Avast All yee Land Lubbers!

Well, some body has to post here still.  So I will.  Ta Da!

Now then, if you follow the Twitter you will know that Stella and I were out in Cruces yesterday (which happens to be the second largest city in New Mexico [Albuquerque being one and Santa Fe being 3]).  We ran some errands and all, stopped by Best Buy, which turned out to have Cool Runnings for 5 bucks, so now we own that.  Plus Stella got to gaze upon Macbooks.  Then we went over to Hobby Lobby which is like Micheals.  There was much stuffs to look at and all, and Stella really enjoyed it.  The we went up and strolled through the mall.  The Chick-fil-a peppermint chocolate chip milkshakes are pretty darned good.  And it happens to be the location of the closest Barnes and Noble to me.  

Speaking of Barnes and Noble, we got books!  We got a collection of 7 HG Wells books, the antique looking collection of all the Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy Books, The Brothers Karamov (I think thats the spelling) and a soup cook book.  Yes, that is how cool we are, I know you are all jealous.  

Anyhow, after that we went over to Bed Bath and Beyond, cause we still had a gift card from the wedding.  So now we have some more thanksgiving towels and a nice Christmas tablecloth and matching napkins.  Plus we have some napkin rings, so things can look all nice when we have peoples over.  Then there was a trip to Target.  We got more curtians and a Christmas rubbermade for the storage of Christmas items.  Yay!  

We got back into town and had to head over to St. Jude's for the St. Martin's Day celebration with the Germans.  There was singing (in German) and then a procession and of course a bon fire.  Now, I am sad to say that there were no sugared pretzels.  However we did have gluehwien and I had a bockwurst.  And now Stella likes gluehwien.  

And finally we came home and lit a fire and got pizza.  It is really cool to have a fire place out here.  I suppose mom will have to come out and visit again so she can see the new house and meet the puppy.  But I think that is all the posting for today, for we must make a run to the commissary and then Stella has craft day with the CWOC and I must do some houseworks.  There will be cleaning afoot!
