yes, i'm still here

i know, i know.  it's been a while.  the story of my life.

well, i've been busy, honest.

i started a new job 2 weeks ago.  after a five year break.  (gasp)
don't get excited, it's part-time.

i took a short vacation from crafting after our retreat.
we're now back at it for the christmas banquet.

i have costumes to make for the christmas program.

there is a pto auction basket to create.

we have the megablast tournament in midlothian starting tomorrow.
i'm driving, mind you, I'm extremely navigationally challenged.  (grin)
i can't wait to carpool and room with our partners in crime for the weekend.
it's gonna be just us gulls.  (that's how the man would say it.)

i'll miss soup & pie + music at church sunday. (sigh)

thanksgiving will be here in 6 days.  this will be the 1st one we've done at our house.
last night, my sweet, sweet (and quite handsome) husband ordered a roaster/buffet server and i can't wait to use it.

our 11th FPU class is on monday and i'm a little sad that we're coming to the end.
but, hopefully, we'll (i'll?) be hosting it at our church in march!

my grandad turns 96 in a week and we'll be dining out with niece, jean and cousin, leslie.
there are also a million birthdays in november for mom's side of the fam.

let the juggling begin...bring on the snow.  a pile of books and sewing await.
*note: i very much dislike snow but, there are some things i do love about it. 
we'll talk later, when it actually does snow.

i'm going to finish packing now.  we'll only be gone 1 night, but that's a task in itself for me. 
(snicker)

he was quite preturbed.

ha, you couldn't tell, could you?
