Christmas...

WOW!!! Christmas is only a few days away! Where has the time gone? I feel bloated because I have not exercised. We have been visiting family and will be visiting more as well as having one niece for a couple of nights this week. I will get here tomorrow (22nd) and she will be with us until we take her home on Christmas Eve. It is SO exciting to think about having a kid in the house on Christmas Eve morning! R is 10 and so much fun! She is a wonderfully conscientous girl and we have been having fun putting up decorations in anticipation of her arrival. We also have a baby nephew turning ONE on Thursday! They grow up WAY too fast. I know that sometimes I still get that "twinge" of wanting a baby of our own, but I also realize that is just not in the cards for us. I am so very grateful, however, to have 2 nieces and 3 nephews to love and help care for. Thank God for sisters who "share" their children!

Happy Holidays!

It has been AWHILE

Well, nobody reads this anyway, but it has been almost a year since my last post. For one thing, my friend who was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer in my last post is doing VERY well. She is cancer free and is moving to NC soon with her partner. I wish them the best. The baby nephews arrived in December and January. Yes, the ? in my last post oh so long ago turned out to be a boy. He was born early and had to spend some time in the hospital, but both guys are doing well and growing like little weeds. I have also changed jobs. Main jobs anyway. I am still helping my old boss with some stuff as supplemental income which will be nice, but a new day job. It's pretty cool with more people and better benefits. I like it. Personal life is good. I am still quite in love with my wonderful S. We still have 5 critters.... The puppies are grown and they are sweet 85% of the time. I just love them! What can I say? I am busier than a one-armed paper hanger, but maybe some blogging will be good for me. Maybe one of these days I will even get a reader!!!!
