Welcome to Dana's blog!

Give me liberty.........I guess

It's here and paid for. We took to town tonight and lived to tell the tale, too. (nice alliteration, wouldn't you say?LOL)

Today started off early. I was so tired that I skipped my workout. Knowing that I'd be roller skating later helped. I threw the roast and potatoes in the crock pot and took off. I managed not to forget anything either.;) We had our MOMS Christmas party and that was fun! Not much gift stealing, but lots of chat time. Then to skating, which went well. Then to Pizza Hut for the BookIts. I packed myself a protien bar and tried to get a cappucino at McDs and they have stopped carrying them in order to carry the McCafe line. It won't be in for 2 months!!!!!!!! So I got a coke after waiting all of htat time. Then to the PO to mail off some decoy mail. I hope they reimburse me. Actually I'd just like to see my spring and fall checks....

Then to library, where I had a nice time chatting. It can get political and not get ugly. Plus we talked about TEOFWAWKI (The end of the world as we know it). I think I"m going to convince to get a lifetime gun permit (don't ask me details--I just know how much it costs!LOL). And wind power--it's very big around here, but I"m a bit skeptical as to low wind turbines working well. So I"m curious to see how this will pan out for my neighbor (and fellow homeschooler).

Then home, where the Jeep ppl were waiting in my drive! They were early so I didn't feel badly. I got the van unloaded and did what needed to be done for that and DH test drove it and signed the papers. I'm on this title. I refused to be on Stupider's title. And, no, it's not a big deal cuz I"ll inherit all of DH's stuff anyway!LOL It was just the principle!LOL

Then Mat offered to let us 'test' the liberty and go to town adn return his airhog. Thankfully they took it back w/o question. I'm hoping to convince him not to buy another one, but we'll see. I did however find inline skates on clearance! Too bad we just skated today! I wouldn't have thought anything of them, but another HS told me that she got ones that adjust 4 sizes! I found 1-4 and 4-7 in BLUE (heaven forbid the boys use pink or purple!LOL)! Mat may not be able to wear his long, but *I"LL* be able to use them inbetween! Joey's in a 1 so he's good for a long time. Mat's in a 6. BUT Mat threw a fit the one time he rented inlines and went back to regular. So I told him that IF we keep these (he wants to) he WILL use them or pay me skate rent (and I"ll use the inlines--which should be a hoot since I can barely stay up on regular skates!LOL I can ice skate tho and they say that they are like ice skates). So I think we'll keep them either way. Joey's young enuf that can switch to inlines easily. Mat's been on regular skates since he was 3 and skated weekly. They were $30/each, which sounds steep, but given the adjustable part AND that inlines rent for $3, it'll save money in about a year.

Then home to the roast potatoes and carrots. YUMMY!  cheated and used a crock pot liner since I knew I'd feel like chopped liver by the time we were done.

And tomorrow is cleaning the entire house. Fun fun.;)
