And is there anything more pathetic than a 48 year old woman wanting an XBOX360 and Guitar Hero III as her present?...........
Why YES there is!!! It's when you can't even play with your present....because the dogs won't let you!
Christmas morning..............
Christmas afternoon................
Christmas evening..........
The day after Christmas..............
The good news is...there is something they let me actually play with! Sammye Jo over at 62cards Picked me as her giveaway winner.

Love the rock stars :)nice tags :)
Glad you had wonderful Christmas, we did too!!!
Congrats on winning the give-away!! I can't believe you let the dogs play Guitar Hero! My oldest son has it and it drives me WILD with the tick, tick, tick of the drums and the noise of the set!! This is the big reason I'm looking forward to him getting married, NO MORE GUITAR HERO! He'll invite over a ton of kids and they'll be singing and each playing an instrument. It's fun to have his friends around but all I can hear through my bedroom floor is the tick, tick, tick of those DARN DRUMS!! I'm glad you enjoy it though. Does your husband rock out with you or is this solely for your enjoyment?! You must have been good for Santa to bring just what you wanted! You leave me sad though bz I just realized I'm a year older than you are. I'm ancient............SIGH.
That's ok. My 40 yr old hubby bought an Xbox 360 for the boys (HIMSELF) too.
Such talented little doggies you have. And such cute prizes! Christmas came three times to your house.
So glad you and the doggies had a great Christmas! Have a fun weekend. Sally
I would wrestle your dogs for a chance to channel my inner Springsteen!
Congrats!
YOU DESERVE ALL THESE WONDERFUL GIFTS FOR HELPING EVERYONE THE WAY YOU DO.YOU'RE A NICE LADY.AW-----------ANN
You got XBOX360 and guitar hero III??!! YOU spoiled rotten.....you know what!*winks* No wonder the kids took it over!Lol!! Nikki I think you have the most photogenic dogs...ahem ...I mean rockers...in the whole world!!I get my giggle on every time I visit you! *winks* Vanna
We have to stick together. Us 70's gals. That was the true classic rock era right. Oh yeah.
Hi, Nikki girl...it is just the most awesome thing the way Crumpet and Ozzie POSE for you. Man, most dogs would yelp, bark and bite if you tried all the things your dogs will do...AMAZING..and so cute!!
I have been putting away all the Christmas nonsense and had to rest my butt for a bit so no better place to rest than right here...with you!
xo bj

