it feels like eons since I've been on dA..and I think it has been...

The Highs:
The puppy count down is on...yeah yeah I know I won't be getting her until probably March/April of next year...but you can never be too prepared! I wanted to name her Annie but the man wants to wait and see (I'm not sure for what - maybe the second coming of Christ) so in the realm of being flexible, compromising and just plain sneaky cos' I figure if I let the man name her...the little beggar will worm her way into his heart and life will be good

The SA trip count down is almost here MFG: I can't believe the months have flown by...and soon we will be flying out We both could use a little R&R along with mega doses of sunshine!!!!!

The CD is coming along wonderfully well! The man has all the tracks down, the bass player, accordion and mandolin player have done their bit and hopefully in the next couple of weeks the lap-steel and the backup singers babes (aka me and Andrea) will be going in the studio to do our bit...

Just got my fingers slapped by my new boss...hahahahahahaha...cos' I typed before I thought (does this surprise anyone ) but that's okay...a colleague was whining because people forgot to add a few things in a file and said it was time consuming to look it up...although the whiner took the time to type out 25 names who were missing the information and what exactly they were missing....ummmm....so my response was...well why don't you look it up instead of wasting time typing about it...*sigh* no one appreciates my directness...but my motto is "BITE ME"

The Lows:
I've had a cold like forever..and it's starting to piss me off! Aaaand now I'm starting to wonder because Duckie (the sweet man that he is) is thinking it's more than just that....Shit! maybe I better go back to the doctors Anyway I'm sure I will be getting over this round soon...I think I'm getting all my sickness over and done with before I go on my trip.
Being the nice sharing caring wife that I am...I shared my cold with the man as well! Ah! the family who coughs together - stays together

We had word from the nursing home. They don't think my mom will be with us for much longer. As much as I want her suffering to be over...and to be honest mine and my families too...I am having a difficult time with this. We will just have to wait and see what happens.

I haven't been taking any photos and this is quite depressing in itself The man is thinking about taking up painting again so we did go out just after Thanksgiving to take some shots of Churches...I'm hoping this inspires me again!

anyway...I think I've typed enough to make everyone's eyes bleed and make up for the lack of presence here on dA...

I'M BAAAACKKKK
