*Sighs*

Things I want to do on my vacation -

1. Read - Why do I laze around when I could use the time to read????
2. Sew - I have so much I want to make - and my silly sewing machine had to up and get mad at me! *Sighs and shakes head* What a time to choose to not work right!

Things I need to do -

1. Clean house
2. Clean A.C.'s apartment
3. Drop off passport application and get that all set
4. Put the Christmas cards I wrote out into the mail - yes, I know it's after Christmas, but what can I say? ;-)

~~~~~~~~~

Although today was a bit of a flop, I did get the two baby blankets I am making finished, and spent some time with Kay just being silly and then watching a movie - haven't done that with her in a while, so I guess today wasn't a TOTAL flop! ;-)

Ok, I'm tired! Off to bed!! :-) (VIDEO CHAT WITH BEE TOMORROW!!! EEEP! :OD).

My Christmas Snickers has a lot to fix today...

You know those days when you go to bed excited about all you are going to do the next day, and you wake up with the same feeling, and then you try to get out of the wrong side of the bed and hit the wall instead? Yeah, that sums my day up! (I didn't really hit the wall, it's just how I feel.).

So much for sewing, and cleaning, and cooking. It's only 12:45pm and I am already despairing of life. These are the days I wish I had school just so I would have somewhere to go and get something - anything - done! Here the house is messy, and my sewing machine is broken, and Mom's hates me. (Mom's sewing machine I mean!).

Happiness - I have Snickers bars!

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!
Tonight I was one of Santa's Elves and wrapped lots of presents (Bags and tissue paper rock! WOOT! ;-)), and stuffed seven stockings!!!
It used to be my Mom did it all - well, ok, I guess Dad might have helped her a bit with carrying things down the stairs! ;-) But as long as I can remember, my Mom has had stocking fruit hiding in the basement long before I even would think about it - doing laundry at our current house, you'd have to make sure you keep your eyes on the laundry because not far from you would be bags of things, and something MIGHT be peaking!!! ;-) (One time we even kept a bunny rabbit down there for my sister!!! The rest of us had lots of fun visiting it before Christmas morning actually came! ;-)).
But this year, my Mom was asking me what she should buy for the stockings, and we went shopping together for the stuff, and then she went to bed while I did it! Poor dear must be very tired! <3 For the last couple years I've started to do much more of the wrapping, and stuffing, and I really enjoy it! :-) I love making the living room look really special for the morning, just like my Mom used to do! I like stuffing the stockings with fun stuff Mom bought, and I like it if she doesn't feel that she has to do it all alone (she still usually does feel like that until I remind her - I'm going to help you!!! Hehe!).

So, this started out as a Buzz status, but it seemed like it would make a good blog post, so there you go! :-) Now you all get to read it! :-)

Tonight we had clam chowder for dinner, and then sat around the fire we made in our living room fire place while drinking egg nog, reading the Christmas story, and singing Christmas hymns! Very nice! :-) All Christmas eve traditions! Although, we haven't done the clam chowder tradition for several years since my Aunt Colleen started having her wonderful Christmas eve parties, but this year was different, so clam chowder was very nice to have too!!! :-) It brings to mind how when I was little we used to go do the Christmas pageant at Church, and then come home to clam chowder - yum! :-)

Merry Christmas all!! I hope it is beautiful and magical for you, and that you remember that Jesus and family are the reason for the celebration!!! <3 <3 :-) (So go make people you love feel loved by gifts, and or cards, or just and I love you if that's all you can afford!! :-) And as you give each other gifts that the greatest gift of all was Jesus!!!! :-)).

Grades aren't everything I guess...

Found out today I totally failed my evaluation!!! (The one I cried after, remember?). Phooh... No ASL 4 for me this year... Oh well, going to meet with the director and talk about my "options"... Only like 4 people passed, so I don't feel quite as bad. :-P I'll live anyways! :-)

Oh an up note, my little sponsor girl sent me a letter which I received today!!! AWWW!!! :OD Made my day!!!!!! I love her sooo much! I hope I can meet her someday!!! <3

Grades!

Oh, and I forgot to say in my last post that I got all my grades back today!!! :-) And I passed Deaf Culture!!!!!! EEEP!!!! :OD :OD Sooooo happy about that!!! (I passed all my classes, but that one was my big achievement! ;-)).

And just because I feel like posting a video! :-)

Maybe not is right! :-P

As I was crawling around on the floor of the movie theater patting around trying to find my lost cell phone that had fallen out of my pocket, I began to wonder what it would be like to be one of you normal people, who don't have such silly things happen to them! (Thankfully only Janna saw me!!! Hehe!). I truly do wonder at myself sometimes! I mean, everyone else seems to always be so cool and collected, and I'm always the one to trip in front of random people, spill my drink on them or myself, drop food in my lap, drop my cell phone in random places, loose my keys several times in one day, burst into tears in front of people, make little kids start going crazy just by looking at them, tell all my embarrassing stories to everyone I talk to, and then wonder WHY ON EARTH I just told them that???
*Sighs*

Anyways, had a fun day yesterday with a Peppermint Hot Chocolate chat with Janna and then "Tangled", then today I have a video chat with Livy, and phone chat with Sam, and now Bible study with Bee!!! :OD So fun to catch up with all the girls!! <3

Is it really...?

Is it really Sunday again? Has the week really gone by already? It took so long, and yet flew by, and suddenly it is the beginning of Christmas week!

Cherish every moment of your life! Give glory to God, and bless others! :-)

Enjoy your week!
