Last Post In 2007

Boy, have I been busy this past month. And I'm not kidding...It was Christmas Eve and we were still rushing to buy a last few gifts before we had to wrap it all up. Even now there's still some things we have yet to buy...:oops:

And to top it off, we all got sick. Well, Mom and Moe did, and when they got better, I got sick on Saturday with a nasty, aching cold. I guess it's just this time of year....I was enjoying just laying around the house doing nothing, until the headache, sore throat, and stuffy nose came. It's slowly dissapearing, but yeah, it figures I'd get sick just when I don't want to. At least it didn't keep me away from any classes...

Anyways, it is now the last day of 2007! Wow...I'm actually going to miss 2007. I've come to love that number..that one and the age 15. I don't know why, but I really like it. Do I have to turn 16, Mom? *laughs*

So we're headed over to the Veer's tonight, as usual. Rebecca's birthday is today, even though she'll be having her party a different day this year.
