Noel
A little treat.
My son’s annual school holiday show is still a “Christmas” show due to the fact he attends a parochial school. So instead of hearing “Jingle Bells” for the upteenth time, I give you this…
Excuse the camera jumpiness… recorded it on my Flip (not great for long distance shooting, but the sound is good). 🙂
Christmas Wrap
I can’t let the year finish without the obligatory Post-Christmas post. I guess I am off my game this year, because I really don’t have many pictures. Damn! I was busy taking some video, and left the picture taking to S., and well… that didn’t work out so great.
Truth be told, it’s no secret that I’ve had a Nikon camera on my wish list for years now, and thanks to “the-expenses-I-care-not-to-talk-about” it’s hard to justify buying it. Just me and my crappy camera for now.
We did have a nice holiday. All the snow melted from earlier in the week thanks to a drenching downpour Christmas Day, which gives a good excuse to DO NOTHING. I spent the entire weekend in the house with David and husband, building Legos, and playing video games. I am now a resident expert of Lego Rock Band for Nintendo DS. Yes I AM. And proud of it.
This week, while I’ve been working like a crazed lunatic, S. and David have been having fun. Lots of fun. Not that I am missing it all (well, I sort of am) but I am a wee bit jealous.
While I am hip-deep in my financial reporting and firedrills for work, they have been embracing some serious 1×1 male bonding time. And for the first time in recorded history, they are grocery shopping for me. ALONE. God help me.
As New Years Eve looms tomorrow, I had thought about posting my annual why the year sucked bad post. But that’s getting repetitve.
I’ve got a lot of bitching to do but not in the mood to do it.
In fact, I have a lot of emotions to share with you all, but I don’t want to pay it lip-service. For now, I am enjoying having my boys (the big and little one) home with me.
I just can’t drag myself into that dark place right now. Next week, when work calms down, I have a few items on my to-do list.
This year will be the year of healing.
