1. I love this place!
2. I went to Chicago with the High School Youth Group, I love downtown, the crowds, the snow, the Holiday Lights, the energy... I love it.
3. I dont have my tree up yet, too much clutter here
4. DS #2, 15 is laying on the couch with a fever, poor kid, he missed his swim meet
5. DD, 6 had a Brownie event, they went Cosmic Bowling did I mention I was in Chicago - bwaaahhhhaaaa, I didnt have to go cosmic bowling!
6. DS#1 was given another scholarship to pay for 2nd semester tuition. It brought a tear to my eye. I wish DS was still playing hockey. They told us we were family when he first joined Stan Mikitas AHIHA< and that the kids that go to college, they would pay thier tuition, that was when there were just 25 kids, and maybe 1 or 2 went to college, now its grown to over 100, and lots more go... and they are still paying tuition, even tho we havent gone in 3 years...
7. DH made homemade mac and cheese, grated the cheese, baked it, and no one likes it but him. I tell this to him each and every time he gets nostalgic and makes it. It makes him sad no one likes the real thing.
8. I'm not following the patter in this thread, and apologize for confusing people. I just have such energy tonight!
9. I bought German ornaments at the Christkindlmarket in Chicago.
10. Sunday is the Chidren's Pageant at Church, DD is an angel. Sure she is. Really!!

1. I just got done practicing for two hours and have my tomorrow's recital ready to go. Tamed the beast of an organ and have all the registrations set. I am feeling that adrenaline rush that athletes feel when working out. I should do this more often! LOL!

2. My department is in a tailspin and morale is very low. I felt like one of the survivors negotiating for votes for our new band director, and I was successful. However, we did NOT elect a department chair and now are the laughingstock of the university. Everyone feels picked on, and half the department doesn't talk to the other half. I try to talk to everyone, but it's getting ridiculous. SO, I went to Staples and bought 16 resume holders and a ream of granite paper for my vita. I'm a rat bailing out of this sinking ship. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE let me get a different job this year!

1. We had a full day of shopping at the overly crowded mall. My feet hurt!!

2. We ate at El Chico where Apriljo insisted our waiter must have been on his second day at the job. He dropped our food, messed up my son's tacos, and brought Apriljo a dirty spoon that he just picked up out of the dish rack. We left him a 20% tip anyway just because he was so doggone sweet and cute!!

3. Azriel has a Suvivor party planned tomorrow at her Mom's house. And yea, Mexican food is on the menu!!

3½. We had so much fun and will have a great time tomorrow. Gosh, I've missed Az!!

1. I just noticed today that my dog Sasha has something weird with her teeth.

2. The top teeth are supposed to come down on the outside of the bottom teeth, right?

3. Her's come down behind the front teeth.

4. Is that an over or an under bite? Yikes I need doggie braces...lol. Seriously though, is that a problem? Guess I should ask that in the dog thread.

1. Just crawled out of bed and also heard the news...my thanks goes out to all of our troops.

2. Its snowing here today...I would guess another 6 inches on the ground.

3. No plows have been out and its beautiful.

4. My son has a choir concert as well today, but I would bet that it will be cancelled.

5. But I hope the Survivor party that I was invited to...isn't.

6. Feels like a good day to put up my little Charlie Brown christmas tree.

1. I wish DH would wake up for a second so I could tell him about Saddam.
2. I sure hope I can get back to sleep.
3. DH decided last night that we should have a final blowout party in this house.
4. He wants us to do a New Year's Eve party.
5. YIKES! That only gives me a couple of weeks to not only plan a big party but keep packing up the house. Oy!
6. You all are invited! Seriously! We have tons of floor space for sleeping over and tons of quilts, blankets, and sleeping bags to make you comfy. And I have never hosted a party that there wasn't way more food and booze than needed. And fireworks can be seen from my house. Ya'll come on!

1. I was sick yesterday :( I was worried I was getting the flu, but it ended up being just an all day long fever and I'm okay now.

2. I'm all sniffley today though.

3. I finally got to see Elf last night. Like everyone else, I loved it.

4. We also went out for dinner before the movie at A Taste of Thai. I love Thai food. Bunches.

5. I'll make the cookies today. I just didn't want to drag myself off the couch yesterday and go to the store because it looked really cold out.

6. It looked colder than it was- it looked like about 5 degrees but it got up to 30. That's just the view from the couch but it's one of those white sky, white ground days. Today is too, but it looks foggy a little bit- it's really white out there.

7. I wonder what I would need to do to have as much excitement as Jbean in my life. Lucky girl! (Hi there!!!!!!! I really will write soon when I get over my laziness).

