I have been writing a post for two days that has left me feeling like I am covered in an oil slick of Internet grodiness. So, I am going to let it rest over the weekend and try to shake it off.
I can’t think of a better way to do that (besides snuggling with my wee butter dumpling of a baby) then talking you the people that make this place tick!
So…what’s up with you all?
Big news?
Little news?
Happy?
Sad?
Meh?
Hilarious story?
Tale of woe?
Blessings big and small?
ANYTHING?
I want to hear about you wonderful people who read and comment here and we’ll talk about it. I hope you’ll share with me!
So?
Spill it, yo!
I’ve got nothing except Dildo Helmets and misplaced rage at Dan Fogelberg. What can I say? Life is good. It’s been a rough year but we’ve come out the other side (the holidays ALWAYS do that for me) and looking forward to a much, MUCH better 2010. Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday, filled with LOTS of love.
I am sad the dude died but Fodelberg pissed me OFF when I saw him in concert. Bastard didn’t sing “Longer”. I KNOW, RIGHT?!!!
Still mad all these years later.
2009 sucked buckets.
Except we talked on the phone.
So therefore, it is officially rad. :P
On a more serious note…I work at a non profit special ed school. Thursday was our Christmas program. After the kids did all their singing, which was remarkable to begin with since all of them have some sort of speech or language delay, our special guest, Santa, made his entrance. Now this guy was big, very tall, and was going to be very engaging. He was a substitute Santa because our regular guy was not available. The sub Santa’s wife plays the piano for the program every year. He usually doesn’t come to the program. Well, as he was giving out the third child’s gift, he started having a heart attack, 911 was called and 4 or 5 men in the audience jumped up to help get him to the floor. My coworker began CPR immediately and saved this man’s life. The ambulance came and took him to the hospital. As far as I am told he is stable. I believe he was meant to be Santa that day because if he had stayed home like he usually does, his wife would have come home to a deceased spouse. So, everyone get CPR trained and do not hesitate to jump into action when something like this happens. Please pray for this man that he makes a good recovery.
Oh, MY. That sounds very scary and like a huge, HUGE blessing for that man’s family. I am so glad he was with someone that could help.
(And for the record, the proper timing of CPR is to the beat “Stayin’ Alive” by The Bee Gees. I know weird stuff.)
I received word today that he is awake and answering questions appropriately…so far so good. Yes I wondered if my coworker snag that song in her head. :)
After three years of moving just far enough away from all of my family, we’re moving back to my hometown in January. I will be all a twitterpated mess of gooey goodness for the next month while we get this packed and moved and boy will everyone want to throw up at how much “fun” I’m having moving with a toddler. Ha!
I LOATHE MOVING. Seriously, seriously loathe it. I like having my kids close to their grandparents but it’s tricky living so close some of the time.
I just had a baby on Nov. 22! She’s number 5!!! I know, women have babies every day. But it’s still a miracle to me. And, it doesn’t matter if it’s your first baby or your fifth, all the anxiousness and worries are the same… is she warm enough? Is that cough serious? Why is she crying like that? Having more kids doesn’t make you smarter… just a little bit crazier!
Congrats congrats on the baby! ALL babies are blessings, no matter the number. And I worry as much, if not more with my last as my first.
I am in my new house! My dad is here from Mexico. Brandon is home. I have all fifteen kids in the house, as of five minutes ago and I am overjoyed!!! Life doesn’t get better than this!!
I am so glad for you, babe. You deserve every happiness that comes your way. Hug everyone and SNUGGLE THAT BABY FOR ME.
I really miss you.
As I’m writing this, I’m sitting in Hawaii, on the deck of our hotel room. The sun has gone down, but it’s a gorgeous evening. It’s pretty freaking fantastic, and very much a huge blessing. I’ve been here since Thursday, and still have 10 more days left of vacation. It’s so much fun to hang out with my family, drink fruity drinks ALL day long, and do a whole lot of nothing. It’s perfection! Hope your holidays are perfect for you and your family!
I love white Christmases, but I have cop to being willing to KILL right now to be warm.
(You know how you don’t feel well and being freeing just amplifies the feeling?)
I am so glad you are in paradise with our family. It sounds like heaven.
Slowly driving my husband crazy. After being on maternity leave for 6 weeks, off for a week for Thanksgiving and now off work until January 4th. He is the stay at home dad and right now is going nuts with me at home. He likes the help and all but I mess up his routine at times.
We are still adjusting to having a 2 year old and 2 month old. The 2 year old just got his last tooth in and the 2 month old is starting to get her first.
Its been quite the adjustment but its been nice to have an infant around again.
I just found lip balm in my slipper. My lips are cracked, and I’m not picky.
