story hour angst.

it'll be a great idea to do storyhours during the break weeks, i thought. let's do them around themes, i thought. holiday stories last week (Very well attended) Tramadol and acetaminophen, and fairy tales this week. for all ages, i thought. great plan, i thought.

until buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol began reading through the fairy tale picture books. first there was puss in boots. great book, Buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol : caldecott honour winner. until the end of page one when the youngest brother begins to lament that in his inheritance from his prescription medication tramadol he got the cat, and his older brothers got the mill and donkey. "fine for them. they Buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol, can work together and be well off. once i've eaten the cat and made a muff out of it's fur, i'll starve to death." hmm ... perhaps not ...

then there was ouch! a delightful book, until Tramadol and acetaminophen : Buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol : the main character is, as a baby, thrown off a bridge into the river in a box. hmm ... well he is rescued so let's go on. a few pages later he's sent on a mission to the castle by the king with a note to the Buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol : queen saying 'kill buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol when he arrives.' hmm ... well a band of theives intercepts the note and replaces it with a note saying 'marry this boy to the princess immediately.' ok rectified well. but then the king arrives and sends him on a mission to hell to retrieve 3 hairs off the Tramadol and acetaminophen : devil's head. ack. he meets the devil's mother who helps him get the hairs, and then tells him how to help the boat driver get out of his eternal job. so back he goes "i hope i'll never see you or your wife here in hell!" the mother says to him, and then he tricks the king into visiting the boat driver, who tricks him into have the job ... forever.

well, perhaps not.

little red riding hood? nope. they all get eaten.

the green frogs: a korean tale? well, the mother does die at the end and they spent a lot of time crying over her grave in hopes of it not washing away from the rains ...

so on the spur of the moment i grab the Buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol : three little pigs. did anyone buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol know that the wolf actually eats the pigs buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol by one? and then at the end the pig in the brick house eats the wolf as it falls down the chimney? i was sure that each pig ran off to meet buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol with the next pig, ending with all three safely tucked in the brick house. oh my.

nothing is easy these days.

ack! how time flies when you're not blogging!

the holidays were wonderful Tramadol and acetaminophen - ... santa was very good to me. he gave me things that i needed (like peanut butter and a drill,) things i wanted (like a plant shelf and two books,) and things that surprised me (like a lovely outfit from Buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol - my favourite store in port stanley ontario called apropos and a fabulous scarf.)

the turkey was lovely, the champagne/orange juice and filet brunch was stunning, and mom's Buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol : shortbreads were amazing.

dad and i saw Buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol, the lord of the rings movie, and we finally got to see frodo throw the buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol ring into the fiery pit of hell ... i've been waiting Buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol, 2 years and about 8 hours worth of film to see that. it was a lovely father/daughter evening, until i bruised dad's arm squeezing it in fear of the giant spider, and in fear that the fiery pit of hell scene would never come to realization. dad chuckled at my calling out 'throw it! throw it!' to frodo at the end.

mom and dad had lovely drives both way, and were lucky enough to travel just before the terror alert level was raised last week. upon their return home on prescription medication tramadol they had no trouble crossing into canada, but pity to those waiting to pass into buffalo ... the line was over a mile long and mom reports that sunday the newscasters claimed it was a 5 hour wait. agh. i'd turn around and go back rather than wait.

so back to work. buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol getting ready for the new year's party on wednesday when we'll countdown midnight at noon and toast with gingerale instead of champagne. only 80 kids signed up. no pressure (agh!)

happy holidays to all.

ok ... mission accomplished.

was at the post office at 7:45 am, and was about 25th in line (doesn't open until 8 am.)

read my book (it's about the plague in england. Buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol, i can tell you that i was feeling rather uncomfortable in the crowded post office by the time i was at the front of the line. the book was at the point where they were telling everyone not to join prescription medication tramadol crowds and all i kept doing was looking around and hoping that no one had the plague. what can i say ... it's a good book.)

$45 later i had all the stamps i needed and was off to start sticking. 10 minutes later they were all being pushed through a slot in the wall, on their way to all points to bring holiday cheer.

and now ... off to the wrapping.

whew.

i can't believe i've finally finished.

