Mailings, modeling, and magenta sweaters.

+ So, I got all the work done that I could do today in a little over 7 hours. I picked Isaac up from home on my way back from Orange Park (where I got stuff for church, so I count it as work time) and he worked on his laptop on my desk while I worked assembling notebooks and letters at my counter. That was nice - I could just turn around and lean over and kiss him. He was kind enough to stuff and seal the envelopes for me as I did other work, which is why I got out of there in under 8 hours. I just have the bulletin and sermon PowerPoint to do on Saturday evening, which means I may get to do more at Fellowship Group than just eat. Yay!

+ Wednesday nights are such awesome TV nights. Pushing Daisies, Criminal Minds (most Wednesdays, but, sadly, not tonight), Law & Order, and Bones to watch online tomorrow or Friday. I just heard the other day that Pushing Daisies is canceled though. Sad. But at least we get to finish this season - unlike what happened to Journeyman last year.

+ So apparently the friends I referred to Swagbucks had a good day too. Instead of being up to 83 points, I'm up to 99! ROCK ON! I'm 1/4 of the way to a $50 Southwest Airlines GC! Thanks to all who've joined under me.

+ Yesterday as I walked to work I saw a sign on a church a few blocks from our house that Tim Hawkins is coming there on Dec. 15! Tim Hawkins is tied with Brian Regan for my favorite comedian. We will so be there to see him! I can't wait. (If you haven't heard of him, look him up on YouTube.) If I hadn't walked to work, I wouldn't have known about this! Walking to work is fun too because Ken and John (youth pastor) walk by my office and look confused - "Wait - I didn't know you were here. Where's your car?" Hehe.

+ I'm wearing a magenta sweater with pretty big (larger than a nickel) jeweled flower buttons today. It's a recent thrift store find, originally from Express, and part angora, so it's really soft. It is SO not traditional Bethany (did I mention it's magenta and has big jeweled flower buttons?), but I love it! Speaking of recent thrift store finds that I love, those 3 pairs of $3 jeans that I got at a recent storewide 50% off sale have pretty much been worn every day since I got them. This is now my Holy Grail brand and size, I think. I hope they still fit when I lose the inches off my hips.

+ I uploaded my potential commercial comp. card photos to Facebook, and would love your opinions on them. If you have a FB, you can leave comments there. If you don't, please let me know here which ones you like best. I need to know which ones are people's faves so I can choose which ones to have printed to show to Suzi. I may end up printing them all... unless there're some no one likes at all. With prints running 19¢ each, if there are just 5 I don't print, that's saving $1. Yeah, I'm cheap. Did I mention paying upwards of $5K for a new roof this week?  =o/

+ I listed some of my CVSing goodies and shoes I barely wore on Ebay. If any of you wear a size 10 shoe, or 11 if you like knee-high boots, check out my auctions. *crosses fingers that it'll all sell*

+ I think getting more cardio has been helping me sleep better. I haven't been laying awake for hours any night since I started walking everywhere. That's a big praise!

+ I've been seriously craving Gilmore Girls lately. I would start watching them again if I wasn't already working my way through Buffy for the first time since it aired. Heh. Maybe I can do both at once?

+ Well, I need to go finish up my laundry and pack for Charleston. We're leaving EARLY, so the next time I update will be from there.  =o)

Before I forget, I looked at your size 10 patent leather Mary Janes, and I don't know if you know, but at the bottom, you say "sorry for any problems this may call you." I think you probably mean "cause," so I thought I'd mention it. Btw, the shoes are cute, and if I were a size 10, I would SO get them!

Aww, kissing husbands is so nice (well, actually, I just want to kiss one, mine, but you know what I mean, hehe).

Yay for sleeping well again! Getting up several times a night is finally getting to me, so I think I'm going to have to start catching naps some days to catch up on my own sleep.

Yikes! I need to watch Pushing Daisies from last week and this! We've been watching Bones, and since yesterday was a crappy day, I didn't watch anything. Also, you should check out The Mentalist. It comes on on Tuesdays at 9 on CBS.

I still need to join swagbucks. I just keep forgetting.

I keep picturing this hideously tacky sweater, though I know that can't be right!

Have fun in SC! I'm off to look at your pictures, and I'll let you know what I think. :)

I just like kissing husbands in general...

(JK!)

Good thing you don't know mine--I know he's safe from your lips!

Oops. I noticed that after I copied it on another one, but forgot to change it. Oh well - only one more day left on the auction, so it doesn't matter. I adore those shoes. I searched for them several places and finally found them online. Alas - Mudd doesn't make them in 10.5 or 11. I thought they were cute enough to scrunch up my toes in, but in the end they hurt too much. =o(

Kissing husbands when one would otherwise be husbandless is EXTRA nice. =o)

I can imagine! Do the girls ever all nap at the same time?

We've been watching The Mentalist since it first began, don't worry. =o) Actually, the first episode was especially funny in regard to my "the familiar person did it" theory. When that first started I saw one guy and immediately proclaimed that either he did it, or he would die. Well, he did do it, AND he died! It was so funny! I love the main guy on that show. I do wish they'd let him have his Aussie accent though! I don't understand why producers insist that people with great accents do an American one. I'd like House even more if he was allowed to sound British, and The Mentalist would be so much better if the main character was Australian!

Yep, you do. Hehe.

No, it's not tacky. It's from Express - you know it can't be THAT bad. I'll take a picture one of these days.

I did! It was a great trip. Freezing yesterday though.

Thanks for your comments on my pics!

That's very sad indeed. :(

True, true.

Jill doesn't nap anymore, and while Beth naps at the same time (roughly) every day, Kate's not really old enough to have a good schedule. I tried to get a nap today (I had Jill take a nap just cuz she and Beth have been getting up so early lately since Jon has to go to work earlier in December), but between Jill playing, the baby wanting to eat, and my STUPID cat deciding that today, of all days, to play like a real cat, I didn't really get one. I conked out on the couch this evening for about a half hour, though, while the girls watched Toy Story. I'm still not sure if that was a good idea--I'm still kind of groggy.

Wow, that was a long reply to such a simple question!

We only just started watching it, but ever since we have, I've always been right about whodunit. Jon's getting better at figuring it out. And, yeah, his accent is awesome. Did you know Hugh Laurie was on Friends once? Jon found it on youtube, so that's the reason I know what he sounds like, otherwise I would have no idea.

Express? Big flower buttons? Aaagh! I can't reconcile the two!

No prob. :)
