Buh-bye 2010

Is that Baby New Year I see?  In about 21 minutes, it'll be 2011.  Wowza!

All I can say is

I am very glad there is only one more day to this week AND year.   This past week wasn't the best in a lot of ways.  I don't like to wish time away (bad karma, heeee!), but there are some days I am good & happy to see come to an end.

I'm into self-reflection these last few days.  Which doesn't leave a lot of time for blogging or housecleaning.  Is that one of the best rationalizations you've heard lately?  lol

Good night and most likely I will blog tomorrow in several segments to get the post count up just a tiny bit.  I want to do "Best of the Blog" recap--some of my favorite posts, pictures, stats, and other stuff.  I'll review last year's resolutions; not sure if I'll make any this year.

See you December 31, 2010

Vanity Fair

I got the issue of Vanity Fair with one of my two boyfriends.  This time, it was Johnny.  As in Depp.  *swoon*  I will most likely sleep with it under my pillow like a 14 year old.  :)

A few more

A few more cute ones I wanted to share--

 

Late with the photos

Here are some holiday photos.  On Christmas Eve, we made hot chocolate and I surprised the kids with whipped cream.  We rode around and looked at Christmas lights.  Then they opened their traditional present on the Eve, the new PJ's.  John Sam is so big and handsome, almost as tall as the tree.  Caroline was unhappy because she likes her bangs down in front and they weren't, resulting in more grouchy poses.  After Santa came, I took a picture of the tree while Tokyo supervised.  ;)  The last one is on Christmas morning, and it has that glow that I love.

 

Almost New Year's!  I'm ready for the cold to go away now. I'm so glad the kids don't have to go to school in the 30s--it's too hard.  Totally over it, as the kids would say.

The Tree of Christmas

I get tired of calling it a Christmas tree all the time.  ;-p

The kids decorated it Monday while I was at work.  The breakables had the snap-on clips already attached, so everything got hung with tender lovin' care and raw artistic flair.  Before we put the skirt on it tonight, John Sam vacuumed underneath and around the tree. I was getting the giggles watching him. Then I put the skirt around, he put some presents under, and Caroline put a few more down.  I didn't like the flash going off because I wanted the tree lights reflecting in the TV glass in the picture.  I covered the flash and it gives the pictures a red tint.  I like!

Repetitive Repetition

I've been realizing of late that I sometimes post stuff I've already posted--quotes, titles of posts, etc.  I have a lot to do otherwise, or I'd be searching and checking my previous posts to find the duplicates.  But it's on the to do list for 2011. 

Everyone is sick at work and those of us who've had it are afraid we're going to get it again.  *shudder*  More repetition?  Is there a pattern emerging here?  ;-D

I did manage to sneak in a little shopping today, now blogging, next is the heating pad in tandem with the Chritstmas cards.  I'm very late this season.  I seem to recall a similar post last year about that same topic . . . lmfao!

Here is the last corny statement I'll repeat:  I'm going to bed early tonight.  xo xo xo xo xo

P.S.

I'm blogging sans glasses, so forgive typos, missing words or extra words.  wheeeeeeee!

Like Mommy, Like Son

It would appear that while sleeping, John Sam has revealed his potential Indian name . . . Hot Heels Two.

For an explanation of our family shorthand, this is the original post Indian Names Blog Post

Going to bed as the cold is pissing me off.  Hugs only to prevent the spread of germs ;-0