OOPS!!! Sorry about those 2 extra posts!
LOL I ask for power tools so I don't think your request was too weird. I always knew you were one kewl chick!!
LoL Nikki! Congrats on winning those fabulooossoo givaways! So glad you had a rocking Christmas too! Oh and thanks -I always tell my kids I'm too old for those games-Now they are gonna say see mom we told you your not too old! LOL! Im still not gonna play the darn games! We got our power back on yesterday so life is getting back to normal here-thank goodness!And the snow is kind of melting -it's gonna take a while for all that stuff to go away. Well I better get busy witrh all that laundry I couldn't do! LOL Hope you have a rockin weekend! ~Smiles~Tam!
You got some awesome gifts there lady! So how does it feel to be the mother of the coolest Rocker Dogs ever?!? ☺♥☺ Diane
Well it looks like the dogs are quite good on Guitar Hero rock star!! Too cute!! I know you are having fun playing that!
Congratulations on your great wins!!
Hi Nikki! Glad Santa was good to you and I say you are never to old to Rock n Roll! (with me the rollin happens everytime I walk!lol) Anyway, now you can add a video of you on your geetar (I'm a southerner now!) You can start a band called "The Crumpets"!!!! Have Fun - Jeannette O btw thanks for your sweet comments on my new look!
Nikki, We are addicted to Rock Band over here....we brought the house down and the company didn't leave 'til the wee hours of the mornin'. Glad to see that Santa was good to you and can I get Crumpet's autograph? ~ Robyn
I think your babies missed their calling! I can't believe the way they will let you pose them. I have a cat, so . . . Great post. I've never played guitar hero, but I've heard so much about it I might have to try. Kathy
Send the pups down South - dear hubby is bummed because the Oldest thinks Guitar Hero for the Wii is too difficult.
Maybe Crumpet and Ozzie will jam with him?
Its everyones worst nightmare... You've been tagged
You be careful trying to take that guitar, you might pull back a nub. LOL! Speaking of pulling back a nub, I thought about you this morning. (I read what you posted about having a grey and an ekki on the Cozy Tea Kettle.) DH took Zoey our grey out this morning so she could go to the bathroom (she will not go in her cage or on her play area, perched trained and she holds it all night long...) He proudly holds up to me both hands, all 10 fingers and exclaims "No blood or missing parts!) I wonder what is going on there....
Too funny! Your dogs should be on Letterman!
Love the rockin dogs! Sorry they won't let you play though. If I had one I would let you play it. Hope you had a great Christmas! And congratulations on your prizes. Hugs, Bobbi Jo
Oh Nikki this just made me laugh out loud..my poor Len's thinking I am losing it always laughing at the monitor..I just love what you do to those fur babies..Rock On Nikki..your the best..no wonder you have so many followers..too funny..hugs and smiles Gloria
Love that you're into all that fun stuff! Who cares how old you are. Rock on, baby! Well, as long as your dogs let you.
Maybe those furbies can go on the road touring and bring home money for their kibble . . . or turkey sandwiches! Too adorable, as usual!
Everyone needs at least on rock star in the family....
Perfect presents for a 48 year old I reckon! Those puppies are stars I tell you....love your giveaway - how clever is Sammye Jo - the cards are original and creative.
Have fun with taking down the deocrations - New Years here we all come!!
Why am I not surprised that Christmas at your house is all about the dogs? What cute pictures. Glad you had a merry Christmas. laurie
Nikki I love your Christmas gifts! Rock on dude!! I wanted a WIII....... maybe next year!
Merry Christmas!
Holy Kamoly girlfriend... How do you get Ozzie & Crumpet to pose like that??? They are so funny and NO I don't think it is crazy wanting Guitar Hero... My grandkids got the rock band and we played with it... It is fun... LOL LOL Glad you got what you wanted... I got all my decor down today so we can take Tassie for a ride next week... Have a funtastic evening MZ Joan Jet!!!
(((HUGS)))
Donna
Hi Nikki...It looks to me like you have been reduced to the status of a 48 year old groupie for Crumpet & Ozzie...tsk-tsk! You go girl!
Happy New Year, ;-) Bo
Sounds like you and the hairy ones had a good Christmas.
LOVE the one w/ the dog wearing sunglasses!
I don't know what is funnier...that you wanted (and got!)those games for Christmas or the cute pictutes of the doggies playing them!!
Adorable pictures and wonderful gifts...you deserved it and Santa must have your name in the NICE list.Happy New Year and wish you more blessings to come.
man we are so alike! :) I am glad you got what you wanted! YOU ARE ONE COOL CHIC! Crumpie was born to be a rock star and so was his mommy!
love you chic...i am glad you had a wonderful Christmas...I hope you get to party your booty off for new years!
love you
kyley
Another funny post. You and your dogs are just too much!
No way! I've had Guitar Hero a while now and I'm 53 with no kids to blame. LOL What's pathetic is that my goal in life has been to beat Clay (55 yr old dear husband). This is one of the reasons my time gets all sucked up and I can't blog that often. Enjoy rockin out you rocker chick you!
Hugs, Penny
Cracked me up again, your dogs are just so talented!! I got Wii FIT for myself, oh I'm sorry I meant to say for my kids, and have yet been able to get on it cause they LIKE it! Even the Girl was running on it!!!
Nikki, I am glad you had a wonderful Christmas. My grand-daughters got guitar hero. So, they were to busy to talk very long to their grandma. That's ok. I'll get my turn. They live in Tx. So, I'll give them another call in a couple days. Sorry the Christmas Elves couldn't help you take down your Christmas decor. They were at our house all day. All of our Christmas decor is down and put away. The house is clean and the regular home decor is back out. I even got a few new home decor items. It's feels good to be back to normal.
Hugs. Terrie
OMGoodness! You sound like my hubby takin' the poor kids Wii and playing with it all the time. I heard one say to him today..."when's it my turn to play on our Christmas present?" I'm so glad it was your gift rather than the pooches.
Oh don't take off the holiday decors just yet wait for 'Three Kings' at least.
And its not pathetic to wish for an Xbox nor a Wii, I really think its cool.
I wanna see pics of you playing Guitar Hero!! what the freak woman..who cares if the dogs take over..boot them off..You are the woman of the house. You be in charge yo!
Yo, can you bring me a turkey sandwich too? LOL, Crumpet and Oz have to be the best dogs ever!
Oh this is too funny! We love guitar hero in our family. Let me tell you granny here rocks with the best of them LOL I have to pick up speed because our grandson Michael just got the band.
"Bringing down my rock mojo"???!! You're too much, Crumpet :)))) Loved it. Got rid of the final remnants of my migraine...thank you :)
Your posts with the dogs and the cartoons are so cute, Nikki !
Happy upcoming New Year 2009 to you :)
Loving Annie
Well, you always make me laugh! Are you have all the neighborhood kids over for a competition soon???
Have a great new year!
SWEET!!! Guitar Hero! I don't have one but am coveting yours...LOL! Maybe ONE DAY I'll be cool enough to have one but then my pup, Carson will probably claim it as his. Your pictures of the "sweet pups" are priceless. You capture their "thoughts" SO well. Funny thing is when I try and take a picture of Carson lately, he's so interested in the camera I only gets pictures of his face/nose heading towards the lens. HEHEHE....maybe he'll grow out of it and be "used to the PUPParazzi" like your babies are...LOL!!!
Crumpet and Ozzie are way too cute!
Awhhh those two always make my day... rock on, ye furry guitar heroes!
Congrats on all your cool loot.
You just can't trust dogs...they want to have all the fun. Besides what's so weird about being 48 and wanting to rock out with Pat Benatar? Nothing, now be agressive and take that guitar away from those dogs. Don't make me send my cats over there!
You always have so much fun over here. I love to visit your blog. It always makes me chuckle! :->
HAHA..too funny, I love your puppies! Glad you had a good Christmas!
Darling pictures of the pups. Glad everyone had a good Christmas.
I'm jealous of Terrie commenting that she got her Christmas decor all packed away, geez I wish she would come and help me.
I came home from Vegas yesterday with a stinkin cold. Utah is freezing (probably not as much as where you are at though) and I hate the thought of running out to the storage shed with boxes of decorations. Oh well, tis the season I guess.
I hope we get to see Crumpet and Ozzie celebrating new years with you.
Ginger
It rocks that you wanted and got (sort of) a Wii !! LOL
I'm off to layout kitchen plans with my new software...(which my dogs, don't seem to care about at all) LOL
Your dogs look like they're ready to hit the road with their own rock band.(Although they may have a different definition of hit the road than I do.)
Nikki, they are sooo cute (and talented too)!! Do they take requests? If so, tell them Aunt Ksarra wants to hear "You ain't nothing but a hound dog!" by Elvis.
That bear is so cute!
I too am dreading the clean up of Christmas. I already know it will at least be a week or two before the stuff gets taken down.
I am such a fan of those dogs of yours! Love them!
Yeah, I just can not stand the thought of cleaning up the Christmas mess! Especially taking the tree down...ugh!
You have got to have something powerful you bribe your dogs with to get them to act out for you..... or maybe THEY are the ones in control..... what ever the results are HILARIOUS...
HUgs

