Just a quick note to let everybody know I'm still here. We don't have internet acess at home anymore, we decided to save the $13 a month. So I'm sitting here in a cold library at 10 PM trying to get some work done for our Wee Read storytime tomorrow and our new homeschoolers classes too.

Xander is doing great. He started walking everywhere over Christmas. He now says mama, dada, nana, kitty and 'dat' (he says that all the time when he points to things and people think he's saying 'that'). We now have two kittys in residence. They chose us and started haning around last October. He started saying 'kitty' everytime he saw them. So one is Ms. Kitty and the other finally is being dubbed 'Gimli'. I started calling him 'Smokey Joe' because he is cream-colored with grey ears and tail (he looks a lot like our old cat, 'Coon and I'm quite sure Gimli is a decendant). I wanted to come up with a better name than Smokey and when my sister told me her cat's name was Arwen, I started thinking along those lines. At first I thought maybe Legolas since they both are of a fair color, but since the cat is extremely vocal I decided to go with Gimli. All through the movie Gimli complains. He complains about having to run all over chasing after the captured Meri and Pippin. Then he complains about not being able to see over the wall (one of my favorite scenes!).

Anyway, my laptop is still in the shop and although that doesn't mean I can't write (there is James' computer as well as plenty of paper and pens at the house) I haven't been writing. I've been catching up on housecleaning and working at the library. Which reminds me that I'd better finish up so I can go home...to a warm house.
