Days comment:  After "dying" twice in the past couple years and leaving his wife twice, how can anyone not question it when he dies again?

I went shopping today.  Just a shirt, Christmas cards for next year, and I spent a gift certificate I received at Family Christian.  I started reading one of the books.  Let me vent here: (hey, it's my blog - by definition isn't it my place to vent?)  Why is dating considered such a bad thing in so many Chritian circles?   There is no where in the Bible where it says that God is going to give us anything let alone a spouse while we sit around twiddling our thumbs.  There are several places where it says God will bless those who plan.  And why is being poor in the country such a good thing?  Get this, maybe people who don't have to drive two hours to go to the store, I don't know, might have time to serve God or have money to allow others.  Sue me, I'm a child of the eighties mall.  Quite frankly, I enjoy it.

I'll sign off now before I bore anyone reading this to much.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!

It's finally here.  And I don't have to go to work until Tuesday.  Tomorrow is Koti's first Chritmas with us!  I hope your Christmas is great.

I am still tired from Winter Fest last night.  With no good reason.  It was cute, kinda kiddie but still nice.  And I sooo beat everyone in Scooby's Haunted Castle

Jean (with 'flashlight troubles) 150

Mom 250

Dad Right 310

Dad Left 520

Me 1050 - yes I am awesome

KI should add back the store where little kids can shop without adults.  Too cute.  And open the International Restaurant for everyone not just company parties.

 

Bye gotta go check my email!

Winter

Happy First Day of Winter!!

I sent out my email Christmas cards just before.  Last year I sent them out while I was waiting for Provident to finalize the check numbers since we were buried under 18 inches of snow.  It seemed well received so I thought I'd try it again.

Tomorrow I'm going to King's Island's Winterfest.  That was so much fun when I was little!  I'm hoping it will be just as much fun.  I asked Al if they were going to freeze the fountain on International Street.  He said yes and that a lot of people have been asking that.

I put a prologue to a Dirty Dancing story on fan fiction.net  I just got one comment. "This is really bad, etc."  Except in three sentences the person misspelled about 7 words.  I guess it wasn't updated quickly enough for a teenybopper.

I'll get off of work early.  Yes!  And I finished all my recs at work. Double yes!  Talk to you later.

Talk about Not gettin anywhere

Woke up this morning, I have a little bit of a sore throat, runny nose & headache.  Raise your hand if you think I'll have a cold by Christmas.  Of course the only Christmas I wasn't sick was the year Koly bit me.

So I decided to take the bank run and get home a little early.  Veg and hope not to get a full fledge cold.  So I left at 3:45.  I should have been home by 5.  I75 was closed part of the way.  Many seeminly unending backroads later I was in a long line at the bank with the tellers seeing how slow they could be.  I got home at 6:20.  Release a deep breath.

I downloaded pictures from my camera.  One good thing!  I figured out how to burn the files to a disk without yelling "Dadddyy"!  So then I started to load them to webshots.com (Check them out!)  I got the Riverfest, President's cup baseball game, Ichthus, Koti pictures, Michigan pictures, and the last two things I crossstiched pictures uploaded.  I just had my Laura Ingalls Wilder and Lamplighter pictures.  The LIW pictures were the ones I was really trying to upload so I could share them with the Frontier Girl message board. I selected 40 pictures.  Typed 40 descriptions.  Clicked upload, and 39 pictures and descriptions disappeared.  Pitiful sigh.  I think I'm going to go to be and hope tomorrow is better.

TGI...S?

Caryn Kadavy is not skating to 'Tango Italiano" Cool.  17 years after she got sick at the Olympics, she's still skating.  Not a bad career.

I really, really find Oksana Biaul & Alexei Yagudin incredibly over-rated.  Though Kurt is "Skate god for life"  He has incredible talent & just has such fun routines.

I got off of work at 1 today.  Did you ever feel like you are doing the same thing day, after day, after day, after day, after day without getting anywhere?

Went to dinner with Laura tonight.  Then we went back to her house and watched the newly released He-man and She-ra Christmas special.  Just so cheesy and fun.  Watch it.  This picture is from He-man.org.

I'm addressing Christmas Cards tonight.  Let me know if you want one.  Guess where I got these from?

I have over 100 views of this page!  Let me know who you are!  There's a little comment button at the bottom of this.  Use it!

 

 

Where does the time go?

Gee, I've been meaning to write more often, but I've had so much email that I don't have time by the time I finish reading it.  See I get email from the Skatefans yahoo group.  There can be 75 - 200 email a day.  Yeesh, that's a lot.

So I got back from Nashville.  It was fun.  Saw Jessica Simpson at my company Christmas party.   Better than expected.  Finished Christmas shopping.  Got the woman at work who hates Christmas two ornaments.  He he.  I know bad, but hey she hates me anyhow.

I have to write Christmas cards.  This would be easier if I hadn't lost my Christmas card list when my computer died last winter.

Can you believe it's only 8 days until Christmas?