Nikki, you deserve all that etsy stuff and more.
I am not really familiar with Guitar Hero, tho I ceratinly hear a lot about it and saw it by the Wiis at Target. And hey, why not at 48 - or 88, if ya want to!
Love the cooly shaded poochie-dude.
Now you need to get Guitar Hero World Tour. Then you could play against ME! LOL
I love that you love Guitar Hero ... you are never too old to rock! (Just look at the Rolling Stones ... now that is embarrassing. Give it up already!)
Hope you can pry it away from your little doggie rockers and let loose!
Do I sense a podcast in your future?
Ha! When hubster and I want to play guitar hero on our xbox, we just lace Dozer's bone with doggy sleeping drugs!
Love the doggie rock stars! I gave my grandson one of those guitar hero's for his birthday. When he opened the present his parents gave me a dirty look!
Congratulations on your winnings and glad to hear you had a wonderful Christmas.
Have a Happy New Years too!
Love, Ann
Love the giveaway goodies and the cool *N*! How sweet is that?
But oh wow. Your dogs have now given MY dog ideas...ya see? We got a Wii from Santa and Dan got Guitar Hero...now Kipper thinks if YOUR dogs can do it, HE can do it...'course, he t'ain't go a lick of musical ability. Nope but still he will probably hog the guitar and the game and I will never get a chance to break outta my 52 year old Mom persona and rock the world.
*sigh*
Love,
Sue
I'm glad you had a wonderful Christmas! The guitar hero was in my wish list too but I wasn't that lucky...
Hugs
Maria.

