Market News

Well the Market is fizzling. Today I made the least I've made this year. Next week will be my last week and then I will be opening an Etsy store. For those of you who don't know what Etsy is? It's an online farmer's market. So once that is set up and going I'll let you all know.

One cool thing did happen today. The owner of Spa Essentials came to my booth and she wants to sell some of my stuff! I'm pretty excited but I don't really know any details yet so we'll see how it all goes.

Time to wash a few sink loads of dishes and try to get rid of these fruit flies.

And so it begins!

I know there are those of you (Joni) who have been preparing for Christmas for a long time already. But my budget was okayed last night and so here is what I ordered this morning. I decided that we need some fun things to look forward to this Christmas. Little House... we love it, we're reading it. Why not?! Again I ask Why not?! This book is filled with devotions and ideas for family fun during the month of December. I LOVE HYMNS! I also really enjoy Mercy Me. I also enjoy that their lead singer's name is Bart Millard! Something to hang on my wall.

We will also be checking out the original Grinch that Stole Christmas and Charlie Brown's Christmas. I would also like to watch the polar express, even though we don't do Santa it would be fun.

So what are you doing this December?

Christy calls him - Joehinderjeet

Reuban calls him- Buster (That was his inutero name)

Edit- Okay I've decided to add our nicknames as well!

Dalen -Daley (but unless you're Lawrence I wouldn't recommend calling him that), Lover, Lover Duck (That one we stole from Shane and Laura), there are a few other things that I call him but they're between us ;) Dalen's red neck name is Fred.

Me- I've been called a lot of things in my life.. but I'm only going to relive the ones I've enjoyed ;) Shrimp and Beener (my Dad) now there are about four people who call me Been, Tom Lawrence and my parents. My Mom called me Beener Weener and Pookie all as a means to make me roll my eyes at her as I was growing up... when I was 9-12 I would get outright mad if she called me that around my friends... girls.

Ben called me SweeSwee for a while, I loved it so much but everyone made such a big deal about it that he stopped doing it :(

Sue is my redneck name. Chris calls me Sis. I'm not really his sister, but I did get to sit in the family section at his wedding (I was incredibly blessed) and he walked me into the sanctuary and handed me off to my Dad at my wedding. I'll have to scan a picture of that later. I remember him getting mad at me for crying because he was going to cry...

Jaclyn and I went on a road trip when we were 16, our parents let us sleep in the back of her car and drive all over BC for two weeks without any parental supervision... I don't know what they were thinking ;) We made up Alias'. I just can't remember what they were right now, there was something with Rain and one with and sh. Apparently it was deep and life changing. All I remember is that I started smoking again and there was a bear outside our car at one point.. and a lot of dirt roads... and how cool is it that Atlin lake is so HUGE that is has a mountain in the middle of it. I MSN'd Jaclyn and she can't remember either.. at least it's not just me. Oh and I left my wallet at the one hotel we slept in and when we got to the US border we had to turn around to get it and we were just really scared that they would take our smokes from us because we were minors. And Eagle valley... NO EAGLES!

Well that's all I can think of right now... TAG YOU'RE IT!
