Good morning my wonderful friends!! Happy New Year!
I apologize in advance for being scarce around here. This time of year is really really hard for me. My dear Momma passed 8 years ago yesterday. I can always put myself where I was and what I was doing. Kind of puts me in a funk for awhile. Sorry.
Ellen- Please do not ever feel that you need to apologize to us, life happens and we are all experienced with that funk. I Know that most of us feel the loss of a parent during the year and there is no easy way to shrug it off. I gave up trying to because I think that there are times when it is okay to give in to missing my mom.
I will share with you Marisa's way and most of the time I use it. She told me she never misses Memere because she talks to her every day. I do too but there are times when I just want her here.
Anyway- I am glad you had fun with your boys!
PIO - Great pics as usual. Thanks for sharing!
Kat- I sure agree that this year needs to be a good one! I think we all could use a respite from teh gloomy year that just passed. Don't work too hard!
What kind od surgery are you looking at? My Mom had surgery on her thumb, she had trigger finger or something ike that. It was indeed a 6 week recovery.
I'm hoping that 2013 treats all of us much better! Looking forward to more positive thinking from myself, as well. That's one of my resolutions. I hate that I spent most of last year in a funk, and I'm determined not to go there again, this year!
.
Lets make a pact! I also spent a great deal of time in my own personal pity party and it really was not pretty
No more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello peoples. The holidays were okay, had a horrible toothache Christmas Eve and Day. Went to the dentist who is sending me to the endodontist. She said everything on the outside looks okay but is sending me to the endodontist to check on the inside. She said it could be cracked which does not always show up on an x-ray.

Oh dear!
Robin- I had something to say but forgot
bigmerel, sorry to hear you had a tooth ache on xmas eve, I hope your out of pain now. I go through the same routine every Aug. I never get use to it. I have to go to the dentist this month for a tooth implant, very expensive but it beats not having a tooth.
Welcome Red!
Well I got most of my decorations down. I still have a lot of work left, all the linens are still on the beds and on the dressers so that needs to wait until Monday, I am working tomorrow.
I need to get my house spotless as we are entertaining Buddy's boss and his wife on Saturday. They are lovely people and always treat us like royalty so I have to figure out a good meal and some nice cocktails. Erica is knitting some gorgeous scarfs for me to give as gifts. I think she is posting them on FB, they are spectacular!
Buddy has turned into Tim the Toolman
I have been annoyed with him during layoff before so this year he is fixing things that have gone undone for way too long!
Oh well, back to my glass of wine and then a hot bubble bath. Dinner is whatever we pull out of the fridge, every bone in my body hurts so no cooking for me!
, Monday to the endodontist, Tuesday for a mammo, Thursday to have another tooth finished and Friday for blood work. That's one way to start the year off. 
How are y'all doing? We really need to try and meet again, for a bit longer this time!
If not, the "cast" won't be as bad as I originally thought. I'll have use of the other four fingers, just not the thumb.
