I had no pictures so I only made pages. I know I'm pitiful! But I enjoyed it anyway.<br />My dad is doing well after the pacemaker. He will go next month for the biopsy.

We did. I have not blogged in a few days because my dad got sick and was in the hospital. We initially thought it was from his medication that was making his heart rate very low but it ended up being that he needed a pacemaker. He is home from the hospital and he is doing very good. I got to sleep on a cot at the hospital which was horrible. I'm not a small woman so everytime I got up and down (which was about 30 times that night) I felt like the bed was going to collapse! Dad had so much fluid build up that he lost almost 5 pounds during the night which is why I was up 30 times! Oh well...he is better and that is all that matters!<br /></span></span>Amy Clarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06254275729679938710noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4721788890009241979.post-27850703329078316682008-12-25T08:30:00.001-08:002008-12-25T09:05:58.119-08:00Christmas morning...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9bSqvwIiNubZlvOZPtk88FZ8KeLcZ80p-JvyRrcu94U9QOaqyYUeK14zi6U1UEX7yNlhyphenhyphenn3Vs2BhwCGQxweJXXco66r3d40bINtwktEp66QE579ROqkEsUJRbhboc0OdW6R7ZR4w-2w6F/s1600-h/2008+Christmas+006.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 158px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9bSqvwIiNubZlvOZPtk88FZ8KeLcZ80p-JvyRrcu94U9QOaqyYUeK14zi6U1UEX7yNlhyphenhyphenn3Vs2BhwCGQxweJXXco66r3d40bINtwktEp66QE579ROqkEsUJRbhboc0OdW6R7ZR4w-2w6F/s200/2008+Christmas+006.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283767804170254082" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcoSk6bH-S-l2nXcmJOe40kZijlmxt-hpC2z5yTOVQKNUQzzkOJftqLG5-_PsVlgEzjtnDTo1E1P5ttM917kY3eJenKgH53isT7vtxMbYh5zWV34gvblfDI1cVsyJT9_JE0OCmmrlgeYzX/s1600-h/2008+Christmas+013.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcoSk6bH-S-l2nXcmJOe40kZijlmxt-hpC2z5yTOVQKNUQzzkOJftqLG5-_PsVlgEzjtnDTo1E1P5ttM917kY3eJenKgH53isT7vtxMbYh5zWV34gvblfDI1cVsyJT9_JE0OCmmrlgeYzX/s200/2008+Christmas+013.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283767803725214146" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizWVQmcsC0bDyrL3zQefF8f0JIwb5LgrYjVuS2eZiZT6tEorgNbCUcvImVrmbCB5cU3nrpR2BvpkzShCJapMuI0JQGvsRHparb0PXGMJ-tn7FnvPJofOXV5ZZQn2CCTGEQAfGhtAArk9Zt/s1600-h/2008+Christmas+042.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 196px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizWVQmcsC0bDyrL3zQefF8f0JIwb5LgrYjVuS2eZiZT6tEorgNbCUcvImVrmbCB5cU3nrpR2BvpkzShCJapMuI0JQGvsRHparb0PXGMJ-tn7FnvPJofOXV5ZZQn2CCTGEQAfGhtAArk9Zt/s200/2008+Christmas+042.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283767797619359730" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpvAeGMPqWpV5I0xz7veTeeA9OJgwtjPgNqOeEFc0Eq5tNlqR9a_AXFt0BhDMgf3N5ga_y2QztgiLZMHUJYtClF-UMgy6GAttUrB5V_TXPwn5uPOF6B4wF16moCdjCwWQ-Fr44dFpb-8YZ/s1600-h/2008+Christmas+016.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpvAeGMPqWpV5I0xz7veTeeA9OJgwtjPgNqOeEFc0Eq5tNlqR9a_AXFt0BhDMgf3N5ga_y2QztgiLZMHUJYtClF-UMgy6GAttUrB5V_TXPwn5uPOF6B4wF16moCdjCwWQ-Fr44dFpb-8YZ/s200/2008+Christmas+016.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283767792097710642" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSyzSPpA0Uk1uRro0HqXUzSHEpEYX7TSaWn66WTVmk-2p0a7C8jxN-NTEHZZeo63rGQOqiK1kzXp814r8elHkym5QzFUt3BIuBdKMWTTfij1oeacRtwTQ__CnBi_eL9TAi273qItotQxmz/s1600-h/2008+Christmas+004.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSyzSPpA0Uk1uRro0HqXUzSHEpEYX7TSaWn66WTVmk-2p0a7C8jxN-NTEHZZeo63rGQOqiK1kzXp814r8elHkym5QzFUt3BIuBdKMWTTfij1oeacRtwTQ__CnBi_eL9TAi273qItotQxmz/s200/2008+Christmas+004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283767786239559378" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">I'm going to go ahead and post picture because I have a lot of cooking to do today.

