Happy New Year!


Item 1: Happy New Year!  Best of luck in 2009.  I hope all your wishes and dreams come true.  I watched a few minutes of the ball dropping in NYC and all I can say is a feel really bad for Dick Clark.  More power to him for still doing the New Year's Eve thing, but he is in bad shape.



Item 2: Does anyone out there in blogger land who reads this know the location of my Coldplay "Viva la Vida" album or my John Mayer "Continuum" album? Did I lend them to you?  That's fine, but I can't find them and would like to know their whereabouts.  Any information about these missing items would be much appreciated.

  



Item 3:  James got his final grades from his first semester of nursing school at the U.  He earned a 3.85 and made the Dean's List!  Way to go!

Happy Birthday Baby Brudder!





Remember that time we went to the zoo?  It was just me and you?  You were little and still a little shaky using the bathroom.  It was winter.  You had to go.  We found one quick.  Everything was going fine until you threw my favorite bob-the-dog-brown-mittens in the toilet.  I fished them out and threw them in the garbage.  I still love you, though!!

I can't believe you are 14.  I was 14 when you were born.  Weird, huh?  If mom and dad call a family meeting when you are 14, you're welcome to come live with me.  

Have a great #14!!!

And p.s. . . . . just because you THINK you're taller than me doesn't mean I can't take you!  Ha!  

And p.p.s . . . just because I dropped a bottle of lotion on your head when you were a day old and ran your head into the wall on your blessing day, doesn't mean that you will have lifelong brain damage.  I promise.  It will go away eventually.

The neglected green room.

Our green room is the most used, yet most neglected room in our house. It serves many purposes, including office, tv room, movie theater, extra bedroom, library, closet, utility room, etc. One of my Christmas break projects was to clean it up and reorganize.  Here are some before and after pictures:
