Thursday Things.

During our 6 day trip in Kansas, I took a total of 222 photos. I kept 181 of the best.

I will post a recap of my Goals for 2010 tomorrow and my new Goals for 2011 on January 1.

Next year, we will not visit Kansas for Christmas. We will stay here in Minnesota and host our own. You are all invited. Please leave the drama at home. Thanks in advance.

This year I gave 3 coffee mugs as gifts, by far my favorite thing to give and receive. Thanks Shawna and Jordyn : ) Love my new pink mug.

I received 2 cookbooks for Christmas. I think there is a hidden meaning here, but I am struggling to find it. Thanks Lewis, Shannon (Obviously you spent a lot of time putting those together for the girls and I. Glad I was included.)

I see that two non-kindle believers joined me on the Dark Side. You know who you are.

Jason got a Dsi-XL three days after Christmas, just because. He also got the No. 1 item from his Christmas Letter to Santa. That man is good ; )

The best gift I received was a DVD of my Grandpa Jim's funeral. The hubby stayed home with the kids and missed the funeral. I am glad to have it to share with him and the boys for years to come.

I got a new cell phone. It's amazing, but huge.

We took the kids to Chuck E Cheese on Tuesday during our travels home. I miss going there more frequently.

I had my first ever library fine.. It was $22 and was due to water damage. Jason dropped it in the snow. The book retail is actually $9 but to avoid a trip to Walmart, I opted to pay the whole fine instead of just replacing the copy. I did "technically" purchase the damaged copy, and it is still readable.

I posted a ton of photos to flickr and Facebook. If you are not on FB, then I do not post of you there, to be polite. All photos on flickr are private.

It's time to think about celebrating Jason's birthday. I will shop online again for all the supplies except I will pick up balloons the day of and the cake, pizza too. He wants to invite 11 kids.

I am on my last book for 2010. I think it's No. 77 or 78.
