a few quick notes today...

I have recently realized that my spelling/grammar is rather atrocious in these blog entries! lol Maybe cause I'm always doing it late at night?

Not much going on today. I can finally see the finish line for these dvd slideshows...hopefully they will be finished tonight. Then I just have to burn a bunch of copies. I also decorated the cd case for it which will qualify as one of my assignments for my design team. I've even got over half my Christmas cards made and some have even been mailed! lol I'm pretty lucky cause we will be seeing most of our family throughout the holiday season, so most of our cards will be hand delivered.

Mercedes went to her first non-family member birthday party today. It was a little interesting. The little girl who's birthday it was (I'll call her J) doesn't have a phone, nor did she had 'Cedes phone number. Finally she got ahold of my cousin, who also has a dd the same age, and the message was then past on to us. It was a swimming party, and by the time we got there there was only about 20 minutes left. Didn't seem to bother Mercedes since she spent the whole time in the hot tub with Shaina! lol After swimming the kids we all going to J's house for cake & presents (Shaina (my cousin) & I were the only people that brought presents). I didn't go to J's house cause Mercedes just went with Shaina, but when Mercedes got home 2 hours later she had a sad story to tell. Apparently J's dad was supposed to show up with the food and the cake well over 2 hours ago...by the time Shaina left he still hadn't shown up. Mercedes was pretty hungry when she got home too cause all she'd eaten was a drink of pop, some chips and 1/8 of a weiner. I just think that is so sad for J. She is a little native girl and seems very sweet. Mercedes and her are always playing together at school, but I found out tonight that any future playdates should be held here since J told her classmates last week that her mommy was in jail again cause her daddy had to call the police. Considering that her dad didn't show up on time with the cake, etc. I imagine there are problems from that end too. There is just so much heartache in the native community here. And if you've never seen someone that is extremely intoxicated on something probably like hairspray or aftershave...it's just very, very sad.

Well I'm off to try my first burnt copy of the slideshow, so here's hoping that it'll be just as I imagined it. Maybe I'll even fill out some more Christmas cards while I watch it. I also need to write out the instructions for the altered cd case...then again, I just may go to bed! lol

I actually remembered how to upload some pics so these are just a couple I took around town last night....can you tell that I still have no idea on how to properly use my camera! lol
