Lindsay- Good like finding some jeans.

Theresa- Glad to hear Abi enjoyed the Tuba Christmas. Sorry that Cassidy has been disrespectful. that Jim's arm is doing better soon.

Been awhile since we've both been on later at night!!

I get so spoiled because these outbreaks of teenness don't happen very often....but they are doozies when they do happen!! I told her I loved her even if she was being a poophead after I calmed down. Took me a long time to calm down this afternoon though!!!

Remember it doesn't last forever. Just take some deep breaths. It will get better.

I should be in bed but don't feel like going.

I baked cookies and did some deorating yesterday and I went to the Hanging of the Greens service, or more affectionately known as the Wreath throwing service. As about 8 years ago when I was in choir at that service they were hanging the wreaths from the balcony as the choir was singing. Well the one wreath wasn't actually hung on the hook and it fell down and hit a lady in the head, she ended up with a black eye. Apparently our faces as we were singing was shock as our director stopped directing and turned around to see what was going on. The choir director nicknamed it the wreath throwing ceremony. They hung the wreaths the next year and one fell again but didn't hit anyone, ever since the wreaths have been hung ahead of time

I have off from work on Monday, I have to tie dye shirts they're Christmas gifts for my cousins, Mom's best friends kids and the neighbors kids. 7 shirts in all, I considered trying to do princess crowns for the girls and something else for the boys but decided I am doing plain old tie dye as I didn't feel like sewing 7 shirts to do the designs.

I also must type and mail 11 letters from Santa. The Girl Scout troop played elves and wrote responses to the kids letters. The 3 leaders divided them up and are typing and mailing them back to the kids.

I should do some more decorating tomorrow. The tree and outside is pretty much finished, now unto other things like the mantle, train, etc.

I should also paint my ornaments.

It has been slower than before although the last couple of days have been busy.

I just got my final grade for my other class I got 91%, which means I got an A-. The other class I got an A The worst part about the grade is 7 out of the 9 percentage points I lost were because of errors using the APA formatting style not because I didn't do a good job on the work. I think that is pretty stupid as the class didn't teach me how to use those and I had never used them before.

The class guidelines say that Grammar, Spelling, APA Style· Points will not be given for this! However points may be deducted for poor grammar, poor spelling, and not following APA format. So grammar, spelling and APA formatting are only eligible for negative points. I think it is pretty stupid but what can I do about it. I lost 1-2 points on a few different assignments for different mistakes using this. I had never used APA before only MLA.

I haven't heard from Marci. I will have my BB today and post as soon as I do.

 

[PNO4TE]

Deb - Hunter's project is awesome! He (and you) should be proud.

Marci - still thinking of you

Kristine - the pictures are wonderful and I am glad you all have such a great vacation. You and Bill look amazing!!

 

[PNO4TE]

I'm glad that you're having such a good time. Can't wait for all the details. Are you able to pick up an internet signal or are you paying for internet? Maybe someone else will know the answer. Only wondering for future reference

I tried numerous times when we were at BCV in October, Deb. I had no luck getting online unless I paid for the service. I went into many locations in the resort too.

Jennifer, I'm loving all the pictures. That daughter of yours is one gorgeous little girl.

I agree! I am not much of a TV watcher but last night as I was watching the Food Channel there was a commercial that they ran OVER and OVER and OVER. The only thing that was good about it was that there is a little girl in it that looks like Olivia! It was a commercial for Manwich. Has anyone else seen it?

The red carpet has been rolled out! So get your gowns & good luck to everyone that participates!

1 extra set of batteries has always been enough for me.

I have three sets of batteries. As long as I have access to a charger every night, I've only every used 2 sets in one day.

Hi all...

Just checking in. We got home a couple of hours ago. It was a great trip!!! 11 days of fun!!!! Too bad the real world has to sneak in.

We watched the shuttle take of from the Poly beach last night. It was pretty amazing...Paul, Marti & Matt joined us and Dave & Christy and their girls (she hasn't posted here-but Vicki, Stephanie, Terry & Jennifer have met her)

I could have made a fortune selling these t-shirts....the kids kept track of which t-shirt got asked about the most

Here's a few pics...hope everyone is well!

Welcome back!! glad you had a good trip--love the pictures!
