Here is a link to audition for a Virtual Choir! I posted the mindset just before this one! I have a niece in Oregon with the voice of an angel and I am definitely passing this on to her!
Merry Christmas singers!
I am up early early early. It's barely 2AM and I have to be on the road to Buffalo by 10:30AM. Taking my little Guatemalan Princess and her mommy to the INTL airport. They are on their way home in time for Christmas. This has been my goodwill deed project of the year. In late September I received a hail Mary call from a friend I worked with during the summer in a migrant family workers literacy and math program. Needless to say this family is here illegally. Got stopped in someone's car with a broken tail light and hauled of to INS prison. The little girl, then barely 15 months old,was still nursing as is most common in the Hispanic culture. I was begged by the mother and the immigration officer to take custody of the little girl so she would not go into the system. Melissa cried for 2 1/2 hours straight after I had to take her from her mommy and daddy. The only thing that soothed her was my singing in Spanish every song I could think of. After nearly 3 weeks in prison, the immigration officer called me to see if I would take custody of the mother as well so she could be returned to her nursing daughter. God works in mysterious ways as I was In Grand Island NY near the Buffalo immigration facility at a Mary Kay seminar. I had her brought to the hotel where I was staying and took her home the next day.I had been negotiating on their behalf and was able to convince them she would not be a flight risk. It took since September 29th until a week ago to get the birth certificate for the daughter, born here and a US citizen. The father has a second offense so he will remain incarcerated for another 2 years. A 4:30 AM arrival at the international airport for a 6:30 AM departure and she will arrive in Guatemala City about 12:30 PM on Christmas Eve. I am happy to have helped and pray I get to Buffalo and back in one piece. I hate driving long distances by myself.
WIth both hands in braces/splints this is not going to be a joy ride. She has promised me to help pay for the hotel and gas and I sure hope she does as I have very little money to spare. I lost my job December 10th as the contract was for only one semester. I know my sweetheart will come to my rescue if need be, but I too am proud and do not like to rely on his goodwill. Please pray for me as I set off on this journey in less than 6 hours.
I best try to catch a few more z'ssss.
Let you know how it all turns out tomorrow.
Love,
Valrie

Updates
Went to the hand surgeon today. It appears that all the cartilage in the left wrist something called TC3 are frayed and torn. Now 14 days to have the ENG's done and then another week after that for their results. They thought before seeing me today after reading the MRI'S I had Christmas week that they would be doing injections but now think I might need surgery! :-(
I am on total restrictions of the left hand wrist and in the splint and have to find voice assisted software today aw this hunting and pecking with the right hand is a PITW! aka PITA~
So off to the stores as I will not download ANYTHING this year with a credit card/debit card. TOO many frauds out there and I for one am no longer the scapegoat.
Pray for me! I need all the prayers I can get to overcome these life difficulties!
Until later I will be back with my voice assisted software!
TTYL!

Checking My List! Too much To DO NO Time to do it,
Oh my where has the time gone? I have so much to do it is driving me crazy! I have yet to start my holiday baking and candy molding, and confectioner's kitchen delight marathon will have to wait obe more half of a day. I got called to substitute today for a local elementary school with my favorites, the wee one. Kindergartner are so much fun at the holiday time.
Tonight I will mix up the dough for Kolachkis and make the old fashioned Dutch walnut filling. Mix up and chill 4 batches of snowballs, make the gingerbread men dough, SOME PINK Peppermint, the other, traditional and let that chill. ALso the Graandma's favorite sugar cookies,
I will make 6 different kinds of SPRITZ I found 2 old old old pressers at a garage sale and am just can barely wait to see them out on the weight, those spritz cookies are small but add up quick.
Some apricot cream cheese cookies for my favorite neice, and fudges galore are incstore. I just had the request for my reindeer bark too. If I get these all done it will be a miracle.
Well best be hopping in the shower and clean myself up for work and get on the road!
Have a happy day!
Please leave a comment!

Christmas Dreams Do Come True...George Michael - December Song (I Dreamed of Christmas)
After viewing this on a Sunday morning I just had to post this video rendition of George Michael's song!
When my daughter Jenni became an adult she said Mommy why can't Christmas last 365 days a year. The spirit of love that abounds at Christmas Time and the willingness to give to others if done for one day can be done for the other 364. Today as I bake cookies to send over to our troops, I give the love to many that I have for one, my Joey.
Christmas week for our Marines, our Army men, Airforce Pilots, the Navy sailors who travel the earth on water and below, with their friends of the National Guard, my wish to you is too have a safe Christmas Day and know that at lest this woman, and a mother of a US Marine has Christmas Thoughts of You!
And to one very special MARINE LANCE CORPORAL your mother loves you!
A blessed day to all!
Valrie
Merry Christmas Sunday!

