  • here

    I'm here, just been rather...blah.  I fought a sinus headache off and on for about five days.  It made the days much longer then necessary.  LOL

    The kids have been enjoying the quad, and there Christmas toys.

    Rob and I have been enjoying watching our Christmas pressy's to each other.  I bought him the Unit, and he bought me the first season of Fantasy Island.  They are both being enjoyed.  We love watching tv this way without the commercials.  Rob had never seen any of the Unit, but is thoroughly enjoying it.  I bought the Second Season Christmas Eve night when I realized his gift wasn't coming.   I also knew that its a series you can watch and start in the middle.  And we have.

    I think when Febuary comes around I'll probably pick up the first season for him.  (Valentines Day)

    I got an email on Friday saying what I originally bought him was being shipped.  I'll believe it when I see it. 

    And if it comes, then I'll tell you who was selling it, and what I think of their shipping.  *snort*

    My dad bought me a nice jeans coat from Walmart on Saturday.  It's not fancy, but its perfect for what I need, and my zipper went out on my winter coat, so it was also a rather necessary purchase.  I'm thinking of fancying it up by doing a little embroidery on it.  I haven't decided for sure or not though.

    My dad fell asleep on his way home Saturday and woke up a foot from the guard rail and a fifty foot plunge into a very deep lake.  He was extremely shaken.  And we both decided God still has some stuff for him to learn--and do.  It'll be intresting to see what it is...

    We are in love with Samuel's lizard.  He's even a better pet then the turtle, as he likes to be held, and climb up us.  He's stilla  Houdini, and he climbs a lot.  So we have to make sure the lid gets closed every single time.

    I was offered money to do cornrows for someone.  I guess that means I'm mastering them.  LOL  I picked up some olive oil goop in the black hair care section and redid Zeria's cornrows Saturday night.  It is awesome stuff, and her braids still look great.  She should be able to leave them in for several weeks.  I might have this finally mastered.  My rows aren't as small as a lot of peoples, but Zeria's hair isn't typical black hair its a lot more fine as she's not  full black, so I'm not sure how much smaller I could get them and have them stay in, but I'll keep experimenting. 

    Next time I'm gonna experiment with some more creative parts.  And I really should take a picture of the latest doo, as it finally looks like I meant for it to look.  *snicker*

    Other then that, just enjoying life.

    No baton and no Awana for one more week.  Its been a nice break, but the kids and I are both missing both.

  • I think sinus is a problem right now for everyone that suffers from them no matter what part of the country you live in.  I haven't gotten bad but had that nagging headache for several days.  Other friends sound like they are talking from a barrel so glad I haven't had that ..... knock on wood.

    Glad your dad wasn't injured or worse.  Wonder if he "got the message"? 

    How does she wash her hair with all the oil and rows?  I've always wondered that when I see corn rows but have never had the guts to ask.

  • I am so glad your dad woke up when he did. Goodness!

    And ryc... you rock! Yes, Steve, thus Eric, gets the quad, which really bites. Steve has also placed his claim upon pretty much all of Mom Duff's pictures in the house -- they seem to be worth something after she had an appraisal done on her two oldest. We'd had an agreement and he changed his mind on the last visit. He's also upset that I get her rubies and Laurie gets the opals. I'm like... hey! I'll take the opals instead! Or... you can have them all... I did ask for only one thing and that's a very cheap set of oval pix of a farm and his wife doing harvest thanksgiving prayers. LOL. I dunno. Jeff and I are all just ready to let him take it all and while we don't like it, it might be better. He's always complained we've gotten better and if that's his delusion and illusion... *shrugs* Whatever. Eh.

  • My friends told me that cornrows are a lot like making lots of tiny French braids.  I don't know if it is that simple, but it helped me comprehend the whole process.  thanks goodness for boys.  ha!

    Yes, I agree that it isn't your Dad's time. I have a sign up that "God isn't finished with me yet."

    Happy New Year.
