I'm still here...

See what happens when I make an effort to keep on this thing!? I go and get sick and can’t even stand the thought of hearing my fingers tap-tap-tap on the keyboard. Thankfully, I have since been medicated and am functional. Kinda.

Yes, I went out shopping the day after Thanksgiving. No, it was not all that productive. Yes, Lil Missy went with Sis and me. Yes, I got ONLY gifts. The first time out anyway. I did go back later to Ross and got three dresses (because I tried on about 15 and those were the only 3 that fit. And I loved them.) and it was less than $40. How could I afford to leave them there!?

The rest of the month flew by with parties, cleaning, visiting and good times:

* Bunco in December with our gift exchange. (I LOVED my salt & pepper shakers!)
* Portuguese Christmas party where Vanessa didn't cry with Santa and Damian asked Santa for 4 toy penguins
* Work Christmas party on the Delta King

* Christmas with the inlaws at our house. (it lasted 3 days.)
* Saturday after Christmas with my dad’s side of the family at our house. (35+ people, no tears!)
* Went to a Kings game, courtesy of our lovely friends visiting from Arizona.
* New Years Eve spent playing Wii until 9. Sleeping from 9:30-11:30, waking up when Arizona friends arrived. Kissed in the new year. Friends left about 12:20.

Exciting stuff, huh??

No so much, I know.

Our Christmas tree is still up. It’s coming down tonight. I have already packed up all the ornaments, and taken off about a fourth of the lights. Have a few more strands to remove. I’m so over it this year.

I don’t make New Year’s Resolutions. I just don’t. This year won’t be any different. I have been trying to loose weight and be generally healthier, and have been doing okay with that. I will keep that up. Damn it. I will.
