Yep, winter has finally set in -- at least about as wintery as it gets for the most part around here -- slight frosting further north of us (poor MIN) but OF COURSE we only get really cold, wet rain! 

Have to trek to Raleigh tonight for the Homeschool Honor Society service project that the girls have to participate in -- and will be on a mission for a Star of David cookie cutter to make sugar cookies for the Hanukkah celebration at MIN's on the 26th.  Maybe there will be one at AC Moore's or Michael's.

Work has been horrible today -- have worked for 6 hours and gotten only about half of my line count for today.  Oh, well, glad I have been getting "extra" lines this past week!

Can hardly wait until the 20th.  My boss gave me off until the 27th!  Hoo boy, the folks around here won't know what to do with me with all that time on my hands -- of course, every day has at least 3 things scheduled including lots and lots of baking.  Just saw a homemade laundry detergent recipe on another blog and I might even get ambitious and try that!  I just love saving money and making stuff  -- so that would kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

Now if I could just find a good recipe for making money!