Congrats on your winnings! Love the dogs but how greedy they won't let you play. What did they get? I am a little late looking at your poem but I LMBO. Love ya girl, Happy New Year,
Cheryl
You seriously have the most patient dogs ever. I might even have to overlook my aversion to Crumpets' explosive bowels because he is dog dang cute rockin' that guitar.
Hello Nikki, I think your furballs need to go on U-tube. They are the funniest little dogs and they let you get great photos. I am so impressed with them. Actually I adore them.
I am happy for your give-a-way win. Great stuff too. Your gift is very cute and there is no surprise that Jill likes you. You are fun loving, thoughtful and deserve all the fans you have in your blogging world. Who doesn't love you Nikki? I do too. Smile.
Have a wonderful day and your furballs will probably get tired of rocking so cheer up. LOL!
Hugs...Jeanne
Good Morning Nikki ~ I haven't tried to play Guitar Hero yet...Mark got it last year for Christmas! I really wanted a Wii this year, but knew how tight the funds were...oh well!
Glad you had a wonderful Christmas!
Hugz,
Michele
There is nothing wrong with wanting to play all these fantastic fun games. You deserve it, Nikki, with all the pleasure you give others with your scrumptious blog.
Too cute--the dogs rockin' out!
You rock on, doggies!
We've got Guitar Hero for Wii - only my husband gets near it... LOL!
And what wonderful loot you got...
Your dogs really had some fun and they all looked so cute! And congrats on your winnings and for all the cool stuff that you've got!
Happy New Year!
Love your dog pictures! Luckily my dogs are more dreamers than rockers! I hope you had a great Christmas! And yay for Guitar Hero!
Oh No! You've been sucked into the Wii vortex!
I know you are a true rock queen. My grandson got Guitar Hero for Christmas, but I haven't played yet. Who knows, I might be a true rock queen, too?!!!
Your prize goodies are great, and I love your "N".
Another good laugh! I soooooo cannot play that Guitar Hero... I like to be the singer... or the groupie! I can do that... LOL
GREAT post as always!
Hi Nikki! Glad you got that Guitar Hero, now you can post a rock concert like I did with my singing video! Can't wait! LOL!!! Deb
Glad to see you got what you wanted for Christmas! happy Monday!
Santa brought Guitar Hero World Tour to our house this year, and the sounds of beating drums have filled our night since.
Your dogs were already stars, but the rock thing gives them a whole new edge.
Great prize, and I'd like to get my grubby paws on that "N" ornament,
Nat
(p.s. at no point was I in a string bikini so no nasty crow attacks)
Looks like your doggies are ready for their first tour! Love the cute pics. :)
Nikki,
I hope you had a Merry Merry Christmas! I am so glad to have met you too... even if it's via Blogland! We don't always have to see eye to eye.. we just have to see! (LOL)
Big Giant New Years Hugs!!!!!

I wanted to let you know that I posted my centerpieces of the month. I loved your shrubbery! come visit.
What I want to know NIkki is if you totally crack up while you are posing your dogs for pictures? Something tells me you do. :)
Congrats on your win!
It sounds like you had a great Christmas! Hooray!
I don't know how you do it,but you get funnier and funnier. Your dog with the sunglasses on is hysterical.. Congrats on yet another win...hugs ~lynne~

You would think with a PS3, Xbox 3 whatever it is, game cube and a Wii, Child Husband would be a happy boy. But no, there is always more he wants. I would love to let your dogs take over some of his stuff.
You are so weird....no wonder I like you! Great stuff. Happy New Year. Thanks for "Bread".
Thanks for the visit.
I'm glad Christmas is over and everything is put away.
Nice blog and I felt pretty comfortable until you started showing all of your make up. That's got me a bit shaken.
Hi......
Your blog is really interesting... Keep posting.... Wishing you " A Happy New Year''
Holy Cow - 105 comments later....do you even read all these comments you amazing blogging woman? Have they left your guitar hero alone yet? I'll take you on any day. :)
I swear, you've got the most talented dogs I've ever seen. I mean shit, not only can they talk, but now Crumpet can rock it out? Wow.
Justine :o )
i think your pups should look up my pups in the phone book and get together for a gig. my boxer LOVES when we play guitar hero, he jumps and barks "my turn, my turn!"
I LOVE this post!!! We bought a WII with Guitar Hero World Tour for the family. I think Gordon and I have more fun than we thought we would have. The music brings backs memories and our children have fun because they have fun learning about the GOOD OLE DAYS of ROCK!!!!
Thanks for the fun pictures.

My husband hasn't been off the WII since Christmas morning. Even the dogs are ticked at his lack of attention. Or maybe they just want to play themselves!
