Multitasking

Whooooooooh! Life has been a whirl wind of insanity! FUn TiMeS....Let me seeeeee...Michelle and Carlos flew in on Friday and Steve Taunton and family got here Sunday so we were able to spend time with family that we don't see very often. Let me tell you, y'all think I am insane, you should meet my mom's side of the family! We got along with them GREAT!

Sunday, Dad, Mom, Dana, Michelle, Carlos, and I went to see WICKED. It was incredible I think every one should see it at least once. You know how they say there is two sides to every story? Well WICKED is the other side of The Wizard of OZ and in my oh so humble opion it is better by far.

Unfortunately I did not have my camera so any pictures that I get will have to come later.

Now that Thanksgiving is over it is time to start gearing up for Christmas. YEHAW!!!! This year we will have a Christmas Tree and I think I am just excited about that as anything else :)

I only have three more class periods before this semester is OvEr THANK YOU JESUS!!! A speech on Wednesday, and final exams on Monday and Wednesday is all I have to endure till freedom.....for a couple of weeks anyway.

Sorry I don't have anything really exciting to write about but maybe next time.....

Money Spent, an Art Project, and an old Addiction :P

Here, my friends, is proof that patience does pay off. I found this awesomely cool pair of boots last year that I wanted really bad....the only problem....they were $80. Now for those of you who have never been shopping with me, let me tell you a little secret...I am a tight wad. I do not like to spend a lot of money on anything I buy. This is where the patience comes in....I put off buying the boots because I did not want to pay that much for them. BUT guess what......... this year they are on SALE!!! SO I bought them :)

WAY CUTE!!!

While mom and I were in the store she looked down at the shoes I had on and shook her head "Brookie" she said "those shoes you have on are pitiful. They need to be burned". I looked down and felt bad for my poor shoes. I could not believe some one would say something so hurtful right in front of them. "But mom they are the best pair of shoes I have....I mean for three years they have served me well. They have been through the washing machine, fall festivals, and mud puddles and you can still tell that they are supposed to be white!" Mom gave me a look that said my shoes days were numbered and said "Lets go see what is on the sale rack"(see where I get my tight waddedness from?:) Any way... point of the story....I found a replacement for my white shoes!!!!

Okay so maybe I need some new laces for them but they are awesome! Now my shoes can Retire in peace knowing that a younger pair of shoes is taking their place.

Whoo... this is turning out to be a lot longer than I expected! But on we plunge. My newest art project...scrap tiles (I don't know the real name for it but that works for me). Basically it is a scrap book page on a tile. I made this one for a Christmas present for a family member :) (I hope Nana does not read this :)

Now I am going to say adios and indulge my self in some therapy :P

YEP it is king size :P

Not much exciting going on in this life as of right now....just work school and church....thought I would share a comic I just found....Lola :) love this old lady...

And the Count Down Starts!!!

ONLY FOUR MORE WEEKS OF THIS SEMESTER!!!!

That means 7 more classes! Whoot Whooot!

As you can tell I am not excited about this at all (totally being sarcastic). Seeing how it is the last leg of the semester that means that the work is piling on... so here is what I have been working on........

Yeah....as you can tell I am hard at work at procrastinating :) I am getting to be a pro at that :)

adios my friends :)

Family~~~~AWWWWWW!!!!

SOOOOOO..... We, the Ford family FINALLY had family pictures taken. Bout time....last time we had pictures taken Tyler was shorter than Dana and the same height as me....that was four or five years ago. Long time....

First of all let me say a great big THANK YOU to Matt Rodgers for taking the pictures and working with our weird schedules. Matt you did an awesome job!

Now some of the Pictures!!

Definitely one of my Favorites

Watty Dog

More later....

Guess What!????!!!!

Only 52 more days till CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

Ok so I LOVE Winter and Christmas.

The fall and winter season is the best time of the year, in my oh so humble opinion :) The only problem is it is totally a couple season :( Other than that I love the crisp cool mornings and the crunch of leaves under foot. There is nothing better than bundling up to sit around the house (or to go out side) and being able to see your breath in front of you.

I cant believe it is time to start Christmas shopping....got to get busy cause I have many people to buy for this year. My family started a new tradition a few years back and I love it. Each person buys at least two stocking stuffers for the others in the family, that means each person gets at least eight wrapped gifts in their stocking.(Some people get more cause the ones doing the buying forget that they already have something for the person and buy something else:) Love when this happens :) This year Tyler is getting some car air fresheners that I forgot to give him last year. It is fun to invent ways to wrap things so the person can not guess what is in the package (like wrapping a comic book like a giant candy). Then on top of that we get the other things that don't fit in a stocking. And best of all I live the SNOW!!!

(as long as I don't have to drive in it)

If you and your family have any Christmas traditions please feel free to share them with me....I love comments...in fact you will hurt my feelings if you don't comment :)
