The First Page

In order to stay on the front page of my sister's blog, I decided I better update. If you don't update frequently enough, you get moved to the "other blogs I read catagory" on her blog.

I have recently become a Stampin' Up demonstrator. I am hosting my first "stamp a stack" on Friday night, February 2. Worry is starting to give way to a some excitement and I'm happy about that. I have almost finished preparing the cardstock for the cards that my guests will stamp. The house is even coming together. I've been able to manage this on top of taking care of the kids and Ernie. I will let you know how it turns out.

Ernie is having knee trouble. He went to the dr. on Monday afternoon, but did not receive a satisfactory diagnosis (as far as we're concerned). Someone whose knee locks up at any given moment and is almost in tears to get it straightened out again, surely has more than "severe tendonitis." I'm not a doctor and I don't play one on TV, but my guess is there is something more going on there.

Despite the cold and the periodic rain (or threat of rain), I'm trying to get the kids out at least once a day. They like to go for car rides and can handle at least one errand a day. Yesterday was Target, today will be Hobby Lobby, I'm not sure about tomorrow, but Friday will be Mommy & me.

With the stamp a stack and the SuperBowl this weekend, it's shaping up to be a busy one. But I am looking forward to it with great anticipation. I will close with the following thought:
COLTS, COLTS! GO COLTS!!

COLTS WIN! COLTS WIN!

I must admit, I gave up on the Saints at the end of the first half. I hear they fell apart in the second. With a final score of 39-14, Bears, this is an understatement.

I was feeling a little down about the Colts with the Pats leading 21-3, but they hung in there and so did I. Fortunately, I had just laid Nicholas down right before Joe Addai's touchdown run late in the 4th. I had to hold him for a long time last night to get him to go to sleep. When I was sure he was fast asleep, I laid him down...just in time for the touchdown run. I lept off of the couch and cheered. My husband laughed at me a little. But it's OK because the Colts are going to the Super Bowl!!

It's Been Awhile...Again

OK - So I haven't posted for almost a month. Where does the time go? I ask this question every time I get behind on my posts. Not much has happened, really. I have been a football watching fool because of the success of the Colts and the Saints. I will be rooting for both teams tomorrow in their respective games and for the Colts in the SuperBowl.

But for now, I've been tagged to list 5 things about myself (thanks Jan! - really, I mean it - you've "forced" me to update).

Here we go...
1. I was Drum Major of my high school band - I was not very good at it.
2. My favorite TV show is 'Friends' - even though it's not on the air any more.
3. We started attending services at South when I was in the 4th grade. I am still friends with someone that I met at that time.
4. I love to sing! I sing just like Faith Hill, Martina McBride, and Jennifer Nettles of the band Sugarland when I am in my truck by myself.
5. My sister, Lisa, is my best friend. (Of course, if you know even a little about me, you knew this already.)
