1. If you watch the Rose Parade, look for my nephew who will be marching with the Los Angeles Unified All City Marching Band and playing a set of quad drums. I'm sure if you pay attention, you'll see him...LOL!

2. His girlfriend will be one of the cute banner girls at the front of the marching band. She's the smallest on in the line and if you pay attention, I'm sure you'll see her....LOL!!

3. My DD went back to her apartment after getting her car lube/oiled, her tires/brakes checked, a trip to the store for household supplies and some groceries. All provided by her parents...and it was worth it to have her leave home and go back to her apartment...LOL!! (j/k...I love my DD!!)

4. My sons were asked to help supervise a youth group for the annual overnight stay on Colorado Blvd and they said yes! So that means nobody will get any sleep, they will be freezing cold, stand in long lines to use the portable loos, and eat lots of junk food...all to watch the Rose Parade at 8am the following morning. Ahhh, to be young again (I remember doing that as a teen...)

5. My "baby" DS#2 will be turning 19 years old on New Years Day. I ordered his cake today and have all his gifts wrapped. He really was due on January 31st but decided to surprise all of us and arrived on the 1st instead....and you know, he's never stopped surprising us! He truly is a gift.

1. Grrrr. We're getting snow, kinda a lot of snow.. more than 7 inches at last count, and still going.

2. I had fun watching my Son and dog Sasha out front playing a little while ago..(11:50 pm) She was chasing snowballs and jumping around like a puppy.

3. I am really scared that Son is going to want to drive tomorrow. He's not ready!! He's been driving a little more than a year, but snow is a totally new experience!! He'll be 18 in April.

4. He moved the car from the driveway (we have a hill) up to the street and decided to go around the block.... Guess Mom was actually right for once, he said it was pretty scary, and he almost crashed twice..

5. Hopefully it will be one of those times where it all melts by tomorrow afternoon. I got lucky though, because he doesn't have to work tomorrow, and he volunteered to babysit the little kids cuz both the parents are working. (hahaha-mean Mommy here..)

6. "Right Now" I'm really worried about DH too. He has to be out driving in this for his job. About 270 miles a night, on some wicked stretches of road in normal conditions!! He's driving a crown Vic (old cop cruiser) with snow tires, but still....

7. I'm hooked on Keno again. It keeps my my mind occupied and I don't have to think about everything...lol I made about 7 million coins since last Weds.

1. I got no sleep last night. I stumbled out of bed at 7am, grabbed some excedrin for the major headache I had and went back to bed to try to sleep til noon. Never got any, lol.

2. Bought League of Extraordinary Gentlemen today. We sat and watched that, then I took a little nap on the couch for a couple hours.

3. Almost 2am and I'm still wide awake and wondering if I'll ever sleep tonight.

4. The kids go back to school Monday. Both of them are so excited about this, but I think I'm more ready for it than they are!

5. MOW goes back to work Monday too. While I love having him home, I'll be happy to get back to my regular routine. I feel like I've got nothing accomplished the last couple of weeks.

6. Tomorrow he's planning to take the kids to visit his mom and my sis for awhile. It will be good for all of us, lol.

7. I just realized its New Year's Eve. For the first time in years, no one has asked me to babysit tonight. I bet by 6pm I have at least one person call and ask, LOL.

8. I'm such a sucker, I'll say yes with no notice...sigh.

1. Just found this folder.
2. I can't sleep when DH is ill every 39 minutes.
3. DH is not running a high fever (99) and is either cold or hot, depending on whether or not I am snuggled into my sleeping under the covers (he's too hot, and turned on the fan) or on top of the turned back covers (he's too cold and blasts the heat).
4. Refuses to go to the doctor, noting that in 24 hours his time has lengthened between nausea bouts by 29 minutes.

