Merry Christmas!

Chris: I told you we should have come earlier. I can't see anything because of this cow.

D.J. : Hmmm...You think the concession manger is still open?


O yeah, you wanted to take a right at Albuquerque.

Sheep Theorist at Work

I know you miss the sheep postings. But this time of year sheep have to be doing their job. And ours is to help the humans in their breakdowns. And the Holidays and Finals Week just poop us out. So much drama!


sorry we have to work overtime this time of year

We got a visitor!!!

We got a visitor! She took us all over Atlanta playing tourist. First, we needed to fill up with a good breakfast.

We need forks too please!!!

Before we got to Atlanta we stopped at the touristy place in Peachtree City. Peachtree Lake was in Sweet Home Alabama and is a great place to sunbath!

Erin, come rub lotion on my belly.

We got into the car and drove to Atlanta. It was really crowded because there was a big football game on. And then we ran into a parade. It was the Atlanta Christmas Parade. It was lots of fun. Good thing we wore our warm hats while standing outside.

Wha'cha looking at?

Ok enough parade, we are on a mission. We wanted to see the New World of Coca Cola.

You see us? We are so small with this sign.

Hehe, inside the Coke place we snuck past the "do not pass bar" to get closer to the exhibit. What? We are small, we need to be close to see.

Shhhh...don't tell anyone we broke the rules.

It was lots of fun at the New World of Coke but we enjoyed the cool beverages at the end best. All except the Beverly. That one is gross!

Cheers!

Okay, now for the CNN tour. We got our tickets and are standing in line. But the rest is a secret. Shh!!! No pictures in the studio please.

Let us in!!

We would be great news reporters. Don't you think?

Coming to you from outside CNN Atlanta.

Ok then we went home and watched movies. It was a great day. We like visitors. They like us...we hope.

Bamboo.

Preston got himself a new tablet for his computer.  It lets you draw things just as though it were a pen and paper.  When he went to class today I played with it and drew what is probably the best piece of art ever created.

Happy St. Nick Day!!!

So today is Saint Nicholas Day. You know what that means!? Ya, I didn't either until Erin told me. But then I was really excited. First you put your shoe out. We sheep don't wear shoes so we put all of Erin's out just for good measure. Then St. Nick comes and puts treats in our shoes. I wish we lived with Imelda Marcos. Erin doesn't have a ton of shoes. Then we woke up but didn't know which shoe had the treats in it. So we dove in. DJ got stuck in a bar boot. Must have thought that the bigger the shoe the bigger the treat. I thought I could sniff the treats out but then caught a whiff of Erin's gym shoes. She is so getting oder eaters for Christmas. But Chris won. Chris found a treat first.

I don't feel so well.

Give Thanks

Ok, so I know Thanksgiving was almost two weeks ago, but I was just so traumatized by the experience, I’m just feeling up to writing about it now.
Many of you may know I live with Beth, what probably has not been mentioned is that we also live with her roommate, her roommate’s boyfriend (he doesn’t ACTUALLY live here, but might as well) and their delightful cat, Haley. Ok, actually the cat was fairly nice when we both moved in, calm, cute, would sometimes even come cuddle with me on Beth’s chair when she wasn’t there. Now that Haley is older, she meows loudly and wakes me up every day at 6:50 am AND shreds every stack of paper or cardboard she can find and makes a mess all over the living room that I get blamed for! I realize some of the flock is mischievous, but honestly, what would I be making paper confetti for and what use would it be all over the floor? Ugg, anyway. Beth was going back home for a whole week for Thanksgiving. She said I could stay here or go home with her. Since I didn’t want to be on my own with that darn cat all week, I decided to go with Beth - little did I know then the terror that awaited.
Beth’s house was fine, lots more room than the apartment to roam around or hang out and take a nap or watch TV; anything a sheep like myself might like to do. It was perfect, except for…Euclid. I didn’t think it was possible, but Beth’s dad’s dog is even WORSE than Haley. To his credit, he did have the decency to wait until 7:00 am to bark incessantly and wake me up, but he continued the whole entire day. All day, every day, for an entire week! It’s more than this poor kid can handle. As Elliot would say, “Oy vey!”

Presents galore

We went to Erin's home town for Thanksgiving. It was fun. But we decided to make holiday gifts for all the sheep. We wanted to send the one that went the farthest first. Hope you like it Marty and Jeremy! We wrapped it really well because it was going really far. Erin said it was going to drive the post man crazy.

We are great sheep wrappers!
(Names and addresses were smeared to protect the crazies.)

Unfortunately, the Post Office is not open on Thanksgiving so Erin said we would have to wait a day to mail it. So she went to bed and we guarded the package. But we were mugged and tied up.

(mmm...mmm..mmm..mmm)

Erin saved us and found the package. Off to the PO we went. We had to fill out a custom form to mail the package. It was hard. Good thing we had a really nice postal lady help us.

Opposable thumbs might have helped.

We got it all figured out and then we paid for it. Even got a receipt. The postal lady was going to let us ride in the mail cart but other customers came in. So she had to help them. Knew we should have had Jesse guard the door.

OOO...It's like getting a gift for sending one.

Then it was time to go back to Georgia. Iowa is fun but Georgia is where we don't get mugged and stolen every day. We had a present waiting for us in the mailbox. It came "Royal Mail" We must be special. We were so excited. Erin wouldn't let us in the house until we calmed down. She though we might piddle on the carpet.

Ok enough pictures, let's rip this baby open!

Ok FINALLY Erin put the camera down and helped us open the package. Again with those opposable thumb issues. But we got it open!!! I would have used my braces if I had too. And look we got new head gear. Hats for everyone! Well most everyone.

We are very posh sheep now. Just like Marty and Jeremy.

We also got a CD but Erin can't get her Real Player to work. Ug...silly humans. But the gifts are awesome!!! THANKS MARTY AND JEREMY!! The rest of you sheep...Erin says she will get you your hats so you can play in the cold and snow soon.
