Christmas....full speed ahead....not sure what that means this year. We will be alone, and don;t plan to do very much.... our traditional Christmas eve noshes of Crab and Avocados and lots of champaign !!!
But the outside is decorated mostly ...still contemplating doing the roof line in the front of the house...that requires a trip to the store for gutter clips ..we'll see!
Inside.... I'll get to that tonight and tomorrow.....
The sewing is done.... I don't do much anymore....I never did well with little boy clothes, and only one little girl in my world....
cards....check...thanks to a kiddo on Respiratory ECMO.... many slow nights watching blood goes 'round....
so...calendar...Potica...and a new surprise.... heeheee.... we'll work on those later....
the man has me irritated.... his traditional sometime between "its time to get the christmas decorations down and its time to put the tree up" cold has hit him like a ton of bricks.... but now that the outside is done, all the boxes are down and the rest is well on its way to being done.... he is feeling better..... I see a full recover by the Twins birthday party Saturday.....I'm cruel .....
but in my defense... I have cooked him three meaks a day the past four days...nursed his ego and cold and only made a few snippy remarks loud enough for him to hear.
It took me a bit to get going myself ...into the Christmas Season.... because I've had my holiday this year. Having family here for Thanksgiving was WONDERFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we had the BEST TIME !!!! Ok..the food WAS fabulous for Turkey day..... everything was perfect.... falling off the bone Turkey, layered potatoes... Wine Weekend was fun...ten wineries..two days... four people.... loads of laughs ...lots of wine and even a great new sound.... check out Soul Vaccination.
It was a celebration weekend not to be forgotten !!!
the bad.... My friends...Jamie and Ross Ungerleider are leaving Portland. Ross is the Surgeon that I traveled with to Panama. That brought ECMO to OHSU. That brought Satir teachings into my life. They will be missed. Jamie is his dear wife who taught me a agreat deal about myself by being the great person she is.... They will be missed.
The not so ugly.... life...work is work.... there for me when I want extra.... thats a good thing in this economy and with my spending habits.... health.... the headaches are mostly imperceptable now.... I find them aggravating in the middle of whatever my sleep cycle is, but beyond that ....YEAH.... the promised weight loss.... well... we won;t discuss that.... if I only ate when I was hungry...truly hungry.... like most humans.... then yes, I am certain i would have lost more weight...but I eat for other reasons...boredom, nurturing...because it is there.... but I am trying to listen to my body better.... really I am....
so... Life.... it makes me smile ...most days
