Ninja Ginger (3/365)

~*~

One of my co-workers posted on Facebook that she had spent the weekend making Ninja Gingerbread Men.

Another of my co-workers bragged on Facebook about how she secured on of said Ninja Gingerbread Men.

Well, I might be naive at times, but even I figured out that this was prime breeding grounds for a guilt trip.

Which secured me this Ninja Gingerbread Man!

He sat on my desk for a week.

Then I bit his head off.

Monday's Child (2/365)

~*~

Today was our Secret Santa exchange at work.

We each list three gift ideas within a $15 budget, then draw names.

I got to give a collector's edition of The Hobbit (found a great deal on Amazon).

And I received all THREE of the items I listed - a 2-quart pitcher, a Pyrex 2-cup measuring cup, and a silicone oven mitt.

SCORE!!

You just never know when you are going to get behind a banana split.

We drove south to visit Chicago Premium Outlets today. We got to follow an ice cream truck from Colonial Cafe (home of the Kitchen Sink).

It was a weird mix of emotions. One day, your best friend could be killed. The day before, you could be celebrating him getting a brand-new bike.

Five (40/366)

One and one is two, and two and two is four, and five will get you ten if you know how to work it.
~ Mae West

With the extremely mild winter we've had this year, the wildlife has been very active when they normally are bedded down for the winter. 

These five were crossing the road as I was leaving work.

Men think highly of those who rise rapidly in the world; whereas nothing rises quicker than dust, straw, and feathers.
