It's been close to a year, but I'm still here
I peek in every once in a while, but my fingers have nothing to say

my mom's dead
but life goes on...

obla de obla da

kisses to those who want them

I don't know if I'm more optimistic or scared about 2009.
Either way, it's here.

I wish you a year full of ...
Love and Light
Happiness and Health
Wealth and Prosperity

Birthday and/or Christmas/Chanukah and/or just Because You Love Me List

1. A reliable car with HEAT
the heat in my car is barely functioning
it's been a very cold winter and
when it snows or rains the windows fog and
it's difficult to see and dangerous to drive

2. My front tooth either implanted or a bridge
when I had the last back surgery, they knocked my front tooth out
and I've been using a temporary "flipper" ever since. I have to take
it out when I eat and it is always uncomfortable and sometimes
makes me lisp. I HATE it.

3. Girlchild to be able to study abroad next year
she has been accepted into a special international marketing
program, but we can't afford to send her.
It breaks my heart.

4. Boychilds baseball tuition
We'll struggle thru with this 3000 because it gets paid a little
at a time, but I would be able to sleep so much
better if I didn't have to worry about it

6. A GPS
I used to be great with directions, but constantly getting lost
is another part of the "New Me"

Birfday's coming....I'm soon to make the huge leap to the other side of the 50's

I wonder who people see when they look at me?
I see one me in the mirror and yet another totally different me in photos
And the me inside is completely different than those visual me's
So which of those "Me's" comes thru to John Q Public?

Yesterday, at Starbucks, a late teenish couple of girls complimented me on my coat, then my purse, then said..."actually, we love your whole look....the shirt, the shoes....you really look great". It's amazing how that lifted my spirits, that a coupla young strangers liked the clothes I chose. Boychild was with me and sorta looked me up and down like he was trying to figure out what they were talking about, but he didn't say anything...

So okay, yesterday I had a good clothes day...that outfit is a keeper.

I'm feeling kinda yucky oogy today
everyone around me is sick so I shouldn't be surprised

boychild has a flu/bug thingie, so he's been at work with me the past few days
sadly, mom feels she has to compete and be "sicker" than him
inphuckin'credible

it snowed yesterday...not much but it stuck to the cars and grass
it wasn't a pretty snow, but rather a rainy, cold, get into your bones sorta snow
no wonder everyone is sick

I'm busy in my life again.
Busy with the theater....(a bit part in "it's a wonderful life")
Busy with a class...( a water aerobics class that I surprisingly love)
Busy running boychild around....(just being a mom)
I like being busy....the normal me is a busy one.

but tonight is open....I am going home to a crock pot roast dinner
and then DH is gonna make a fire in the wood burner and I am
gonna put on my jammies and just veg

because the absolute best part of my normal busy life
is the rare night when I have nothing to do but be with my family
