E takes the ACT test today for the first time. The highest score of 31 can get a Bright Flight scholarship of $2000 a year from the state. That would be alright, I'm thinking.
J is gone to a sleepover at a friend's and not back until noonish. Could that mean?!..Is it possible?! ..YES! I am alone! OMG! I am going to start right in on my projects. As soon as I drink another round of java.
Bought our Christmas tree last night from the local grocery store. Poor things, having been cut last June are shedding and looking thirsty. I was going to head to the closest tree farm 25 miles away and cut a fresh one but the hail storm this summer took out their crop. Anyway, I sawed off the bottom 4 inches of this one and stuck it on a nice warm bucket of water in the garage last night. Oh, my, the garage smells nice. Guess we will put up the tree tonight and a bit of other decorations. It's a delight to smell the scent of fir the first moments of lucidity in the morning. I almost forget I'm the age I am and I am transported back to my childhood.
Crap! I was just reminded my daughter has a watch (she never wears) and I just bought her one for Christmas. Good Grief! She had it on for the test or I wouldn't have remembered she had one. Guess I have a new watch. And I do need one.
One more week of school and we are out until January 5th. There is some nasty looking weather coming in this week looking to last the entire week as well. I really want to get this week in before we leave for break so I'm crossing my fingers. I sure hope things up north improve for those folks. It looks a lot like our ice storm from '07.
I have some interesting visitors. Some from far away such as Portugal and some from as close as Springfield Missouri. Don't you always wonder who might be lurking and what their stories are? Welcome anyhow.

We have an artificial tree and I do miss the smell of pine in the house, but it sure is easier to care for.
Good luck to E on the big test.
I always wonder who is reading what I write. Wish everyone would leave a comment every now and then.
We had a real tree when I was growing up...now it's just easier to have a fake tree--but I miss that lovely pine smell, as well.
Just wanted you to know I was "lurking" around your blog... :)
I get a pine candle if I don't have a real tree any given year.
We, too, have one more week of school until next year. If we get a bad winter and have a lot of snow days, we'll be in school until July. sheesh.
But I hate having so much time off because I'll have to take a lot of leave to cover day care.
I hear you Mom. My mother went that route finally and it is so much easier.
E said all of it save the science portion was pretty easy but the score will show. I don't know how long before grades come out. And she can take it a few more times if it's not where she wants it.
I know my regular readers by the addresses on StatCounter and like wise I can see the addresses of the visitors whom I don't know. I don't mind if they dont comment really.
Miss H, you are welcome to lurk and thanks. I do the same for you although I sometimes stay hidden.
Anne, has the weather been bad there at all? I suppose some of this we will get will pass your way.
I don't mind a few snow days maybe in January or February but not right now and certainly not more than is built in to our schedule. But I don't really have any authority over the weather, doggone it!
I do hate those tacked on days at the end of a school year.
wow good luck to E on the ACT testing. adam takes his next spring...scary thought.
and as far as the people who visit? omg...some seem to be right next door-kind of freaks me out!
We drove to the mountains and cut down a tree over the weekend. It's up now.
It's in the entrance way though since the living room ceiling is 9 feet tall and the tree is ??? big!
Kimmy watch out for the ones right next door- really.
I was happy that E wasn't freaked out about the test. She was pretty cool.
Gnomey, you make me jealous. And the house smells grand, huh?
And I just looked again at tiny avatar pic and finally recognized the boy! It looked like a Galapagos tortoise for some reason. Couldn't have been those mushrooms...
