Hi STAC'ers-

My daughter and I are sick. I haven't felt good enough to read through the posts. I will catch up when I am feeling better. Reading is not fun I can hardly get my eyes to focus- my nose is constanly dripping when it is not completely stuffed. Sneezing, caughing, and blowing my nose is about all I can do.. LOL

I hope you are all doing great.

Julie

dana, where in virginia are you? a couple of us are originially from there (I am from fairfax but went to school in charlottesville) and i am always curious!

i am off to get some new size 10 jeans hemmed, it feels so good to fit into them!!!! a few other errands to run and then some christmas baking. going to make an old czech recipe my grandmother used to make of apricot roll up pastries. i don't really like them (too sweet) so no temptation for me there. also making peanut butter/hershey kiss cookies, will have to put them straight into the tins so i don't want to eat one!!

Thank you.. Today we went to the movies.. none of us got popcorn..but the best thing........................... I didn't have to move the arm of the seat up! WOO HOO... My daughter said do you want me to move the arm.. I said NOPE I am FINE

I don't know if you asked me before...but I am in Williamsburg on the Eastern side of Virginia..

Oh man..today we went into Ben Franklin's Craft Store..and they had THE CUTEST ceramic small loaf pans.. They were so cute..had like Christmas themes on them or pumpkins or snowflakes..and they were ONLY $1.. So I thought.. I could make something in them..like Banana Bread..and I thought about it.. NOPE I couldn't resist that right now.. it will have to wait..lol

Re: Sat Roll Call 12/08/07

Gotta tell you this best thing happened at the market. My friend who I hadn't seen since July at the 4-H fair interupts my conversation with her and said "You've lost a TON of weight" - and of course right now she's my bestest friend in the world - LOL

That is awesome Dana.. I bet it made you feel good Especially if you are like me and have been eyeing chocolate ALL Day at different places

If you any of you saw Facing the Giants..it was done by a low production Christian company.. It was very very good that I bought it.. Noelle was the same kind of thing.. Facing the Giants cost $100,000 to make where a lot of these famous movies are in the Millons..

Now about Noelle..it was a clean movie..did have one little fight.. But Its based on Priest who do drink Alcohol....Which I have friends who are Catholic that drink wine also (My religion we do not drink..I am NOT bashing Catholics..) Did I like it? Yes... But I didn't Love it! There is a website that does Christian Reviews and that would be a good place to go.. But I am willing to support anyone that is trying to bring clean films into the theaters for families...
