This coming Friday, I am gonna finish the Christmas shopping for the cousins.

Elin, hows the weather in your part of the world?

right now it is 53 with brilliant sunshine. We are supposed to go into the upper 60s today. Just glorious!

How about in your neck of the woods, Heidi?

Thanks, Janet!

Chuck is making us breakfast - eggs & hash browns. Yummy!

I am a cereal girl, so I had Cheerios.

I have not had breakfast yet. I love breakfast. Bob and I were going to go out this morning but he went back to sleep and I got on the computer instead! Hmmm... what to have???

I like cereal too. I don't eat much more than that usually but since he was making breakfast for the kids (Ryan & Becky are still here), I took him up on his offer to make me some too. I am a raisin bran, honey nut cheerios, corn chex kind of girl. Either that or oatmeal with raisins & brown sugar. Very rarely, I will have cocoa wheats (with lots & lots of white sugar).

It is currently 42 degrees here and overcast. At least it isn't raining which was the forecast. It was then to change to snow this afternoon. Hopefully, the snow part was wrong too!!!!

I am doing while DISing, what be you all doing?

I am sitting here looking at airfare for the girls. One of the good things that came out of our dinner with Kathrin and her friends is that they encouraged her to accept our offer to buy her ticket for December! She gave me the go-ahead, so I am starting to shop.

I have quite a few choices for Kristin, but not so many for Kathrin. I want them to have non-stop flights so that is limiting.

I heard our local weatherman in DC say that there was a possibility of snowflurries in the mountains of West Virginia tonight. Although that is a whole state away, it is too close for comfort. Kind of like when Heidi gets snow! BLECH!

I hope Riley does choose to go out. How nice that you want to go with him.

I have not had very many TOT's the last couple of years so I am not planning on giving out candy this year. So now I will be able to enjoy it with Riley

That is what I am going to make right now!

Oops, need to go grocery shopping?
Swing by Pa. I have eggs, bacon, sausage, toast (with butter) tea, coffee, and milk.

No I had a liquid supper last night, it was a long week

I hope you can find what you need for the girls flights Elin. I'm glad to hear that Kathrins' friends talked her into letting you do this for her.

I am being lazy at the moment!

Well another set of updates were installed and Becky's laptop is rebooting. Chuck had to go to his office to get a CD with the software I need to make sure is working. It is the major thing that has been crashing on her. I wasn't even going to test it until all the updates are done but I wanted the CD just in case I have to reinstall the software. I've been working on this an hour already. Now, I remember why I was happy moving to management. I hate working on computers! I'm a programmer which is what I love about computers.

Ooh, I want him. He is so cute. The family membership is a great idea. I wish we had something like that I could do in Iron Mountain. Now if they had a tiger, I'd HAVE to buy him for me!!!!

I bought one very similar to that for Sister. It wasn't cheap, but I don't recall exactly how much it was. That was the year Brother was SOOO excited about Santa, so my bosses sent me out to buy a ton of Hanukkah presents for the kids. Anyway, after Christmas they were on clearance for like $8. If you want one you should wait.

I have managed to gain 1.5 pounds between yesterday and today. That should make my jeans fit much better!

I realized yesterday we never got the bill for DH's WalMart card. That is one of those that routinely goes missing with our fabulous mail delivery. I am sure it is due so he will be going to the store to pay it later.

DS just wandered out here with a note that says the band has to go play for an "away" football game Tuesday night. Nothing like short notice! They are going on a bus, but they won't get home until 9:30 PM. DS is coughing and his nose is all stuffy. I don't think sitting out in the cool air for 2 hours will make him feel better.

He did a little work on that math project this morning. It is basically a bunch of words that all mean the same thing. Add, increase, incline, deposit, up. He is supposed to divide the words into 2 groups, one group for positive and one group for negative. He then has to ILLUSTRATE the words. They all mean THE SAME THING! What is he supposed to draw? I have to remember to buy a poster board at Target. I told him he is not to touch the board until he has mapped out the project on paper. There are required components for the front AND the back so if he messes it up I will have to go buy another board.

I hope you can find what you need for the girls flights Elin. I'm glad to hear that Kathrins' friends talked her into letting you do this for her.

I will find it, Vicki. I was just hoping not to have to pay $400 for it.

Kristin can fly out of Dulles, National or Richmond and only needs a one-way flight so we are talking $170 or so. Of course, she will need a towncar company to get her to the airport, but she will pay for that herself.

Aaaaaaaggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh! I just read on the DVC forums that you can make ADR's as of yesterday through March 22. The last I heard you couldn't make them until November sometime. I am going to have to call this afternoon to see if I can get our reservations. I sure hope that I haven't missed the coveted LeCellier that we want!

Elizabeth - that math project sounds like a lot of busy work for a middle school student!
