I am glad your mother is home and in good spirits, jenP!

I have a weird mother story- apparently my mother goes through the holiday wrapping trash, takes off the tags, and shreds them because she "doesn't want anything with her handwriting on it" in the garbage. I am talking tags that say "To: Sophia From:Mother."

Congrats, P-C -- those are excellent remarks.

Way to go, P.-C.! Excellent feedback.

Hahaha! Oh, mothers.

I'm glad yours is home, too, Jen!

Sophia,

I think you and I might be cousins because our mothers are clearly related. both my parents love shredding - and shred things that surprise me.

Thanks, y'all!

I'm about to make cheddar/sausage pastry balls with the leftover sausage from the lasagna that my sister is making, because it was bothersome to her that there would be leftover sausage. Voila, problem solved!

We just played on their new... thing that reads your body as you dance along to the video on the screen. First one I only got two stars, but then I got three, woo! The goal is four, of course. Fun!! My niece and I kept bashing our flailing arms into each other. It was funny.

Kinect?

Yes, that's it, Hil, thx.

Me too!

I've been playing with the Lego Mindstorms NXT that my parents got me for Chanukah. Building robots is fun. I also got a waffle iron from my sister, so I'm looking up waffle recipes to try. (I've got a cookbook at home that I know has a ton of waffle recipes, but I'm not there now, and the Google Books preview of it has preview pages of nearly everything except the waffle pages.)
