Its been a while....

I know, I know...its been FOREVER since I've blogged but my life has been a little hectic. First and foremost, I GOT A NEW JOB! Thats right ladies and gentlemen, Jennifer Kinard is no longer driving over 1,000 miles a week...woo-hoo. I'm working for the Wilmington Sharks. They are a collegiate baseball team here in town and I'm working as an account executive. I basically solicite (by the way, I hate that word) businesses to advertise for the baseball season. Whether its advertising on a wall sign, being a game sponsor, passing out giveaways and so forth. You get the picture. I'm the only girl working in the office for now and thats been nice. I'm just happy that I'm not by myself all day long, which is nice. I think I'm going to enjoy working with this team and I hope great things will arise.

Secondly, Brian and I have been house hunting for the past month. I believe that we are going to make an offer on a house that we looked at today. It's A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E! I'll keep you posted on that. Hopefully, everything will work out.

(isn't it cute?!!)

On a different note, I would like to thank Carole, Brian's sister, "thank you" for the delicious King Cake. This is her second year sending us one for Mardi Gras. Let me tell you, this cake is so yummy! Its super sweet and so full of fat and calories, but hey, you only eat it once a year. I will carry it to work tomorrow to share with my fellow employees. Brian doesn't eat the thing and it would be bad news if I ate the whole thing by myself. Believe me, I can do it. I did last year!

Emerald Isle

When I was working in Emerald Isle, I drove to a public beach access to see how there beach compared to Wrightsville Beach. Well, the beach isn't as wide but the water is a little bluer. The one thing that impressed me and I thought was absolutely amazing were the shrimp boats. There were probably about 8 boats not far from the shore fishing. I took some pictures because I figured I would probably not see anything like this again. I wanted to share a few pics with you.

Scenic Pics...

Here are some pics that I took from little towns that have been close to where I've been working.

Childhood memories...

On Yahoo's home page, they had a list of shows that will be airing in the next few days and I cannot wait. I actually have these on DVD, but I love watching them on regular cable network. They certainly bring back memories from when I was a little girl. I have to say, my all time favorite is Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. I don't know what it is about it, but I love it so. I just remember getting so excited when it came on TV, and it usually came on right before Christmas and it seemed like it only came on once. Its a definite classic. I wonder if kids today enjoy it as much as I did. Here's a list of Christmas classics that I loved watching.

1. Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer

2. Frosty the Snowman

3. How the Grinch Stole Christmas

4. Santa Claus is Coming to Town

5. Twas' the Night Before Christmas

6. Charlie Brown Christmas

7. Yogi Bear's First Christmas

8. A Very Smurfy Christmas

9. A Christmas Story

10. The Year Without Santa Claus

11. Mickey's Christmas Carol

Getting in the spirit.

Tonight I decided I would bake some Christmas cookies to get myself in the Christmas spirit. I know your probably like, Jennifer, you have all your decorations up and your not in the spirit? I'm telling you, this weather is throwing me all off. Plus, today is December 1 so I still have some time. I did enjoy baking and decorating the cookies....although, they are a little messy looking. I only decorated a few and just iced the rest. I don't have the patience to do tidies work when all your going to do is eat them. Plus, God did not give the gift of being an artist. I stink at decorating, especially cookies and cakes. At least I can say I tried. I'm just happy they taste good.
