I know that I haven't written in....could it be?...2 months. Sorry for that...it's not that the intent hasn't been there. There isn't a week that goes by that I don't think--"I've gotta blog about that!" But the fact is that the holidays aren't the happiest times for me. Yes, they are so much better now that I'm home. Being alone in a far away state for 10 years was so much worse than this. The fact is that my brain ...well, every year I put such hope in...a real reason to shop!...
But the gifts I buy that I think are perfect when I get them....I feel are all sorts of wrong the longer I look at them. Nothing seems good enough and they seem to last forever. I'm not feeling the "Christmas Spirit" even though I'm sort of being pushed towards it fairly quickly. Our team's Christmas meeting is tomorrow....the 9th....9th?! Really?! But I'll put on my smile and laugh....it's going to be the last Christmas together for the 07 Coyotes. Seems we are such a mess that we have brought the entire company to a standstill. Of course, it isn't our team that is putting a price increase in at a time when the country could really use a break.
On a lighter note, it looks like we are going to be adding another 4 legged member to our family. I knew that we would be getting another dog sooner or later. We haven't been more than a few months without one my entire life but Dad seemed to be pretty firm about "no more animals". Which left us with the cat from Hell, Mimi....how a cat can be so evil to everyone else but Mom, I'll never know.
So, I was hoping to get a new puppy for Christmas and it seems that Dad has finally caved. No yappity little tiny dogs--I am sooo not Paris Hilton--but I'm not looking for a dog as big as Scarlett was either. I was looking online and in the classifieds for dogs but dang! the prices these days. I know to some people, price is no object but I just can't see spending that much money for something like that. So, I think we are going to go the route that everyone should....the animal shelter. While I find it a bit depressing and want to take all of them home, I'm sure we will find what we are looking for...
My New Year's Resolution....to not spend every second talking about my puppy and what it can do and what it looks like...I refuse to fall into that trap.
On another note...Welcome back, Ruel...you were missed and I hope you are doing so much better!

Never too depressed to blog, look at me for God's sakes!! I think it's therapautic (I don't know if I spelled that wrong) and it helps you cope better when you see what you feel in written form, it somehow lifts your spirit so never stop blogging!!
And Happy Holidays to you and your dear ones!!
you can always get a dog from the pound, great prices and it's like the dog knows you saved their life.
