The following are the only things that remain on my previously posted list!
2. Fill out forms for loan so I can afford school!
5. Write up a mock bulletin for review.
(actually the bulletin is done, I just need to tweak it a bit)
8. Get everything together for Murder Mystery Dinner at our house next Friday. (tomorrow!)
So YAY!!! Big stuff is behind me now!!!!
The banquet went well, I only lost my cool a few times today. I'm completely exhausted. The kids made me cry a bit (in a good way). They are so fun sometimes!
I made a ham, 2 turkeys, corn, green bean casserole, stuffing, sweet potatoe casserole, mashed potatoes, homemade gravy, cranberry sauce, and rolls. We fed 88 people. We had big serving size disposable aluminum pans from Sam's club leftover of mashed potatoes, green bean cass, sweet pot cass, stuffing and corn. Basically all the side dishes! HA!
Tomorrow is the murder mystery dinner and I have to make sauce and a cheesecake still. I need to vacuum and mop, and DECORATE! I will SOOO be taking pics! I'm so excited... I made a few phone calls and got some ski equipment so now the house will really (hopefully) look like a ski lodge! C drill holes in some logs to put tea lights in so I can fill the fireplace w/ flames w/out actually adding heat to the house... 'cause, ya know, it's hot in Texas.
On my way home from the church tonight I was on the phone w/ C and he says I got you a surprise, we got off the phone and I started driving a little faster... I pulled onto our street and got to the spot where I usually reach up and push the button in my car that opens the garage door... I pushed and nothing happened, I got closer and pushed again, still nothing, so I pushed AND held the button in for a few more seconds still nothing (by now I'm in the driveway)! Because our neighbors on both sides of us have young kids I didn't do what I REALLY WANTED TO DO which was to just sit in the driveway and lean on the horn. I grabbed my cell off the dash to call my hubby who I KNEW was working in the garage when I saw it.... my wonderful, sweet, kind, thoughtful, and loving husband had installed a keybutton entry pad for our garage! YAY! except that now the button in my car doesn't work... so now I have to get out, and enter the code to either open the garage to get in or to close the garage when I am leaving. HM! Not so sure I'm liking this anymore. He's going to see if he can't get this worked out tomorrow.
We are having another couple over for dinner and games on Sat night so I CAN REST ALL DAY ON SAT!!! YAY!!! MAYBE I'll scrap and maybe I WON'T!!!
Night all, I'm exhausted!

Hi Denise,
I found your blog through the TT list. I did my first post yesterday. Your life sounds so busy, but fun too. You are really getting all of it done. Funny about the garage, isn't that always the case? Anyhow, I started a new blog, practicingcontentment. If you get a chance, please stop by and let me know how I'm doing.
Thanks!
Karianne
