Another Busy Day

We had planned a busy day, but things happened and made it busier. Ain't that always the way? We got up an had breakfast and got ready for church. We were almost ready to leave when the toilet stopped up and started flooding everything in sight. The plumbing in this house sucks. We soaked up all the... Sign in to see full entry.

BUSY Day!

Despite sleeping late today, I did a lot. We got up about 8 and dragged around until 10-ish, when we all started feeling hungry. So I made omelets and stuffed them with the leftover cheese fonude from last night. They were good. Then, while the kids played their new Playstation games (the console... Sign in to see full entry.

A Fun "Adventure"

I treated myself and the children to an "adventure" tonight. I warned them before we went that they would have to be on their very very best behaviour... but that I would take them someplace where they could cook all their own food for supper. And then we went to The Melting Pot. If you've never... Sign in to see full entry.

Tired -- But for a Good Reason

It's midnight. I'm still up. I would have been in bed hours ago, except that I had to bake rolls tonight. Unexpectedly. It seems that the home-made whole-wheat rolls I made for the company holiday lunch last week were a big hit. Such a big hit that when one of our employees, who was on vacation last...

Evaluating My 2005 Resolutions

These are the resolutions that I made at the beginning of 2005, and, as I prepare to face 2006, it's time to see how well I did, and what needs to carry over into the new year. I will spend more time with my children, taking them to the zoo and to the park, reading to them, and just revelling in... Sign in to see full entry.

A Short Work Week

And a busy one. With my co-worker out until she has recuperated from her C-section and the loss of her baby (probably six weeks), and the holiday madness, the week is going to be very busy. My boss had a project ready when I got to the office this morning, and I worked hard on it --- and a bunch of... Sign in to see full entry.

It Was a Good Holiday

We went to my mother's and spent three days and two nights there. I went to the Christmas Eve service at my church -- it was neat: we did a communion service that was entirely sung, and all of it was set to the tunes of familiar Christmas carols. It was really nice and a great way to start the... Sign in to see full entry.

Over the River and Through the Woods...

To grandmother's house we go... Well, to my mom's anyway. My grandmother will be there. I'm off to help my mom get her house ready for Christmas celebration. I finally got all the gifts wrapped (except the two last-minute ones that I had shipped to her house -- I'll just wrap them there). And got my... Sign in to see full entry.

What a Day

Not what I had planned, but a very satisfying day, in any case. I went to work, of course. Spent the morning working hard, and then we had the corporate office Christmas lunch. It's a potluck, where one of the CEOs makes the entree (this year, it was gumbo), and everyone else brings side dishes and... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Almost Here

and I am so totally not ready. While I do finally have all of the gifts bought, they haven't all been delivered yet. And they are not anything like all wrapped yet. Oh well, it will all happen somehow. Tomorrow is the company holiday party, which means we will all get to work at 8, put in a good,... Sign in to see full entry.
