OMG where did the last 20 days go ?????

Honestly I didn't think it had been that long since I posted. I was really really sick for at least 2 weeks tho, and I'm still feeling the residual effects of that. Then there was Christmas, which this year included us driving over 2000 miles between NH, Ohio and PA. Thank goddess we're only doing that every 2 years. Then there was my mother falling and snapping her ankle in 4 spots, requiring surgery just before Christmas. It never ends.

Let's try and do catch up (at least as much as my poor little brain can remember):

I ended up being diagnosed with a sinus infection and bronchitis. He suspected flu-like symptoms as well, but I refused that diagnosis. Hey I figure if I don't believe it... well it's worth a shot. I am better though!

The holidays at my in-laws were interesting. Lots of new traditions, some a little bit hard to get used to, but nonetheless wonderful. I am very lucky that I love my in-laws and I'm pretty sure they like me. DD got every thing for Barbie Swan Lake, I swear. Of course since I got most of it *grins* Please, barbie with a unicorn ?? A PURPLE Unicorn ??? I was all over that one!

We boarded 2 of the furbabies in a kitty inn. Lovely lovely place. Expensive, but worth it. I just picked them up a bit ago and they were tentative of course, but happy to see us. My Star I left here at the house, since she'd been a rescue kitty, I didn't think she'd get over being boarded. I was worried she'd think I abandoned here. She was VERY happy to see us! And it was lovely to sleep in my own bed with my fur hat :) A hat that purrs ;)

I vow to write in here daily again. I have missed it. I hope everyone had a warm and lovely holiday, that meant everything to them that each wished it to. Be good to each other. *mwah*

we now interrupt mom's voice...

..replacing it with something wierder and deeper than Darth Vader's!! C'mon now!! Although I hate this being sick stuff, at least I haven't had to cook or clean for 2 days. I think I'll keep my husband.

I'm on my way to the doctor's today ( I canNOT argue with both my husband and my mother). I'm frightened to think what would happen to me if they actually put their heads together about something!

I'm almost done Tinsel Tapestry number 2 for my mom. It went much faster this time! I'm going to take both of them to Marie at ABC Stitch to frame on Mon or Tues I think.

Y'all be good!

Oh the weather outside is frightful...

So where's my delightful fire???? Or even really warm blankies?? I'm cold.. I'm sick... and I'm tired. Then add I'm tired of being all three!!

The holiday season is full upon us. I've got all my boards cards mailed, now i need to move onto the family ones. For those I have to cut pictures of the alien girl child. Sometimes I do too much for little things. I even get pens that match my cards. I use stickers to seal the envelopes usually, but I don't have those yet.

However, my push to do these things is dimmed quite a bit by the fact that I'm sick. Fever, chills, headache, can't breathe (play the nyquil commercial in your head).. the whole 9 yards. I just want to go bury my head in a pillow untill it stops hurting. Days from now.

It snowed this morning. Double yuck. But I did get a giggle out of my eskimo child. She looks so cute all bundled up, and sometimes I wonder if she can even move. Thank the heavens for my lil girl. Without her, I'd be so miserable and lost sometimes. A smile is all it takes to make me smile, and her hugs and kisses are pure joy. *insert break for hugs and kisses* Man, how did she know I needed those so badly ?

I think I'll go tackle her and get some more!
