May You Have Something Wonderful to Drink as You Ring In the New Year!
Photo taken with the lens my parents gave me for Christmas and a +2 diopter filter. More details at Flickr, just click the picture.
We’re heading to Kenny & Elaine’s to ring in the New Years with friends, good food & games. It will be a nice way to start off 2006. This [...]
Bouncing Along…
We watched Roll Bounce today and I *loved* it. I would put it right up there with some of my other favorites, like “Remember the Titans”. Is it a movie you watch for the best acting in the world? No, although I thought the acting was good. It probably isn’t going [...]
Roll Bounce!
I rented “Roll Bounce” for $1 today at McDonald’s and I’m going to watch it tonight. Living large, living large! Actually, ever since I saw the preview for it, I wanted to check it out. For $1, how could I really go wrong? Well … we’ll see. I’ll post an [...]

At the Butterfly Museum. Fancy photos tonight!
Perfect.
The first two years of my college career back in 1987-1989 were far from perfect. Picking a major that I ended up hating was probably a bad start. (Elementary education – I have no tolerance for ignorance, so what WAS I thinking?) My Mom & I still laugh sadly at the irony that [...]
As if I don’t have enough to worry about.

My parents got me a new lens for my camera for Christmas, so I had to go out and find photo subjects in the backyard to test it out!

I’ve had this ornament ever since I was a little girl. I think our neighbors gave it to me when I was about 3. I must have it on the tree every year – it just isn’t Christmas without it!
Happy Holidays to everyone! May Santa bring you everything on your list!

I miss having a thumb. I will get to see mine again on January 3rd, but until then, I am really limited. I can’t type, but my texting skills are definitely improving!

Beware of the club! (The “yes” is on the underside of my arm with the arrow pointing at my hand.)

The nurse and I really wanted to be sure that Dr. Hand knew where to cut, so she wrote “YES” on my arm at my request.
Quick update
Mike here. (Ooh, I’m posting on her blog. Must not get giddy with the power…!) The surgery went well; Christine is sleeping it off at the moment. Nothing else too exciting to report. Thanks for everybody’s well wishes. Happy holidays!
Surgery day.

Getting in a few more rounds before my hand surgery.
Getting Nervous…
I’ve known that the surgery tomorrow has been coming for months. I think we first decided to do it in October, and we scheduled it in November. I’ve had plenty of time to think about it – but now that it is less than 12 hours away, I’m starting to get nervous. [...]
No Help…
I was just shopping online at BestBuy.com – I love to “order” my items for store pickup, that way I can get in and out of the store in a flash. I added my goodies to my cart, selected what store I wanted, and left the computer for a few minutes to talk to [...]
Santa Stalker…
I found Santa!
Just to be clear, this wasn’t the guy that is paid to be in the holiday photos with the kids. Oh no, this man was The Real Thing. I am sure of it. He had the beard, the glasses, the hat – he was shopping for gifts! I wonder [...]
Coming Up For Air…
Whew! It has been a WHIRLWIND of a week, and it isn’t over yet.
- Finals were on Tuesday & Wednesday. Once I figured out that I only needed a 40 on my Biology final and an 80 or so on my Algebra final, I put the books away Monday night and got some [...]

The 122 on my last Biology test means that even if I get a 40 on the final, I will get an A! Whoo hoo!
Biology, Algebra, Chemistry, And Back to the Beginning…
I’m all about the books this week. Well, the books and those tests I had done on Friday. The CT scan drink or one of the meds they gave me left me with an icky tummy for the past few days. So I can either be found sleeping or studying. Or [...]
