WEST TEXAS STATE SCHOOL CHRISTMAS PARTY.

Well it was fun time for the 15 or so WTSS guests that showed up.
It was 28 degrees last night so a very fast game of horseshoes was played by gene and 3 others.
The food was good.
Very nice people...i finally got to meet some of them.

There was a mini-riot or a great big fight (however you wanna look at it) at WTSS last week in the education hall cos there's been no security there since they are so short handed. So why the hell do they have security in trucks cruising the facility perimeter and looking at nothing but jackrabbits? They should be where the kids are. A teacher got kicked in the head and another got punched in the face. By the time Gene hurried over from the gym it was all over. It was a planned gang thing. Those kids don't care if they live or die...and they don't care if the teachers and guards live or die.

The Sheffield TYC near here...sorta...only has 39 students....now THAT'S a waste of money! Why aren't THEY in the news?

Brownie troop #90 will be here on wed. for their christmas party.
Jamey arrives on tues.
It sure has been cold at night here...it's going to be 23 tonight.
Damn...that makes our electric bill so big....the november bill was double what it was in Oct.

It's been really busy at Needleworks...i worked an extry day this week. People are bringing in bathrobes, towels, sheets and christmas stockings for monogramming. and we are making dallas cowboy sweatshirts. the hardest thing is these big, bulky jackets that the oil well people and welding companies etc. are bringing in. they are a bitch to "hoop" and pretty cumbersome to get on the machine and work with. i did 3 on wed. and they took an hour each....then just as i was leaving this guy brought in 12 more.
Men call up Peggy and ask what she has picked out for them to give their wives for christmas. The other day this old guy from kermit that is pretty much blind called and asked peggy what she had for his wife and she said "well, i've picked out something but didn't want to wrap it up until you saw it". He said "hold it up and let me see." So she actually walked over and got the garment and held it up near the phone! He said that'd do just fine and to wrap it up. That cracked me up.
The other day i was monogramming the name "Adriana" on a christmas stocking and this song came on the CD player that i like and it's called ADRIANA!

Last weekend we drove to san antonio to see gene's mom and have dinner with brook. Gee, there were campers and R.V.'s of every description parked all over the place out in the hills....HUNTERS! And then you always see pick up trucks with hooves and horns sticking up...ew.

I'm feeling better and better about how the lobby floor turned out. We ate dinner last weekend at Josephine St. Cafe in S.A. and they have 100 year old wood floors...oh...i get it now....they're SUPPOSED to look like that! I guess i've been watching too much HGTV do-it-yourself shows where the homeowners say that "these are the original floors that we had refinished"...and they look brand new and all smooth and shiny. Gene made some jim dandy transitions for the doorways with his little router and i matched the stain to the floors pretty well. He said it felt funny to get up this morning and not have the floor to work on. What will be our next project?

Our christmas tree looks even smaller this year than it did last year....it's shrinking. Our house is just so big. the ceilings are high and the rooms are big and what looked fine in kyle is dwarfed in this house.

I'm sorry that the auction house in Carlsbad didn't publish the realized sale prices from the last show. I REALLY wanted to know how much that chuckwagon sold for.
