A bit of catch up

We've been strangers around here lately. Our lives are pretty busy. I'll try and give you a run down.
I started online photography schooling and am working toward my diploma and learning a whole lot. I got a PS CS5! I am super excited about that.
We had a big Thanksgiving dinner Saturday and will have a smaller, simpler one on Thanksgiving day.
Wedding planning is going. But at a nice slow pace. Lys and I got our dresses ordered and are waiting for them to come in. We have the officiator, but not the venue. Everything else is going alright.
I got a car Monday. A silver Mercury Sable. It's really nice. I haven't a license yet, I'm gonna get one in January. I have driven it twice and will take T. Lynn to her dentist appointment tomorrow.
I was sick with some sort of stomach bug for almost two weeks and am finally starting to feel alright again. I didn't eat much though for two weeks and now I feel like I can't get full. It's pretty annoying.
Let me see, what else, what else? (Ugh, I'm annoyed with my glasses - moving on.)
I am sadly behind on Christmas shopping/sewing. I need to desperately clean my room and I painted my nail deep purple ;) My iPod is in sad shape (the stripped ear phone plug in is getting worse) and I am dying to get started with the rest of my blog designing and some sewing. I miss Lyssa to bits!
I think that is everything. If I think of anything else, I'll try and let y'all know!


 Hugs and Kisses,
 xoxoxoxoxoxox,

Ugh.

Ugh... Sisters... Need I say more?!
thought not.
Goodbye and goodnight

A new song from my church :)

...

I miss Riah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cried when we said bye on Monday. Never missed her like this before.
The end.

I'm back

Sorta. This isn't going to be very long. I have school, housework, letters to write, laundry to do and much more.
I miss Lyssa. Like worse than usual and I don't know why. I feel sorta depressed that she isn't here. It's so sad....
The Mad Hatter Tea Party went very well. Pictures coming soon.
I am loving the new Michael Buble Christmas cd. It's great.
I have pictures to edit, but first I have to find the notebook I wrote them all down in.
I need to read. I have a million or so books from the library and I'm sadly behind on reading them.
I need to sew, nuff said.

Love you depressed, tired, worn out,

Le Happy

I wanted to do a Le Happy post, but I haven't gotten permission from the creator (the lovely Miss Jocee) yet, so I figured I'd do this that I found on Cubette's blog. You cross out the one's that apply to you... To make it shorter, I got rid of some of the sections... if you want the entire thing, visit her blog.
BTW: Jocee just said I could do a Le Happy, so expect one soon!
