Dh and I go out for dinner every December 31st. But not for New Years Eve, but for our anniversary. :-)
We go to a certain restaurant that is only for our anniversary. (Okay, I would love to go to this place more often, but it is not in THAT price range.) We save up all year for this dinner.
It's hard to beleive that another year has gone by. It seems like just yesterday that I was getting used to writing "2006" on my checks....now I need to get used to putting "2007" down.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Still around, just busy.
This past week has been busy...so blogging has taken a back seat to life.
Monday took D to have his hand looked at by our regular doctor. Well, actually a CNP, but I like her better. :-) She said that D was to stay home from work AND school until the 2nd of January. She did not want to take a chance with infection.
Tuesday, I worked on my talk that I gave last night (Thursday). Then just worked on laundry and taking people here and there.
Wednesday I spent at the subustitute teacher orientation. That went very well. Of course, at one point I was the oldest person in there for the orientation. LOLOL Then thankfully some other ladies around my age showed up! The rest of the day was spent with DH and then we went out to eat. Had sushi! YUMM! I love it.
Thursday was more laundry and going over my talk for that night. That night went smoothly. The sister that was my householder was, of course, wonderful. I am just glad it is over with....at least til next time. LOLOL
Today I am going to do more laundry (I swear, sometimes I feel that is ALL I do!) Then I am goint to finish up some items that DH asked me to help with and then maybe do some cooking.
I hope everyone has a great day AND weekend!
**Kayla, I will add some more to my list soon.... I promise.**

Weird font changes
That is so weird. My previous post went really small about half-way through!
I don't even know how to change the font on this blog thing! I guess I should learn so that I can fix that!

That will teach me to say nothing exciting has been happening...
Okay....so I made my post earlier. Went to do dishes and my phone rings.
DsS17 calls to tell me that he has been burned at work and needs to go to the ER!
Well.....my day goes nothing as planned after that.
Got the kids in the car, call DH on my way and get to D's job. He comes out before I am halfway across the parking lot. I look at his hand....very red, but only alittle blister!
Get in the van and head to the ER. Thankfully they were almost empty. We go back almost immediately.
They clean his hand and his forearm. (There is tea leaves all over it) Then they apply silver "something" (I can not remember what, but it's for burns). It is then loosely bandaged. Oh, before doing this, they give him a vicadin to help with the pain.
Then I got extra guaze, more of the silver stuff and instructions on how to clean the burned areas.
Most was just first degree burns, with some areas of second degree. He was very fortunate, because it could have been ALOT worse.
Now, he is laying in bed, bored as can be. Plus his is bummed because he really needed the money and now he can not work. But he does get out of any writing this week in school. ;-)

Nothing exciting going on...
Not alot is going on here that I can blog about.
I am still reading the Complete TWG, but there has been nothing major to add to what I am already doing.
I am trying to use up left overs better. I was going through a phase of throwing out more than I was using up! Not a good thing!
I am going to the orientation for the teaching position on the 20th of this month, so I hope that means I will start taking assignments in January.
I am looking forward to having some "spending money" of my own that does not need to come from the "household" funds.
I will try and post again sooner.
**Oh and I have not forgotten the 1000 list...I just need to sit and type of the new ones.**

Saturday Thoughts
Hi all,
Just sitting here updating my blog. :-)
Not alot going on here.
Still deciding if I want to have "no internet" days or not. And if I do....what days they would be. Maybe I will have "no message board" days. They seem to be what suck up my time. LOL
I put in an application to be a substitute teacher here in my school district. I like the idea of being able to take jobs when I want to, and have a little bit of money for "putting away". I like the idea of buying DH something with money that did not come from "his" paycheck. LOL
I bought some milled flax seed at the store yesterday. Does anyone have any good recipes for it? I want to start incorporating it into my diet. I have heard some great things about it.
Have a great day everyone!
