People in Snowflakes?

Today I learned that Kindergarteners believe that snowflakes house small beings – the argument is only over whether there are people or bugs living in the snowflakes. Also, all penguins live in igloos. My sister is a saint for molding those young minds.

Woke up feeling good today – probably because I got several hours more sleep than the rest of the world. It’s so hard to wake up and be motivated when it still looks like the middle of the night at 9:00 am. Anyway, I went through the morning ritual – checked my work e-mail. (That’s always a little bit scary, because I’m still fairly uncomfortable with my job. It’s so random) Anyway, then I hit the treadmill for a half hour of “intervals”. I was still feeling good until after my shower… then I fought off grogginess the rest of the day. I did get my video watched for work, though. And I got my assignments graded for the participants receiving credit back during conference. … am I really writing about this? Boring.

I did walk to the baler today. Not unlike home, I love going to the dump here. 😉 It’s only a couple of blocks away, but it’s a good few minutes outside anyway. I later walked down to the post office with a bunch of business stuff / bills.

Talked to Ape and Lo. Ape and Trish were heading over to Steve F’s for pizza tonight. That sounds like a good night! Lo shared some tips courtesy of Rachel Rae. Not unlike myself, Rachel believes you should never buy canned spaghetti sauce as making your own is much cheaper and better.

I got busy working on a Christmas present for the girls. One part of it is creative, the other part needs to be purchased. I’m just praying the store I’m heading to in Anchorage next week will have what I’m looking for – otherwise the plan is foiled. Oh yeah, I found out TODAY that I have to have a “white elephant” gift for my team meeting in California next week. The point is to pick something from your house that you don’t want anymore – hey, we’re pretty much down to the bare minimum here as it is! Whatever.

I think tomorrow I will post my “Christmas List” blog. I can’t even believe how quickly the season is approaching OR how difficult it is for me to come up with things I want!!!! Let’s hear it for world peace.

I’m obviously getting a little jumpy. Probably a good time to go see if Bill has packed the right stuff for his trip tomorrow. (He’s actually a much better packer than I am… I will be leaving with 2 full suitcases next Monday!)
