Good morning, Christmas friends. The weather is cool, warming up during the day. It is supposed to get really warm next week. I hope the weather man is wrong! I've got a little laundry to do, and I have to go over to the school to organize all the copies I made. Right now, the copies are in piles; and I want to organize them by "time of expected use." THEN I will finally feel organzied for most of the school year, at least until February 15. But we have another break in February, so I can finish every thing then. I will check in later to see how y'all are doing! Someone has to keep an eye on y'all!!!

Strange things like that happen in my house and classroom, too. It's a mystery!!!

So, I like to tell everyone I do not listen to Christmas music until November 1. Yet, 101 Strings Orchestra's "The Glory of Christmas" seems to be mysteriously playing on my computer.

Strange, that.

It is great! So simple. Just follow the directions: roll the orange around on the counter, applying pressure to make it juicy. Cut a hole in the top like you would if you were going to suck on the orange. Get a peppermint stick (what we call "soft"), bite a little off each end, stick it in the orange and suck on the peppermint stick like it's a straw! (It takes only a few tries to get it "started." I am 65 years old and still do this. I also show the students how to do this at Christmas during our Christmas party. You can get the porous peppermint at Wal-Mart. The brand is Bob's. You can get the peppermint there now, at least here!

Awesome! I can't wait to try it!

I agree with you, Snowflake!

There is also a soft stick brand called King Leo, I believe.

You are right. When I couldn't find the Bob's, I ordered King Leo off the internet. Bob's is lots cheaper, though.

Made,
How high will he go before he jumps?

23 miles. I think they said 123,000 feet.

It's going to take him 2 hours to get that high.

I'm feeling 1,000% better than I was 24 hours ago. In fact, I'm well enough to go to Mass and Panera's with a group of friends later this morning. :yahoo:

Good to hear! =]

I'm watching it right now too and the waiting, when not so much time is left untill his jump, makes me nervous.
