Time flies!

OMG hard to believe the last time I posted was AUGUST!! I've been unbelivably busy and having no computer at home didn't help. Thank god for my Blackberry!! I don't know how I lived without that wonderful piece of technology.

My Christmas knitting is done. Photos as soon after Christmas as I can. I've been done. It's a first, I won't be knitting like a crazy women on Christmas eve!! We have most of our shopping done. We just have to get some gift cards, then stand in line to send off all of our boxes. It will be strange. This is the first time neither of my boys will be home on Christmas. I've always had one or the other. I don't have to cook either. Strange. I will make a turkey breast for lildude and my DH on Christmas eve but we are going to the Lodge for Christmas dinner. Lildude got a new outfit for his Christmas concert the other night so he has an outfit to wear. Not sure what DH and I will be wearing. Always a problem for me. I never know what to wear. I need someone to take me shopping and help me pick out clothes! It would help if I liked shopping for clothes but when you are a larger person it sucks. (to put it mildly) ANYway.... guess you know what my New Years resolution is .. same as half of American women, lose weight!!

I hope to enjoy the peace and quiet and have a great holiday knowing my boys are safe and happy. Enjoying the holiday with the people they love. Strange that I'm not upset. I'm happy for them. Something told me last year to enjoy them all being home. Next year they all hope to come home. The every other year thing is fine by me. Lildude is upset that there are very few presents under the tree. That will change over the weekend. I have more for him to wrap :) But our normal amount is greatly diminished by the packages having to be sent. Next year! We are Cubs fans we are well versed in that saying.

I wont be gone so long this time, promise.
