I was just too tired to write last night, mea culpa. Alesia had dance class, and while there I had to run to Walmart and buy felt for her to make a hat in her Home Ec class. They don't call it Home Ec, but that's what it is. I asked her tonight if she had the hat and she said "No Mom! It take s a long time!"
I got my Christmas 2005 letter composed on my lunch hour, but it's not quite ready to send out. I need to tweak it some. I got a copy to Mother to send out to her folks, since she doens't type as much as I do.
We fixed a special dinner tonight, steak and lobster tails. [Publix had a good sale last weekend on lobster tails] Alesia walked by the pot and saw the lobster tails and said "What's THAT?!" with a look of horror. I said they were lobster tails. She peered into the pot, shuddered, said "Oooh, they look funny! And scary!" and hurried off to get her shower. Too funny.
I finally had a chance to talk to my cousin Lesleigh. She didn't join the family for Thanksgiving in Florida, and I'm not sure what she did; seemed to be a sore subject so I didn't ask. Victor [her live-in boyfriend] has a new job and is doing well, so that's a plus. We are going to the movie Sunday, so we can visit beforehand and catch up.
I need to get to bed early because I've got to start getting up earlier. By the time I scrape off my windshield I'm late leaving and Alesia needs to get to school by 8 for her math tutoring. I wish we could get the garage cleaned out enough to get my car in there. Maybe this weekend...
