December 30th

Okay, I admit that I am the world's worst blogger. I don't know where the time goes but it just does. So here it is almost my favorite time of year when I get to make New Year's resolutions and weed out some junk in the house. I am actually looking forward to going to Staples today and buying my new planner. I don't know what it is about New Years but I tend to equate it to the first day of school. New notebooks, sharp pencils, etc. such fun!!! Actually it's more fun when you are no longer in school.

Just a recap of what has gone on since October.

Tom and I went to St. Mary's, GA and St. Simon's Island, GA for our vacation and had a wonderful time. The day before we left his 84 year old aunt fell at her home. She fractured her pelvic bone and has been in and out of the hospital and nursing home ever since. Yesterday she was transported back to the nursing home after a six day stay in the hospital.
Not a fun holiday season for her at all.
While we were on vacation we celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary at our favorite restaurant in St. Simon's. Delaney's is a very small restaurant with about 20 tables. The food is wonderful!!! I always eat way too much.

Thanksgiving was spent with my mother in law. My mom and sister went to Clearwater to spend the day with our friend Mary (she is the lady who sells us our Siamese kitties). Lucky me...I had the pleasure of having lunch with Missy, Bett, Andi, Sherry and of course Griffin!! What an adorable child!!! He has the most beautiful eyelashes I have her seen...I'm jealous!!

December was the most busy month of the year. We had something planned every weekend. It has been overwhelming to say the least. Tom and I bartended two parties, he took a trip to Connecticut to see the children, Jasmine got locked in the linen closet for 5 hours, we had a house full of folks on the 26th...Coco and Rajah were the hit of the party and decided they did not want to be isolated from the crowd...Jasmine didn't want any part of the party ( can't say I blame her), Tom's aunt and uncle from South Carolina arrived on Friday, we were scheduled to go to an after Christmas party last night but we were both snoozing in the living room at 6:30pm and decided we were not going to get dressed up and go out. Once that decision was made I promptly jumped into my flannel pants and fell asleep on the sofa. I had a wonderful evening!!!

I still have two more days to try and figure out how to get pictures on to my computer...we'll see if I can do it. Tomorrow night Tom and I are going to stay home with the "kids." We like to stay home on New Year's eve. Tom usually fixes an awesome dinner...the last blow out before the diets begin. I'll be thinking about my resolutions for 2008 and will try to post them tomorrow.

Have a wonderful day and do something fun....I think I might be like my cats today...lazy!!! All three are sound asleep on the bed, each on their own pillow. It's a wonderful life!
