losing time
January 16, 2008
I lost an hour this morning. I checked the time at 9:30 and then the next time I looked it was 11am and oops we were supposed to do school stuff from 10-11. I don't remember exactly how that happened or what transpired during that hour but I do recall ...
making lotion
January 11, 2008

Not to mention great actors, cinematography, directing and all ...

End of Christmas
January 7, 2008
We celebrated the last day of Christmas tonight at our friend's Twelfth Night Celebration. It was a nice way to end Christmas. Brad & Dawna left this morning after visiting for 2 days. And during their stay we celebrated Dawna's birthday. So between the 23rd of December (my brother's birthday) ...
