I’ve been busy. Can you tell? Not a single post or comment in like 10 days!! That’s almost a record I would think. I’m afraid to say that I don’t think you’ll be hearing much from me in the next month or so. It’s crunch time at our house (I’ve added new pictures to my photo link on the side of my blog…you can see it all drywalled…how exciting, lol). I’m ready to start painting on Wednesday. I’d be ready to go tomorrow, but apparently I’m not allowed to start until after the new year. So Wednesday it is. Somehow in the next four weeks we are going to try and get the house painted, install the hardwoods and tile so that our cabinets can go in before February 1 since that’s when Mr. Cabinetman is going on holidays and he refuses to stay home if my house isn’t ready before then…some friend…hmph! : )
We had a lovely Christmas. Lots of food (far too much), lots of gatherings, and way too many late nights for the girls. Hopefully they can get back into a routine in the next few days. Highlights of Christmas
* working on a puzzle…I love puzzles, but only seem to have the patience for them at Christmas.
* my new pink MP3 player. It’s the Sony NWZ-A816 4GB Walkman. Apparently it outranks the iPod Nano. It was rated one of the best MP3 players on CNET.com (and I got it on SALE!!).
* getting 4, count ’em, 4 new design books.
* gravy…mmmm
* taking the girls to a hotel this weekend (with a kids theme room). We spent a nice weekend away from mom and dad’s…swimming, relaxing, going to see the ‘Winter Wonderland Light Show’, taking them to see the Santa’s Village at the Children’s Museum, and just having family time.
* seeing the girls’ faces light up at each new gift. It was so fun to watch them open gifts that for probably the first time in my life, me getting gifts was almost unimportant…I said ALMOST ; ) For someone whose love language is gifts, that saying something.
Well that’s all I have to say this year. I hope to catch up with all my lovely blogging friends in the new year. I apologize for being seemingly uninterested in the blog world these days. My head is full of other things at the moment. Let’s just say that when I finally do get my high speed internet back and I’m in my new home I’ll have to take a week vacation, just me and my laptop and do some mighty catching up. Wish me luck on that one.
Happy New Year all! All God’s richest blessings to you in the next year (and always). And have a lot of fun. That’s always very important.
