Golf Elbow and things you don't do in a school zone

OK, I have golf elbow and I don't even golf. I can barely hit the ball. This week, especially yesterday was a bear. I had a doctor's appointment at 3 pm, so I got someone to cover my class so I could leave early. As I was cruising down Meridan in Valley Center, a car with a beautiful display of lights stopped me and low and behold, it was another person wanting to wish me a merry Christmas! In a school zone no less, don't they know that this is not a good place to stop and talk?

We refinanced the house and found out that we had to have the house appraised contrary to what was previously stated. So we couldn't finalize the refinancing that evening after all . We had 2 inches of water in our cellar due to a pipe that burst. Dan bought a end cap for the pipe while we were in Newton doing some Christmas shopping. We also dropped off Dan's car to get fixed. When we got home, Dan discovered that the end cap was mislabeled on the package therefore it didn't fit on the end of the pipe. He decided to go back to Newton (aggh) and get the correct one, because the Hesston stores were closed. That was fine with me because I had some jewelry to make for today. However, he realized that I would have to drive him because he doesn't have permission (we didn't pay for him to drive) to drive the rental car. In case you ever need an end cap, Alco in Newton, doesn't carry one. :( so back to Wal-mart. grrr. Needless to say, the baking I had planned to do didn't get done although the jewelry did. At 11 pm we crawled into bed.

The zipper in my winter coat broke, we still haven't gotten our Accord back, and we have static cling, I think we will move to Australia.

If it is cold, it should snow

It is freezing cold around here including my classroom. I am thankful that my room has 4 walls and a roof, but I could do without the movement of COLD air right over my desk. I have worn my coat and gloves somedays and I am usually found wrapped up in my little fleece blanket. Evidently my students missed the memo on the temperature change and are still wearing shorts and flip flops.--it is amazing, the colder I am the less they are wearing. Good grief! I am looking forward to the end of the week, which ends first semester and starts Christmas break. We will wrap up on Friday with a faculty basketball game--usually a barrel of laughs. I was a cheerleader last year, but this year we have all been banished to the stands to keep an eye on the kids.

I have been selling my jewelry at school which is great because I don't have much competition (Art teacher also sells) as I do at the craft shows. They have been kindof a bust, I barely make enough money to break even with the cost of the booth. So I am not sure if I will do them again. I am thinking of a having an open house sometime over break or into the new year complete with a chocolate fountain and perhaps.... some snow on the porch. If you are interested let me know. I took jewelry to church one Sunday and sold something to a friend. Dan accused me of selling merchandise in the Lord's house and I guess technically I was... :( ( unintentionally of course).

We are STILL waiting for Stella and the repair shop is waiting for a part. It has been a long wait and I am not a good waiter, just ask God. I am on my second rental car, a 2009 Sonata this time. We are enjoying the satellite radio, but I miss my girl. :( Our christmas planner is full of meals with Dan's family which always make me a little homesick for my family. We plan to go to San Antonio to celebrate our 2 year anniversary over break. Tomorrow is the day that we said "I do". And what a difference in both of our lives those 2 little words have made.
