Ok... so it's actually after Christmas now! BUT we DO hope that you had a great Christmas this year! ::big grin:: We had a very nice Christmas.
We celebrated with "Charlie Brown's" family last Saturday. After a meal, stockings & presents, we all relaxed and had some great laughs over stories from the brothers' growing up years. Oldest brother-in-law has topped the historical stories with his lacerated tongue via deadly sharp Dorito! Seriously! The man ended up in the ER two years ago and he will NEVER, EVER live it down! This year, we decided that Frito-Lay should print the "Joe-clause" on all bags of Doritos. "Warning! Contents in bag may be sharp and have the potential to cause injury. Eat with caution!" I swear this story provides a great abdominal workout from the laughter!
We also celebrated Christmas at my parent's house on Christmas day. We had a very relaxing time together. The girls were most excited to get to wear their pajamas to Gram & GDude's house. The day was complete with good food & great fun! Everyone has their own Nintendo DS lite and we had a blast playing DS games! Um... Brain Age 2... that's addictive! There's a "relaxing" exercise called Virus Buster! Hahaha It's a bit like Tetris and is oh, so addictive! GDude holds the current high score record among us all. But look out GDude! I'm on your tail tonight (1152 pts).
We're still in the midst of the Christmas- New Year break. We've done a lot of NOTHING. We've also accomplished a few small projects-- but they were truly small. Although my good man Charlie Brown did install light fixtures upstairs, repaired a bad circuit breaker, and repaired a "blown-out" electrical outlet. He IS a "good man Charlie Brown", after all! And he and I did spend a while outside in the C-O-L-D repairing some fencing damage too! (That's good fodder for another blog post soon ::wink::) So we haven't been completely lazy- just mostly!
2007 has been full of adventure- or maybe it would be better to say "exercises in character development". Either way, we're glad it's over but step cautiously into 2008. In 2008 we will be working on going debt-free! (Currently reading Dave Ramsey's book "Total Money Makeover"-- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READING FOR ALL!) It won't be easy. I told "Charlie Brown" yesterday that we must continue to trust the Lord to provide. That doesn't mean God will make it easy for us. It may mean He provides what we need "to-the-penny". But we can trust Him. He IS Faithful!
For those of you who enjoy the occasional ramblings from our world, or who are simply curious and maybe even "nosy" (hehehe), you now know where you can peek. Please DO post freely in the "comments". It's more fun when this isn't just a one-way stream. Still, feel free to Nibby Nose here.
Have a GREAT New Year! Stay safe!
Lots of Love,
Watching Woman
