So - what if I nap & knit all day, then do laundry & dishes all night. That sounds like a doable, reasonable plan, right?

What a beautiful, sunny Saturday morning!

Knitting and Doctor Who as a break from my very crazy, busy day!

Huh. So there was a football game while I was watching Doctor Who? Gee, all those poor unfortunate souls that missed the awesomeness of 13 Doctors in order to watch 2 teams playing yet another game.

So our Green-bean delivery came On a different day than normal because of Thanksgiving. I forgot this & didn't have the empty bins out, which will likely cost me a small fee. Then, as I am unpacking the order, I discover that instead of the Snowville Gingimon and Vanilla yogurts, I have a plain yogurt and a sour cream. I called & they are refunding me & giving me an additional credit for the mistake. But now I have high quality, organic, local Snowville yogurt and sour cream that I normal...

Lucy: I'm a magical mermaid princess!Me: ooo! that sounds pretty neat!L: You can be the magical mermaid queen!Me: Too bad the queen is so busy!L: But that's what a queen does. She's very busy taking care of everything.

Ok - Tori Michel (Zach) and anyone else who was wondering about Christmas/Birthday ideas for the girls, they each have a wishlist under their own name at Toys R Us. These lists are just for giving good ideas. You can get these items (or similar ones) from any store and even gently used is OK. And BOOKS, of course, are always a winning idea, but I ran out of time to add some. Kevin Anderson,

Today I am so thankful for so many things, but especially for my wonderful husband who took the morning Nancy call & let me sleep in almost a whole extra hour

Happy Hanukkah! Today is full of celebrations!

Ed Kubisek and family -Thank you for the Christmas Little People. I have forbidden all other toys from the Livingroom & now the kids' mess can double as decorations

Didn't realize until a couple of days ago that I planned my open house for the same day as the OSU/Michigan game. Total planning fail. I wonder if even half a dozen people will end up coming?

So despite all the scheduling snafus, the party/open house went well. Tired, but happy & getting the girls to bed. Hey, Melanie Gilbert - does Dr Bob have a website?Good night world!

Our water has been smelling funny all morning. I'm wondering if I need to boil it? Is there something wrong with our pipes? How do I figure out if this is serious or not?

I have way more salad stuff, raw veggies (and dip), and lunchmeat left over from Saturday than we will ever use. Anyone wanna come over this week to help eat it up?

For any "Haunted Highway" fans, I backpacked in & around the Moonville Tunnel a couple times in my youth. Always loved the story, but never saw or heard anything. It's a neat area for hiking & camping. I'd love to go back and see what I could see & hear (natural and/or supernatural)

And this morning begins with a headache, followed by a preschooler who is VERY upset by the "ice day" that has canceled school. Sigh

Ok - a friend gave us some evergreen branches to use as decorations. I have spent some of my free time this week looking up ideas and trying to brain storm ideas of what to do. So far, no luck. Anyone want to come over & help me do something with them?

First cuppa tea is done. Time to groove!

As many of you know, I love Christmas music in a wide variety of styles. This morning in church, it occurred to me that many of my favorite Christmas carols/hymns are actually Advent songs. Something about the music of waiting & hoping that seems to appeal to me.

Up all night with sick baby. Will be calling Nancy's Dr as soon as office opens.

Didn't get up for the day until 9 Bad news - got up briefly at 7 to take meds for my aching sinusesGood(ish) news - not feeling too bad now and Nancy seems to be better enough to smile almost as much as usual

Was that lightening I just saw?

Rain rain go away!

Spent some time watching a Bon Jovi concert (DVR) with the girls in between various Disney movies. Discovered Nancy can now climb the couch on her own - and then tries to climb over the back of it, too! (eek!) Wayne informed me that it isn't safe to leave her alone in the living room until she learns NOT to do this (same for climbing the entertainment center, putting hands all over TV, getting into whatever current knitting project I have upstairs, etc) "So this means that for the next ...
