I guess it's finally time...

to catch up on some old posts! lol... Been kinda tired lately. Funny how you can be so excited to do something and then... don't care! ;-) lol.... but I do. I'm finally back at school. Classes start tomorrow :-P. I'm not terribly excited. Still, it's ok. I've spent the last two days reading a book trilogy I really can't wait to finish. But I guess I have to wait til Paige brings me the third book tomorrow :-P. lol... but enough of that. It's time to post! (about Christmas, etc. DUH!) ;-)

Ok... so December 20th, I got up early, mailed a package at the post office. and (with a few things in between) headed to meet my high school buds at wal-mart to go to Ihop for... brunch? We have an annual tradition to meet somewhere for Thanksgiving and draw names and then meet for Christmas and exchange. It's fun! Means we see each other at least twice a year! lol.... so anyway, starting last year we decided to do themes. It makes it easier to shop & just as enjoyable. Last year, we all bought t-shirts from our school. This year, we decided on scarves. In the crafty spirit this year, I decided to make mine. I mean it's not that hard right. I wasn't planning on knitting or crocheting (mostly cause I don't know how despite I've been taught to crochet probably 5 times. I just never remember after the initial lesson :-P lol). I was really excited about the way my scarf turned out actually. Just nervous my friend Paige wouldn't like it. It looked more like a SHana scarf to me and I was sad I hadn't found the color scheme I'd been hoping for in my limited selection of Wal-mart fleece. But here it is none the less.

Cute as could me if I do say so myself ;-). And Paige luvs it (at least she says so) & her mom complimented me on it as well. I'm glad. Though the worse part was the tassels. My poor blistered fingers couldn't even open the well taped box Brittany gave my scarf to me in. But it faded quickly & was hardly noticeable the next day.

Paige, me, and Shana with our new scarves! What a great brunch we had! It was so much fun!

AFterward, I took off for Alabama to my sister's family! (MOre on that later. I suspect they'll be a few catch up posts). The rain was horrid though and made the drive long. But the end result was worth it and thankfully I made it safely! :-D
