1. Kstme, I know you enjoyed the NFR finals!

2. Kaili, even with bundling up that must have been awesome watching the NFL live!

3. Wappy, I know what you mean about other holidays this time of the year. We have several birthdays and anniversaries. I hate to see someone getting birthday presents with Christmas wrap on them!

4. Schoolmarm, I had to wear a coat yesterday, too. Looks like it will be staying out the rest of the week, but that's okay. I rarely get to wear it and it looks good on me!

5. Sofie is so cute! Sorry to hear about Pedro. My son's Opi is not doing good this morning with his diabetes.

6. Snow! Ice! Freezing cold! Yep, this is the time of year for it.

7. I'm sorry Jbean, War and others are not feeling well.

8. Froggiegirl, tomorrow I will be baking cookies, too. Also, brownies, and petit fours (cross your fingers for me on that one)

9. Reader, you sound so stressed. I'll be glad when the holidays are over for you, so that you can enjoy the good parts and forget the bad ones. We got news that ds is leaving for Germany on the 21st instead of Christmas day. Seems there were no seats on flights and there won't be any flights available before the 21st.

1. Just taught students how to save to favorites and I think I have created a monster. Now I'll have to show them how to organize!

2. Suppy taught at night school last night which was fun because its been a year since I gave up teaching that class. Students were so happy to see me. I had forgotten how much I missed each of them and hearing about their lives. We spent 3 hours getting caught up. I was glad I went.

3. Hubby did some Christmas baking with the boys while I was out last night. Of course he was able to bake without burning anything. He also made 2 dishes for the potluck dinners we go to this week which saved me oodles of time. Even sick he is still a God send!

4. Started to practise some of my creative wrapping skills last night. My class is doing fundraising at the Mall wrapping gifts for Christmas. So I watched "the real Gilligan's Island" and wrapped gifts last night after class. The show was not bad. Gosh Rachael Hunter looked good! I was surprised by her demeanour...not what I expected.

5. Boys are participating in the play "the Grinch" I am desperately trying to think of how I can colour my son's face green without causing any permanment damage....like I need to have things like that keeping me awake at night.

6. I just remembered today is shephard's pie day at my local deli. Yeah, I can get lunch there today because I forgot mine. Sure beats the peanut butter sandwich I would race home to have.

7. I am hoping that the weather warms up here soon. This morning the temperature was -29 C.(-20.2 F) That is much too cold for this time of year for me and I still have 3 months to go.

8. We got my Dad a Dell computer for Christmas. He is really enjoying being a Dude. I am getting the greatest emails from him lately. He has also discovered high speed!

9. My students are learning how to search the web quickly. I just asked someone to tell me what -29 c was in fareinheit and they had it converted lickedy split. I am glad they are so comfortable with their new skills and makes me feel less guilty about spending time doing this list.

10. Aside from now knowing how difficult 10 is to do, I have had fun the last few days hanging out in this thread. I so appreciate the humour and comman sense approach to life that some many members of this club subscribe to. It makes my days more pleasant that is for sure and always gives me a different perspective. Have a great day friends.

Fondly
Wappy

1. Hi all- new Leif pics up in my folder. He's such a little doll! Just turned 6 months about a week ago :-)

2. Tim wants to go to the game again this weekend. Yeah, it would be fun, but it would also probably get a bit expensive to do this weekly (not to mention the low is supposed to be 13 degrees!!!- With a 3 o'clock game and it getting dark around 4, that temp's going to drop fast!).

2.2 Yesterday I totally took apart one of my fishtanks, took the fish out, got rid of the old ugly blue gravel and put in the natural stuff, put about 15 gallons of their old water back in along with a bunch of new water, added the fish back in, and it looks great! I love having live plants in my tanks- they're so pretty, and more so with the natural gravel.

1. Two batches of cut-out cookies done! Yay! It was a LOT of work, but they are my favorite, so it's worth it.

2. Tomorrow my mom and I are baking Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter and Snickerdoodles. Probably about 3 batches of each...not sure if she has any other recipes up her sleeve?!

3. My Christmas cards are going out tomorrow! Finally got to the post-office to get those cute little Santa Claus stamps. I must always have Christmas stamps for my Christmas cards!

3.621 Kaili - little Leif is too precious for words!

1. Those pictures are soooo cute Nick. thanks for sharing your cutie kids with us.

2. Made 13 "cookies in a jar" yesterday for extra Christmas gifts for dh's family and for teachers.

3. Found a few more gifts that had to be wrapped and I am looking for one gift for dh, that I have no clue where I put. The fact that it is small makes it harder to find. You know when you get something you need, you put it in a spot that you won't forget and then ...well that spot now is not such a good idea since I cannot remember where it is.

4. We have snow here now, it is beautiful to look at and something other than mucky mud for the kids to play in.

5. Was reading the "stalkers" thread..hoping that no one considers me a Stalker with my double vowels in my name

2. the boxes are in the house - it's not happening here. I have no gumption in putting the stuff up.

3. it's really more of a not wanting to put it away after the holidays issue.

