Warming Trend

WOW! My desk top says it's 57* out there! But it's cloudy, so it doesn't look like it should be that warm.

Part of me says that's got to be wrong. The forecast was for only like 52*.

So, anyways, Anthony has his surgery to remove the thing on his face tomorrow, very, very early. We have to be at the hospital by 6 am. I think I am more nervous than he is. Maybe because I just had my surgery back in September...? I'm sure he'll be just fine.

Rhett is having a blast in Cub Scouts. Last night they made bird houses. He did really good. He is so good at making things like that. He has made several "toys" that are a wood kit without even reading the directions. He just puts things together using logic. He's a smart kid that way.

Cabelas is cutting hours because they are so slow (who isn't what with the weather and our failing economy?), so Jason may quit. He spends more in gas just driving out to the store than he makes (what with the price of gas these days). Too bad for the employee discount and my candles. Oh well, I guess I can pay full price if I have to.

I'm throwing a birthday party for Kylie the end of the month with a bunch of her friends from school. Trying to keep it simple and cheap, I figured I'd do the token cake and ice cream, and instead of making party favors and playing games, having the girls decorate canvas bags (in a small purse size) with fabric puff paints and stick on jewels. My question is, should I go with just that, or should I have something small for the girls to put in the bags? And if so, what? Let me know what you'd do.
This is Kylie's first birthday party with friends and invites, and she is just so excited. Keep in mind these will be a bunch of 6/7 year old girls...

Things are so slow around here at work, we had to lay off 3 people. Yuck. Makes me nervous...
