…. but I forgot my camera all day today. I’ve been taking pictures with it at school for my daily updates (since its so little I can keep it in my pocket), but I forgot it so there are no pictures of the hilarious giant gingerbread people the children slathered with red hots and jelly beans. I also forgot it for tonight’s Christmas luau, which was a huge success! One of our teachers made leis out of poinsettias, I bought some Hawaiian Christmas music from iTunes, and brought a whole bunch of fruit juices and rum and used my ‘Just try it – it won’t kill you’ bartending skills. Yep. Not one photo.
Anyway, I’m going on a panicked Christmas shopping spree today. What are you doing with your Saturday?
Charles says
The Gebhardts expect about of foot of snow (the soft and fluffy kind) Saturday. Angel Dance practice at 8:45, maybe some shopping, and then the Lutheran High staff Christmas Party at 6:30. We’re bringing green bean casserole and buffalo eggs.
The Exterminator Beth says
Buffalo eggs?
I’m quite certain that buffaloes are mammals.
Lauren says
Notice that I am not making the ‘but they have wings’ joke. (Cue snare drum.)
Cousin Sam says
That’s the North American Bison that is a mammals, my people call them Tatanga. No one knows if the Asia buffalo is a mammal.
Lauren says
Hey, we can’t joke at the same time. That’s dangerous.
Lloyd says
I know, but I’ve sworn to carry the secret to the grave.
Charles says
You have to go to a special butcher to get buffalo eggs. He’s the same one that carries peanut butter balls.
Deborah says
That was me. Not Charles.
Brad says
Hawaiian Christmas music, eh? We listened to Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash yesterday morning during our Secret Santa party.
I’m spending the morning at church because of three different commitments (when will I learn?), then meeting an old friend for dinner. I’ll get to relax a little tomorrow.
Lloyd says
Is it the friend who is old or the friendship?
Cousin Sam says
The concept of dinner is old, and in six day you too.
Lloyd says
That’s just what the cortune fookie said.
Michele says
I’ll be baking my _ss off and listening to Christmas music … licking a little batter here and there. Then I’ll feel half sick and need a nap.
The thought of shopping is too depressing unless I have actual gift ideas. Anyone have any? Shopping for parents is the worst!
Lauren says
I, too, am shopping for in-laws, and with no plan whatsoever. I hope they like buffalo eggs.
Kristi says
Angel Dance? That’s for the girls, right?
Deborah says
Yes. It’s a part of the Sunday school Christmas program of which I am partially in charge. The program is tomorrow. God save us all.
Kristi says
You direct; you sing; you dance???? Is there NOTHING too hard for you?
Deanne says
I was just getting ready for a nap. Yes, a nap at 10 AM. When I received a phone call from a Colombian woman who is having troubles adjusting to the cold. I told her husband I would take her shopping. Some synthetic long johns, a cute (but warm) hat, some yummy mittens. We’ll get her taken care of. So I’m taking her shopping. Then the kids & I are swimming in a “fun” swim meet with our coach & everyone who swims with him. Then we’re having a party with our swim chicks pals & kids. All in all an unproductive but fun-filled day.
And that list that I was working on this morning? It’s gonna have to wait until tomorrow!
Peggy says
I’ll be cleaning, doing laundry, decorating the tree (after we cut one down) & then dinner & a movie with a friend. Christmas shopping will have to wait until tomorrow or next week. YIKES!
Karla says
I’m going to do all the stuff you normally do with a newborn… think about napping, think about a shower and change a lot of diapers…
kiwe says
I had CPR First Aid training all day.
Lauren says
Karla and Kiwe, you have my sympathies… and respect!
Beth says
I kept the book at a wrestling tournament all day. It was awesome! Doing stats for sports is theraputic for me.
Yes, I’m odd.
