I have to wonder what life would be like for us if my husband had gotten a job that he applied for in Jersey. I also wonder what it would be like if he had ended up with a philadelphia job, for which he also applied. I may have still been living in Salem. I may have moved to another bigger apartment. Who knows....
How will you use technology or the Internet to help you plan and prepare this year’s Thanksgiving feast?
Sponsored by LifeScoop: Bringing You Tips for a Connected Lifestyle.Well, I dont get to have Tday dinner this year as I would normally, so the only way it will help is coordinating with other people to see where they will be. :( I like cooking for the big holidays. I get all excited and my expertise comes shining through. It's the only time I really showcase most of my cooking talent in one shot.
Dang! New York gets cold quick! I need my winter jacket already. The orlando vacations I was looking into are surely looking really really good about now! I was planning the trip for next year, but now would be a GREAT time to go south for the winter. Just walking out onto the balcony is enough to send you back under the covers for another month. The wind cuts like a few swords aimed right at your vital organs. Scary lol.
What was your favorite class in high school? (And no, lunch doesn't count.)
I would have to say Journalism was my absolute favorite class. I had thought to make journalism into my career, but GOD had other plans for me. I still use many of the skills I learned in journalism and advertising with our ministries and businesses today, but if I had pursued those avenues my life would be much different now. Not better, mind you, but different.
Choir was not really a class, as it was the joy of my life. It was more like an ego requirement so that I could get in good with the teacher who was also the drama instructor and be able to showcase my talents in both arenas, which I did.
It's so tiny..and green!
I hope some people understand the reasons why some things are done they way they are done.
I think, if there were such things as "former lives", I would have been some type of royalty. The amount of pillows and layers of mattresses that I need in order to get a good, restful night sleep is insane. I have to feel like I am sleeping on mounds of cotton fluff to be able to sleep well. My dream is to get an adjustable side bed so that he can have his rock solid mattress area and i can just suck right down into the foam. One day...one day LOL
How old do you think children should be before they join social networks like Facebook and MySpace?
Depends on what it's for , the maturity level of the child, and the obedience/morality level of the child. I would say that a child like my own would not be able to get on till he was 14...but with strict supervision. He is a well behaved, mature child at his age now, but things happen. I think that all children should be supervised on the computer till they leave the house to some extent.
She's probably tripping Saint Peter down the stairs as we speak!
While it's sad, it's not surprising. She was 536 years old. Strangely enough, DeWitte and I were talking about it and neither one of us has ever had a cat die of old age before. That's probably because we always had indoor/outdoor cats growing up and they'd either get hit by a car or run away. They only let you dress them up in your doll clothes so many times before they feel the need to take up residence in a less humiliating household.
She was a mean old grouchy bat of a cat who attempted to murder me often but I'll miss her anyway. Now we've gotta tell Nathan. This isn't gonna be pretty. He's never known a life without Cleo and he's a major cat person so this is just gonna kill him. Too bad they don't let you take time off for the death of a pet...I'll have to wait until after homework and piano then maybe DeWitte and I can do it together.
So, around 5:30, I asked DeWitte where his fancy "see in the dark" video camera, that I bought him just for Halloween night, I might add, was so that I'd be ready. He said that the battery was dead and he didn't know where the charger was. He was too busy to stop to look for it and I looked where he thought it might be but no luck...so I used the Flip video camera instead. It does not see in the dark so I followed one of my Mom's from school through because her kids all have on glow necklaces. There's kind of a dead spot right in the middle, they were going down a dead end and I didn't follow and can't figure out how to edit that part out to save my life because I'm tech-savvy like that. Anyway, so you can't see much but you can hear it.
It was the best year ever. 364 people came in about 2 1/2 hours. That's a hundred more than last year.
My neighbor kid painted this on the front because he's awesome like that!

Nathan (the clown) and my niece (the beast) heading out trick or treating. The other two kids were part of the crew.

It was a very Happy Halloween!
