<----I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

<--Runs in late -- AGAIN
<--Hopes <--doesn't get a demerit --hehe
<--Is kind of punchy today. Went to bed WAY too late.
<--Went to ballet last night, which is from 7:30-9 p.m. When <--got home, DH was sitting on sofa (by unfolded basket of clothes <--had strategically placed before <--left for ballet), and kiddos were running wild. At 9:25 p.m. Ugh.
<--After tucking in kiddos, straightening up house <--treated herself to <--'s favorite show Jon & Kate Plus 8 (on TLC) and a big bowl of berries -- at 11 p.m. mind you. So <--is TARRED today.
<--Has to do cleanmax today and tomorrow because <--'s mom and sis are coming over Thursday to have bake-a-palooza.
<--Wonders if <--'s mom will be able to function in <--'s tiny cottage kitchen.
<--Wants to share a quick story with yous all about the wonderfulness of Cathe. Will leave <--speak momentarily: So, I go to ballet class every Monday night, and I am the largest person in my class. Apparently, a size 8 is a cow for a ballerina. So, anyway, everyone had very low expectations of me. As did I. I haven't danced since I was 16. (danced from age 3-16, though). And the majority of these gals/guy are in their 30s and were semi-professional. So, they always have SO much trouble with relevés (sp?) -- which essentially are just calf raises in all of the ballet positions. I whiz through them every time. I'm starting to earn some respect, I think. Yey. Thanks, Cathe!!! Had I not been doing those raises with 12 pound weights on Cathe's DVDs, there's NO WAY I could keep up. So, now, I'm going to start the Wednesday "advanced" class in January. I feel like a kid again.
<--Apologizes for self-absorbity.
<--Just knows you guys can appreciate such accomplishments much more than my DH who just nods his head and calls <--a dork.
<--Sends everyone hugs. Big, squishy, Christmastime bearhugs -- and a gentle hug for Ms. Muffie
<--Tells Amelia to HAVE A PIECE OF CAKE. It's your DD's bday!!! But don't do like <-- did two weeks ago with kiddo's bday cake and eat substantial portiion of it. Ugh.
<--Tells Shelley that <--is so proud of Sophie for talking to the vice principal about her troubles. It takes a brave person to do that.
<--Thinks Shelley is a great mom.
<--Dreads the pre-teen years when kids can be so mean.
<--Sends Liann tall glass of water
<--Sends everyone with snow a self-addressed, stamped tub to fill up and return to <-- FULL of snowy goodness
<--Has always wanted to live where it snowed on a regular basis in the winter. (sigh)
<--Must go brew some coffee
<--BBL
<--Is sorry for opus post
<--Adores you all!
 
<---Thinks Steph is uber cool and loves to hear about her ballerina class!
<---Thinks your accomplishments are GREAT!
<---Hopes she has fun baking with your family! GRINS!
<---Also thinks that all with too much snow can feel free to send me all your leftovers.
<---Is an official ice/snow queen...sorry (hangs head in shame) :)
<---Gives Steph a big squishy hug right back with a WET WILLY
<---Exclaims what a way to start your day (does that rhyme?)
<---Exits stage left...
 
<--promptly wipes ear and yells, EWWWWWW!!!! MELISSA!!!!
<--Thanks Melissa for sweet words
<--Thinks Melissa is uber cool snow queen (except for the wet willies, yuck!)
<--Is very excited about Thursday's baking
<--'s mom has been sick, so <--hopes she's well enough to come.
<--Wonders if Robin the master baker has any cookie recipes she could share with <--?
 
<---high fives Crusty Stephanie for her ballet prowess
<---thinks it's cool that Stephanie showed up the ballet snobs in her class
<---has gobs a good recipes, but is at work now
<---is pretty sure <--posted a couple of my favorites last Christmas and bets Stephanie could find them with a search
<---shared Walnut Frosties and Almond Butter Bars recipes and knows others liked them
<---tried to ship a Deluxe Snowman in a Box to Ronne, but it wouldn't pass customs
<---says Mr Customsman didn't like the suspicious drip from the box
 
<--Bake-a-palooza is off :(
<--'s mom is still sick and <--'s neice is recovering from strep
<--is going to Disneyworld day after Christmas and doesn't want to catch any bugs, so no bake-a-thon
<--Will make <--'s boys bake with me
<--Will bribe them with cookie dough and bowls to lick.
<--LOL at Robin's Deluxe Snowman quandary.
 
