My beautiful long fingernails bit the dust.

I broke three within two days.

The rest had to go.

It also helped that I was trying to play some guitar tonight. Its really flippin’ hard to play guitar with long fingernails.

But I have faith that I can grow them again.

I’m on a mission.

(Yes, this is your Easter post. You’re supposed to be enjoying your day with your family… not reading blogs. GET.A.LIFE!)

(oh, I shouldn’t be posting today? I should be hanging out with my family? Shut up.)

They decided to re-gravel our road this week. Thank goodness. I nearly lost my car in a pot hole the other day. And, all that bouncing around is not fun for Tom when we go somewhere in the van.

I wonder why they don’t pave the road. I mean, I realise that paving the road would cost more, initially. But, having to re-gravel the road every other month can’t be saving them too much money in the long run.

I would understand the hesitation if this road was not well populated, or rarely traveled. But, I live in a neighborhood with 75 - 100 other houses.

I have yet to take down the Christmas tree. Tom’s on 100% bed rest for his wounds, which means I rarely leave the bedroom. Therefore, the tree is not screaming at me to pack it away. I really should get on that, though. By this rate, it’ll be March before I get it done.

Tom’s wounds are improving. They’re back to ‘before the holiday’ size. I think we’ve both decided (although not spoken out loud) that, if Tom’s able to stay sane, it would be better for him to stay in bed. We’re really tired of dealing with the stupid wound, and bed rest would help it heal so much faster.

Of course, I’ll definitely get Tom into his chair when he asks…

Its going to cost $150 to fix the lift on Tom’s van. I mean, at least its only $150. But, its $150 we didn’t budget for. We’re getting it fixed on Tuesday. Gotta love Discover card!!

Uhm, I guess that’s it.

Catchya later.

You know who you are!

LOOK WHAT I CAN DO!

I would like to take a moment here for my family.

So, instead of doing something all warm and squishy on my own, I’ve decided to direct you to two different sites.

Check out Angie and Vicki’s sites. (No links on purpose - ya know, all that private information and stuff n junk - its not my place to be handin’ out info like that without asking first.)

Family - if you don’t know the addresses, you can definitely email me for them …

(Vicki and family - I have an original copy of the video on Angie’s blog for you that I will be mailing as soon as I remember!)

Angie uploaded it to my YouTube. Here is the slideshow. Lemme know if there’s audio…

My Christmas gifts for my brother’s family in Canada are sitting at the store, waiting patiently to be picked up and start their travel northward.

Of course, they probably won’t arrive until the day after Christmas.

But, heck, who doesn’t like opening presents? Right? So, Christmas will be a couple days longer this year in Canada. No big deal there.

In fact, I’m fairly certain they’ll have a couple of extended Christmas days… (I wonder if my mother has sent anything that way yet.)

My cat, Noname (pronounced Nonahmi - for those who are new here), is a little upset with me.

See, I got all crazy motivated and wrapped all the Christmas presents.

Now he can’t do this anymore.

BTW - Have you voted for my new blog name? Go ahead. Vote again. Its alright.

I think I might have all our shopping done. Well, minus a couple tiny things…

The fun part of it all is that I have not stepped foot into a store to do any shopping. I do not miss the craziness of it, either.

I love Christmas because I really enjoy buying gifts for others.

Sometimes I’ll buy a present and be really excited about it at the time. Then, as the time comes closer to have the gift opened, I start wondering if I made the best choice.

It kind of drives me batty.
