Feliz Navidad!

There is so much going on this season. It never seems to slow down. But for the first time ever, I have the tree up, the presents all wrapped (I'm usually wrapping Christmas Eve), and I'm kind of enjoying myself. My classes are all finished. I don't have the final word, but I think I got all A's. Woo Hoo! No classes now until mid-January, so I'm hoping to catch up on my blogging efforts.
My birthday was great. I had Guards that weekend, but made it home in time for a great supper and cake, planned and created by Kianna and Katlin - sweeties! Katlin made a beautiful cake. The girls gave me jewelry. The planned a great supper and even did the shopping, which is probably why I got food poisoning. I'm not even kidding. Apparently, the potato salad was outdated, as I was sick on the floor half the night in the bathroom. That's what I'm blaming it on anyway. (We found the outdated label in the trash.) Barry was kind enough to bring me a blanket. But the kindest thoughts were there, and I feel loved in spite of their attempts to kill me off. j/j...
The girls are finished with basketball season. They had a lot of fun and did very well. I only made it to 7 games total. School does keep a person busy. I think they are looking forward to a break, too. I actually even got Christmas cards out this year. Okay, I only mailed them today, but at least I'm trying.
Barry is working like a dog at the sign shop with my nephew. I showed up and offered to help, but they said they had it under control. So here I am. I'm getting ready to go upstairs and move the girls' bedrooms around. Should be fun. I always love moving furniture and deep cleaning. You never know what you might find...
So, I hope you are all having a great holiday season! Take care, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! Hope it's all great!

Nothing to talk about, really

I've been an absolute bore lately, and I still feel like I have nothing exciting to say. School has been good, but it will be good to have it over in 2 more weeks. I've had to miss so many of the girls' basketball games, and I will have to miss their Christmas concerts. :( I'll have to send the video camera with Barry, though. I'm so looking forward to Christmas vacation! I even plan to send out cards this year, though I haven't quite managed to start decorating yet. Totally need to get busy with that. And shopping. And exercise... Oh! On a fun note, my birthday is in a week! I love birthdays! Especially my own!
Katlin's drums and bells are coming along quite well, and I think she's a little excited and nervous about her parts in this concert. Kianna will be playing saxophone for hers, but she's still working on her bass guitar out of school and sounding great! I think she's planning on playing that for jazz band, soon!
Well, Katlin is hounding me to get off the computer so she can update the music on her ipod. Apparently she's bored with what's there.
