Another year gone by already. Wow – hard to believe.
This year my birthday was on a Sunday and I could take the entire day to relax and just putter around the house. Read the Sunday paper in the recliner and hubby brought me a fresh cup of coffee. That was a nice start to the day!
We went out to dinner at the Cracker Barrel. We could have gone to a fancier place, but I like the food at Cracker Barrel and they know us there, so we never have to wait long for a table. It was nice to have a home cooked tasting meal without me having to do the cooking and the clean up!
My son brought over a stack of new CDs for me. The best of the bunch is the new Eagle’s collection. I listened to a few of the songs this evening and really like the traditional Eagles sound. It was sweet of him to pick out the music for me – he knows how picky I am about music – I can’t hardly stand to listen to the radio anymore. Just some sports talk stations when I’m out driving in the afternoons.
Thanks to everyone who sent me cards and emails – they were really nice. I loved the Hoops and YoYo card from my little sister. That Hoops and YoYo cracks me up! If you aren’t up on Hoops and YoYo, cruise by the Hallmark website and see their free e-cards, their way cool stuff you can buy, and their blog at Hallmark.com.

The center pieces that I ordered from http://www.proplants.com/ were a bit hit at yesterday’s Christmas dinner. My mother is a very difficult person to please, she seems to always find something to find fault with each and every time I host an event at my house. Last year she was very unhappy with the decorative turkeys that I used for centerpieces at Thanksgiving, she didn’t like the fact that she had to look at a turkey butt during the whole meal! This year she was most pleased with my selection from ProPlants.

Hope you had a nice Christmas. We had a quiet day, with a few nice gifts and lots of good food. I appreciated the quiet part – I don’t really like a lot of noise and swarms of people. It is much nicer to have a few good people close by your side.

Thanks for the post from Barney Crosby
Moving her to Tennessee was the best thing I ever did and it’s mostly just because I love this house. Being a stay at home mom was never in the cards for me since I’m also a single mom so having a home that my daughter can grow up in even if it is with a nanny makes me feel good at the end of the day. I’ve got her a great little room with a nice set of windows (painted pink, of course) and I even looked into ADT security TN for her feeling of safety and for mine. I love being the mom but sometimes it’s a lot of responsibility wondering if she’s doing well and adjusting okay and I also feel guilty at times about working so much but I know that everything I do is to make her life and mine better at the end of the day. I hope she appreciates that but I’m pretty sure she does. Who could blame me for making a better life for us?

Just can’t get in the mood for Christmas shopping, but I realize that we are just 5 days away from Santa’s descent down my chimney. So I had better get busy. There are several people out of town that I won’t get to see in person this year, so I’m plucking a variety of giftcards from the kiosk at Kroger and sending out lots of cards this year. They today is the deadline to get things mailed using regular Post Office mail, so I’m heading out early and getting as much done today as I can do.