100 christmas cards.

neatly bundled and labeled and ready to go to the prescription medication tramadol office at 8 am tomorrow morning to be practically individually weighed and stamped and pushed into the postal services' possession to be delivered.

i'll have to remember for next year that trying to do 100 christmas cards in one evening really isn't a good idea. totally had to forgo any personal notes or messages for time's sake.


ever seen the movie 'a christmas story'? if yes, then you'll get this. if no, i recommend you run out and rent it. it's a fabulous holiday movie.

anyway ... in 'a christmas story' there is a daydream sequence where he comes home someday in the future and is totally blind. when his parents ask how, he responds with 'soap poisoning' - he's currently being punished for cursing by having a bar of soap stuck in his mouth and he's dreaming about how his mother will prescription medication tramadol to regret this inhumane punishment someday.

anyway ... i think i'm going to go blind someday from envelope glue poisoning. thank goodness the post office has self-adhesive stamps or i'd be sunk. better take a bottle of water tomorrow morning, just in case.

off to bed. not a minute too soon.

well survived the 'blizzard' this weekend. nothing can stop 5 determined ladies in a car Buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol : hell-bent on getting to the scrapbooking retreat ... not sleet, prescription medication tramadol rain, nor wind, nor blizzard.

so scrapping buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol went, and scrapping we did! i finished an album, drank a bottle of wine with friends while buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol SNL with al sharpton hosting, went for a swim, and had a fantastic night's sleep in an extremely cushy and comfy bed with floofy duvet.

all the Tramadol and acetaminophen : while the storm raged on outside around us. while us (us being 200 women) spread out our stuff in one of the hotel's ballrooms and cut and pasted for about 40 hours straight. i did take a few hours sleep, but i'm sure some did not.

yea! lots of fun.

and now, back to work.

anyone buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol mixing cassette tapes?

i remember just about every time i was supposed to start studying for exams i'd sit down and try to find some music to listen to ... and that search would almost always end up with me in front of the stereo with a sea of cassettes (and some LPs) all around me on the floor ... and 2 Tramadol and acetaminophen - or 3 hours later i'd have the 'english 3A1 study mix" or the 'sociology 408 study mix' ready to roll.

or the night before leaving for a long car ride ... in my collection (archive?) i have the 'wonderland 95 mix' from our road trip to canada's wonderland ... or the 'meyer christmas mix' from the year marcie came home and wanted to catch up on the canadian music scene ...

it was always a good Buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol : way to completely kill some time making a recording of dubious quality and music that really does not blend no matter how good we thought we were.

so, i was thinking about this because last night i realized that things have not changed.

i was up all night long last night making the 'cropping mix' for our weekend away (which starts buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol 7 am this morning.) and a few months ago i was up all night making the 'bus to canada mix' so prescription medication tramadol have something to listen to on the 17-hour-each-way bus ride.

the Tramadol and acetaminophen : only difference now is the technology.

i bought a sony atrac discman, and now i can take 1 Buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol, CD-R and cram up to 400 songs on it.

so i've spent the week ripping music off of my cd collection onto my harddrive in preparation. and i figured 'oh it'll only take me a few minutes to buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol it all over.' i completely forgot that once all the music is in the order you want it, it then images the entire thing (i think i topped out at about 370 songs because some, like meatloaf's 'paradise by the dashboard light' is a bit longer than the standard song') up to memory before it actually burns it.

so it was about 1 am when i clicked the 'burn' button. and then i went to bed.

and woke up at 5 am to the sound of my burner finishing up and popping open.

so who says old habits die hard?

they're absolutely right. and Buy buy cheap online tramadol tramadol, i'd have it no other way.

- a Tramadol and acetaminophen : car service car having it's rear bumper ripped off by a u.s. postal service 18-wheeler truck pulling into the postal station. i'm sure the car tried to drive around it while it was turning in, but i know they'll blame the driver.
- two women walking home wearing mink coats, being escorted by a man in a tux
- a bunch of college guys playing pick-up football in the street (car!)
