I thought I would post a little more today, I never did post what happened on Christmas day at Moms and Dads. When we got there in late afternoon I heard a LARGE dog barking very hard. Mom surprised all of us with her Christmas present from Dad which was a new Dog. Mom had been wanting a new dog for awhile and they rescued one from a Irish Setter Rescue place. The dogs name is Clifford, and he is ADORABLE. He is a little "Skittish" around male humans but warms up to females very easily. He is 14 months old and he is ad big as he is going to get...He is on the small side for a setter. Mom loves him to death EXCEPT....a few days after they got him Mom went to take him for a walk and Clifford lurched off 3 stairs and Mom went flying off with him. Mom landed right on her knees almost in a prayer position. She landed so hard on them that she broke the back of her leg. The hospital said that they did not have to cast it but the "Tibula"? is snapped in half. They are hoping it will mend on its own....but if it does not mend and it might not cuz in guess in old people bones do not mend as they should sometime....she might be required to have surgery. I sure hope not...
Well that's all the new "news" I have. PEACE TO ALL

Love lost, love found
ever circling, going round
reaching out, and holding back
afraid of love, and what I lack.

I wrote that poem a few years ago and it still holds true today. It seems that whenever I loose someone that "loves" me I find another, but they in turn also leave. I wonder what it is about me the brings this about. Where is the one person for me? I would love to share my life with someone.

It feels like I have not had any time off in ages. I am up again this morning even though I had requested today off to go to work. I do not have any time off now untill Friday. My body feels like it is dragging. YAWN I need to go back to bed.

Merry Christmas. I have said that a lot the past few weeks. I know that there is a trend out there in retail to say "Happy Holidays" but I did not, and never will fall into that trap. The meaning of Christmas is to celebrate and remember that God sent his son to save us all. A little boy was born in the dark and cold of the night to bring us all the eternal light. What a wonderful gift. We should all be thanking God that he loves us so much instead of wishing people "Happy Holiday" because we don't want to offend anyone. You know I do not know if I offended anyone by say Merry Christmas, I way I sort of wish I did maybe it got them thinking about what the true meaning of Christmas is.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Well, it finally looks like things are coming to a head with the reason why the diamonds earrings are missing. I am 99.9% sure what happened to them and now I have the proper people looking into the incident.

Just a few more days till Christmas :) I will be very busy untill that point. More later.

Had a nice day off yesterday. Spent it with the kids. We took them to see Santa again. Then came home and made some christmas tree ornaments. The next couple of days are going to be really hetic for me. I have to be at work at 5 am both Friday and Saturday.

Feeling a bit better this morning. I slept good, and allowed myself to sleep in. I think I figured out a solution to some of my problems. We shall see.

Have you ever felt that the life you once had seems to be slipping away and you cannot get a grasp on anything? I have felt that way lately. Everything I once found to bring me some joy now only brings me sorrow. My life seems to be heading in a direction that I do not want it to go and I can't seem to do anything about it. The only 2 things that really seem to keep me going lately are of course The "kids" and my love of music. It seems in music it is the only place I can escape to where things make sense and I am at peace. I am sick and tired of being sick. I it seems sometimes that I would be so better off not being here. Maybe I just have a really good case of the holiday blues....YA THINK!

Practice went late last night. Anna asked me to say after so I could cantor for Christmas. Now all I have to remember is that the word is EX SELL SEES rofl..... I have a hard time singing that word.

I am so happy that today is friday. Tommorrow I am taking Matthew and Emily out to go Christmas shopping for Mike and Mer. Matthew is even going to the bank to make sure he uses all his own money. We should a have a fun time :)

A bit perplexed this morning. Last night at class we did not get our normal Christmas card from the Church. A few of the other teachers asked me if I got mine and I of course said no. Its not a lot of money we recieve but it comes in handy this time of year.

We went to Matthews Christmas concert last night. Boy was he ever CUTE. He sang at the top of his little lungs and loved every moment of it. I was such a proud Auntie. Tonight both Matthew and Emily will be going with me to class to help pass out the Christmas gifts I have bought the the kids in the class. This should be a lot of fun.

Yesterday was I day I care not to re-live. There are Diamonds missing from the department and no one really seems to care about that but me. Things are not getting done the way that they should and it makes the whole department look crappy. I am only 1 person and can only do so much. ARG!

Last nights concert BLEW ME AWAY! We went and saw the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and was totally amazed. From the awesome music to the fabulous light show. Everything was great. This week again is going to fly by at work. Getting busier and busier the closer we get to Christmas.

Saturday 1 yr 134

Work was fairly busy yesterday. I had Connie working with me in the afternoon. As much as she and I did not "click" when she first started working in Jewlery I am very happy to have her now. She actully takes the time and helps customers, and then asks what need to be done. I love that kind of work ethic. Not like some of the people working for me now. Speaking of work, yes I am up early this morning to work another Saturday. This will be my last one until Christmas eve.

Snowed a lot here last night. The news said it some areas it was over 10 inches. I so dislike the snow. YUCK! I like the first falling of it of the season but after that I want it to MELT! I do not like the cold temps. I guess I should be living in someplace tropical.
I did sleep in this morning. I did not get home till pretty late last night. Tonight I hope to go to bed at least a little earlier as I have to work in tomorrow morning.

Class went very well last night. I had the kids make Christmas cards for people at Crestview nursing home. They all earned 1 service hour for doing so, but more than that I think some of the kids took it to heart that there are less fourtunate people that might not be able to go anywhere this Christmas or might not get any visitors.

Went 5 miles this morning. I wanted to sleep in more but alas I know I need to exercise more. Yesterday at work was sort of a laugh. There was a lot of work that could of been done on Monday but since I was not there they did not do it....So when I came in there was a LOT of things waiting for me. Then had a broadcast meeting which backed my day up even further. On the way home I noticed that my back tire appeared to be a little low so I bought it in to have air put it in and they found a nail in my tire. UGH

YAWN....Very tired this morning. Had yesterday off so I spent it running errands and getting my place ready for Christmas. I do enjoy having a Monday off once in awhile but I do not like working Saturdays.

Very cold and snowy yesterday and it looks like we are going to be having more of the same today. I am so ready for spring to be here and its not even the first day of winter yet. Oh well

Marilyn and I went and saw the movie Rent this afternoon. She was hoping that she was going to like it better than when she saw the musical. Apparently the musical upset her stomach enough she she thought she was going to vomit. I on the other hand knew the musical and loved it. Marilyn has a problem with the lifestyles that are portrayed in the movie/musical....I on the other hand although I do not condone that kind of lifestyle I could see the good in the movie....I mean to have those kinds of friends who will stand beside you know matter what....Man if only I could get as lucky as that. I guess this movie hits really close to home for the both of us as our older brother is gay and will probably die from aids. The song from the movie entitled "will I" sort of reminds me how to treat other people who might be different that me...Not just those who are dying of aids but even others who seem to be losing their dignity.....I also love the song "Season of Love" that song has a lot of powerful emotion behind it.

Up and awake!!!! Took my car in to get fixed yesterday and was very suprised to see that it only cost 44 dollars. I was expecting ALOT more. Now I just have to get it tagged and take care of the repair ticket and I am set :P

Up and awake this morning. I did not eat any dinner last night as I was just too upset. I did sleep reasonably well. I think I am going to bring my car to Vos glass today after work to get some sort of estimate. YUCK
