Christmas shopping already???

This evening Mark and I drove to 4 different stores looking for the Pink LeapFrog TAG system. Finally found it at ToysRUs. I never thought this day would come so soon. Now I know how my mom felt when Cabbage Patch dolls and Pound Puppies were all the rage. The good thing about the purchase tonight was that we got the Pink TAG system plus three books for under $50 total. I sure do love manufacturer's coupons. Now the big decision. Should we give Mira her present now or wait until Christmas?

We are going to be putting our Christmas tree up tomorrow. Mark is off work and I only work from 12pm - 5pm. Mira will have a blast helping put the decorations up.

Ode to the electronic cat

It has been about 2 hours since Mira has finally fallen asleep. Now all I hear is the Beach Boys lullaby CD playing in her room and the Meowing and Purring of her little kitty. She sleeps with it every night and cuddles it. I'm afraid that when the batteries finally do run out, she won't be able to sleep at all. Pray that the batteries last at least until Christmas. :0)

Things are going great with school. Mark is doing wonderful in his second class of his MBA. I am doing great as well. Two A's, a B, and one that is borderline A/B. Not to shabby. Next semester will be my last at BCTC. I only have 19 hours left for the AA but the classes I need are not offered within the timeframe I need them to be in. So I am going to forego the AA and just transfer to EKU for my BS.

I am really enjoying my ASL class and am signed up to take the next one in the Spring. I hope to continue the ASL classes at EKU to complete a minor in the subject. It should be very helpful with my Spec. Ed. degree.

Thanksgiving is just right around the corner. I have been so busy with family, school, and work that time seems to have been lost. I guess I should start thinking about where and when the Christmas tree is going to go up. I have started with my holiday decoration already though. I have set up the lead crystal nativity set which is a Christmas staple at my house.

Well off to dream land for another visit. God bless to all!
