I guess i do have a few updates! I'm NOT done with my shopping and I know that shocks you. I have so much I want to get these little Elfs this year!
I had a bit of luck and won and iPad at a luncheon for the Marriott "customer appreciation". They invite my company every year and this time I threw in my business card, yipee! Neat little gadget, but I'm a bit too lazy to really explore it. I got a free iPod Touch at a meeting I went to in May and not ONE SINGLE SONG has made it's way onto that thing. In fact, it's nothing but games for the kids. And guess what's on my iPad...I have managed to download some iTunes, but it's still for the kids! I have some more educational stuff this time, like ABC Pocket Phonics. I'm a strange character...$830 toy that i let the kids play on mostly. I've found it useful for the 9 hours of work that I did from home this past week though!
And to segway into work....I labored in 53 degree water over the weekend to become a certified scuba diver! I did it guys, I'm in! The cool club! The cold club, I'm in! I lost feeling in my feet for I don't know how many hours each day this weekend. I forget the term for this condition but you can lose limbs over this if it actually gets bad. My feet went totally white because i lost circulation. I decided to buy lowcut booties for my fins and my ankles ended up exposed on the dive - I was FREEZING! My hoodie was too big so my head and ears were cold. My wetsuit was a size 6 or maybe bigger? Water seeped through from every which way! But it's all done with! My dive master brought me a cigar to celebrate the end! Ha! I'm done, I'm done, I'm done! Here's a funny pic of week me half in my wet suit sitting in the van with the heater FULL BLAST as I wait.
What?!!! You know, they say it's crucial not to lose any body heat as you'll need it for the dive!

Other crazy cold things we did - Ice cream outside while it was probably in hte 50's! We look adorbs in our hats!
I don't know if I posted this "DJ Lasterday" picture yet, but it's worth posting so here you go!
For my last photo set I have some gingerbread houses. I guess at some point we had a contest here at Methodist Hospital. There were some really great ones! A lot of people did ER's and I didn't get any pictures of those unfortunately. I seriously doubt you want to see a gingerbread man hooked up to an IV of sprinkles anyways. I took pictures for the purpose of stealing their ideas when I make my very first candy house! I've never made one, but I love watching the kids! Next time it's my turn! Maybe I'll do one in Dallas next week just for fun! Check these out!
**LOOK CLOSELY! I ESPECIALLY LOVE THE XMAS REEF ABOVE THE DOOR ON THE 1ST ONE!**
