Would you believe this is the only picture we took?

Does anyone know how to lighten up the pictures after you've downloaded them from the digital camera to the computer? I would love to know how to do that. This was of course taken at night, in Natchochis, LA. Our little family of 3 went there for a couple of hours to walk around and look at the pretty Christmas lights, eat turkey legs like our squirrel is in the picture, cotton candy, and of course the famous meat pie. This was only about an hour or so from his parents house, so we went and stayed the night with them. We had a very nice visit with them. We go there at least every other month to visit and catch up on stuff. His Mom isn't feeling well at all. She's been sick with this and that for some time. She's been going through a bunch of tests for the health workers to figure out what's wrong with her. No one has found anything to make her feel as horrible as she has been feeling. Blood tests, MRI's, X-ray's, an angiogram, and lots of other fun tests that have done nothing but make her even more uncomfortable for a while after the procedure. I hate that word, "procedure", don't you? It's really just a nice word for "something really horrible that you should dread all night the night before you get it done",

So, Angelina is pregnant with Brad's baby?!?!? Whatever, I have to see it for myself. And, now to get even I guess--- Jen and "Slick" are going to plan to have a baby within the year also. Oh, and now Nicole Kidman is getting Tom Cruise back by marrying Keith Urban. I guess there have been worse crimes, but who ever heard of getting even by doing stuff like this? I guess they're getting even, it sure couldn't be because they love each other.

My little family has gotten rid of the puppy named, "Katie". We sold her, and went to this other town about 30 miles from our house to get another puppy. Katie was really just about the dumbest dog I'd ever met. She pee'd every time you even looked like you were coming her way to pet her or pick her up, or whatever. Plus, she was really rough with MY dog- Elvis. She'd bit and chew on him to 'play', but it left him with sores and scabs all over the place. Elvis is really way too nice. I would've eaten her for lunch by now, but he's a gentleman. Daisy- the puppy we have now (and will keep forever) is a border collie mix. I think she's mixed with an australian shepherd, but they never got a look at the "milk man". She is just the sweetest thing, with an awesome disposition. I know she'll learn fast, and really already is a great dog. We just have to do some fine tuning on her "house training". She's 4 months old and was born on Oct. 15th. Get this, my husband even likes her. We could've gotten her when I get back from AZ, but he said he doesn't mind watching her. He even sounded somewhat excited to get to do it. Daisy sits on his lap a lot and falls asleep.

I've been working every day for the past week at the Gap. It's good I guess because I'll have some money left over after Christmas. Lots of drama going on at the other job- the school bus job. It sucks, but I like the bus and the kids. Just not the people or "kind" of people I work with. I'll probably get all kinds of comments for that, but it really is awful the way these people act, and they're grown! So, I'm gonna go to bed now so I can pretend I'm going to sleep until my alarm goes off at about 4:30a to get us up and headed off to the airport. I'll keep up with the blog though probably while I'm there. Chow for now!
