Subject: Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!!!

Hi all.Hope everyone is done (or mostly) with the Christmas crazies and ready to actually enjoy it.I have a few last-minute things to buy/do today,and have to work a half day tomorrow,and then I can relax.I've been meaning to post for a few days,but life just gets the better of me all the time.I've had it with this year.F*CK 2011.I've had way too many people I love and care about either pass away or get seriously injured.Add a couple more,now.Hubby's 89 yr old Grandma passed away on the 13th.She was a sweet,funny lady and will be missed.I have fond memories of playing cards with her,just talking with her,or even listening (while trying and failing to keep a straight face)to her argue with someone,which usually ended up in her saying 'Uh-huh.And you $hit,too!' in a decisive tone that effectively ended the argument.She slayed me with that.Then my husband cut right through his pinky tendons the other night while cutting up some chicken for dinner,so we had to go to the ER and spent close to 12 hrs there at the hospital while they did the surgery immediately,pretty much.So now he will be a house-hubby for a while so it can heal.Never fear,Nurse Ratched is here.But the doc said the surgery went great so that's a relief.

Kiddos are doing okay,although the boy has been very belligerent for about a week,and only cleaned up his act a couple days ago.Too bad for him that Santa DID notice and decided not to buy a couple things on that list.I'm a Scrooge like that.Plus I remember being a jacka$$ to my Mom one year shortly before Christmas,and she took everything back except a much needed new coat.It worked,I never acted up like that around Christmas again,and I still remember it about 25 years later,so there you go.Little girl has been pretty good and will get what she wanted.

Haven't had time to read much,in fact,I still have a couple books waiting that I bought with last years gift card LOL.Hopefully I'll get to those right after Christmas.What I have read has mostly been from my autobuys.One thing I love about the last book in a series is when you are about halfway through it,or even close to finished,and you can sit back and marvel at this turn or twist of events and go 'Wow!!! How did they do that?' when you KNOW it was not planned from the beginning because the first story did not even HAVE the character that links it with the last one.I know I'm not making any sense *G* but it always amazes me to see this happen,for it to all work out and be woven together so flawlessly.

Anyways,here's hoping your Christmas is beautiful and bright with family and friends.I miss my Mom like crazy & always will,but I am starting to celebrate her life in small ways,rather than dwell on her death.I got a cake on her b-day a few weeks ago and we each made a wish for her.I tell funny stories of her to my kids when they ask or even if something strikes me and I remember,and it comforts all of us and keeps her close in our hearts.

[> ((((Bo))))) I've missed seeing you here! Sorry to hear about your husbands mishap, but glad he is okay!!!! I didn't have the best 2011 either but I know 2012 will be so much better!!! This week I bought a Snoopy dog that stands up and dances when you press the button on his hand and he dances like James Brown almost, to the snoopy dance song for Christmas. It is so funny and cute. I liked it, and then thought "Do I really need more stuff like this when I have so much I don't even put out anymore?" But then I turned it on again in the store and liked it still and then it hit my as to WHY. It reminded me of my mom. We used to tease her about doing the "snoopy dance" so I got it - and It makes me smile to think of her dancing with Snoopy. We gotta have those fond memories that we can share of our loved ones, it makes the holidays seem more full somehow. Have a GREAT Christmas and New Year too!! -- Robin, Friday, December 23, 01:40:32pm
