I love it when what goes around comes around! Apparently the teachers all got together at the end of the day and put all the kids in the whole school into one room and put on a movie for them to watch while the teachers decorated a tree and a room for a Christmas party. So Kaylee hops in the car and tells me this, and then said "It was a Barney movie, Mom! It was terrible! The snowman was a guy in white clothes and a plastic costume and his lips didn't move. I had to watch that for two hours! I would rather rub up against a tree and lose all my clothes than have to watch Barney!" HAhaha! I told her she used to like Barney, and she said "Yeah, when I was TWO." I said that with all the kids together, they had to watch something everybody could watch, not just the older kids, and she responded that it was terrible at her age to have to watch Barney. So I got her by saying "Imagine how I feel! I was 33 years old and I had to watch Barney with YOU!" That gave her the giggles the rest of the way home. ;)
Me? I just worked today. Read up on some instrument stuff for flying. Picked up a few things around the house. Ran errands. Stuffed all the envelopes for the end of the month billing, and now that our bulk mail place is out of business, went to the post office with a box of ready-to-go envelopes so I could buy stamps and stick them on one at a time. Oh well...at least I got little Christmas stamps to give people a little Christmas Cheer when they open their flight school bill for the month. ;)
We had a lovely lunch with 8 of us at Half Moon today, and I had been there a good 30 seconds before I realized that the guy across the table was someone we knew way back when I first came to Kokomo. I'd flown with him several times and we had a couple of adventures, but I hadn't seen him in years. It's always kind of strange running into people you knew way back when!
Kaylee has Awanas, Steve & I have dinner, then it's time to hunker in and stay warm for the evening with a bit of hot chocolate and cool whip. Sounds good to me, anyway!
A few quotes from the last week...
--------------------------------------------
"I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it."
~Thomas Jefferson
"Some people think only intellect counts: knowing how to solve problems, knowing how to get by, knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion and empathy."
~Dean Koontz (one of my guilty pleasure authors)
"It is worth a thousand dollars a year to have the habit of looking on the bright side of things." ~Samuel Johnson
"Man must be arched and buttressed from within, else the temple wavers to dust."
~Marcus Aurelius
