Ok, I know it's been forever. Sorry. I was working two jobs from home, stressed, taking care of the kiddos, and preparing for the holidays. But I am back. I suppose most of the time I was working was when I was writing for other people, so that sort of burned me out on writing for myself.
Anyway... I thought I would post a bit about life. Things are going pretty well. My temporary job writing for Santasornamentshop.com is over. I wrote about hundreds of Christmas ornaments from September until the second week in December. I also wrote a few Christmas-themed blogs for them. I nearly burned out on Christmas itself!
But leave it to the kids to help me embrace Christmas. They have lists, oh my. Bakugan, Strawberry Shortcake, Zhu Zhu Pets. I spent several hours on two separate occasions waiting in the cold outside ToysRUs to purchase a Zhu Zhu Pet hamster. I finally have two--one for each of them, so no fighting. We've also been to see Santa twice this year. So cute that Lola will finally sit in Santa's lap. She's become quite curious about him, but still won't sit and smile for the camera. She did blurt out to him that she wants a "trawberry chortcake" for Christmas (yes, this is her pronunciation).
I haven't had much time to decide on what I want for Christmas, though. So I decided to sit and make a bit of a list. Yes... it's materialistic. Of course, I want world peace, great health and decent wages for my family, and a load of wonderful close friends to keep me company. Or I would settle for:
2. Cute, yet comfortable shoes.
3. A cute cardigan.
4. Some sweet smelling stuff.
5. A warm, colorful scarf.
6. Betseyville shoes (for spring or summer!)
7. More Betseyville!
