Time Flies

What a great week we all had as a family. It was just nice to be together, play games, eat good food, do fun things. We got to go bowling (grandpa won!--I think) ice skating-- can I just say half a lap and I thought I was going to die? Needless to say that lasted a whole 20 min. for me.
It was nice to look at Christmas lights on Christmas Eve. The weather was cool the first part of the week and that always feels more Christmas like to me. Then it got nice and warm so the kids could play outside.
My week of sleeping on the couch was not so bad! I slept pretty good! But I am really looking forward to my bed tonight.
Dad bought me an IPOD!! I do love it! I am listening to it right now. It is hard to keep my thoughts from being too jumbled.
We all missed my Mom. She just loved Christmas so much!
I have found another way in which I am like my mom-- I need to clean as much as possible! It helps me feel organized--or something.So after Drew and fam. left okay--even before they were gone I was cleaning! But my room/bathroom look GREAT!
The house is so quiet! What to do?!
I think I have another week off. Kaijsa will come and help me tear down Christmas. Who knows what I will do for New Year's Eve. Kaijsa wants me to go to a dance...hmmmnn. We'll see!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas-- and have a great New Years!

Hurry already

So-- now that I am back to hourly at work. (GRR!!!) I have time to prep for the family getting here on Sun. I woke up thinking I needed to make peanut butter popcorn. Maybe I should make it for breakfast! I hate that I wake up at 6:30 on my own. Does this mean I am getting old?
The weather has been so wacky. It will be in the 70's today and tomorrow... and then back to the 40's. ugh.
I really don't have anything to say-- just wanted you all to know I was still here!

the last 2 weeks

Thanksgiving came and went. Kaijsa was my big helper and helped me get all the Christmas decorations up. There are a few more things I would like to do-- we'll see if I get to it. It was so nice to have a long weekend! The food was GREAT! And I might add that my chocolate pie turned out really good!

Work has been okay. Not a lot of kids at Sylvan right now. Hopefully that will get better! Maybe not until after the holiday though! Right now it looks like I might get to take 2 weeks off at Christmas!! NICE.

This past weekend I got to go to another meeting down south. I now believe I know all about the towns down there-- and I can get around without getting lost now. Too bad I had to get lost so many times to figure things out! This time I thought I would be able to get in and out of the airport without any troubles. I just had my carry on.. well I didn't know that my rental car place was not at the airport. After waiting 20 min. I got picked up and then I had to wait for a guy to get off the phone. I think he felt bad for me so... .he gave me a Mustang Convertible to drive!!! It was quite fun. I found the hotel okay-- bed was comfy-- bathroom floor had a lot of hair on it! Found the center okay... meeting was good... but I got bad directions to the outlet mall-- so no shopping for me (sadness, I know).

So, now it is time to countdown until everyone gets here for Christmas. Dad and I are getting quite excited. I need to figure out what I will cook...hhmmnnn