Yes my almost 16 year old daughter wanted a Light Saber. Oh well! You have to watch the video of our cat Zoi...she is so funny.

Chocolate chip cookies, fudge, and Paula Deen's Mystery pecan pie. I highly reccomend the Ghirardelli chocolate chips. Probably the best recipe I have ever used. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Alex's fish Roger Prodactor jumped out of his bowl and down the sink. Jimmy being the wonderful dad he is went to the Family Dollar store here in Kansas and bought a pipe wrench just to get the fish out. Well with much struggle we were not able to get the 40 year old pipe loosened. So there we were staying our last "goodby" to Roger Prodactor. He will be the most handsom Beta in the sewer. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">So tonight we will watch the Grinch...last night was Christmas Vacation and today we watched Elf and of course we will open 1 gift tonight.

We wanted to use those season passes one more time! It was so cold. When we got there the temp had dropped 20 degrees. I didn't take a coat but I had my snowman blanket that I kept tightly wrapped around my head. The rides had just been closed as we got there so Alex and Ben were forced to shop. I ended up getting sick so we went home 15 minutes before the parade started. The lights were beautiful. </span></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></div></div></div></div>Amy Clarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06254275729679938710noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4721788890009241979.post-87545382372266202502008-12-22T08:04:00.001-08:002008-12-22T08:13:16.561-08:00Christmas with family<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5f_PkUlag9yr_ZsTixNeTCaGrnuXZNfdLxnDlYO67NUO_exgzio05E47vElG_tOyzlAA4PbsfJJceP07dtOU8uby3xRcQibCIzHhb-JyLp9KbI63SNwZt3-jkXN-_DBXJ1kfV8cpMeExk/s1600-h/Christmas+2008+@+Jim+&+Janets+016.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282648119770209426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5f_PkUlag9yr_ZsTixNeTCaGrnuXZNfdLxnDlYO67NUO_exgzio05E47vElG_tOyzlAA4PbsfJJceP07dtOU8uby3xRcQibCIzHhb-JyLp9KbI63SNwZt3-jkXN-_DBXJ1kfV8cpMeExk/s200/Christmas+2008+%40+Jim+%26+Janets+016.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOZGDD0-E2Inrup1Y2o_3xf8eXfavbh9NV0asNTDhH1mLuRIIFQae-6FCBAmmvMPtIydE2Cq2rOyOxN4Uo1t4VW1Gqr2XJ4gDVDCXo1L4JQmdvJ6iQB3MesKrjD0SptVL_m5Eku8UklrFf/s1600-h/Christmas+2008+@+Jim+&+Janets+032.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282648120551119314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOZGDD0-E2Inrup1Y2o_3xf8eXfavbh9NV0asNTDhH1mLuRIIFQae-6FCBAmmvMPtIydE2Cq2rOyOxN4Uo1t4VW1Gqr2XJ4gDVDCXo1L4JQmdvJ6iQB3MesKrjD0SptVL_m5Eku8UklrFf/s200/Christmas+2008+%40+Jim+%26+Janets+032.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh77GuFFfdTntTUuVi0MdZAufuEzYac_3ilnAkDI_zyGN8qPZmT1DfXK-HY9bj46ddguFJjz8N_hgIWOuqg65Tp2szaVysqu3GK6ukk7PhF43JqN0jKc8Q9MEf_Gh1mYwf7d5Vy-7ODURDN/s1600-h/Christmas+2008+@+Jim+&+Janets+002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282648111967312818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh77GuFFfdTntTUuVi0MdZAufuEzYac_3ilnAkDI_zyGN8qPZmT1DfXK-HY9bj46ddguFJjz8N_hgIWOuqg65Tp2szaVysqu3GK6ukk7PhF43JqN0jKc8Q9MEf_Gh1mYwf7d5Vy-7ODURDN/s200/Christmas+2008+%40+Jim+%26+Janets+002.