I apologize for taking so long to post!!!! Our computer is heavily filtered...perhaps too heavily...I have been blocked off of my blog for about two weeks. Probably all the porn and profanity I keep posting..LOL!!!

Anyway, it is good to be back. This will be a short post as I have millions of more pressing things to do.

I have hacked on my hair again. When I came home from church Sunday, I decided I hated my hair again. I, once again, put the scissors to it. Last time turned out well, so I was a little cocky. ( : Since it was about 10:30 at night, my children were not available to hold the mirror for me...this was not good. I was taking some cuts in the dark, so to speak, with the back of my head. It was a little misshapen and uneven. My hair forgives alot, but it was kind of bad. (Erik said his usual "It looks fine." I think he must practice that phrase about a million times a day since that is his reply to pert near everything!!) I am happy to report that although I was not up for going to the salon to get my hair evened out (because I was on a roll cleaning& doing the Christmas tree) - my good friend Libby (who was a stylist in another time in her life) stopped by to visit for a few minutes and was able to get me evened out..sort of. It feels better and I think it looks better, so just grin a little if it looks sort of choppy in places. It is, after all, only hair and it will grow.

We at last have our Christmas tree up and our house is decorated for the big day. This is a weight off of my shoulders..it was done on the twelfth which is about 12 days later than usual!! I was severely panicked and my girls had begun to think we would not have one. My shopping is also done so I can cruise through the next few days until the big day.

I participated in my first cookie exchange. I can now mark that off my list of things to do in this lifetime. I don't know if I will ever do it again, but it was kind of fun. We have alot of cookies, I am sure I will gain alot of weight as they are all quite yummy. I was hoping to pack some pounds on this Christmas anyway...I want to make sure I don't have to buy new clothes or anything. I like my old clothes...some of you have probably noticed. I am a comfort creature and new clothes are seldom comfortable. Especially nicer looking ones. I want to invent a line of dressy classy looking outfits that feel like pajamas. I think they would fly off the racks!! To dream the impossible dream. I think the reason PJ's are so comfy is because they don't define your shape or really touch you anywhere but the generous elastic waist. I am not sure you could look good in pants that made the same claim.

Well, I am off to the library to return our videos and encourage my little readers. Have a great Wednesday!
