Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

I Name It

Happy Birthday, Lloyd! On this day in 1843, Charles Dickens’ Yuletide tale, “A Christmas Carol,” was first published in England

I have developed a rather large zit on my cheek. It looks like an old-fashioned stress zit. I used to name them for the things that made them appear… Term Paper, Final Exam, Senior Recital. If I had to name this one, I might just call it Last Two Weeks Before Christmas Break. It is large enough to be unmistakable, but it’s not ready for any kind of procedure.

I don’t know why I seem to be extra stressed this year. I have some pretty severe back pain right now that I think is from stress. Beth just made an appointment with a Seward massage person for me. I’m really looking forward to that.

In the meantime, perhaps I’ll just need to pig out on all the Christmas candy the kids are giving me, and watch some Rudolph on TV. Today is the last day of school before break! Woo hoo!

Look away... I'm hideous.

      That’s where I tore skin off my finger during a church council meeting on Wednesday.

      • Lloyd

        Were you gnawing it off in a vain attempt to escape?

  2. Beth

    Your eyes look tired. Maybe you should just call in sick and sleep all day.

  3. Peggy

    Maybe your head is turning into a Christmas tree…this is just the 1st ball, I can’t wait until the lights & tinsel sprout!

    Beth–a massage?!? Is this a gift? Excellent!!

    • Lloyd

      Yeah, the bad news is that I’m the one giving it.

      • Kristi

        Ha! Wasn’t Potratz the masseuse? (sp?)

    Today is Arron’s last day of school also. Unfortunately we’re having an ice storm, so school was cancelled. We’re sad because it is supposed to be “Christmas Loot Day.” 🙁

    Maybe it’s a ” pig out on all the Christmas candy the kids are giving me” zit. Don’t worry! Life is good and TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!!!

    So did you walk around covering it all day? If you used a pretty fan, you could be like a male geisha. “Three little maids from school are we…”

    • Lauren

      You’re singing it now, aren’t you?

      Nope – he made no effort to cover it at all. It was right there for all to see ALL DAY! We were so embarrassed by it that when we (Brad, Carol, Peggy, and me) went out for a drink after school, we asked for a booth in the corner!
