Blue Roses

For some reason, I am quite wired tonight. 12:30, and I just can't bring myself to go to sleep. I'm wide awake!

Lots has gone on since I last posted. I went down to UIUC to visit the people in charge of the online library program. It was a nice visit, very informative, and I liked the people very much.

I started my morning job in the ECE. It's definitely going to be a challenge - 3 year olds are much, much, much different than 7 and 8 year olds. <.g> I'm not used to pre-preschool! Oy. But I think I'll get the hang of it all pretty quickly.

I did the training for the afternoon preschool job. I think I'm going to enjoy that one - everyone involved seems more on the ball than the other job.

Melissa and I went Christmas shopping. So much fun! We had lunch at Gabi - I love it there! It's Liss's favorite place to eat, so of course it had to be our lunch stop on her second day home. I had a cheeseburger with blue cheese and onion soup. She had steak and onion soup, and the Coffee Pot de Creme for dessert. Oh. My. God. You know those commercials where women are obsessively licking the dessert spoon clean and almost moaning in delight. That was me taking a bit of her dessert. Oh. It was coffee custard, topped with a light airy mousse. Oh. I'm smiling just thinking of it. LOL! I must must must get that again soon.

I wrote two stories this week. LOL All hail the sesa. LOL One was NSYNC, of course. My first SeSa request not JC/Chris. Sadness! I can't say what she asked for, just in case, but I'll post a link come New Year. I think it came out cute.

The other story was a gift for Jennie, Biz and Jess, and so it was Remember WENN. My first media story in....a very long time. LOL It's shorter than the NSYNC one, but I think just as cute. I'll post a link after Christmas.

Other than that....guess its been business as normal. The tree (a Tyra Banks model - tall and skinny) looks beautiful, although its currently only wearing lights. Still needs ornaments. My little American Girl tree is fully decorated, though, and very pretty.

204 days until Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince! ;)
