Life in OKC

Confirmations are tonight. I'm not sure how many Confirmandi there are all together, but I think it's a good sized group. Both my Uncle Mark and my cousin Mason are being confirmed. That's going to be cool to see.
Oh, Ian's being confirmed also. (He's one of "my kids" from my job.) His Confirmation saint is Francis of Assisi...big shock there. (Ian is crazy about animals.)

Life in my apartment is going well. Kelly and Mary and I haven't even gotten into one fight--even though we were all stuck in our apt. for FOUR DAYS during the ice storm. I'm proud of us.
Anyway, it's lots of fun living with my sisters. Last night Mary and I were bored half-to-death as we sat on the couches watching TV, so I forced her to play Scrabble with me instead. I totally beat her!!! It was awesome! ::laughs:: I almost never lose at that game.... ;D

I'm thinking I might post a short (and I stress "short") story on this blog. It's been awhile since I've done that. I know hardly anyone reads it anymore, but maybe I'll do it anyway. Maybe I'll write it for you, John and Shelley, since y'all are still my faithful readers!! (But, Shelley, I'll probably have someone KILL YOU!!!! since you don't know how to keep my alive in your stories....! ;p)

Aaawww...Carrie is out in the livingroom with the kids teaching them how to sing! Ian, Caitlin and Kolbe are singing "The Ants Go Marching"....aaaaaawww...that's so sweet. Well, I'm going to go look at them.

Ireland--Land of Insanity

This post has nothing to do with Ireland.

John just made me think of it.

Well, actually, maybe it will.

John...I do wish you would desribe what it is like to live in a foreign country and to speak with a foreign accent. Is it difficult?

Let us know. We are awaiting your witty comments.

Happy New Year!

Well, last year was not a disappointment when it came to the Interesting Factor. Something was always going on, it seemed. I did a lot of things I thought I'd never do. I heard a lot of (true) stories I never thought I'd hear. And I said one thing I never thought I'd say.

Oh...wait...that was last night! It was in the new year! ::laughs:: Oh...well...great way to begin!

Once again, I must say it:

What will this year bring?

I hope it is interesting and amusing and challenging....but just a wee bit less stressful. For everyone. EVERYbody has stress in their life....maybe we make too much of it.

Happy New Year to Sister Christa--even though she won't ever read this--we miss you!
