BritChick's 2005 Contest Prep

[PreMier]

Taryn's birthday was on Friday and for her birthday we got her an electronic dance thingy, it plugs directly into the TV and there is a mat that you stand on for two players, you have a choice of techno dance tracks to pick from and it displays arrows as dance steps, the more steps you get correct the higher points you get... it's pretty cool and allows me to look like a total moron trying to keep up with it, the steps are pretty fast... okay, I SUCK... but it seems to amuse my kids when I try it! lol

aaaahahahahahahahahaha.. Me and P were watching some kid at the Luxor do that.. we were laughing our asses off

Yeah, but Jake you were probably laughing at a kid who could do it and it still looked stupid! lol
Okay, it's official I want to hunt Shania Twain down with a gun and kill her! Taryn got two cd's from friends for her birthday, Shania and Hillary Duff, she's stuck on Shania I'm sure Hillary is just as hateful... I already know all the words and we've listened to it continuously whilst baking today... ugh! lol Okay, cheese straws, rum balls and shortbread done... time to get back at it, English toffee and chocolate, peanut butter ice cream pie next up.

Yummy. I love to bake. So far I've done choc. chip cookies, PB bars, Snickers cookies, PB Snickers cake, choc. cream cake, oatmeal raisin cookies, pumpkin spice bread, gingerbread cookies, sugar cookies, and Nutella Toffee cake with a lil Bailey's. Next up are banana nut bread, my famous rum cake, and possibly an orange or vanilla cake.

 

[PreMier]

You both cook like this and keep abs!?

 

[PreMier]

I HATE to bake! Can I send you my baking list next year and have you ship the goodies to me? I seriously don't like baking but it's the time of year for it and there was a certain element of fun in doing it with the kids... I am just glad I am done now.

Oh you can be sure if I am baking it then I will be eating it too and padding my ass nicely!

 

[Velvet]

I hate you.

Me too

 

[BritChick]

I hate you.

Hey now... none of that! Hating is not permitted in my journal, especially at Christmas.

Nice to see you Steve... you seem to be around less and less these days, have you started partying for the season yet?

 

[BritChick]

We had our first Xmas party ... it was ok. We did the chinese gift exchange. We invited several people from different friend groups. The fun in the exchange is being able to take another's gift - you're supposed to laugh - joke - have fun. Only two people did that because they seemed very timid with others they didn't know. Then ............ ggggggggggrrrrrrrrrr, one of the couple brought their children. Their oldest (12) put his face to the Playstation and didn't do anything but. He never let our daughter play. Strike one. Their youngest daughter sat on our glass coffee table (almost breaking it once) and the parents never said anything to her - I had to. Strike two. Their youngest son (about 8) ran in the house with the dog chasing him. Each time he would cry because she was chasing him. I explained she was doing that because she thought he was playing. If he didn't run, she wouldn't bark and jump. He kept it up and the parents never said anything. Stirke 3 and you're kids are outta there.

We have the families over for xmas dinner. Then, the New Years/Bday will be a GREAT time.

I don't get why people take their kids to parties unless it's expressly known that they are wanted there... hell sometimes even then I leave mine at home! It's the parents though who are the real pain in the ass, it's like they figure it's a party so they are off duty!

Hope the rest of your festivities are a little easier.

It was a family gathering, just didn't understand the lack of parenting, that's all. If they behaved like Jacquelyn's friend who came, then it would have been ok. But when you let them behave like that outside of your house, I just don't understand. On the bright side, it won't happen again.

The only one I'm looking forward to is New Years. It's a great time to party and it's the sign that the Xmas decorations can come down and it's over.

Bah! Humbug!!!

Do you think the kids behave any differently when they are at home, maybe they are just sucky parents! lol

 

[Velvet]

Okay, if you kiss then you can hate a little! lol

Jealousy is a wicked thing You deserve those abs girl..i'm gonna get me some as soon as all this holiday crap is done...now i'm starting to sound like Steve! Ba humbug!

Yup, that would be my theory too!

I think that's just how they were raised. If I went to their house, I'm sure they'd have the run of it.

How could anyone raise children with anything but an iron fist?

We have friends who have four kids, the oldest 3 are awesome kids, the youngest is a whiney little puke, I seriously can't stand him, he is spoilt rotten and neither parent will ever say 'no' to him, he's the same age as my son and I swear even at nearly 10 every time we do see him he has a tantrum about something and usually ends up in tears... he's the kind of kid that makes you wish the schools would bring back corpral punishment!
