It's Apple Season

And it seems everyone has apples they want to get rid of. I got a bunch from my brother and made 4 dozen apple turnovers for my freezer this morning. My kitchen is cleaned up and back to normal and I'm not taking any more apples off anyone's hands! This year anyway :)

2009 Christmas in Connecticut

I just booked my flights :)
Stella's pouting because she won't be able to come this year.

Funky

I've been in a deep blue funk lately and unfortunately it has nothing to do with all the F'ing snow around here.

And so it begins

UGH! We have snow on the ground this morning :(

Foolish

There's no fool like an old fool. Arghhhhh!!!
Some day I hope to grow up :(

YAY ME!!

I booked my flights using Skymiles for my cruise in March. Evidently I've hit elite status again because I was able to choose first class seats. Fine by me!!
It cost me $35 for the roundtrip flight sitting in first class, taxes and flight insurance. Without the insurance, it would have only been $10.
Hey Sarah, how do you like that deal?

Volunteering

The Hostfest is in town this week. http://www.hostfest.com/
It's North America's largest Scandinavian festival and we get thousands of visitors every year. Every hotel room is booked for months ahead of time and there are a TON of motorhomes parked out at the state fair grounds. The different Lutheran churches in Minot all have food booths and volunteers work them. I worked a shift on Wednesday and will again this afternoon. My small church makes lots of money doing this and it's rather fun to taste all the different goodies offered, shop and people watch. There are some strange people in this world!
