MOPS

Well we went to and survived through our first MOPS meeting.

The Orclette cried when I left her in the childcare area but settled down eventually, although the childcare worker who I left her with said that the Orclette wouldn't let her out of sight.

The Miniorc was great and slept through the entire thing.

I met the moms at my table, explained why I was in Las Cruces at least twice, and commented that it wasn't very green here a few times. I -felt- like the youngest person there. I'm sure I wasn't, although I might've been the youngest with two kids there. But many women are waiting to have kids and this group is no exception so mebbe I was (not that they were old, just in their 30's rather than mid-20's). We had food, we listened to announcements, we watched a video (the speaker cancelled) starring a very lively and entertaining speaker (her topic was motherhood of course) and then we did a craft.

That's awesome. We're a bunch of moms who have crafttime.

The craft itself was something I want to know how to do myself: we made ceramic cup-holder thingies. Decorated them, actually. They're quite pretty. And I only have the one ...

And we have fundraising duties. I am TERRIBLE at fundraising. Fortunately it's sell what you can and don't worry if you have no persuasive abilities.

So it was kind of fun. The more we go the more fun we'll have, as we make friends and start to recognize people. I'm glad I signed up.

What exactly does MOPS stand for? Is it a military based volunteer effort?

Sub-Teach, On monday, I had about 80% of this written as a reply to your comment before I figured I should just drop it into a post. Yay for thought spam from simple commentary. To be clear: I'm not anti-our-current-president. I didn't like his solution for the recession(the bailout(which was started by our previous president)) but I'm certainly not blaming the recession on him. I understand that it was my dear party that thought you could spend AND cut taxes at the same time. I'm not really in favor of the way in which the other party wants to extend the tax cuts(cutting some and not others). I would rather we let all of the tax cuts expire and everyone equally paid a little bit more. BUT I'm really not happy with the idea that we can extend all of them when we are in record levels of national debt, which is what my party espouses. No our current president didn't have much time to fix the economy...and any good/harm he did probably won't be evident

A post!

So Beowulfa recieved the Burning Crusade as one of her many christmas presents. As a side note, she also recieved a picture of a chick with a pet lion. Sort of like Angharad. Anyways, we're poking Drenai characters in a "ooo that would be cool" kind of way. Since it was her birthday present and all... and if the characters were not BElf or Spacegoat then it wouldn't be using the present! So we're going to at least get them to 10. And BElf's are too... pretty in an ugly way. I don'ts like them. She doesn't like them(much?). I said Spacegoat. She quickly created a male drenai priest(this morning). We talked about it at lunch and she's going to make a paladin instead, I think. I slightly warned her off of priest because I've heard they solo about as well as a warrior heals. I'm.... undecided. We have warrior, paladin, mage, priest, shaman, hunter. I've been told I need to be something tankish. So mage and priest are gone. I'm definin
