A little for everyone ...

My sister-in-law says blogging will make me feel better.

For the record, she also says that returning to spin class will make me feel better, too.

I say, what the hell does she know?

Okay, okay. I know she's right, but still. I haven't had time to blog - or spin (and, GoGo, if you correct me here and say I just haven't MADE time for either, I'm smacking you. Even if you are right.)

So my last post was about the Princess' first day of skating lessons.
(This Sunday is the last day of the session.)
My last post also included the trip to the ER with Little Man and his ruptured ear drum.
(Which, has since healed, although now "we" are back to waking multiple times each night - a problem that was almost cured when the whole ear issue surfaced. Ugh.)

Since my last post, we said goodbye to our dear, sweet lab/shepard mutt, Monster (we didn't name her, she came with the name). I still find myself expecting her puppy kisses on occasion when I walk in the house.
The other day, Princess said this: "Mommy, I miss Monster. I wish she wouldn't have died before Christmas, so we could have had one more holiday with her."

Ugh. Heart breaking ...

I just took the Halloween decorations down 2 weeks ago.

I still don't have the Christmas tree up.

(Hey, who do I look like, MARTHA FREAKING STEWART?!)

Since my last post I attended the city council meeting, of a city in which I do not live, to support a woman so strong and inspiring it makes me want to be a better person. I am honored and blessed to call her a friend.

I have received more "Merry Christmas" cards than "Happy Holidays" ones, and that makes me happy.

I have an opinion on Tiger Woods but am requesting privacy on the matter. My family knows where I stand on the issue and that's all that matters.

I don't believe Gov. Granholm when she says sh!t is going to turn around in our state. Not because I don't have faith that it will, I just have NO FAITH in her ability to get us there.

I am already planning how to get into a State Dinner at the White House without an invitation. Maybe I can hand deliver my ideas on healthcare reform ......

Peace.

Well said. You've made many people happy. Yourself included, I hope.

Thanks.

I don't know about "many", I'll settle for you and my mom.

Don't forget me. I am very happy now.

You can chalk one more "Happy Holidays" to the roll. Just don't tally it twice, once now and again when it eventually arrives. The card I ordered didn't have an option to personalize that part. Don't shoot the Happy Holiday-er.

Loved this blog post. My blog is up in heaven with Monster.

Sorry it has taken me until now to read your blog.....yes, I knew it was there...BUT the last week of school was CRAZY and I admit, I didn't make time to log on to your blog. Forgive me! Your words always make me happy, these included. We agree, btw, on TW. Also JG. Might have to duke it out on HCR. Can't wait to have everyone together on Christmas Eve. Really......can't wait!

T: Could NEVER forget you. Silly, silly girl.

Mimi: You are forgiven. And, I can't wait for Christmas Eve either.

Mimi, a word of advice... never duke it out with a Duke-surer. Merry Christmas. May 2010 be bright, happy, and healthy. xoxo
