully very very far into the future), you're going to die by your own clumsiness. And that act of clumsiness will be SO spectacular that at your funeral all of us are going to be both heart broken and trying desperately not to snicker through the entire ceremony.

"Here lies Cindy. Clumsy to the end."

I do really really like Shadow Man but I feel like he wasn't exactly the most developed Villain? I mean I know who he is and what he wanted to do but he got so little screen time I felt like I don't really know him at all. That being said I LOVED his shadow minions. Well the Loa's shadow minions that they loaned him. I totally want Shadow Minions! Can I get some for Christmas, pleeeease?

HA HA HA :P

Aww see I LOVED the Shadow Man simply because he was scary and mysterious. He had great minons and an awesome musical number. I wouldn't put him on the scary like Judge Frolo, Scar, or Malificent list. He's more along the lines of Hades, Ezma, and other lighter villans. But he worked well for the feel of the movie and frankly, he got MAJOR villian points when he stepped on one of the most beloved comic relief characters without any remorse.

...And I'll see if I can get you Shadow Minions. I'm a Catholic but Max is Pagan so maybe he can work something out.

True true. This was a matter of expectation. I wanted a new Scar or Malificent. Shadow Man isn't that but I was kinda hoping. He is cool in his own right though, I agree.

Funny how a Disney movie can make stepping on a bug an act of pure and intolerable evil.

Yeah, the family and I are planning on doing the same here in Charlotte. Riding the LYNX uptown and watching the Christmas lights.

[cinsangel.livejournal.com]

*L* Not sure if we'll have time to see the lights but Dangit, I wanna!

[me-262.livejournal.com]

Can't wait to see house pictures. One of my favorite things about this time of year is seeing lights on houses.

[cinsangel.livejournal.com]

OMG! Our new neighborhood has houses with lights GLAORE! Its rocks! I used to live in a small apartment complex so I was deprived of lights for seven years. We're kinda the lesser display house since we just have our little icicle lights up, but its enough for me!
