In Hungary, Christmas Eve dinner wasn't served until the twinkling of a star was seen outside.
It takes 5 miles of lights to wrap around the entire Rockefeller X-mas tree.
Jack, the skeleton guy from Nightmare Before Christmas, had 400 different heads that they used for the movie.
St Nick used to have a tan suit before some guy wrote about it being red...it's been red ever since.
It takes 15 years to grow an average Christmas tree, which is grown in all 50 U.S. states including alaska and hawaii.
These are some things I learned as I was babysitting last night. there was a music channel on television playing christmas music, and every 30 seconds it would show a new christmas fact on the screen. i was watching it for two hours. there was a lot of interesting info, i don't remember it all though.
The twin boys I babysit are named Andrew and John. they are almost 9? months now, and i started watching them with natalie smith as a summer job...just until school started. after natalie left for college, jenn kept calling me back to sit for them. Jenn was my flute teacher years ago. she and her husband nate play in the phantom of the opera...and nate also works in the lion king and vegas show....apart from other work he has. so they are both busy and need the help with their boys. when i started watching them, they were only 3, almost 4 months old and itty-bitty. when i saw them again yesterday andrew was crawling around and john has four teeth growing in! next time i go they'll have mustaches and be sipping coffee! geez.
when i started sitting for them....
this is andrew
in october....
this is john
them now!
This is one of those "odd jobs" i've been workin lately. but even though it's half an hour away and sorta inconvenient, i just love these boys too much to give it up completely. i'm going to draw the line after december and hope that jenn's nanny can be more consistent starting january. it was good times while it lasted! but i need to find a job that is closer to where i live! it seems like the other two "odd jobs" i have are still on the go though. one, i'm a parttime receptionist at a therapist office. and the other, i'm an assistant to one of my classmates at her own business in children's spa parties. see what i mean by odd jobs? they have nothing to do with each other...but they all pay really good, i have connections in each, and they all pretty much came to me. i'm pretty darn blessed to have little jobs that mostly work around my school schedule and that i really enjoy. the money is appreciated too. ;)
Anyways, so sorry for not writing for a whole week. truth is, i was so nastily sick that i wasn't in the mood to even go online at all really. all i have left from it is a productive throat-clearing cough, but it all started tuesday when i started feeling achy all over. it was the kind that reached down to my bones, and i was shivering so bad at times. mom lathered me in unkers and doterra oils. thank goodness because i'm getting better already - right before a week of finals - and last time i felt down-to-the-bones sick it lasted for a week and a half. i love doterra oils. that's all i have to say. a long time ago, i even helped mom put together a website introducing them: ahealerineveryhome.weebly.com
Miracle workers i tell ya!
Wow. i didn't say anything i planned on saying in my post today. i actually have a lot of other stuff i was going to write down....guess it'll have to wait. one of it is....i've been having some serious dejavu. every day. i feel like i'm living in the past at times -- that's how bad it is. and it's in serious doses. i don't know what's going on. some people think dejavu is bad, some think it's good. i'll tell you what i think when i explain what's going on with me.
Also, is it time i moved to the singles ward? high school all over again? i hope not. but that's what i'm afraid is gonna happen. i never cared for singles ward, but i feel like the family ward is running out of things to offer [me]. i don't know guys. help.
If i don't write again for a while, it's probably because i'm trying to study for finals. 3 more to go and i'm out for the winter.