Earlier today, I waded through the Las Vegas snow to go to Walmart, and picked up good clearance stuff:
5. 4 3-packs of kleenex for $0.70/each. Restocked the pantry for tissues for $2.80.
6. Picked up a string of clear mini-lights for $0.44. According to the Master Gardener that I consult with, I need to wrap them around the branches and tree trunk of the dwarf peach tree I'm getting when a freelance check comes in. Purportedly, if the lights are on a timer from dusk til dawn, they will generate enough heat to keep the tree from freezing.
7. Picked up books 2 & 3 of Nora Roberts Key of ... series. Have to love gift cards.
8. Made up a list of things to do when I get up in a few hours.

This will be a cool way to get to know people. Thanks, Tess for posting the link in your Daily Update!

1. I'm back! Actually I've been back a few days but not had time to post.

2. Had a great time at my mom’s- we went riding a few times, went to the lake, had a fire at the beach, went out for really good Thai food in Duluth, had Christmas, made cookies, and the weather was the best northern Wisconsin Christmas weather EVER (45 degrees!!!!!!!!!!! It's usually about 2 degrees this time of year!). I saw my dog Hannah’s grave too. That was kind of sad. Some of you may remember- my mom had her put to sleep at the end of September after a long (14 year), happy life.

Here’s me, my mom and my stepdad (and Ole) at Lake Superior on Christmas evening
beach


3. My best gift this year was a digital camera. Sorry, all the good pictures from my mom are from before I opened it so I have to wait for her to email them to me. I don't know what's taking so long.

4. Had to set up my small tank again- got another pregnant fish. Well, I'm pretty sure- she's looking like a little football with fins. (They have a 55 gallon at the store for $150 including the filter, pump, and light. I want it, but the couch would have to go- this apartment is pretty full).

5. Speaking of football- we're in a frenzy in the Appleton/Green Bay area- probably all over Wisconsin come to think of it. There was a story on the news of a HUGE thank you card being sent to the Cardinals guy who got the final touchdown. I think the mayor of Green Bay sent the Cardinals cheese too. I'm happy, and I'm glad Arizona is the team to thank since they're my other team. Besides, Green Bay DESERVES it J

6. My cousin is having a New Year’s party tonight. I have a ton of veggies to chop and dip to make. I even bought a new tray thing yesterday (with the little dividers and dip dish). It’s a sterilite plastic one with a big lid so easy to take to the party and no fears of it being broken.

7. My mom’s computer is a mess- after having it 2 years I finally got her to put an antivirus thing on it- now she’s got 49 files that Norton deleted that were infected and her email won’t work. She’s calling her ISP helpline. They know her there. She calls a lot.

8. I watched Pirates of the Carribean last night. I liked it. Pretty good movie.

9. Happy New Years everyone! Be safe!!!

1. What a great picture Kaili! Beautiful scene!

2. We got more snow last night...yippee!

3. It started snowing right after the kids went to bed and stopped right about the time we went to bed. It was so beautiful outside.

4. Don't laugh at me, but my husband and I made hot chocolate and got out lawn chairs and sat outside watching the snow fall. I loved it, so peaceful and quiet.

5. At about 4 a.m. it started melting, but it is melting very slowly.

6. Hubby and son are out playing in it right now, hopefully I can post some pictures later. I'm not taking my daughter out in it because she isn't feeling well.

7. People laugh that our city comes to a hault when it snows even the littlest amount, but it actually is dangerous because of all the hills and mountains in our area.

8. My elevation is about 130 feet, but my sister-in-law lives less than 3 miles away and is at over 1000 feet. She can get 6 inches of snow and we may never see anything.

9. Last night on the news they said Sunday/Monday we may have a "big snowstorm" I haven't heard those two words and "Portland Metro Area" together in a loooong time. Yea!

10. Someday soon I will talk about something other than snow! Maybe...

1. I live in the south and snow very seldom comes here but I would love for it to snow (not ice) here.

1. I've lived below the snow line most of my life
2. Visiting above the snow line is okay occasionally, but I prefer staying in the tropic zones where I don't have to take 20 minutes out of my schedule every time I have to put on & take off a ton of warm clothing

1. I've lived west of Cleveland all of my life and believe me, I do live in the snow belt.

2. Three more years until my youngest graduates from high school....

3. Then no more snow for me....
