Brought to you by the word NO

Sheesh.  For every question today, the answer is no.

Not only a blog slacker, but also a housework slacker, an interior decorator slacker, and a homework-checker slacker.

1) I haven't vacuumed since (I think) Christmas Eve.
2) Christmas tree and surrounding decor?  Still up (she says with total embarrassment).
3) JS's homework had answers in every single blank, so it's complete, but not sure if it's correct.

Had to work late last night to help with a big ole mass mailout.  Left the office at 7:15, got home to a phat plate of chicken & cheese nachos courtesy of the husband.  Then NCIS and a little bout of insomnia until about 12:30 a.m., and back up this morning to start another day.

Hope your Wednesday is a wonderful one!  xoxo

KC and the Sunshine Band

KC and the Sunshine Band's song "Shake Your Booty" makes the kids laugh!  They don't really know the rest of the words, but they can sure say the word BOOTY very loud!  We had a good time laughing & singing while driving to school.

:)

No snow this time

No snow as of 10:54 p.m.  There isn't any more rain coming, so unless it stays cold until the next batch of rain arrives, we're going to have to catch the snow somewhere else.

Because it BETTER not stay this cold for much longer....

On Snow Watch

The weather people have been saying it's going to be so cold today, if it happens to rain, we'll be getting snow!  OMG! On the news this morning, they showed pictures that people sent in with small snowmen on the hoods of their cars! (That was from Ocala, I think.)  One was so tiny that his arms were made of toothpicks, haha.

So right now we're on snow watch.  From the weather radar, it looks to me that the rain has missed or will miss us.  Wah!  Of course, since the weather is always subject to change, there's always a chance that we're going to make our own snowman!

Paw Pedicure

Over a week ago--when the kids were at home during Christmas vacation--I noticed that Tokyo's toenails were painted.  I asked Caroline if she had painted them, and she said, "Yes!  Red on her right and blue on her left." 

I hope Miss Jones doesn't begin putting on airs because of this.....

Farewell to Erica Lee

My favorite radio morning show team was broken up today with the unexpected firing of Erica Lee from MIX 105.1.  Her co-host (who sounded devastated, really) said the station had told her they were going in a different direction.

Um, that would be south.  *thumbs down*

Erica was like the best girlfriend ever--a great example of Girl Power.  She was smart, opinionated, and so very funny. She was straightforward and didn't mind sharing her views, yet she made it clear they were HER views and acknowledged that some people wouldn't agree with her and that was all right with her.   She was considered a steadfast fixture in a whole lot of peoples' morning schedule.

I know the other DJs in the morning can still do a great job.  It's going to be a lot different, though. Thanks, Erica Lee, for a memorable 19 years!

Glittery

Very chilly-willy the last few days.  This morning my car had ice on it.  It looked like it had silver glitter all over it.  Pictures aren't too great but it sure was pretty!  I guess I can always relate everything to scrapbooking *somehow*

I've heard we might even get some snowflakes tomorrow night.  I'll take a bunch of pix to ensure one or two good ones, lol.

Headaches and Calendars

Had a headache yesterday.  You know, the kind that sorta subsides when you take something but never really goes away all the way, and then when the 6-8 hours goes by, it's still there?!  So I broke out the Motrin 800 at about 2:00 am and finally got back to sleep.  This morning I was a little afraid to move because I was skeered it would still be throbbing.  Thankfully, it wasn't.

I was happy that I wasn't behind and under the gun at Christmas time.  I do feel behind now, though. It feels weird that it's already Jan. 6 and I do not have all of my new calendars hung up.  I wrote the birthdays, anniversaries, etc. on the main one we hang in the kitchen, and I put up on in the bedroom, and dat's it for now.

Shall try to post later with a picture or two, perhaps.  :)

Jan 4 2010

Not off to a very good start on the blogging in the new year.  How about some useless stats to compensate? ;-)

In 2009 my total number of posts was 324.  I divided that by 365 days per year, and the amount came out to .8876.  Or, to put it a different way, I blogged roughly 89% of the time.  The fact that some days were multiple posts to keep up the post count was completely disregarded for these calculations.

Still ... not bad for an old blog slacker!

Wishing a happy birthday with love to Papa (kids singing in background and asking about ice cream) !!!

2010

The end of a thing,
is never the end,
something is always being born,
like a year or a baby.
