Three things for Sunday

nwhikerIt's been a while. I've been wanting to write, but I'm so uninteresting, I was afraid I'd bore myself to sleep trying to post.
1. Linnea passed pre-calc! 79.45%, so just a hair under the 80% needed for a B. It was a rough quarter, she didn't not the support that was agreed upon, and the teacher made snarky comments on her exams, which really didn't help. We ended up hiring tutors, and that extra help, plus her usual diligence with homework and any possible extra-credit, got her there. I'm very proud of her.
2. My sister, who is usually 100% awesome, decided that for Christmas, she'd make my mom a memory book with photos of all of us, the kids etc. That's nice... only she has a deadline to get this done in time for Christmas, tonight, and she emailed us to let us know... Friday. I loathe going through photos for shit like that, making my kids' yearbook's pages was pure torture for both dh and I, and things got pretty stressful for us this afternoon. We did get it done; I hope sister is ok with the photos I sent. I did, btw, send the yearbook spreads. Recycled content, but it's good recycled content. Also, shoutout to my (deceased) FIL for bailing me out! I couldn't find some photos of the kids that I wanted to include, but he had them in frames, and I happened to know where those framed photos were.
3. Still a lot of snow on the ground, and it's chilly out. I wanted to go to a holiday market, but it was outdoors, and that was just not happening in this cold. I don't mind hiking or walking in the cold, but shopping? NSM. So Linnea -who was supposed to go with me- stayed up there, and I read a book, LOL. We started -just a tiny start- getting some holiday decorations out, so this is good.
