good morning!!!

yeah-it's almost christmas and we get to go to California soon!!! I CANT WAIT. i so love california. in fact, when i lived in ohio for 3 years of pure agony (ok, it wasnt THAT bad, but i do remember asking God why, when i grew up in paradise-santa barbara-did he send me to live in HELL?!?, at one point), anyways, i was obnoxious in ohio, raving on and on about CA and how great it was and the food so good and on and on and on. im sure we lost friends because of it-ah well, if they only knew!

i just read a blog by Christy B., (which is funny, btw) in which she complains about homeschoolers and spelling mistakes in chats, and i SWEAR i want to misspell this whole blog! have i told you how when i first started emailing people, i would often almost type in "busty" instead of "busy"? like "dang, we're so BUSTY right now, we cant keep up", or "my dh is so BUSTY and his students are driving him crazy"or, "im so BUSTY" and so on. it would always crack me up...i laugh at myself a lot-and at other people too, actually. like when my dh was telling me yesterday how he flipped over the handlebars of his bike, then when he came in, holding his hands and threw off his helmet, i was like "STOP JOKING...this is lame..." and he was really HURT! oops...but, i do wish i couldve seen it and am glad he wasnt hurt too badly. in fact, i laugh as i write this.

ok, we got a new baby my dh is going to pick up in Colorado this week...here's a pic (i hope)
so...we're really excited and looking forward to some great camping!!! plus, i can paint plein air, which i really want to do, and dont have time to do, cuz im blogging and goofing around online! HELLO.

ive not read any REALLY great, thought provoking books lately, though i am learning a TON from Julie Morgensterns "time managment from the inside out". I HIGHLY recommend this. it's not intimidating and she does a nice job of offering different options to get what ever it is youre doing to work for YOU...not for miss hyper organized...or not for miss super sloppy (comeon, raise your hand-here's mine!). it's really good. ive learned a lot. how blogging fits in to my time management skills?!? good question-one i wont answer.

bye.