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA4otELfmhqBJhvVNT4ZZmWuWrXTJA7exfEsqnJExqoYemjm68jN-eARQUbXI6Bmqb5gIutg0tXh2MiDKSm1GDmgkYKtksc74T8ooVljN2TQGK7bUf5vw6jQxeNRwotaSJsn6u2rOZN5vW/s1600-h/Christmas+2008+@+Jim+&+Janets+030.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282648108957790322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 146px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA4otELfmhqBJhvVNT4ZZmWuWrXTJA7exfEsqnJExqoYemjm68jN-eARQUbXI6Bmqb5gIutg0tXh2MiDKSm1GDmgkYKtksc74T8ooVljN2TQGK7bUf5vw6jQxeNRwotaSJsn6u2rOZN5vW/s200/Christmas+2008+%40+Jim+%26+Janets+030.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtTB6nHHcnsneUC6nTG4eD5Qh1KT_DbSKkeeLICRHYpU6GURFfi1qLG4pMR8I8Qe5SIaMe95LmyICVBsZv9W8f3H-yvIYe-ZRa60G_rGJuX2T74OaCk9LG0h8kk-Q41NBPjOsa1_SfceV5/s1600-h/Christmas+2008+@+Jim+&+Janets+028.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282648099061838194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtTB6nHHcnsneUC6nTG4eD5Qh1KT_DbSKkeeLICRHYpU6GURFfi1qLG4pMR8I8Qe5SIaMe95LmyICVBsZv9W8f3H-yvIYe-ZRa60G_rGJuX2T74OaCk9LG0h8kk-Q41NBPjOsa1_SfceV5/s200/Christmas+2008+%40+Jim+%26+Janets+028.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;">On Friday night we went to my Uncle Jim and Aunt Janet's house. This was the first time in probably 14 years we have celebrated the holidays together. We had so much fun. We did a white elephant gift exchange. Jimmy ended up with a plastic poncho, I had 2 Snoopy activity books and Alex ended up with the grand gift of a HUGE picture of my Grandmother and Old Dad. My sister got my a Tulsa area fireman calender which we got a great laugh out of. All in all it was a great time and I can't wait till next year!</span></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Amy Clarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06254275729679938710noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4721788890009241979.post-13691122036464371282008-12-22T08:00:00.000-08:002008-12-22T08:24:43.148-08:00My Own Personal Santa!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1K1lI4bN5aimm2w-UkQmTD_nAjqMkM-1_-YOcq37xXas1DEWyXyX-YCmWoF4k8CacN-K8nekwnAKCMR2RuTogPhC3qclG_4lmq1CCVsNsbolwLrf0QBw5jOBD6kPBBWBZWQeKMrJZZ-7e/s1600-h/Christmas+@+school+086.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282651154361253842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 94px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1K1lI4bN5aimm2w-UkQmTD_nAjqMkM-1_-YOcq37xXas1DEWyXyX-YCmWoF4k8CacN-K8nekwnAKCMR2RuTogPhC3qclG_4lmq1CCVsNsbolwLrf0QBw5jOBD6kPBBWBZWQeKMrJZZ-7e/s200/Christmas+%40+school+086.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMnA-fATuE_aBz5UMkhMeMd37JK3wC3Vx2wYGBhBcsy898SXfVdapKns4lNCNqGsPJSaAOg1C0hBYzN9vhNYamdGXqEIQ_9suHAv4cIjgc6mTM4XcchwkLpDw39ynGcjEVV06EBfUm_Xh2/s1600-h/Christmas+@+school+087.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282651150413855154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 144px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMnA-fATuE_aBz5UMkhMeMd37JK3wC3Vx2wYGBhBcsy898SXfVdapKns4lNCNqGsPJSaAOg1C0hBYzN9vhNYamdGXqEIQ_9suHAv4cIjgc6mTM4XcchwkLpDw39ynGcjEVV06EBfUm_Xh2/s200/Christmas+%40+school+087.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Jimmy played Santa at our <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">elementary</span> school the other day.

