Wow - only two more days till Christmas, and then the next week, it is 2011! Time is just flying by. Work has been crazy getting ready for year-end, and vacations. I did get approval to start looking for someone to add to my department, since I am loosing one to retirement next year. I will be glad when that is done as well - I hate the interview/hiring process!

I did not get my carrying bag done for the kittens yet - I made up two more scarves last night (and didn't leave work until after 6:00!) I only have two knitted scarves left, and people were asking about the new design - and I was sold out. This was definitely a good year for hand-made Christmas presents. Ralph took a couple pairs of the gloves to Alli's bracing specialist yesterday (I forgot to give them when he took her for her appointment on Monday!) and Ralph told me I made her cry, she loved them so much! I didn't mean to make her cry!

AJ is finishing up his Eagle Project this week. He is collecting the recommendation letters that he needs, he is taking final pictures of the project, and having the Principal sign off on it. His plan - turn it in to the Scout Office today!! I can't believe it is actually going to get done! And ahead of schedule! (If you count on having until 5:00 on January 6th - the last minute the Scout Office is open before you turn 18 as 'scheduled' finishing time!) I am very proud of him for following through on the whole project. He did good!
