Happy 2008!

Happy Birthday Mom! Happy Birthday Chris!

We had a happy New Year, although it was too windy to shoot fireworks. We managed a few. I fell asleep so I missed the ball drop. I think I did that last year too.

Aunt Sandi, I took Marli to Bookland to use her gift card yesterday. I am certain you would have never thought to get her what she bought as a gift. A book and CD to learn to speak German. Yep. I was impressed. I know she is smart and all that, but the thing that impressed me was that she put down the Wii and took up speaking German. She was already awake and listening to the CD and reading along in her book when I left home this morning.

We also went to Cato shopping ( Thank you again for the gift card, mimi!) and they were having a half price sale. I found a cute blouse and a nice pullover. I love the colors in this shirt. Turquoise, brown, black. Now I have to make some jewelry to match. I am wearing my gold hoops set with it now and it looks okay. I also found some black boots. I wore my other pair OUT. My pinky toes were peeping out the sides. These are pointy toe boots with about a 2" spiky heel. They feel new, too. My feet are already aching. That could be because it's under 20 degrees here!

My neighbor was out in her head wrap this morning tending to her cats and getting her paper. She saw me come out and says "shuur is cold, ain't it? Well, bye!" She didn't stick around for an answer! It would have been a good time for snow. Oh well. It is Mississippi.