Alex is babysitting at the Siloam church tonight, they are going to a movie.<br />I can't think of anything else to say...except Have a wonderful weekend!Amy Clarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06254275729679938710noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4721788890009241979.post-16204466181891393762008-10-13T16:16:00.000-07:002008-10-13T16:24:38.915-07:00More Pictures<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVrg4OsNVsfBj9Lo5MuiYKrrcVFVXHmUOso2-6AvG9Yv_0_z37ObAb9gl8eV_CeggdYWWAxaw-JpMhbKE7c98QP54dX_HZTjS17qGs8GKXZCKN_3nt9MIbDIJW8YDmUjBobWsu1HXN6E_I/s1600-h/Branson+2008+219.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256782509025534466" style="DISPLAY: block;

My parents had an <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">adjoining</span> room next to ours. There were about 35-40 from our congreation. We had a great time. I mostly enjoyed taking pictures at all the pretty flowers. We did a little shopping not too much though. We are going to try and go back in December to see the christmas lights.

He lost his battle with cancer. Even though Mack was 82 he acted like a kid. Always laughing and making jokes. He was very special to me. He was also one of Jimmy's best friends. They always had a lot to talk about. Mack would talk to anyone! He was amazing. His service will be tomorrow. He will be greatly missed, but never forgotten. </span></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div></div>Amy Clarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06254275729679938710noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4721788890009241979.post-51899443547317091822008-09-18T18:16:00.000-07:002008-09-18T18:20:07.235-07:00Oh So Busy...<span style="font-family:verdana;">It has been 10 days since my last post.

Its quite easy. My mom sold her first book the other day and made $5. She was very excited.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">I made a trip to the Grove thrift store and hit the mother load!

We always have a great time.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Verdana;">I also love taking pictures of my moms dog Oliver. He is the most <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">photogenic</span> dog I have ever seen.

That is the golden question...<span style="font-family:verdana;">Why is making a career change so hard? Its not like I have done it a million times! I have only had a few jobs in my life. I am dying to figure out if I want to do medical transcription or medical billing. I am so confused. It seems like <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">I'm</span> leading more to the one that seems less hard. But I really want to do the one that seems harder. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">I'm</span> overwhelmed...I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">don't</span> care which one...I just want a job I can do at home. I want to be able to make more money. I will never make money doing the job I have now although I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">don't</span> work at the school to make money! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">HAHA</span>...<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">that's</span> a joke. No seriously...I love the kids, I love having the summers off but I why not have a job that I can do in my pj's? </span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">I'm</span> rambling I know...please help if you <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">have</span> any suggestions!</span>Amy Clarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06254275729679938710noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4721788890009241979.post-39625515201722074352008-08-29T04:20:00.000-07:002008-08-29T04:31:52.980-07:00Im ready for a day off!!!<span style="font-family:Verdana;">No matter how much I love my job I can't wait for that 1st holiday off. I have looked forward to September 1st since August 11<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span>. I am worn out, tired and just want to lounge in my favorite cut off sweats and a big t-shirt!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">We have been pretty busy. Vacation Bible School took up so much time. Although I probably did the least work in my family. It was still a tough job. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">I have been cleaning out closets and listing stuff on <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">eBay</span>. I suppose you could call that my new hobby. I used to sell stuff a long time ago but I have so much stuff I could get rid of. I find it relaxing. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Alex is doing good with her online high school. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">I'm</span> a bad mom though. I found out she could have started August 7<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">th</span>. So she has a lot of catching up to do. She loves being able to instant message her teachers whenever she wants.She is about a month away from her getting her drivers permit! She is a good driver but she <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">doesn't</span> get to drive <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">alot</span>, just to the trash dumpster and post office. She kinda hugs the corners!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Well, I suppose I will start getting ready for work. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">I'm</span> going to try and do better about blogging. Love you all! </span>Amy Clarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06254275729679938710noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4721788890009241979.post-85785165758162488632008-08-15T19:34:00.000-07:002008-08-15T19:46:13.224-07:00My Week...<span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">I had every intention on posting this week but I have been so tired and worn out. My first week at school was pretty good. I didn't do a whole lot. Sometimes doing nothing is pretty tiring. Since I don't have to take Alex to school I can sleep till 7:00 a.m. which I love.<br />Jimmy has been keeping the house clean. He is wonderful! My laundry is done. My sheets are clean and I don't have to go searching for clean underwear or a towel.<br />Alex and I got our hair cut today. By the time we were done it looked like a dog was laying on the ground. It feels so good to have it off my neck. Alex's was the most drastic change. Not only because of the cut, we colored it red, more of a very golden brown. But she looks great!<br />I'm ready for my weekend!<br /></span></span>Amy Clarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06254275729679938710noreply@blogger.com2
