Seven for Sandy - Part 2

Part Two of my list!  (Part 1 is here.)

5)  I'm starting to make a Christmas list.  Seriously thinking of buying my kids an ipad Mini to share.  But hubby thinks it will just cause more fights.  Any thoughts on sharing gifts?  (They are 17, 15, 12, 8.)  They honestly "need" nothing.  Trying to find a gift that will be used all year long and not just more wasted money!

6) My hubby and the eldest are going to Colombia on a mission's trip in November.  They will be gone for Thanksgiving.  I am sad.  And worried.  Sending two parts of my heart out of the country...on a holiday :(.

7) I ordered my camera.  Decided to stick with entry level DSLR, Canon Rebel T3.  It shipped out last Saturday and should be here later this week, early next week.  Of course, it also shipped from New Jersey so....yeah.

All righty, well, there's two whole days of posting.  Big hugs to the BFF, she truly carries PJs til Noon!  And, no, you can't have her.  She's mine.  I will let you read her blog posts, but that's it.

Seven for Sandy - Part I

Here's where I usually apologize for being a bad blogger, but let's be honest we all know that now so I will just jump right in with a list. (And in order to milk it for all its worth, I am splitting it into two parts!)

1) Last week I started another class, bringing me to full-time student status.  I'm a bit overwhelmed, but it's all good.  When I'm overwhelmed, I seem to shut down on the "regular"stuff as well as completely obsess on things completely unrelated.  How's that for a coping skill?  I'll tell you how it is, not very effective. 

2) We got some wind and rain from Sandy.  Thankfully nothing as severe as they were predicting for our neck of the woods (Central Virginia).  We kept power the whole time (very unusual) and only lost internet for about 14-16 hours.  

3) My kids got an extra two days off school compliments of Sandy.  They were out last Friday for a teacher workday, Monday and Tuesday for the storm.  They will be out next Monday/Tuesday for a teacher workday/election.  Thankfully, hubby understood my plea for help (demands from a crazy woman), and we met him in town for dinner tonight.


4) I have a hair appointment on Saturday.  I've been rocking a straight bob for over a year now (rocking..snicker).  Here's what I'm thinking ---->
(Tried to find original location but it was from a pin.  No luck.)


I'll post Part 2 later this week!
