On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate this Tuesday a 9!

  1. Savannah is home sick today - missing her classroom Christmas party - and watching The Price is Right. I have so many memories of watching The Price is Right when I was home sick from school... I have to say, it's just not the same without Bob.
  2. I had to greet the Dish Network repairman this morning before I had my shower. Ugh. Can you say ugly? I hate having repairmen in my house - but especially when I look like a pathetic housewife who doesn't shower.
  3. How cute are those Coke polar bears? Seriously.
  4. Tejan flies to Seattle tomorrow to spend 6 days with friends there... we'll pick him up on Christmas Eve.
  5. The presents are about half wrapped. I decided a couple of years ago to forego the bows. They're expensive and they make it hard to stack packages. I put wired ribbon around a few packages, but I don't do bows anymore. Call me scrooge. I'm just not doing it.
  6. We're furniture shopping... Asia told me I could pick out a chair for the living room or a new kitchen table for my Christmas present... we probably won't buy anything until January when the sales are good and Costco gets in their big after-Christmas furniture shipments... I have a love/hate relationship with furniture shopping. It's just SO expensive. It makes me feel sick to my stomach.
  7. Asia and I started watching 'Duel' last night. I'm not much for evening game shows usually - but this one only goes for about a week and I like the format. However, I do not like how much time the host wastes keeping everyone in suspense. Sheesh. Get on with it.
  8. Sugar cookies today. Butter anyone? YUM!
  9. Nope. Not gonna make it to 10 today. Happy Tuesday, everyone!

    I'm with you on the whole trend in game shows and reality shows to keep you in suspense. Come on, folks. Get on with it. I refuse to watch these shows because I get so frustrated by it.

    I have fond memories too of The Price is Right. I loved the showcase showdowns. :)
    I long ago gave up on adding bows too. Haven't seen Duel yet, but the boys are enthralled with Deal or No Deal. I think they just like saying it. :)

    I don't even wrap anymore. Here in Argentina they wrap all the packages when you buy them. That isn't just for Christmas it is all year long. Yippee.

    This is how I found out that Lucille Ball had died- I was home sick in 8th grade maybe and after the credits rolled, her years of life flashed on the screen.
    Anyways, we don't do bows either, but only because little ones are atrracted to them and tear those bad boys right off. Can you say digital nametags?

    I do bows, just because I like to make pretty ones! It's a compulsion... the gift isn't 'as good' without pretty bows!! :) Many a Christmas the kids got only 1 or 2 gifts, so the prettier the package the more magical! I got new furniture for the first time in my whole adult life last summer! No more couch covers!!! The price made me sick...ugh, but I was SO thrilled.. still am! and Bob... oh Bob. I do miss Bob.

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...
