hey Vyrus, nice to see you!

well, I got the choir rehersals out of the way and now only have the actual performance to do on Sunday I kinda miss being in the art part of it...it was so fun...

I've been really busy at work lately, I guess it's because of the Holidays or something

my friend is coming over tonight and we're gonna celebrate that time traveler thing tomorrow

and we're gonna toast marshmallows (not that that has anything to do with time travel)


also, my sister moved back in my grandparent's house again I don't think she'll ever make up her mind, but she is taking me Christmas shopping at Ft. Smith, AR next week it's all good

Vy!

I got most of my Christmas shopping done today. And I got myself a new copy of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on DVD (it was on sale for a little over $7) -- so my sister can keep my old copy.

that's so generous of you, GR. i bet Caleb likes watching your original copy. (or he will someday)

ANY event is the right event for roasting marshmallows, flame! my brother Joe used to do em on a fork with a bic lighter right in the living room when we were kids.

i'm sorry you've been so busy at work.

my kids made me lists for online stuff so i've been done with theirs for a while now. most of it has already been delivered even.

i got my sister's token gifts out of the way yesterday, & i got Keesha a little gift. now i just gotta get Mom's & i'll be all done. i know what i'm getting her, so it shouldn't be a problem.

i hate xmas.

i still gotta do my cards. i'm so behind.

the board was messed up earlier, but it seems better now. i hope it stays good...

Slightly tasteless image alert!

i love that!

this is a picture of Oklahoma...



i hope it doesn't look like that at flame's house. there are like 1/2 a million people without power in OK.

yikes! I'm glad it missed us! (and you too biff)


I love that marshmallow pic Fire

good to hear you got most of your Christmas shopping done GR 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' is such a cute movie! I bet your sister will love it! (and it saves you a little cash for Christmas shopping, right?

and it's also good to hear that you got some shopping out of the way too biff the Holidays are so stressful sometimes...

the Christmas Pageant went pretty good Sunday, I'll have to post some pics sometime, my choir robes were like 2 sizes too big!

my Choir instructor saw one of my drawings and asked me if I would draw him something, I had art requests fom my friends too, but I told him I'd follow the age-old rule of "Oldest First"

I got an early Christmas present today, my freshman friend Katy got me Stephen Colbert's book, 'I Am America (And So Can You!)' she's such a sweetie, I'll have to get her something speacial when I go shopping sor gifts this week

age before beauty, huh?

i got an early present yesterday too!

Mom told me yesterday that my oldest sister Bernadette is coming for Christmas! she lives in Hot Springs. i can't even remember the last time she came for Christmas.

too bad she's bringing her husband. (j/k... or am i?)

i gotta get galoot on the prayer chain today. he's sick as a dog.

i gotta get my wrapping & cards done this week, cuz next week i'll probably be sick too.

Sorry to hear about galoot, biff. I hope he gets better soon...

The new banner pic is neat, by the way.

She borrowed it quite a while ago -- I don't even know if the disc is still in good working order or if it's still got its case. My parents and I have got some other things for her anyway, now that she's into knitting. (BTW, today is her birthday and we got her some stuff for that, but we have no idea when or if she's going to visit us...)

my Mom knits. all i can do is crochet.

so... i decided we're moving.

i barely slept a wink last night.

well, I can't knit OR crochet

oh I'm sorry you didn't sleep well last night biff, and also sorry galoot is sick too...I guess it's all this cruddy weather (we're getting pummeled with rain in Eastern Oklahoma, is it the same there?) anyways, I hope he gets well soon!

wait...closer or farther?

also, that's really neat that your sister's birthday is so close to the Holidays GR Happy B-day to her!

your older sister lives in Hot Springs biff? cool! I've actually been there a few times! glad to hear she's visiting for Christmas

I got to sing at a bank today with the choir I'm not used to performing...it makes me so nervous!

just one more week until Christmas break...I can hardly wait!

Thanks, flame.

That's cool about the choir thing -- I take it the performance went well...

for choir!

i'm not moving to a different house. we're moving to the alternate board. didn't you get the email(s)? ((yeah, i accidentally sent it twice))

i think you're already joined up there. here's the link again: http://tmbgtalk3.ipbfree.com/

i'm closing this board to new posts on January 1. it'll still be here as an archive though.

& everybody can add their post count from here over there after the 1st, if they want.

i could take it no more.



galoot's doing a lot better today. i think he's turned the corner. so far i'm staving it off. i hope i don't come down with it till after tomorrow, cuz i have a haircut appointment.

ps... is it just me, or is everybody seeing a big ugly chunk of whiteness with teeny tiny text at the bottom?

yet another reason to move!

Yeah, I see it too. Ugh.
