An Update? No kidding?

I like to talk.

A lot. Sometimes I even say things people want to hear. But most times, I think, I ramble. Why do I do this? Hell if I know but I do. Knowing this, will I change, will I stop talking so much? Or did I just attempt to make myself feel

better by admitting I am a pain? Hmmm...a thought for another time but for now: an update.

We went to Idaho for Christmas, my sister lives there and EVERYONE in the family was going so, why not? It was fun and it was stress but at least the kids got a dog. Yes. I was drawn to the darn thing from the moment I saw him. Yeah, like I needed one more thing that poops in the house. But I did it...and I got him. Now...I'm gonna eat him. OK, so I am not gonna eat him, but it sounded good and he is a handful but beautiful so we'll just nibble away at the stubborn streak until he knows who the Big Dog is. He's doing better with the children and that's why I picked a Boxer.

After Christmas, we stayed in Utah for 7 weeks or so while the snow fell. It was a clean beginning to a new year. The snow blankets the dullness and brings a quiet that only 14 inches of it can absorb. It reenergized me and I re-modeled the downstairs bathroom. Sigh. It looks good though. And my chidren, for the first time in their lives were well enough to play in the snow!

We usually share the flu or some forsaken cold while in Utah but not this year. Well, we did but it wasn't bad enough to stop us! It was truly fantastic. We built our first ever snowman (which may still be somewhat standing) and Taylor got her hands sufficiently cold enough to know that she really should wear the bulky waterproof ones next time.

We played with Papa and Nana until Taylor told us it was time to go home and we packed up the Cruiser, once we dug it out, and came home to all that was left behind. And cleaned it.

  2. I will try. It's seem that I spend all my time on the computer but not in the right places :).
