two things i've definitely done . . . .

There are two things I've definitely done since the holiday:

• STOPPED WRITING IN MY BLOG - have you noticed? There was so much going on during December, I just HAD to let blogging go OR I would have had a 'one-way' ticket to a padded cell. It worked perfectly - got so much done but now I'm having a hard time getting going again. I think one huge reason is because I have not yet made a Blurb book and that gets me a little down thinking I have (4+) years of writing still on unpublished - how depressing.
• FALLEN OFF THE DIET WAGON - and I was doing so well. I confessed at WW that my one huge hang-up were the goodies friends and neighbors left at our doorstep! I haven't fully recovered as our friends and neighbors were more than generous this year in their gifts of chocolate, cookies and such - ouch! So, tomorrow I'm finally getting my nerve up to go back and face WW music - anyone want to join me?

THE WEATHER! Our winter moved in at the beginning of November - I knew is was going to be long, cold winter and guess what . . . it's a long, cold winter with no sign of letting up any time soon! Guess what keeps me going - memories of Christmas (((((note to self: post all those photos that are sitting on the computer - there is a ton of them - DO IT!)))))

I ran across a really FUN idea of those of you who love to scrapbook BUT DON'T HAVE THE TIME, $$$ OR ENERGY TO DO SO. I'm actually going to wait until MINE shows up in the MAIL in about 5 days - then I'll share photos, links that will get you excited (once again) in putting together your photos in an organized, beautiful way without (hardly) any effort - YOU'LL LOVE IT. I fell in love with it almost immediately! This will keep you in suspense. (((note: if you can't wait, just let me know and I'll post the links sooner!)))

BABY BELLA update - she's doing pretty darn good. Get her excited about something /anything food-related and she cruises around so fast you can't even see her "three little legs" move. I think her psyche took a little hit as she's fearful of many things - unlike before. Sometimes she acts down-right weird!!! But basically, going through what she went through in loosing her leg - she's GREAT!

GMA-GREAT update - she is doing well too - she's got a cold right now but still walking everyday. She and a friend go over to the college and walk in the new indoor track - in my opinion, she gets her workout in way before she even gets to the track - it's a long walk from the car to the track! She seems to be over her Shingles - but, from what I hear, you're really never over them - they just lay dormant in your nerves - ready to strike again at any little on-set of stress! Comforting!

SHAWN AND KANDEE - heading to MEXICO Saturday!!! I had no idea until she called and said they wanted to get together before leaving since it has been a month since we've seen them. Morgie went to the doc yesterday and he told her she was border-line pneumonia - so she's on some meds to clear her up. I think Shawn's been up to his eyelids in snow-removal action, as well as dear ol' Brian! Adios, amigos (the extent of my bilingual skills) - you deserve the R&R!