8. Saddam was captured? Wow. But where's Osama?

Bobbie, I am in Buffalo, NY and despite our bad rep we've had almost no snow this winter. I am serious about inviting all of you! It will be a great party!

you guys really crack me up! (kady and kalli) :)

i am doing christmas colors instead of purple today....feels kinda weird.


1. i attribute all the excitement in my life to my friend that i hang out with all the time. we really do have a blast. she is nuts, and we are a lot alike. (oh yeah, and being single and being able to do whatever i want is a big part, too!) hee hee!

2. cocktails help too! :)

3. i finally got my christmas tree up this morning. you know that phrase about curiousity and cats? well, i'm thinking it might come true today. lol, just kidding of course.

4. the bitter apple spray on the tree has helped matters a great deal, though. you should see the face she makes when she tries to bite the tree. too funny!

5. the snow yesterday was not as bad as i had thought. not sure what the accumulation was, but most of the streets were clear (but wet). i think it just looked bad on top of the 7 inches that we got on wednesday that hadn't melted.

6. our city had it's annual parade last night. the first time it had ever been at night, and in all that snow. i didn't go, because as i mentioned before, i don't like to be cold.

7. yay, it's survivor night....go darrah....woo hoo! :)

8. i can't wait to get through this week! next week is a 2 day work week for me, then i am off on vacation until after the new year. woo hoo!

9. next sunday is my work christmas party at the ice park, then monday is my birthday and i am going to eat at a place called lambert's (yum, just thinking about it makes my mouth water) with my mom and a couple of my friends. i will be 29 for the first time.....ha! i have a feeling i will have a lot of 29th birthdays. lol.

ps. edited to add - i really miss square, my aubergine friend, it's not the same here without her. :(

1. I'm not sure how many facts to do now but it doesn't really matter.
2. I woke up in such a lovely, "feel good" mood. I don't know why and don't ask why. Just enjoying it.
3. I think some of it may have something to do with the commercial with James Taylor singing,"Shower the people you love with love...show them the way you feel...things are gonna be just fine if you only will." What a nice sentiment.

1. I finally fell asleep somewhere around 3:30 this morning.

2. Caleb woke me up at 6am to ask if he could have oatmeal cookies and milk for breakfast. Since I have 200 cookies, I came close to saying yes, but his argument that they were oatmeal so were for breakfast just didn't win me over.

3. Bug guy came about 8am. I'm not sure what I said to him, but he asked if I was sure I wanted to cancel my service, I said, "huh?" LOL, we rescheduled, I think.

4. Dakota's upset. Cable company is working on the neighborhoods service or something and we are without cable this morning. I knew about this Friday, but forgot until Kota started complaining about Dora not being on.

1. I'm giddy.

2. It's too early to say much, but oh boy did I meet someone I really, really like!

3. The feelings are mutual and very strong.

4. The fancy dinner out with Larry and his dad and his dad's girlfriend was very nice. I enjoyed the limo ride and the champagne.

5. I'm almost done with christmas shopping and now I need to wrap.

1. So much for feeling better- the fever came back Sunday all day.

2. I went to bed immediately after the Survivor finale. Yay Sandra!

3. Got a call to sub at 6:30 this morning. I feel a lot better today- for real this time. Just stuffy. I laughed though, thinking I was probably in worse shape than the teacher that did call in.

4. I subbed for keyboarding classes. It was kind of fun since I've never taken a typing class. I'm telling you though- I have to say it. I would have been soooo bored if I ever had taken one!

5. I need to do laundry and I really just don't have the time. Plus I hate doing laundry.

6. I bought plants for my fish tank the other day. The real live ones. I've never had live plants in there before. I know it doesn't take much to excite me, but I think it's kinda nice. Just wait in a few days I'll be back, complaining about those evil little snails taking over the tank. I have apple snails but they eat algae and I like them. I mean the tiny black ones that just multiply and multiply.

(Go Sage!!!)

3. My daughter's birthday was fun, she dove into her cake. It was great. I will post pictures soon.
4. I am volunteering at my son's school today, I love doing that and with hubby on vacation I am taking advantage of him staying home with Jenna.
5. I am really sad that Keiko died. I am glad that I was able to see him when he was being rehabilitated here in Oregon. Amazing. What a wonderful story. I am sad.

1. I'm trying to get in the mood for Christmas.
2. I've got the tree out of the box and laying on the floor.
3. I've got the lights all working(found all the bad lights and replaced them).
4. Now, I'm wondering why I started this mess.
5. I've still need to do Christmas cards!
6. I haven't even started shopping, that's right not even the first gift....
7. But, the good thing is I usually don't bake this early, so I'm not late on this!
8. I miss my kids being little!!!!!!!!!!

I think I typed this out just to see how pathetic I'm being....sheesh, I'm hanging my head in shame now. I'm going to find some Christmas cheer today, someway, somehow!!!
