Our credit card was declined
at Target today...
What?

So we call,
and the had put a block on our card,
so we could verify some recent charges...

$1500 at a car dealership in Lansing Michigan
Another $500 charge,
and 3 or 4 other charges

So our credit card is stopped,
and we will be getting new ones.

Grant asked them to rush the card since we'll be leaving for Alaska on Friday.

So, yeah,
Grant and I leave for Alaska on Friday.
ALASKA! It is almost surreal.
I am so excited.
I'll be doing my vacation blog for that one,
so check there.

My classroom is all set up.
Ready for a new year.
Well, mostly. Enough to make me happy, anyway.
Enough that I won;t be worried while gone.
Last thing I need in Alaska is to think about what I have left to do.
So why is it almost done?
Well, I printed up a bunch of new posters,
and decided to save ink and trees,
I would laminate them before I put them up.
Unfortunatly, we are out of laminate.
SO when I get back,
I will laminate.
If we have it then.
If not.
Oh well.
I'll put them up and laminate them later.

All supplies are bought.
folders for each kid,
pencil boxes,
book marks...

Ready to go.

Big Brother -
Kaysar gone
unbelievably sad
But its true -
he is too good for that game.
too good of a person.
I'd like to see him on the Amazing Race.
Anyway - HOH redo, due to technical difficulties.
Janelle won!
Unbelievably happy.
At least she is in for one more week!
