Yes, Virginia, there really IS a tabletop...

This evening has been rather productive. I started with a pile next to the monitor that was nearly 2 feet tall. It is now......(drum roll, please......) GONE! Sorry if that's anti-climactic for you. Next time I'll be sure to take pictures. I think I'll celebrate with another Fat Squirrel. And just in case anyone is coming from dat dere nort contry...I could use another case. (BTW, the spell checker DOES NOT LIKE dat dere nort contry. Obviously, it isn't from Wisconsin.)

Cheers!

Turkeys

Just about every day we have a flock of turkeys that ambles through our yard. There are two adults and about 14 young'uns. Last year, we only had 6 or 7. Does that mean that next year we'll have 30 turkeys in our yard????

Julianna Can Tie

Big news! Julianna has learned to tie her own shoes! Yippee! She's been doing it for a week already. (I'm slow.) She will even tie Bethany's shoes for her, and she doesn't spontaneously do nice things for B that often.

J was so excited, she had to make some phone calls!

Bethany has now decided that she doesn't need to learn to tie, since J will do it for her. Hmmm...

Child Labor

Julianna's new thing is to go to work with Curt. It starts out the same. She's all pumped up about it; she's going to stay ALL DAY and not whine and want me to come pick her up. Yeah, right. Both yesterday and today she lasted about 90 minutes. She wants to help so much! She's a very good barcode scanner, and is working on swiping credit cards. However, the cash register area at KoSports is very tiny and cramped. One person doesn't have much room to move around, much less two. (God bless Ellen for putting up with Julianna for a while both days!) What we really need is a 10,000 sq. ft. building, and then she could have her own cashwrap area (out of everyone else's way). I'll keep dreaming. At least Julianna's not asking for a raise!

Still kicking

Yes, I am still alive and kicking. Just under siege, with jerseys, wind suits, shells, bags, and other hockey paraphernalia. I was in a major panic last night and this morning about front logos and how I was going to get them onto the jerseys. I am very excited to say that I FIGURED IT OUT ALL BY MY LITTLE OLE SELF! Isn't it wonderful when something works the way it's supposed to? Check it out:
Ginormous thanks to Jen, Elyse, and LaVerne for keeping up with all the tackle twill lettering, and for Bill, Norma, and Ed for entertaining the girls while I worked. You guys are AWESOME!
