So, I realized I hadn’t posted in a while. And Camryn and I have been receiving requests to continue. So here goes:

Life is fairly interesting, especially with Christmas practically here. Camryn has been a gift-giving fanatic (i don’t mean this  in a bad way at all – she just has been really excited to give everyone gifts) I, on the other hand, think that Christmas has come really fast -I still have to make part of Rachel’s present. Oh well.

School is out now. Thank goodness! My day yesterday consisted of caroling with my French horn with a bunch of other brass kids (we went to a bunch of places) and wondering why the boys in eighth grade are so bizzare.

Probably anybody reading this- the adults mainly- will say something along the lines of me being into boys, or wondering why I bring the subject up. Well, they were absolutely disgusting, thank you very much. Grace and I were stuck eating between a boy who was spewing saltines and a bunch of boys that  were mixing mountain dew, jello, sweetener, ketchup, and who knows what else. Before the ketchup, they were passing it around, taking turns trying it. Honestly-what was going through their minds? But I guess what they lack in common sense, they make  up for in brains in other fields. Half those boys are among the really smart kids in the grade, academically speaking. I see them in gifted class.

To tell the truth, Grace and I spent half the time watching the boys’ table. It was better than watching the chewed up crackers spewing from the boy at our table. HE was more inappropariate and annoying than weird, so yes, we watched the boys’ table. But maybe not for the reasons you think of when you hear of eighth grade girls watching an eighth grade boys’ table.

That was yesterday. Today  we are making sugar cookies and READING. Ahh…the joy of reading leisurely….curling up with a good book and slipping into oblivion….

We went to the library and came back with literally fifty-five books. Eleven were mine. So you may not hear too much from me today.

Well, I think I have written enough for now!!!!! Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!!!!!!
