As I sit here at my computer, munching on salty popcorn and listening to James Taylor sing Santa Claus is Coming to Town, I am reminded that, he’s right. Old St. Nick will be schooching down our chimney in one week. Wow. And that reminds me that I need to get my butt in gear and get baking all the fattening goodies that you bet your sweet ass I will be consuming. Yup.
Let’s see, what’s new? Oh, my son, Phillip, the one who we have been traveling all over God’s creation with touring colleges, yea, he’s pretty psyched as he has heard from two of the colleges he applied to so far with acceptances so that is really cool. One in Connecticut and one in Massachusetts and we are one step closer to packing up son number three and saying adios hijo mio!

Our second grade daughter’s holiday concert is this Monday night. Always entertaining to watch the little tikes up on stage performing for their parents. She’s ready, been ready for the past two weeks. She’s picked out her glittery, velvet dress, tights, shiny shoes and red velvet headband and she has them out on display for all to see here at our home. Her Dad told her the other day that he better see her mouth moving and that he wants to hear her singing if he had to buy her a new glittery, velvet dress and shiny shoes. Good ol’ Dad. He’ll be the one zoom-in videotaping and tearing up the entire concert. Hey, that’s the way it goes.
Our two older sons will be coming home soon for Christmas. Really looking forward to us all being together. Then, yikes, it’s the hubby and I’s 25th anniversary and we’re shipping all the kids to Boston to stay with their oldest brother and his girlfriend….YAY!!!!! And we are off on a much needed vacation, just the two of us. 25 years….amazing.
OK, I’ve eaten this entire bowl of popcorn and James is sweetly singing Auld Lang Syne to me now, it’s time to go. I’ve got a date with a good book tonight ;)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! May your 2010 be the best yet!

Yes it has. And I had an awesome November. Finished my Christmas shopping (hot damn!), celebrated my son Nick’s 21st birthday (woo hoo Nacky!), and had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with my family (yum yum, some of my favorite foods!).

So now I am preparing for Christmas. House is decorated, tree is trimmed, cards are written and sent, wrapping is to be done, and all the holiday baking and eating. Now that, my friends, is and will be pure bliss. And then comes the dieting…
