Day 334: To: Taylor

Taylor wanted me to color with her. So I drew her a picture and wrote "To: Taylor" at the top and wrote " Jessica" at the bottom of the page. Then Taylor drew me a picture...

Day 333: E-mails

I should have learned in nursing school that you never leave a decision to a group of people. You'd think that by now, by this point in my life, that I would have figured out that the bigger the group, the bigger the drama when trying to make a decision. For example, in nursing school they let our class vote to decide if we could wear blue scrubs to clinicals instead of our horrible pleated white astronaut/karate uniforms and after 3 rounds of voting, in which we offered to pay to buy new blue scrubs for anyone that said no, we still had to walk around like abominable snowmen...

But obviously I did not learn, because today I sent an open ended e-mail out to our entire college/career age ministry at church about a t-shirt design and holy cow the e-mails! 5 hours, 88 e-mails, 2 g-mail chats, 3 facebook messages, and 52 text messages later....I finally just made the decision myself and decided that if anyone is upset, mad, has their feelings hurt...well oh well, that's life. I blame myself for the entire situation because I should have known better....

and in the midst of all of this I burnt my chin on a piece of pizza...still not sure how that happened, but it hurt!

how can something so tasty be so dangerous?

Day 332: It's beginning to feel like Christmas

I started wrapping Christmas presents today.

these are for 7 people...good thing my siblings and I drew names for Christmas presents cause if I had to buy for everyone this stack would be quadrupled.

Oh there was also another present (for my roommate), but I let her open it early and I was so happy that I did. She screamed with delight, it was great! I kinda want to go buy her more presents just cause her reaction was so fun....I'm gonna be broke after this Christmas.

Day 331: Mille Bornes

Every time my family gets together we play some kind of game. Usually its "Aww Heck", last year it was Blockus (which I won), and this year we rediscovered Mille Bornes. It's a French card game that we played all the time as kids and I just learned that Timothy cheated back then cause the rule book definitely has different rules...

anyway, Timothy insisted that we play every time someone sat down at the table. So at breakfast and lunch we all had to play...even though Timothy was losing and he's a terrible loser. It was still lots of fun (mostly cause I beat Timothy cause he wasn't allowed to cheat anymore!)

Day 330: Rainy Day

As tradition states, the day after Thanksgiving is when we decorate for Christmas. Timothy put up the lights outside in the rain, he's very dedicated.

Meanwhile I stood on the front porch taking pictures...there were a TON of lizards

I see you!

Day 329: Happy Thanksgiving!
