Marla sent me info on a website: twobuckduck.com. They have daily deals for $2. I got a coupon for a large pizza and a 2 litre of pop free with the purchase of another large pizza from Bacci's pizza. We got the pizza tonight. We did not care for the pizza. Jesse has gotten it before and liked it. But anyhow, it was a good deal. Check out the website.

This candy jar always reminds me of Grandma. I remember she used to have the 'real' Christmas ribbon candy in it and they always were stuck together...

Just hanging out on the couch. It's nice having her home again, for a while.

Gianni caught a little nap by the Christmas tree today. I sat and watched him sleep wondering what he was dreaming about because he kept smiling...so sweet!

The wind & snow keep knocking Santa over. Today, after school, the kids were outside playing & we saw them working on this plan to keep Santa standing up. It's working so far...

I had the kids outside playing today. All of a sudden a ton of birds landed on the street. This is only a portion of them. Since the snow had covered the grass, I think they were looking for some food.

Flat tire last night as he left for an overtime shift at work. He took the car instead, worked all night, then changed the van's tire this morning, before going to sleep so that he could work another overtime shift tonight before his regular one. He's looking forward to his day off tomorrow.

I was listening to the radio tonight at the right time. They were giving away tickets to "WXRT's Big Holiday Concert" you needed to be the 93rd texter. And, I guess that I was...because I got this text back that I had won. I am giving the tickets to Dylan and his roommate.

Let the fun begin! The first of many ways to keep Gianni out of the presents!

Sigh... I wish that the parents of kids in the kids' schools, scouts, etc would stop forwarding me these multi-forwarded politically charged messages. I appreciate the intention and message behind the religious & inspirational ones. And, I sometimes enjoy the cute & funny ones.
But, the political ones really make me uncomfortable, especially if I don't agree with them. I want to respond, to clarify, to speak my mind when I read them. But, I really don't want to engage in a political debate with them, knowing that we will need to interact with each other at school & scout events. So, most of the time, I try to not let them affect the way I feel about the parent or their children. And, I try to hold my tongue, not reply, not even read them if I can fight the curiosity...
Today, I didn't hold my tongue. Oh, I was polite, but I certainly made it clear that I didn't agree with the message or the intention in this email. Then, I apologized to Annie, letting her know that she might not be invited to this parent's daughters' birthday parties anymore. And, told her that I hope that the daughter's nice to her once they get to high school.
