Bon Voyage

John and I are getting to go on a cruise this weekend. We'll be back just in time to ring in the new year. Will tell you all about it.... hope I don't get sea sick!

Here's my sweety pie... just love her expressive eyes.

It's official

I am going to start transfering all of my old posts over to this new site. It will take quite some times, so be patient.

Koi

Wow, has it been almost two weeks since my last post? I've been busy with getting ready for Christmas that I forgot to stop in and post.

On a sad note, about a month ago, my orange koi fish died. We had him since we moved to this house more than five years ago. I brought him home when he was just a couple of inches long. Then he grew and grew and grew.... I think he was more than 13 inches long before his passing. He loved to eat; he would actually came right to the edge of the pond and practically ate right out of my hand. He also loved to leap out of the water, and his last leap landed himself onto the waterplants, out of water... you know what happen to fish out of water. :-( John found him and took care of it.

This picture was taken during the summer (that's him on the left). John wanted to get me another koi, but I'm not ready yet.

Changing over

I'm thinking about changing over to this blog. Testing to see how quickly I can figure out how to manage this post and with pictures.

ELFAMORPHOSIS

I was unwinding and surfing the net the other night and came across this hilarious site by OfficeMax. "Elf Yourself". Check this out...

Unfortunately, you can do only up to 4 people, and there are five of us. I put the kids and me in and sent it over to John for a good laugh. This has been Hannah's favorite thing to do lately... elfing family and friends and even our pets. Take a look at this one....

TGIF

I'm soooo glad that it's Friday, and the week is finally over!

I volunteered this year to be the chairperson for the HOLIDAY GIFT SHOP at Hannah's school (didn't really know what I got myself into at the time). The program sponsored by the school PTA and designed to allow the student to come and shop for their parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, or anyone whom they wish to buy gifts for for Christmas. The kids really get excited over this, and they also learned important lessons on counting, budgeting, and consumerism while they shop. A lot of the kids, even the younger ones, are quite a shopper. They came in, knew exactly what to buy, whom to buy it for, leave with bags in their hands, and big smiles on their faces.

Hannah's class came in today. There were a couple items that I hinted to her that I would like to receive, but she might had something else in mind.....it's a big secret. As soon as we got home from school, Hannah secretly wrapped everything and placed everything on the table next to the tree. (We can't put anything under the tree yet, just in case, the little doxies get into it.) Soooo, we will have to wait 'til Christmas to find out what she picked out for us.

Thanks to the other volunteers and especially to Sandie, PTA President, who was there and helped me everyday, the Holiday Boutique was a success. BUT, I HAD NEVER WORKED SO HARD IN MY LIFE!! I'm just simply exhausted.

Honeeeeyyy.... where's my cocktail? *LOL*

There is a box for me!

We've been so busy lately that no one remembered to walk out to the mailbox to get the mail. I finally swung by it this afternoon. My mailbox was so full that the mailman had to put the regular mail in with the larger mailbox for packages, and there it is, my box from my Secret Sister. It came from Sunset, Utah, with no name in the return address.

Since it my birthday tomorrow, I will wait to open it tomorrow. *U* What a nice birthday present! *te he*

I promise that I'll post pictures this weekend.

Anime Self-Portrait