4. forget christmas - I'm just happy about having 4 days in a row off - lol.

1. boy, did i have an eventful afternoon. dear kitty got out apparently this morning when i left for work....i guess her new thing is going to be trying to sneak out.

2. i freaked out immediately when i got home at 3:20 pm, and she was nowhere to be found. being a city cat, and strictly indoors, i immediately thought the worst...that she was dead on the nearby I-44.

3. first i drove around the area, and saw a road crew, so i asked if they'd seen a cat (i had her picture with me). they said no. so then i went to walmart and bought a bag of her favorite treats to shake while walking around looking for her (walmart is like 2 minutes away), then when i got back, i thought by a fluke, i would stop by the apartment office and see if anyone reported a lost cat....surely enough.

4. i knocked on the door of the apt # given, and the lady said she'd had her in all day and had let her out about half an hour ago, because she was petrified all day, and she thought she was injured.

5. we went out back and i started shaking the treat bag and calling her, and i hear a faint "meow". all i have to say is THANK GOD! i only knew about her being gone for about an hour, and my world felt like it was coming to an end.

5.1 i went to petsmart immediately after the whole ordeal, and bought her a cheetah-print collar, so i could put on her tag with our phone # on it, should the clever cat manage to get past mom again (although not likely)

1. Oh, Jbean! Thank goodness your kitty is back home, safe and sound.

2. I baked my butt off today! Me and my mom baked a triple batch of peanut butter cookies, a triple batch of snickerdoodles, a triple batch of regular chocolate chips, a double batch of chocolate chips with walnuts, and a double batch of snowballs. I'm worn out!

3. Christmas cards went out this morning and I hope that maybe I'll get some in return. I only have 6 cards so far...very strange. Maybe everyone forgot my address or something?

4. Steve got some really great news at work this week. He's been traveling a lot lately with a group of co-workers teaching some sort of classes at various branch offices of the corporation he works for (whew!). Anyway, he really shouldn't be in this group as he is not an "engineer", although certainly capable. After his most recent trip, the project manger went to Steve's supervisor and raved about him, saying what a great job he's been doing and that he needs to be promoted and compensated for his efforts. Things are actually being put in motion! They are in the works of creating a position for him, can't remember the title because it has a lot of technical words in it, but this is great news! Hopefully a substantial raise will come along with it!!!

5. I need to get my nails done, they look horrible.

6. I rented Princess Diaries 2 and I can't wait to watch it!

TGIF Everyone!

1. Final grades for this semester are in. I got an A in my class!

2. Kids have one more day of school then they will be off for 3 weeks.

3. Tonight the kids made Christmas cards for their teachers. They have been working on book thongs for a few months so they picked one out for each of them as well. Their gifts are gift certificates to the book store, but the kids had so much fun making the cards and book thongs and are quite proud of taking in something they made.

4. How sad is this? I ran out of tape the other day when I wrapped the presents I have at home. So while wrapping the kids presents for their teachers, I had to use glue, LOL. Ah well, it worked.

5. We decided to skip the big family get together. We'll go over to sis' Christmas morning to exchange gifts and visit for awhile, but they are planning on having a fairly quiet day.

6. Darren and I will cook Christmas dinner. We invited mom and her new boyfriend, and my aunt and her friend over. Sis and the rest of the family are invited, but they've said their not up to doing it, so probably won't come. I do understand, though the kids will probably find it a little unusual.

7. Since Darrens family hasn't made plans, I asked him to invite his mom and new step father. Invite them every year, have yet to have them come.

1. My cat had a "party" in the crawl space yesterday. She is calico, and I had left her in the garage cause it's cold outside. She wasn't there in the morning, but I really startled an orange and white cat that I've seen prowling around. I opened the garage door to let it out. Shut the garage door, but left the door to the garage/laundry room open while I checked outside in back and front for the cat. NO cat. But when I checked the front door, I found a gray and white stubby tailed cat (I call it "stubby") under my couch, and very frightened. He climbed up on top of the dryer to try to get out and I opened the back door to let him out. SO, where the heck was MY cat? Kitty, kitty, kitty, and YAWN here she comes s t r e t c h i n g her way out of the hole to the crawl space. SHEESH!

2. Got the list of band director candidates down to six. We are doing phone interviews on Monday, and hope to get it down to three. Good folks in there!

3. I have to finish grading this weekend. I hope to get a bunch done today.

4. I will have to get out the big long winter coat today.

5. I have friends visiting on Tuesday! My first visitors that aren't my parents! YIPPEEE....they have three kids aged 1-4, and will leave the kids with grandma so we can have an adult day. This should be fun!

6. I have no clue when I will be going to my parents for Christmas. Especially now since I have to get someone to feed the cat. I have two students lined up, and just need to juggle with them who is here when.

7. My neighborhood is really pretty with lots of decorations. I don't have anything up, except a little macrame Christmas tree I made in high school. That's going to be it for me. Less stress!

8. I really liked the Apprentice finale. Lincoln Center looked so much bigger on camera then when you are in the audience.
