<p>I unloaded the kiln yesterday afternoon, and got a bunch of earrings and some necklaces and a bracelet assembled last night. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Going to take pics and this morning and hopefully get them posted this afternoon after I glaze & get the kiln going.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>busy busy!</p>

<p>Sounds exciting, Katholeenie! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today, I am grateful for the heat in my office.  The walk in was chilleh!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fun:  I'm going to start my holiday shopping this evening! </p>

<p>Fun: not sure, I'll have to get back to you.</p>

<p>Showoff!  <span><img alt="razz.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/razz.gif" style="width:15px;height:15px;"></span>  I have no heat in my office (and no a/c in the summer).  My fingers are like little ice cubes right now. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>RIP, John Lennon.  30 years... unbelievable. </p>

<p>I'm going to a Christmas lunch today with my mom and sister.  That should be nice.  It's at the Centre for Craft and Design here in town.  I've always wanted to go in there and check out all the nice stuff, just never got around to it. </p>

 

[Litchfield Hills]

<p><strong>Winter</strong> - any update on the job stuff?</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>KJ</strong> - your kid pics are beautiful.  I hope that the issues with little Grayson get settled soon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Missy</strong> - Not sure if this helps or not, but my DD was like that.  13 years later, we remind her constantly how much of a pain she was.</p>

 

[winter]

<p><strong>Litch</strong>:  Nothing yet.  I don't expect to hear anything until the holidays are over.  That's the government for you.  I'm surprised, as it is, that the competition is moving as fast as this. Thanks for asking though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sorry <strong>Theia</strong>.  I wasn't bragging.  (((((toasty finger vibes for you))))</p>

 

[NCRG71]

<p>Good Morning! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm chilly here too.  brrrrrrrrrrrrrr.  But I've got to admit, I'm loving the wintry wonderland right now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>((((((((((KJ))))))))))</strong>  Your pictures were absolutely lovely!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Missy</strong> - will Allie sit in a swing?   My DD was a horrible sleeper too and I remember feeling like a zombie for the first 6 months.  So different than her brother and I have no idea why.  But she loved the swing and would sometimes drift off for an hour or 2.  Are you exclusively bf or do you supplement at all?</p>

<p>morning peeps.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>dragging ass today. I nearly called in sick and might tomw if I can get this prospect profile (for the uni prez) done today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The program I went to last night was terrific.  First thing the speaker did was sit down at the piano and had us all sing "This little light of mine" and made us really SING!  The talk was on music education, and she was a phenomenal motivator.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If anyone can spare a few vibes or positive thoughts today, I'd appreciate it.  The Guy's mom was Dxed with a rare cancer, and today she's going in for a 2nd opinion at Dana Farber.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Fun:  Today is my Thursday.  Whatever that's worth.</p>
<p><br>
Also fun:  Last night we went to the tree lighting ceremony in our town.  The kiddo had a lot of fun and was excited to see Santa.  But then she got scared of him when we got up close to him.  <span><img alt="lol.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/lol.gif" style="width:15px;height:15px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Missy</strong>:  To follow up on what NCRG said, a lot of babies need some vibartions and/or white noise to sleep.  My daughter was a pretty good sleeper, but she always slept especially well in the car.  I've heard of some parents whose kids would fall asleep on top of the washing machine becuase of the vibration and noise.  And one friend of mine said that his daughter used to fall asleep to the sound of the vacuum cleaner.  These things might not seem like they'd be restful to us adults, but supposedly it simulates that experience in the womb, which puts them at peace.  Of course, maybe you've tried all this.  But if not, some of these things might be worth a shot...</p>

<p>Howdy all - fun yesterday was having a niece & nephew for a sleepover.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Funny you mention heat in the office - the ventilation patterns in this office are, well, unusual.  Some offices get downright warm and others (like mine) sometimes require me to put on my jacket while working.  Doesn't help my frozen fingers much though unless I just keep them typing away.  Of course in the summer, this works to opposite end - I stay nice and cool while others roast (especially if we get one of those rare heatwaves in the city, which really didn't happen much this year.)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Positive thoughts headed toward you and the Guy's mom's way, <strong>Maureen</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good vibes to <strong>((((Grayson & Allie Kate and both their weary moms))))</strong>  I'd echo what <strong>boB</strong> said re: the car - I know for the most part they've always knocked my nieces & nephews out for the count whenever I've traveled with them.</p>
<p> </p>

 

[wipaddler]

<p>morning all</p>
<p>I'm dragging ass today our flight got in an hour later than it should have last night so I'm a tad on the tired side.  The trip was fun and I'll update more when I don't feel like I'm going to slip into a coma.</p>

 

[runningINnyc]

<p>Morning all  <span><img alt="coffee.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/coffee.gif"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Fun:  Kansas won last night... woot woot!</span></p>
<p><span>Fun:  Company holiday party is tonight and is centered around karaoke.  This could get ugly.</span></p>
<p> </p>

 

[NCRG71]

<p>Maria - what's <strong>your</strong> karaoke song??</p>

 

[Runninlaw]

<p>Ooof - not fun.  I am in the office after 33+ hours in bed with some sort of stomach flu.  I woke up at 5 yesterday to run and - yeah - not going to happen.  In total, I was about about 1 hour and couldn't stomach more than a couple sips of water.  Not feeling a whole lot better today, but I dragged by butt into work so I don't miss the time I had planned spending with the boys over the Christmas holdiay making up for sick time. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is definitely putting a wrench into my training.  Glad I gave myself a few extra weeks this time.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>I usually go for Raspberry Beret but seeing as it's the holiday season, I may go for Do They Know It's Christmastime at All (if it's available).  Of course, I'll probably also cry while singing it... that damn song does it to me every time. </p>

 

[duckgeek]

<p>Crazy busy with work and family stuff (mostly holiday concerts and practices). </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just stopped by to drop off some hugs...</p>

[NCRG71]

<p>I get choked up hearing that on the radio, much less trying to sing it.  One of my holiday favorites.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>DH's and my karaoke duet is Barbie Girl.  It is pee your pants hilarious!  <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span><br><br>

<p>Hi. <span><img alt="hello.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/hello.gif"></span></p>

 

[mmoonptdeux]

<p>Oh, hey <strong>Beth</strong>!  Good to see you drop by!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Karaoke - you generally do NOT want to hear me sing, but I can do a tolerable "I Saw Her Standing There"</p>
