I have flour over me now.

We just got back from a Gingerbread House making contest over at my Music Minister's house. Our team made a Star Trek shuttle landing on a snow covered planet. It was pretty clever. I forgot my camera or else I'd have taken pictures... We won for Most Imaginative. Mom's team won for Best Overall (which was a lighthouse. I kid you not). Most Creative won with a Gingerbread Stonehenge. Scarily accurate, too. It even had a chocolate Druid.


I finished the Post Secret book. You don't realize it, but it's very emotional. I saw cards in there that hit very close to home for me and it was unexpected.

I had a massive depressive episode last night. I guess my hormones are out of whack coupled with my stressful life situation. I spent a while curled up on the bathroom floor. I felt better this morning.

The meeting today went well. We discussed what we feel some of the most stressful situations are in regards to our work situation. They said that they hope to be completely paperless by the middle of the year. I think that's stretching it a bit myself. But, we'll see where it goes. Hopefully some help will be sent our way.

Tomorrow is errand day and Sunday mom is gonna spend time with my aunt for her birthday (which is officially on Monday). So I will be stuck at home. Maybe I can get some stuff watched.

Trivia of the day: In the world's oceans, there are: 58 species of sea grasses. Less than 1,000 species of cephalopods - squids, octopi, & pearly nautiluses. 1,000 species of sea anemones. 1,500 species of brown algae. 7,000 species of echinoderms - starfishes, sea urchins, sea cucumbers and sea lilies. 13,000 species of fishes. 50,000 species of molluscs.

Since I won't be posting on Christmas Day, I wanted to get my greetings out early. I'm saying both to cover all bases.

We're going to be going flying tomorrow. I think this time will actually be successful. I don't feel as nervous this time since I know he's instrument rated and has logged in a lot of flying time. I'm not going to be taking my camera though since I don't have a telephoto lens and I doubt I'd be able to really get anything.

Last night was the Christmas Party our Music Minister holds for members of the Worship Team which I am a member of. We made our third annual Gingerbread House contest! Our team made a gingerbread Mobile Home, complete with clothes line in the back yard, a crooked antennae and even a dog with dried blueberries as droppings and food coloring for yellow snow. We didn't win. Mom's team did with their version of "Polar Express Meets Peanuts" but we got points for originality. I should've taken my camera for pictures, but mom had forgotten about it and so we kinda had to rush.

I think I'm gonna need to to another minor icon shuffle after Christmas. Not only did I make a super cute 'Immortal Rain' one from the new cover of volume 7, but I have not only the ES one I made, but the one [livejournal.com profile] xskadi is making for me. I seriously need to work on that stupid table...



I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday! Here's the Christmas Gift my friend Stampers made for me on ATACT:

Quote of the day: "To receive a gift, molded from love and sacrifice, selected with care and tied up with all the excitement the giver has to offer, is indeed rare. They don't come along often, but when they do, cherish them." -- Erma Bombeck
