Life In The Oyster

Happy Christmas Eve Eve Eve

I just realized it's been Weeks since my last post (eek). I apologize. Let's see..... what's been happening. Well....

Friday night was the invasion at Scott and Liz's. That was fun, we sat around and talked about vented gas fireplaces, and ate food, of course, and then *duh duh duh* We did Karaoke. Oh boy that was awful. A mess. Embarrassing. But, I have to say, the girls did way better than the boys. Partly because we cheated. But THAT is beside the point!

Oh, but you haven't heard about the Christmas party! LOL, Brian and Tim came and made quite an impression. We were playing this game where you find something to do with Christmas for every letter of the alphabet, and Bethany and I decided we were going to beat them and wouldn't let Brian see our paper. Well, Brian is very competitive, so he decided that he and Tim were going to beat us. Heh whatever, but they got their piece of paper and sat down to think. One of them comes up with the brilliant Idea for Jiminy Cricket. He has nothing to do with Christmas, although they argue he was in Mickey's Christmas Carol. The brilliant thing about it was that they put it under G. Our Pastor was sitting there across from them, watching them and laughing. Now he calls them the Einstein Twins.

So... then on the way home from the invasion, Jackson and I were the only ones going, so we rode down with Tim. On the way home Kristin followed us so she wouldn't get lost, and she was sooo afraid she would lose us, because drives an Echo, and Tim has a BMW (everybody say oooo). So we went slow and then Tim turned on his blinker, even there wasn't a road in sight, and Kristen does the same thing. Boys. He did that like three times, then we nearly missed our turn. Haha.

And we went and saw Narnia, it was lovely. *sigh* Then we went to Silver Diner and got dinner and talked to the waiter about how he came Nepal and he's the only person in his family to be here, he's been here two years and his wife is still in Nepal.

And work has been.... The kids are ok, but the staff is a bit stressed, like relations and stuff. People don't like the other one or whatever. And then there's the bosses getting in stuff.... And one day my kids Were bad, and that was awful, but I think it worked. Let's just say I was stressed that day.

I'm going for an interveiw for a job as a nanny next week. I'm not sure if it's really a good idea though. It would be seriously time consuming and they want something longterm and I'm going to New York next year for school and then there's my fulltime job in the summer, and they're talking about me going with them to their beach house. And the kids are young, one and two year old twins. I don't usually do babies. *sigh* So we'll see about that.

I'm definitely majoring in International Business. It seems so dry, but.... Yeah. :) That's ok.

The Christmas chior program was Sunday and it came off without a hitch. David got back from Jordan and he's fine.

We went to Brian and Tim's business Christmas party. My dad was worried about that one, "What kind of party is this??" Kind of thing. But it was fine, their "Boss" is a Christian, and the wildest part was the preschoolers literally bouncing off the walls. :D

There is other stuff... but not stuff that I think you want to hear about. I miss homeschool group and my friends there immensely, but at the same time I"m making other friends in college. But they're different in a thousand ways.

Also, go check out Daniel's Xanga because it's hilarious. http://www.xanga.com/trekiedaniel
OH boy. That's just funny. OK, you have to be mildly knowledgeable about debate, but only as knowledgeable as I am, which is about nothing. This is not pie song Dan, this is Daniel. :D just so there's no unfortunate mix ups.
