Yes and I have a bio and math quiz tomorrow and I'm gonna have to find another time to do them on my own because we're performing for both high school and elementary school! :angry: :thud:songofsongs said:Oh! Is your concert on tonight, Mandy?

I hate that! It seems to happen to me every year!tredder said:Yay, Amy! :lol: Congratulations on the gift purchasing and wrapping! I still have most of my gift shopping to do, and I'm completely uninspired! Or, in the case of Mr. Tredder, I know exactly what I want to get him, but can't afford it! Drat!

Amy, do you go through the cards so you can trim down your Christmas card list? I have to say, Mr 5x5 and I are both a little crazy when it comes to Christmas cards. We sent 125 last year. :blink: We both have large families and many friends! :lol:Aliasfix said:I went through all my old Christmas cards too! I have a bad habit, or maybe it's good, I don't know, of keeping all the cards from last year in a basket that gets packed up with the decorations. Then when I pull them out the next year, I can go through all of them again - it's kind of fun! But I realized I had cards and pictures from 3 years ago in there, so I sorted them all out, put the photos in my photo box (there's a project for another day! ), and tossed the cards. I've already gotten two Christmas cards for this year, so my basket is out, ready for more!
Which reminds me - we still need to get a family snapshot taken for our Christmas card, and I need to type up a letter to send out. The 'Our year in a nutshell' letter! Wouldn't be so bad if more exciting things happened to us during the year, but we're fairly boring, so making the letter interesting is tough!

:shocked: Well, no, you don't have to...<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>but it's a nice way of remembering friends and family. </span>DGSE-analyst said:Fortunately i don't have to write cards... :lol:

Yay! Your Christmas card sounds great! Sometime next week, we're going to take a lil 5x5 photo for the inside of our card. (Not everyone receives photos--those are for our A-list! )tredder said:I still need to get my Christmas card photo taken, too! Ours will be of one of the llamas, though. I really should have taken it before the rains set in. :doh:
I love online shopping, too! I don't like malls at the best of times, and I really hate them when they're crowded. I try to go to some of the small, locally-owned shops, but that can be kind of hit-or-miss for gifts. I think I'm going to go to the First Friday in Troutdale this Friday, and see whether I can find anything there. I know I could find things I want, anyway! I'm still trying to coax Prime into coming with me. Hey, it's only a six or seven hour drive!

I'd kinda love that a lot.tredder said:We still need to work out our schedule. Mr. Tredder's mom went into the hospital on Thanksgiving with a racing heartbeat. She's home now, but we want to spend some quiet time with her. His uncle in Connecticut has been in the hospital for a couple of months with some sort of rare, tropical pneumonia :blink: , so we'll be going there to visit him, too. I'll let you know if I can free up some time, though! I'd love to see you and 5x5 while I'm in the area!

*sigh* I was 4 minutes late. But traffic was evil. I had to sit and wait, along with 5 other cars, while a child crossed the street (I understand that it's good to have the people who stand on the corners by schools and stop traffic so kids can get safetly across, but they still annoy me). I got there before my prof started doing anything though, so it wasn't bad.tredder said::hi: Melly and Nsspense! I'm sort of envious that Melly can be in her pjs fifteen minutes before class and still (we hope) get to school on time! :lol: :lol:

Thanks (she of course ended up picking the one that I was finishing up last minute and didn't really proof read to be the paper that she was going to do the comma check on *sigh* so I'm just gonna keep my fingers crossed and hope that it was okay. I suppose I could look over it on my computer now and see how many points I'll be losing)5x5 said:Good luck, Mel! :smooch:

I'm off to read page 148 and 149 now...can you do mulitple quotes from multiple pages?

You are definitely A-list!tredder said:<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>*fervently wishes that she was on the 5x5 A-list*</span>
I wish I could do that! I can see things artistically, but I definitely can't translate them onto the page. The best I can do is take reasonably decent photos.
I'm sure I'll manage something!

Huh. I had no idea that Christmas cards aren't done in France. Any place else I should know about? I know my friends in England send a holiday card every year but it could be because she's American.DGSE-analyst said:ldhi: everyone...
Just wanted to say that if i don't write cards for christmas it's b/c it's not a french tradition, nobody write cards here...
And i can't really participate in the gift purchasing discussion b/c i have no money to buy anything

You are definitely A-list!
Mr 5x5 makes a black-and-white card and either paints them factory-style (a table covered in cards in rows, usually about 50 at a time: red, red, red, green, green, green... :lol: ) or he enlists my help to paint a few. Those make me nervous, though. :lol:

Doesn't anyone want to come see me? I've got cookies. Today I've been eating the peanut butter ones, with peanut butter cups in them. Actually cookies are all I've eaten today Maybe I'll make a pizza for dinner.tredder said:Oh boy! The 5x5s, the Hars, and the Tredders do New York!
