Woke up to some "frost on the barn" today! Quel surprise! No wonder I was cold during the night! I took my friend to Starbuck's last night for "dinner." I love their breakfast sausage sandwiches, so that's what I had! Then we went to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things. Yesterday in the mail, I received my order for pumpkin spice Hershey Kisses. I could not find them in the stores around here anywhere. I also ordered apple caramel Milky Ways. They are not too bad! I am going to use the Hershey Kisses to make cookies: pumpkin cookies with a Kiss put on just as the cookies come out of the oven! I also plan to make an applesauce-spice cake, if I can find a recipe! I will soon be off to radiation, but I will definitely check in when I return. Like the rest of you, I truly look forward to the special posts each day leading up to the Season. What a special group we have here!

What a great idea!!!! I love this
Thanks for the reminder about Veterans Day, truly a well-deserved recognition. I have some activity sheets for the sub to do with the students. I also left some seasonal Thanksgiving packets. Next week is a "short" week due to parent conferences, so the kids will get to do something fun yet educational relating to one of my favorite times of the year. I will finish up report cards this weekend. Our trimester ends today, but the principal only gave us a few days to average the scores and "do" report cards. That is SO SILLY!!! Yes, please rush me! TTYL
Happy Birthday to your son. Even if his girlfriend were home, you could include her in your tradition! I love reading about your traditions. What memory-makers they are!
This made me cry. Thank you.
Happy Birthday to your son! I hope your family enjoys your weekend getaway! cheesy
CM3 - hope the Dr can find you a substitute medication but a whole month away, praying for you. I love the tidbit about your Hermione, I love when they do things like that is really does melt you!!!
Track sorry to read this about Kandice. Glad she was able to get some rest, I agree with SW be sure to take care of you too.
Hi Made hope she feels better, you really are a good Uncle!!!
Elf - I ditto what you said, this sure is a great place
I remember you telling us about this trip, hope you can get some pictures to post!!! Hope your son's birthday is awesome, what a perfect way to cap your weekend
You will sure be busy SW, I like that Seasonal Packet idea, sounds special for the students
what´s up everybody.....Kandice is doing good now....she is not really eating yet...but well....she drinks lots of tea....so that is more important now....tomorrow she should be back to normal......I pretty much let her lay on the couch all day and watch Disney Movies....I will put her to bed soon.....
I chilled a bit today...but also got done a lot....sorted out unnecessary stuff from many drawers and threw it...vaccumed, mopped the floors, washed the blankets and towels that Kandice threw up on, arranged the place....was a good, productive day

Heya!
I haven't been in the forum for a week now and I missed the Christmas mood it brings me. :] Well, my days usually pass very quickly because I spend majority of time in the university or in the library studying and writing my essays. I feel pretty tired at the end of the day, so I just make a dinner when I come back home, chat with my mum on Skype for a few minutes and then I'm off to bed. Also, I have to spend plenty of time working with computer when reading different material and writing essays so I after that my eyes hurt and I can't spend even more time checking different forums, etc. I was working a lot on computer today as well but I just came to forum to say 'hello'. I hope that you all had a great week because mine was pretty good. Well first, I was surprised by my landlord in Monday evening when I came back home and found some cute stuff laying on my bed. Here is the picture: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/827/1007591y.jpg/ I was often complaining about being cold because my room is actually pretty cold. :/ The radiator isn't working properly and window doesn't trap the warmth inside so I can actually feel the wind coming into my room. My landlord had promissed me to get everything fixed by the end of last week but nobody came to take a look at the heater and the window. Hence my landlord was very sorry that I felt cold and left all these things to keep me warm until the guy will come to fix the heater and the window. Actually, I'm warmer right now. ^^ (I think she also turns the heating on in the mornings as well as evenings.
) Also, I got my first university assignment marked on Tuesday. I got B2 which is not so bad in general. Although it's not so good for me because according to lecturer's comment left on the cover sheet of my work, I lost my points basically for silly little mistakes. This fact made me frustrating. I was pretty sad and dissapointed in myself when I got my work back but later I realised that it's an extra motivation to put more efforts into my essay. Isn't it? ^^
Okey, I'm sorry guys for such a long and maybe not very interesting post. I'm off now to make a cup of hot cacao and read a book. I wish you all a warm Friday evening/afternoon!

Cute gifts from your landlady! Hang in there on the school work. It can be tough, I know. I am so glad that I have finished with all my degrees and will soon retire!!!

Hey Vic!!! Good to hear from ya... Listen don't beat yourself up; I like your comment about it being extra motivation though, keep that in mind. You believe in yourself and the sky isn't even the limit. Now, you have a guide though think of it as that, a guide to know what type of mistakes to look out for in the future. I am sure you will excel.
Always very nice to see you again LB !!! You have all been through so much - I know this is easy to say but just keep hanging in there and HOPEFULLY very SOON your electric will be back. (((HUGS)))) to that wonderful baby, Snickers xoxo
