One More Chance

I'm going to give you a little longer to comment HERE to win the ABCYC Giveaway...a brand new LIMITED EDITION of the ABC Youth Choir Christmas CD.

The winner will be announced this afternoon, so hurry...leave those comments about your favorite Christmas carols....

Yesterday was full and crazy and fun...

Indie and I spent the morning at court for the speeding ticket I got a month ago...

We were there for what seemed like forever, but it was only really a couple hours. When we first walked in, I picked the seat next to the snoring guy. He was sawing some heavy-duty logs. I needed the giggle.

I had the most gracious judge. I watched her for a long time with the others and was so grateful at how compassionate she seemed about every case. I got off easy~ $120 and I just can't get another ticket for a year and it won't go on my record.

Indigo was an angel. Thank GOD! He kept whispering things like, "What does 'guilty' mean?" and when I got back to my seat after being before the judge, he said, "Good job, Mama, you did GOOD!" He was very supportive. :) As we were leaving, one of the clerks walked out with us and said, "You were SO good, we didn't even know you were here!" He wasn't so sure that he liked that...but hearing things like that sure do make mothers grateful...

When I got home, my brother and his wife, Phyllis pulled in!!! I knew they were coming sometime this week, but was pleasantly surprised that they made it this soon. They're going to rent a place in Minneapolis for a few months, maybe longer! I've been waiting to be sure that it really came together, but they're here! And I can't even believe it.

So we spent the day talking, laughing, catching up~ it's been SO long since I've seen Phyllis! She'd never met Indigo either, so that was so fun. They hit it right off. And then Phyllis and Greyley~ they're like two peas in a pod. Greyley is a big knitter, as you know, and Phyllis is a big crocheter. So Phyllis taught Greyley how to crochet. They were both thrilled with that.

Troi, Phyllis and I are all big dreamers, so boy, do we ever have the big plans going...if they pan out~ watch OUT! I'm going to sit and learn. They're both skilled at so many things, way beyond me in so many areas~ every area, really...I'm super excited to have this time with them. It's going to be loads of fun, I can just feel it.

So back to the choir CD...as I write this, Nate is over at the studio, mixing the night away. He has to be done by 8 in the morning, so he will be working all night. Does that make you want to leave a comment all the more? Feel free to comment again, even if you've already left a comment...it will up your chances of winning! Yeah, I know that's not usually allowed, but...go for it.

Good luck! Super excited to give this one away.

The one that tops it for me is "Chestnuts Roasting by an Open Fire".
The reason being, (as you well know) when you and your friend Destiny wanted the experience;
So, what did I do, being the "fella" that I am.
Roasted chestnuts in the fireplace (open fire). I have never seen such spittin' and sputterin' and gagin' in all my Christmas carol hearin' days.
Love you,
dad
