I'm taking my pastor's advice, and I'm not going to be pressured into being politically correct anymore. Merry Christmas to everyone. No more Seasons Greetings, or Happy Holidays.

I just ROCKED last night at our bowling league! I started out average... got an even 100. Then blew everyone away when I marked EVERY SINGLE FRAME to get a whopping 202!!! Woohoo!! I have to say, even I was shocked! Then obviously tired my arm out too much because I dropped to a 98 for the third game, but that's okay.

CUZ I BROKE A 200 GAME

So I took on watching this new baby for friends of mine from church, and he's wonderful and darling and all good things... when he's with them. Then he starts coming to me for day care, and all he does is scream. And scream, and scream, and scream, and SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm starting to feel not worthy.
