Happy New Year's.
No big plans, thus far. Love Man has been sick. Now, Miss Brunette is sick.
Movies are in my future.

Screen Saver Picture
Remember yesterday when I was taking about the picture Miss Brunette took over the summer.
Several people, including Love Man and a guy in her photography class have the picture as their screen saver.
It is of a creek in Yellowstone Naitonal Park. So beautiful there.

Picture Perfect
This is the pic that Miss B took in Flagstaff. She wanted to be on the Christmas card with something like Merry Christmas from the blah, blah, blah family. Sadly, it did not make the card. She has some other pic that some guy in her photography class uses for his screen saver. It is now Love Man's. I will see if I can find it.
I think she is bugged that this pic did not make the card. It was a really difficult decision, it took me all of 15 minutes to compose and order our card and there are no real winners or losers here. There really aren't.

A Tiring Day
What a day!
I had a flat tire on Christmas Eve and we went to put air in it. The air machine was broken, so we drove the other car. On Boxing Day, we went to get air - the machine was still broken. We drove to another gas station that has an air compressor machine. We waited at least 20 minutes, while some guy was airing up what appeared to be his daughter's bike and fixing the chain.
Love Man drove the car to Discount Tires. I picked him up. He said, "bad news, we need four new tires."
I drove us home. He got his moped. We all drove to where he was dropping up his moped at the North Mountain Visitor's Center. We drove to Tatum Boulevard, where Love Man began a nearly 10 mile hike.
I went around returning and exchanging things. I was at the Happy Valley Towne Center exchanging at the T.J. Maxx and drove the short distant to the Ross. Love Man's car was suddenly making a terrible noise. Some man kept starting to walk up to my car and then stopped. He later did come up to me and said "You have a really flat tire."
I went to Ross and then called Triple A. Another man wanted to know if I needed help. I said, "I have a really flat tire. I called Triple A, the spare has to be inflated and has to use the lug nuts with it. It is a pain. Thanks anyway." He did get down on the ground and pointed out that I had a screw in my tire.
I called Miss Brunette who laughed and I instructed her to text Love Man informing him that I called Triple A and remembered about the lug nut thing. That lug nut thing cost us a huge towing bill and a repair once.
I had time to duck into World Market before Triple A arrived. He was going to tow to the car
to the tire store across the way. "No, I want to go to my store. This tire is under warranty." He started to get out my spare. "You don't want to do that. It is such an ordeal. Can't you just fill the tire with air and I will go straight there." He thought about it and filled the tire with 40 pounds of air. Too much, but enough if I lost some air.
I drove to the store. The man looked incredulously at me. I can not be the only person in the world who had tire trouble today. The other car was done. I drove home.
An hour or so later, we were on our way to the movies, I called Discount. We needed a new tire, but it was under warranty. I think it cost us $23 dollars and some change. I guess the screw ruined the tire, because it is worse than getting a nail in the tire. I don't know and don't really care.
Last night before we went to bed, I asked Love Man if both cars were in the garage as I wanted to keep the 5 new tires safe.
It is always something.

Santa in the House
Love Man drove around the neighborhood dressed as Santa. It is hysterical. We follow in the car and laugh our heads off. People look, do a double take and then laugh. The little kids wave their arms off. It is a blast.
Merry Christmas.

December the 24th
I got up this morning, made the chili and cornbread, cut up vegetables, assembled the dip and have now made about a gazillion of these little cookies. I made them every year on Christmas Eve and we eat them all through Christmas Day.
Peanut Blossoms in the name of the culprit and they have to be made with Brach's Chocolate Stars.
OMG.

If My Friend's Daughter Says So
Blonde Girl has been trying out for the 7th grade girl's basketball team. She made the first cut and was to have found out on Thursday afternoon if she made the team or not. She also was going to a sleepover immediately after school. She and some of the other girls were riding home with the birthday girl's mother.
I told her, "You text me and let me know if you made it or not." I meant the team. I also reminded her if she didn't make it that she should congratulate the other girls and be happy for them.
She did not call. I texted her twice. She did not call.
I later got a text from the Divine, Mrs. M, my friend, which read "my daughter told me the wonderful news....Blonde Girl made the basketball team. My daughter is thrilled because I am. :)"
That is how I found out.
I later found out that Blonde Girl went out to see who made the team and when she came back to class, she was smiling. This info, of course, was also courtesy of Mrs. M.
I later, much later, got a text from Blonde Girl saying, "Guess who made the girl's basketball team?"

Ta Da!
Things are coming to a close around here. Today was the last day of the girl's school. They are delighted and looking forward to doing nothing. Miss B has made a movie rental list and Blonde Girl is at a birthday party sleepover.
Love Man has new glasses. He has high glasses satisfaction.
It has been cold here. In fact, Sadie cried in the night. Love Man thought she wanted out and I said,
"she is just cold."

A Baby!
My girls are screaming that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (aka William and Kate) are having a baby. They are thrilled that if the baby is a boy or girl, that child will be an heir to the throne.
It is going to be fun to watch this.
I still LOVE HARRY.
