If you read this post yesterday (in order for this week to make sense, un-"mark all as read" and read it. P.S. Thanks), then you should know this week is going to be a "Getting to Know Me" week. I've challenged you to each write a similar post and let me know about it so I can put together something with all the links...If you already said "yes," you're the best thing since slap bracelets.
Later today, I'll have a post that recalls one of my favorite high school stories. It involves hijinx, a car chase and mayhem. No, seriously. Tuesday, Southern Belle has something special for us, as she asks me some intimate questions, which I will blame on the liberal "gotcha" media. I hope she doesn't ask me about Russia or what newspapers I read. Later this week, there's some other good stuff cooking, and I'm not just talking turkey.
All I can say is there will be an "appearance" by a certain famous rapper, and an awards presentation...
On to the Weekend Update. This time, the Update is mostly visual, as Capricorn and I celebrated our faux-holiday, Feliz Navidad 2008, on Friday. Really, it was an excuse to drink margaritas at noon, trim my Christmas tree well before Thanksgiving and eat Mexican food. Jealous?
First, a few mostly context-free things I heard/saw/experienced this weekend:
- New Kids on the Block on the American Music Awards: I appreciated their singing of "Right Stuff." But I still have a hard time listening to them sing about hooking up at a club. Is that before or after they tuck their babies in for the night?
- Murder Mystery Dinner: Props to the people at my church for putting on an excellent program- my group solved the mystery, too. Murder mysteries should be done every weekend. I even know some people I'd like to have murdered.
- An empty table: At a busy restaurant on Saturday, Capricorn, myself and two friends stood beside an empty table for 30 minutes. Wouldn't you know it, that's the table they sat us at. Am I missing something here?
- The Office: I'm catching Capricorn up on this show; we're in the midst of Season 2. We just watched the episode when Michael grills his foot. I, too, like the smell of freshly cooked bacon in the morning.
-----------------
* Update on the Update: I would be remiss if I didn't tell you guys that, along with Feliz Navidad 2008, Capricorn and I also had our two-month anniversary this weekend. It seems like just yesterday I was at PetSmart with her.

You're risking eternal Christmas bad luck Andy - bad luck i tells ya!
However, you drink enough margaritas and eat enough enchiladas and you probably wont care...
MY get to know me post should be appearing later on this morning...
I love the idea of a fake holiday. I think I'll borrow it!
My friends and I have invented a holiday called Effenmilliejew Day. It is October 5. This past year was our third year...I wish you many many fun years of faux holiday fun!
Very cute, but as a Cuban I should tell you a real Feliz Navidad would totally consist of a huge roasted pork, yumm!
Mmmm....enchiladas, margaritas and Chihuahuas. 3 of my favorite things. (I don't eat the Chihuahua's though.) But it seems we should be from Mexico or something... :)
Dammit, it's British Invasion Week on my blog! I do have an old Proust Questionnaire you can use, though...

Yeah, this pretty much sums 'er up. Also, I feel like the New Kids tuck the babies in first and then hook up with girls like me. I mean, umm, yeah. Cough.
Oh. My. God. The verification word is "buggr". I'm losing it, here!
I need some enchiladas right now.
Amy- I'm hoping I can ward off the evil Scrooge spirits and still have a Merry Christmas
Sheila- Thanks for joining!
Herding Kittens- I fully encourage everyone to do likewise. It makes everything more exciting when you're celebrating a "holiday."
Cadence- I won't even try to guess what you do on that holiday. But I like it.
Jossie- I don't think Capricorn likes pork. However, next year we might eat some anyway, to be official.
Kellie- Yeah, and your blond hair has me thinking you're not Mexican, but it's fun to pretend.
Aine- Is Donnie Wahlberg as big of a stud in the bed as he makes himself out to be?
Lump- Don't we all...
Awww, it seems like a lovely fake holiday.
¡FELIZ!
Sounds like you had a great fake holiday. Also the Murder Mystery Dinner thing sounds like something fun. I too know a few people I would like to have murdered. LOL.
I love the way you were able to lay out the pics with the captions at the bottom.
I also believe that the only way to catch-up on ANY series is to watch it from the very 1st season.
I make ALL of my friends do that. I never mind watching all of the episodes again!
The Office!! I LOVE the Office....Now, I'm gonna HAVE to learn more about you :)(mmm, as Rambler looks at camera and shrugs shoulders...I heart Jim)
