Happy Monday

I have been running around work getting the toys gathered for the toy drive. We want to make sure all toys that require batteries have batteries. I mean, can you imagine getting some great toy and then it doesn't function without batteries? And you have to wait?
I received almost $1,200 in donations from people at Onyx. Nice, huh? I made a trip to Best Buy and a trip to Target. I think I did pretty good. I had a lot of fun, too. Man, toys are expensive!

We had fun at the party yesterday. The house boat is really cool. A little small for a family of 4. But cozy. I met some nice people and had a fabulous bean dip. I need to get the recipe for that. We had a little cute hooded blanket for baby Owen. And big sis, Lila, I made her a cotton candy scoa. She just loved it. I told her I guessed that she really liked pink and purple. She is such a doll.

I got some studying done yesterday. I have the final exam printed out and I am going through the questions while rereading the chapters one more time. I am happy to say that many of the questions I am pretty sure of the answer right away!
So I should be done with my course pretty soon.

This week will be a little crazy at work, since it is our last week for the year. I am looking forward to my time off. But I think this week is going to be a little nuts.

And a shout out to my mom, Happy birthday Mom! I will call you when I get home today. I love you!