Pink Week Before Christmas Poem!!!! Better Late Pinks Than None AT ALL
I have been met with so much adversity this week it has been hard to think PINK for this Saturday.
My computer died and it was only 10 months young!
My hands are both in splint demobilizers. I have had 3 MRI's since Thursday evening.
I am behind on all of my college coursework and had to apply for incomplete in progress due to the hand splints and the computer dying AND good old Toshiba backup had not backed up anything sinceNovember 24th. Most of the research and work on my 2 doctoral courses was since December 1st. Lucky me!
But I am not going to let it get me out of the PINK holiday mood. My favorite holiday song. Oh Holy Night, in honor of my mom in Heaven here are the Celtic Women singing it:
Positively PINKS I am almost done decorating my home and tomorrow start on my sweetheart's. I will post pics soon of both.
Here is my PINK for today....
PINK WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS
Twas just 6 days 'til Pink Christmas and all through our blogs
We were hustling and bustling, PINK is the word!
Not a a keyboard was silent, not a follower left alone
For truth is PINKS PINKS PINKS filled our homes!
The posts were all up, typed out with such care, in hopes that
Our blogger friends soon would be here!
Special friends we have met all the year long through
If I hadn't met you I don't know what I would do!
FIrst for me was the OWOH campaign, new friends I met
And I'll surely visit them this February again.
Swaps that I joined, and crafts that I tried, tears that I cried.
And sometimes I gave up as the internet just died!
Tussies among us, swaps for all seasons,
Brown paper bags, May days, just a few reasons -
Something old something new something borrowed and blue
I sent out to many from what I could do.
Enrolled in my courses and typed away all
Faster than most, researching each call...
Resumes gladly I sent out abroad, waiting and waiting
Hoping they'd call. My experience too, most entertaining.
Soon I had found not one , not two jobs but three!
Oh how my heart sung with such jubilee!
Now as the season for giving is here
I just want to tell you I hold you all DEAR!
Whether a follower be, or first visit to me, friend you are!
What I love about blog-land is you come from near and afar.
We don't need a bus a train or a car, not even a plane to fly
To our friends, all we need is our imagination, time, don't you agree!
Well, the day is drawn near to end that I see, and 'tis time
For me to name out those most gracious to me in rhyme...
First and foremost Vanessa the most famous friend of them all,
Not just my friend, a sister who answers my every call.
Dear Beverly here at the Pink Saturday POSTS
She outshines Rudolph and is a fabulous host!
Teresa, my friend one of my first encouragers, contentment
You instilled in me of a writer of poetry and prose, excitement...
Came when I earned my first rose! Belief in yourself, just goes to show...
Sherry brown bagged it with me from afar, no better friend as you!
Sandi at a Legacy of Stitches connected me too with many of you!
The gals at A Swap for All Seasons, taught me a thing about borrowed and blue!
One World One Heart was the start of it all, as I was bored, and forlorn
My world had been lost, my belongings all gone, and my heart was torn.
I gently and "scaredly" enter the world of blog-land to give it my hand,
Awoke the next day to so many replies, now I needed music too and a band!
The months quickly past and the tears of my eyes dried
So fast did my followers grow, it made me misty eyed.
Campaigning along the way for the US Troops, a new blog was born
Now, I am not shy and will freely blow my own horn!
From one to two to three blogs I have and 2 businesses two!
My hands are so full now I do not know what to do.!
Except dear bloggers on this PINK SATURDAY a week before Christmas
Nothing left to say or do, BUT say thank you, as you are ALL angels among us!
On one and on all to pink blog- land we go, typing through snow
Clicking the keys that makes us all grow and smarter you know!
To prance among PINK reindeer, pink castles of ice
Seeing what's pretty in pink, naughty and nice!
So go hang your PINK stockings by your chimneys with care
Hope and pray that our PINK ST. Nicholas soon will be here!
Then dash away bloggers and see what is amidst
While bringing yourself some Holiday bliss!
