silliness

today has been absolutely crazy! the copy machine at school hates me. i was trying to do a simple two sided thing and it kept resetting the margins (which i did not ask it to do) and it took like 20 minutes just to get one sheet made. so frustrating. then, i forgot to sigh our progress report sheets for grade verification after school yesterday and the guy came into my room this morning asking about them and i had a totally blond moment. i'm losing my mind.
on a happier note..... i had a full rehearsal after school today with my entire beginning band which is 66 people and they barely fit in the band room. it was really great though. i think they will do a great job at the concert tomorrow night. i really like middle schoolers now.... as long as i don't have the 6th graders :)
and, ta-da, our blender works again. here's the story..... luke was making a milkshake and tried to start it and the whole thing was leaking all over the place which inevitably got the motor a little wet, which is bad, but i cleaned it up and tried to dry it. so we took it apart and noticed the blade was cracked so i called cuisinart since it's brand new and they sent me a free replacement blade and then the food processor attachment wasn't working for some reason and we thought we fried the motor, but we hooked it up again the other day and it works! yay!! milkshakes all around! both the blender and processor work now. i think they are tempermental. i hope they stay working. :)
and we went to the post office today.......... LONG lines!
and, finally, they lit up the lights all over the base today. they have been working on them for so long and i've seen them up, but never on. but tonight was the tree lighting ceremony. yay! i love christmas lights!
and luke is the bestestest ever! he made us a cardboard cutout christmas tree that we can take to hawaii with us since i won't have a real tree there! he worked hard on it all day and painted it green and painted decorations on it and everything! it is so cute! i love him! so now we'll have a tree over our christmas vacation! :)
okay, gotta go.... love you all lots!
