Ho Ho Ho!!
And now for the weekend update...
The Board Meeting went well. Why is it every time we have one of these meetings I feel like I end up with more stuff to do. Like every step I make opens up 50 other things that need to get done. Oh well...I've decided to take a week off. Mostly because this week is the only week of really vacation I get. Any convention stuff I have to do can wait until the 27th to be done, especially since I'll be stuck at school with nothing else to do.
Saturday Night we brought Donny (our dinosaur mascot) to dinner with us. Chris was on duty so he couldn't come eat with us. Instead of ordering something to take out for Chris we told the waitress that the additional meal was for Donny...man was she confused. She was even more confused when Dave tried to order a Sundae to go (also for the dino). Some how we got on the subject of my family and I was forced to draw a family tree on a napkin (something I haven't had to do since middle school). Sometimes I feel a bit like a circus act, such is life I guess.
We ended up going to LLBean and not getting back until after 2am. We horsed around a bit, and played nintendo.
HAHA! Ok so we were in the kitchen, and Jon comes out with his little pjs on. And he starts talking. Keep in mind, all of these things were said, in order, while no one else was talking. Completely randomly.
1. Look I'm hanging out.
2. Oh no I have an itch.
3. Ooooo is that water?
4. Give me more.
5. I'm all tied up.
6. Oh no I'm not.
What a weird little governor man.
After a while I actually tried to sleep, but everyone else came in and started talking. I was in that weird state where I was pretty much asleep but I could still hear everything that was being said. So I decided that if I couldn't beat them (and actually sleep) than I mind as well join them. We ended up staying up until 6:30am...bad idea when you have an all day long meeting. Oh well, we had fun. Jon got really frustrated with me because I wasn't really making any sense. My stories/thoughts were not complete at all...but I kept talking. Maryann and I later had a conversation about how she thought the sleeping arrangements were strange, since I slept with Jon, she slept with Chris, and Dave slept with Liz.
The meeting was nuts, I think Mike wondered if we were on drugs or something. Turns out Mike is a really cool guy. He wasn't around for our last board meeting so I had never really had a chance to talk to him. Turns out he is a private investigator and has a mule...who's name I guess has always been whatever the name of the Conventions chair is. So now I guess the mule is named after me. The poor thing will probably have an identity crisis, after all it's been called Barbara for two years.
After the meeting we went to Granny's and then I headed home. We stopped at LLBean AGAIN (making twice in 14 hours). It was cool though. I was so tired when I got home last night, it was terrible. Of course I had 100 things to help mom with so that she could get to bed at a reasonable hour and go to work.
Today I had to get up early to bring the twins to school. They had Christmas parties today so there was a lot of stuff to bring down. When I got back I ended up going back to sleep for a few hours because I felt so terrible. Then I got up and wrapped for HOURS. Literally all day long. It was fun, I brought in my Christmas CD's. I have a few more big things to do tomorrow, but mostly I'm all done. I also made mom her wreath. A little later than I would have liked it but it was really the first time I've had a chance.
OK that is all for now. I hope people are enjoying my new found journaling skills. Mostly it gives me something to do since everyone around here goes to bed by 9. Good Night All!!
