This SHIG is Cheesing Me Off!!!

I think I'll start a new Label for my posts here entitled "Stuff That Cheeses Me Off!

The first thing on said list will be trying to post pics here and they don't upload correctly. Case and point...

So for the first time in like...EVER I'm trying to update my blog. You know, write a little and post a few picks but everytime I try to upload the photos they won't upload. What shows up is a bunch of letters and symbols. What the flip am I doing wrong?

This Is My New Joint Right Here

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010

You guessed it, we spent New Years with Lia and Terry and had a blast!

Shannon and Samantha started it. Once they showed they could do their splits, everyone had to join in. I passed. It wouldn't have gone well for anyone had i tried.

I Love Toy Trains

I took Max and Precious to NorthPark Mall on Dec. 30th to see the minature train display since Max is a lover of all things having to do with trains. It was wonderful. They put such detail into these tiny scenes. The trains ran around the whole thing, going in and out of different scenes. There were even parts that were motorized and moves on their own (like the circus scene to the left. The little Ferris Wheel spun on its own) Maxwell thanked me all day long for taking him. These are the pictures Maxwell chose to display here.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Guess who's 38 years old today? Yep, this chick right here.

Had I been in another place in my life I'd be freaking out right now. 38 is just two years shy of 40! But...I'm where I'm at and being in place, I'm glad to be 38. I am happier, wiser and free-er (that's a word isn't it?) than I've been in my previous 37 years. I feel good about what's ahead of me. I feel the future is full of opportunity.

2010 will I'm sure, be full of obstacles but even more than that, it will be full of joy. I'm looking forward to this next year...IT'S GONNA BE A GOOD ONE as I continue to learn to fly again.

On the 15th Day of Christmas...

Just a short entry. Precious performed yesterday in the District-wide Orchestra performance. It was a very long but good program.

Maxwell's Addition to the Christmas Decorations

I LOVE CHRISTMAS! Everything about it and my boy is just like me. He wanted to add his own personal touch to our decorations and so he spent hours making 30 homemade snowflakes (while watching Dirty Jobs w/Mike Rowe...which is why it took hours...lol). These five are his favorites.
