The holidays

This seems like it's going to be a nice holiday season. Yes, we don't have much money, and I don't have a job, but God has given us peace, good friends and a very helpful family. He is taking care of us, and that's more than enough to be thankful for.
My kids, who were never into big Christmas lists, gave me a list of what they want. Without us even saying anything, they all decided to only choose 3 or 4 things.
Bri's list:
A pair of cute heels
A new digital camera
One of the new Guitar Hero games

Renee's list:
Ice skates (unlikely!!)
Some type of MP3 player
Demi Lavato's 'Don't Forget' cd (or Jonas Bros., Twilight soundtrack etc.)
Sim City Creator (a game)

Nate's list (it keeps changing):
Spore Creatures (a game)
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (a game)
Alvin and the Chipmunks Undeniable (unlikely!!)

I'm praying that I can get a job before the holiday so I can at least get a couple of these things.

My interview for IKEA is tomorrow. There was alot of people interviewing today, and they're going to be interviewing for the next few days. I hope I get the job - I really like IKEA. About 75% of my bedroom is IKEA stuff.

Bri is in Philly for Thanksgiving, and her dad is going to take her to visit other family. I hope she has a good time.

Well, pray for me tomorrow.

Thanks, and God Bless!

Why Type

Hi I have'nt blogged until now because I don't really like typing. Everyone else obviously likes to type but, don't blame me typing is just too boring for me. I don't understand why people type so much. Is it even a hobby? Someone needs to tell me because I'm clueless. Anyway you'll at least hear a little more from me from now on.

Well, I finally did it.

After over 7 years, I finally got a relaxer. I needed to do something to my hair. I'm doing alot of job hunting, and I want to be able to just run out the door if I get a good lead. With my locs, I had to make sure I touched them up, meaning washing and twisting them. After my locs, I had to straighten my hair with the comb, then use the flat iron, and it was still poufy. Nothing worked. So, here it is:

Nicole is a great hairdresser. She does Bri's hair as well, and it comes out very nice. It feels very different. I wonder how I'm going to get to sleep...

Anyhow, have you guys looked at facebook yet? It's a great spot to 'reconnect' with people. Lawrence and I have been on there alot in the past couple of weeks.

On to the kids: Nothing much is going on, Bri is definitely going to Philly, thanks to her father. He paid for her flight, and she's leaving Friday. She's excited. Renee's upset, but if she goes, I don't think she'll come back! She likes it down here, but she misses her Philly friends.

Well, I hope I have another interview before Sunday. I feel like I'm applying for EVERYTHING, but not getting called for much. I'm still praying and looking.

Renee wants to make a different dessert, when she does, I'll post it with pictures.

That's all for today. Thanks, and God Bless!

Leslie.
