This is my 100th post. I've been dragging my feet in posting, because I felt like this post should be extra special. Sadly, I've choked...so instead of coming up with something creative I'll wish everyone a Happy Holiday (insert your favorite winter holiday here).

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

HAPPY CHANUKAH!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

and my personal favorite...HAPPY WINTER SOLCIST!

Playoff Sunday in the land of the Puffy Hands. Taylor already has a commanding lead over Dudek. I would need some sort of miracle to beat Altitude. To date, I've had three players play and Jenny has had one. I'm only beating her by 2 points. Things don't look good. Still, I'm happy that two of the league ladies made it to the playoffs. I'm not giving in yet Altitude--maybe Tomlinson will fall down in an off field accident involving a wiener dog and a lemon. What? It could happen!

Wrapping presents today and watching the game. Packing a box of stuff to take to the new office tomorrow to make it feel a little more like home, and considering starting baking palooza 2006!

Hope your day is awesome!

Hey Kids!

How are you all? What a long week it has been here. Taylor and I are just dreaming of the weekend at this point.

I'm finishing up at work tomorrow. My desk is cleaner than the day I moved in. I'm a piler--so having a clean desktop is pretty amazing for me. I'm not all that sure what I'm going to do for the next day or so, but I'm sure I'll find something. I have a "farewell" party this afternoon. That should be interesting at the very least. I know I'll be the butt of a more than a few jokes, but it should be in good humor, so that is fine. A volunteer brought me breakfast this morning, which I thought was incredibly sweet. It was also delicious, and I left the house without breakfast or lunch, so it was certainly a nice treat!

Taylor had a particularly rough night last night. Check in with him later for details. Mathew, you have to give me a play by play this weekend of what he said. I'm thinking "Holy Crap" just like the Taylor doll might have said.

We got two wedding invitations this week. We are up to 4 weddings in 2007. The record is still 2005 with 8 in six months, but it looks like 2007 could give it a run for the money! Good think I have a new simple black dress to get me through these fun times! I'm excepting a chunk of babies in 2007 too. One of the women in my book club just had twin boys-Benjamin and Noah. Congrats to Caron!

I'm exhausted today. I got virtually no sleep last night. My office is so plain and quiet right now, I bet I could drift right off...

I'm nearing post 100...I'll have to do something special to commemorate.

Sorry I haven't posted much lately. I've been transitioning from Assumption to Anna Maria. I spent two days working there last week, which was interesting. It was actually kind of good, because it allowed me to get the nerves out of the way As I get ready to go in for my real start day on Monday I'm just excited-not scared. That said, I'm terribly upset at leaving AC. I'm doing much better than I anticipated. My VP threw a nutty last week, so I'm remembering why I want to go, which has made it far easier. Oh well-either way, the decision is made and now I just live with it.

Sneaking out a few minutes early today. I need to make dinner for my favorite birthday boy/ I'm thinking meatloaf right now-which I don't like, but he loves. We shall see how motivated I am by time I get home.

On a Christmas roll. Lots of my cards are out and I picked up more last night. I've got all but one package out in the mail and that should go out in the morning. I've started my wrapping and have most of my shopping complete--all without going to the mall. I'm a proud woman! I've even got a few ounces of spirit! Candles glow happily in our windows and Christmas Carols are required in my car at all times. Ho-Ho-Ho to you!

Happy Birthday Taylor!
Happy Birthday Alexander!
Happy Birthday Golic!

where are my readers? where are my com mentors? were you offended that I made fun of the mis-matched girl? I promise you it wasn't you. She isn't a reader!

Notes on my life...

Well, I spent my first two days at my new job. It was great. It was tough at first, but I've decided that I like it overall. I'm working hard already-lots of good events coming up. I might go to Italy in July, so that is a win. It seems like all the people I work with are great. All women-which will be interesting, but still great. There aren't a ton of young people in my office, but the coordinator for the department is actually younger than I am, so it is cool to have someone who speaks my language.

I'm back at Assumption for the rest of this week and next. I'm just wrapping up some stuff there and saying goodbye to all of my students, parents, and volunteers. It is really tough to say goodbye after six years, but the VP in my department is really making it easy for me.

Think Taylor noticed that I'm home...doesn't seem like it...

Ross is a Navy Fan
Grace is a UCLA Fan
It is a good day for both :)

Holy Moly! Betty White is on the Bold and the Beautiful too! She plays the mom from the Wonder Years Mom!

Oh mu god... the mom from the Wonder Years is on the Bold and the Beautiful! How sad...

Have I mentioned that I love all of the "I love the..." on VH1. Right now it is I love the 90's, 1992. This is old school. They are talking about Amy Fisher right now--which my friend Jodi and I used to love. I remember in high school when we made the Amy Fisher Memorial Bridge out of toothpicks in Science class. Ironically, we loved our science teacher that year...he must have though we were freaks!!!!!!!!!
