update

It's been a while, I know. My sister keeps asking me, if I updated my blog. Now I can tell her yes! I have a lot to say and not a lot of time to say it, it's Christmas time, right?
So we finally settled with our insurance for what we think is a fair offer for our car. But, what a MESS. I am so disappointed and disillusioned by the whole thing. We had to fight, and let me tell you, it was a battle. In the end we ended up getting over a thousand dollars more than their first offer. It pays to be persistent.
Tomorrow I am going out to the Grove, which is a big outdoors mall in LA. My sister, niece, mom and mil are going to the American Girl store. I'm sure we will go to some other stores too, wink wink. I love that Maddie (my niece) is still into dolls and still is a little girl at age eleven.
Harrison's Christmas show was Monday night. It was very cute, but a tad long at an hour and fifteen minutes. Yesterday he and I went to Color Me Mine and painted Christmas ornaments. I'll pick those up next week, and I can't wait to see his gingerbread man.
I am making bigger Christmas stockings for the boys. Santa has had a hard time making anything fit, so I'm helping him out this year.
This is the coolest Christmas link I've seen: Love & peace
Make sure you have your volume on. Enjoy. :)

That love and peace is so cool. Don't you wish you could do all that as quickly as that? Hee hee.

I've been wanting to go to the Grove just to see it. Is it worth just wandering there? I am not much of a shopper.
