Ok, Halloween's WAAAAY over, just haven't had the time/desire to post anything. I've been crazy busy, as I usually am this time of year. I wrote/played for a Relief Society Christmas lesson the first week of December. That involved four different groups singing four different songs, so rehearsals for that. I'm also the pianist for the Stake Choir, which had a big Christmas fireside on the 13th. Besides the choir on that one, I played for most of the small ensemble pieces. Then, one of the girls who sang for me in the RS program called, said her hubby was in charge of Sacrament Meeting on the 20th and wanted to do the program I wrote. No biggie, except about a 1/3 of the people aren't going to be here, so I had to practice with a bunch of new people.
We're on the tightest budget I can remember for Christmas, so we're having to be very creative, which takes time. No Christmas cards this year....which I swore I would send out because I didn't last year... just can't spend the stamp money. I do have a couple of very cool gifts in the works that I'm excited about, and not having any money makes the actual shopping part MUCH faster. I got lazy in the Christmas decorations department, too....only put up the tree this year. And the giant Christmas star, which actually never got taken down because it was a pain to get up there in the first place.
I apparently have no charger for my Canon 20D, so no pics either. Sam takes loads of pics, I just don't ever get them. His old 5D used the same charger as my 20D, apparently we only had one charger and he sold it with the old 5D to pay for the new 5D Mark II. So, I'm scouring ebay for a charger. When we find one,or when I can pin him down to get me some pics, I'll post a REAL post. I sort of have a weird issue about posting without a picture.

No picture necessary. I consider this post to be a REAL post.
YAY an update!!!
Shell, I don't think you ever stop. Do you sleep? Just wonderin...
We're being "creative" this year too, I'm finding it to be lots of fun and I'm pretty happy about what I'm making.
Hope your Christmas is great on a budget! Those are usually the best and I hear a lot of people are having them this year!
You are always mega busy! Good to see an update.
This is the first year I am not being creative which has been nice because that requires much more work on my part being that I am not a creative person. Hope you have a great holiday!
The only thing I'm good at being creative about is the gag gifts. Smarts of you guys to never take that star down! Hope you have a great Christmas!
That was a real live post, all right! We have a tight budget this year too, but I'm enjoying the challenge of finding cheap presents. I think the kids will be pleased with what my creativity produces. So are you coming through Vegas this year? My house is company free the week after, so I'll be perpetually ready for you just in case.
We haven't decided...once again we have demands on our time from other people that are playing havoc with what we really want to do. I'll call you if we're coming.
