Having a knack for it

It's sunny and cold after the storm with another one on the way for this evening? My girlfriend came by with the intention of us going for a walk, but we felt it was too cold. We exchanged gifts anyway and she's on her way to Montreal to see her family.

M took the kids for haircuts and I have to get ready for our dinner party later this evening. M had to get the snowblower out last night, there was about a foot of snow to shovel although it was light and powdery. My arms are still sore from the shovelling that I did do. K came out to help, but just messed everything up by diving around in the snow. At least he got the mail for me after reportedly losing the key in the snow a couple of times.

L had an 89.4 average this term, and she needs 89.5 for academic excellence. She thinks she can make it up by the end of the year. The advanced math class is beating her down, the teacher gives impossible tests. Some of the kids get tutored outside of school and seem to know the material ahead of time. One girl even achieved a 100% math average! Well, to give her due credit, she must have a knack for the stuff.

There are some funny regifting stories from (regiftable.com) in the news article below!

  1. Nah! I don't regift because I'm too busy holding on to stuff for years and years. :-P
    Good to see you again Christine. You are always one to put a smile on my face.