<--- comes in with a {{{{{BIG SQUEEZY HUG}}}}} for Miss Sophie
<--- put a curse on the pint-sized evil doers
<--- wants to know if snowman delivery includes set up or if <--- would have to do that herself
<--- only wants a snowman and no other snow
<--- isn't baking a darn thing
<--- will put a curse on anyone who gives her a cookie :p :7
<--- has a butt glue problem and needs the solvent NOW
<--- has so much to do today but would rather take a nap
<--- offers a big ole chessy grin and best wishes to the OAL gang:*
 
<---Thinks she has the humor of a young boy...farts, wet willies and other boyish pranks make me laugh! :) HAHAHAHAHA
 
<---Is sad that the baking party is off but thinks it is better to play it safe...LYSOL soaked cookies cannot be good for tummies! :) BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
 
><--- will put a curse on anyone who gives her a cookie :p :7

<---uh oh
<---warns Michele not to open any packages she may get from PA

<--- ETA that she is actually quite pleased about having some yummy home baked goodness from Robin's kitchen
<--- is seriously behind on her day but just can't seem to get it in gear

<--- ETA a big thank you to Melissa for the BGR :7
 
<---getting bored here at work
<---is all done and still has an hour and a half to try to look busy
<---should start packing up Deluxe Snowman in a Box kits
<---didn't realize there would be such a demand
<---tells you that if you order one and just get a seemingly empty box, just follow the directions about adding water and freezing
<---should probably start advertising the item as an "Instant" Deluxe Snowman in a Box
 
<--- thinks Robin will have to put "some assembly required" on the snowman kits
<--- thanks everyone for their lovely thoughts for Sophie
<--- tells Stephanie to send <--- her e-mail address and <--- will send Stephanie the Cathe cookie book (which contains the walnut frosties recipe which is one of <---'s new fave cookies!)
<--- is high fiving Steph on the ballet class finesse;)
<--- gives Michele a gentle shove out the door
 
<--- is back to say <--- just received a very lovely e-mail from the mother of one of the girls involved in the bullying incident
<--- is thrilled to see that the other girls' parents are, so far, reacting appropriately
 
<--Just woke from nap with King Henry.
<--ADORES naps
<--figured "why not" since baking party is off and there's no hurry to clean house
<--Must now work on other major project that <--has been putting off
<--'s minister asked <--to get up at Wednesday night services (which I never attend) and tell a story from <--'s favorite Christmas past.
<--HATES public speaking
<--Cannot even remember one extra remarkable Christmas from <--'s past to talk about specifically
<--Should talk about when <--'s sons were born (both in Dec.), but those were crummy Christmases filled with spit-up, sleep deprivation and hostility toward DH for not having a uterus of his own.
<--Wonders if any of you have a good story <--could "borrow"
<--thinks that may not be appropriate thing to do for church project
<--sigh
<--Encourages you all to summons memory muses my way
 
<--is really super hell uber proud of the ballet beeeyotch
<--is disturbed that size is deemed moo moo like
<--calls in DN who is the master of the super authentic sounding hand fart to entertain Melissa
<--loves Michele's sooper squishy hugs
<--is awaiting Robinella's dope fresh crunk baked goods
<--thinks she should send a nice warm batch with a glad of moo to Sophie
<--recalls the Snoopy book "Have Another Cookie. It Will Make You Feel Better"
<--thinks Snoopy always makes <-- feel better
 
<---joins Robin in being bored at work
<---still has another 2 hours to go and isn't sure she can make it...
<---lol at all the snowman shipping talk
<---agrees that dry ice would work well
<---says that is what her frozen mice always come packed in (LOL)
<---has actually had a shipment of Utah steaks and "Iced Rodents" come on the same day... nice...
<---promises she has a separate freezer for the snakes' food!
<---was weak today and ate a piece of yellow cake for a co-worker's birthday
<---adds that there is a chocolate coconut creme pie out there calling her name too...must be strong...
<---wonders if everyone is done with their Christmas shopping?
<---has one more gift card to buy and then is totally done - phew...
<---is still bored...
 
<---Feels deep sympathy for Steph
<---Has no advice for Steph other than to imagine the audience naked...<---always does that and consistently delivers wonderful stories :)
<---Has a horrible memory and has enough of a problem remembering what she ate for dinner yesterday much less stories of Christmas past... :)
<---Says the only thing she remembers was my cheesy Dad saying "Hey...what is that noise?...I think it is the reindeer on the roof!" it still makes me smile :)
<---Loves naps too! :) Catch a few winks for me...
 
<---Thanks Beavs for the hand fart....ahhhh, <---can almost feel the love! :) BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
<---Agrees that Snoopy can make ANYBODY feel better (nods head)
 
<---Joins the "bored at work" club
<---Is telling self...three more, three more days
<---Thinks she can find some frozen field mice in my alfafa field if anyone is interested...wait...this sounds like an small business opportunity, EBAY perhaps? ;)
<---Finished Christmas shopping a couple of weeks ago...very relieved
<---Went to Walmart yesterday and observed the madness, too much for me! :)
<---Is singing Christmas carols in my very lonely office...how tragic! :)
