Happy 2011!!

Will post New Year's Resolutions and an update tomorrow! Off to the hot tub after celebrating a German New Year in Harmony, PA...on German time. The ball dropped at 6 PM and I was home before the drunks hit the road!

Be safe but have fun!! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

Soxy is Usually D's Dog, UNLESS...

I am sick. Soxy would not leave my side for the week before and during Christmas. I had the stomach virus that was going around and, unlike most, it lasted for over a week, not just 24-48 hours. Soxy was right by my side, no matter where D went, she was with me and if she went after him, he knew something was wrong and he needed to come see me. Now, when D is not home, Soxy is my shadow, but usually I can't get her attention if he is around. She is a very good doctor!

Merry Christmas Eve!!

To all of my friends and readers:

I wish you a very Merry Christmas with your family and friends! May Santa bring you everything you want and may you remember the true meaning of Christmas!!

Smiles,

I Think I'm Ready for Christmas...

Presents are bought and wrapped
Tree and house are decorated
Sweater is bought for Christmas Eve & Christmas Day
Cards are mailed...finally!!
Snow is falling; weather is too cold
Ham is bought for Christmas morning. I get to host my family's Christmas celebration this year; am excited but sad because I get to host because my Mother has pneumonia and shouldn't be doing anything until she heals completely!

What are your plans for Christmas?

Still Time to Exchange Christmas Cards...

I am still dragging my feet on this holiday assignment. Everything else is pretty much done, but I just can't get motivated to write out my cards. So please post a comment...with email...if you would like to exchange Christmas cards and I will email you so that we can exchange addresses.

Much holiday cheer...and Christmas joy,

Update on Life...Again

It seems like all I do around here anymore is post bulletted lists of updates on life. Once again, that is what I have come to do...

• Still working on my proposal...so thought I'd be done by now.
• Have the inside of the house completely decorated for Christmas...now if it would quit snowing long enough for me to put up the outside decorations.
• Have not even thought about writing up the cards for this year...so you have time to get on the list if you'd like one. Just email me with your address.
• All presents that have been purchased and received have been wrapped; still waiting for a few to come in the mail.
• Have my 3rd or 4th cold of the season, already...sick and tired of being sick and tired.
• Missing D, but he has one more trip this year and then I get him at home until after New Year's.
• Spent my Black Friday with my cousin's, as always. Had a great time! Took my niece this year, it was an adventure.
• Finished cardiac rehab and felt great; working out with my neighbor once I beat this cold. It hurts to breathe normally, not going to over-exert myself right now.
• Soxy is mad at me as the tree is up in her favorite room, and I had to put the baby gate up to keep her out. Not that she would intentionally damage the tree, but her tail has a mind of its own; and she seems to have no control over it.
• Spent Thanksgiving with D's family, but stopped at my parents on the way home. It was nice to see everyone.
• Mom is really sick, D is out of town, as is my brother, so it is up to my Dad to take care of Mom, check on me, and check on my sister-in-law...as that is what my parents do.
• Am making a New Year's Resolution now to blog more than 1x/month!

What is going on with you? How is your holiday shopping and planning coming?
