Christmas Parties

Well, I didn't forget to go to the annual Ratliff & Sommerville Christmas Party this year! Yeah! Last year I COMPLETELY forgot about it. I mean, when Elaine called and asked me what I was doing and when I was going to be there because they were about to serve dinner, I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about. So, Charlie and I grabbed some gift cards and ran over there in our jeans. Not pretty. This year I remembered to get gifts for the gift exchange, and actually got ready for the party. Charlie and I had a great time... we especially loved Shannon's stories!

Today is Michael's class Christmas party. Charlie is going to attend that with him since he is on vacation through the 26th. Michael and I went to school early this morning to put his teachers' gifts in their boxes. He was very excited about doing that.

Today is Tabitha's cheerleading Christmas party. I don't know where it is or what time to be there but, I'm bringing food and helping out... sounds about normal.

I'm almost finished with my Christmas cards. I should have the last of them finished up pretty quick. I think the hardest thing besides finding addresses, is having everyone sign the card. It isn't very often that we are all in the same room together. Our Wednesday night "Family Night" has been messed up these last 4 weeks with Tabitha in driving school. We should be able to get back on track next year.

I've taken my car back to the dealership 5 times now for the wind noise issue. Looks like its Lemon Law time. I printed the information off the internet, and talked to my service tech about it. He has been through the Lemon Law with one other customer. He said it took about 3½ months to resolve the issue. I've been driving with this annoying sound for 12 months now... I can handle it a little bit longer... let's hope.

Does anyone know of a good, free online address book? I've created my address book more times than I care to remember... them my computer crashes and I lose it all. I'd appreciate any feedback on this.

Both Yahoo, hotmail, gmail... I know those three online free email sites have pretty good contact managers. Yahoo and Hotmail both have online calendars that you can publish so that everyone can see what you have going on too.

I can send you an invite to Gmail, but sadly it doesn't have a calendar and I am a bit annoyed with the way it does "conversations" at this point.
