Cold Weather, A TRIP, and a Favor

Brrrrrrrrr. It's a little chilly today. The temperature, as I am writing this, is -9 with the wind chill at -35. We have been spoiled because we had several days where the weather was in the POSITIVE teens. :) I have actually walked to the post office and the store this week without freezing. I was planning to go to the post office today, but that might need to be put off for a couple of days.

I get to go to Anchorage. I am SO excited. It has its good and bad points. The good points are that I will be able to eat in a restaurant and have food that I didn't have to help cook or clean up. I will be able to do some grocery shopping. I plan to eat fresh fruit and vegetables until my eyes bug out. lol. I also will have a chance to take a shower for more than three minutes. I might even take a BATH, if I don't forget to buy something to scrub the tub--hotel tubs...SCARY. The bad side is that I am going to Anchorage to see the dentist. Now, I really like the personality of my dentist at home, but I HATE the experience. I am having some problems with my jaw, and there is a dentist in Anchorage that specializes in problems with TMJ. I have made my arrangements. Now I just have to hope that the weather is good enough for me to actually get TO Anchorage.

Last, but certainly not least, it is getting close to time when we will have our "Prom". Several of you sent dresses last year, and the girls LOVED them. Most of you have seen the pictures from the prom. I am again requesting that you look in your closets, your daughters' closets, your nieces' closets, or at your local store to find formals/prom dresses to send for the girls to use. The majority of these girls are VERY modest, so please keep that in mind. If you want to help, please contact me via email or facebook and I will give you all the information you need. Everyone who helped last year said that it was really a blessing for them. I look forward to your interest and responses.

Trying to stay warm.
