I'm still here, but I've hit the "Crap I don't have any money and I have to craft Christmas presents out of my stash" part of my year. So, I've been knitting, crocheting, crying, soaking my hands ice water, etc. But, I think I'll be done on time! Well, probably not on time to mail stuff, but done enough to enjoy Christmas, hopefully.

I'll try to check in more, though, I don't want to neglect you all as much as I have been.

Today we're having a "Collection Museum" at Girl Scouts. The kids will all bring some stuff they collect and we'll display it on tables and they can each talk about it. This really seemed like a great idea to me until I realized that I will need to get 4 kids' worth of precious breakables (plus some of my Nativities) across town and back.

I have also been reading the book that Cube sent me, The Bachman Books. I'd forgotten that not only was one of the stories about a school shooting, but another ended with the protagonist flying a plane into a skyscraper. Creepy! If his stories are going to keep coming true in some fashion, I think that Stephen King should stick to writing happy stories, maybe he could write one about finding Osama bin Laden, or me winning the lottery.
