'Puter sick

My computer is on it's way back to the manufacturer. Potential mother board issues. So, I will be without for about 10-14 days. *sigh*

Thanks to all of you who have sent me e-cards!

I'll miss you all during my brief but painful hiatus!

Tree

We decorated for Christmas today. We could easily have 2 LARGE trees and maybe get all the ornaments on them. Very productive day though. Cleaned, lauandry done, yard moved, all the chops grilled, and lucnh made.

Nativity

Frank's grandmother made this Nativity. It is ceramic, pale blue and ivory. Similar to Lladro. It was made in the 70's.

Sushi

OK, I have had so many comments on my sushi, I will answer a few questions that have been posed to me.
1) No fish. The orange are carrots. These are actually classified as California Rolls.

2) I have limited likes in my sushi. The eel was OK. The BBQ Chicken was AWESOME! You'd be surprised at all the different types. MANY without raw fish or fish at all.

3) Some of the fishy taste, I have found, comes from the Nori which is made of seaweed. Apparently, there is a kind that is not made out of seaweed, but I have yet to find any. (If any of you see it, snag me some pu-lease! I will repay you)

Sushi

I made Sushi tonight. First try and they turned out not too bad looking. As soon as I can figure out why I can't get pictures sent from my phone, I'll post pictures.


Here is the Sushi

Today

Is our DD's birthday. It is also tha anniversary of the day, 2 years ago, that I sent an e-mail to my husband through reunion.com.

Your Score: 9 - the Peacemaker

How to Get Along with Me

• If you want me to do something, how you ask is important. I especially don't like expectations or pressure.
  
• I like to listen and to be of service, but don't take advantage of this.
  
• Listen until I finish speaking, even though I meander a bit.
  
• Give me time to finish things and make decisions. It's OK to nudge me gently and nonjudgmentally.
  
• Ask me questions to help me get clear.
  
• Tell me when you like how I look. I'm not averse to flattery.
  
• Hug me, show physical affection. It opens me up to my feelings.
  
• I like a good discussion but not a confrontation.
  
• Let me know you like what I've done or said.
  
• Laugh with me and share in my enjoyment of life.

What I Like About Being a NINE

• being nonjudgmental and accepting
  
• caring for and being concerned about others
  
• being able to relax and have a good time
  
• knowing that most people enjoy my company; I'm easy to be around
  
• my ability to see many different sides of an issue and to be a good mediator and facilitator
  
• my heightened awareness of sensations, aesthetics, and the here and now
  
• being able to go with the flow and feel one with the universe

What's Hard About Being a NINE

• being judged and misunderstood for being placid and/or indecisive
  
• being critical of myself for lacking initiative and discipline
  
• being too sensitive to criticism; taking every raised eyebrow and twitch of the mouth personally
  
• being confused about what I really want
  
• caring too much about what others will think of me
  
• not being listened to or taken seriously

NINEs as Children Often

• feel ignored and that their wants, opinions, and feelings are unimportant
  
• tune out a lot, especially when others argue
  
• are "good" children: deny anger or keep it to themselves

NINEs as Parents

• are supportive, kind, and warm
  
• are sometimes overly permissive or nondirective
