December December 2005 December

Week One  |  Week Two  |  Week Three  |  Week Four
Week One:
My Mom and Lisa sent me a couple of  pictures of the family this past week. This first one is of my middle brother, Donny, his wife Angie, and my two nieces, Kayla and Allison. The girls have really grown up some since the last time I saw them in person (last Christmas)

And speaking of growing up, here's Jonathan showing off his new braces.



While we had a couple of nice days left (they are predicting a lot of cold and snow later in the week). I got outside and put up some lights for the Christmas Holiday. MouseOver each of these pictures for a look at my lights.


Week Two:
You would think that it was already January up here in Ohio, with as cold as it's been lately. The temps have been in the teens and, ever since Thanksgiving, we've been having sn*w off and on. This is what we woke up to the other morning. :O Surprised!
Gabby loves playing in the snow.
Out back,
at night,
in the snow,
on the webcam
The saddest sight though is this one, of the pool covered in snow. I like the pool a whole lot better when it's filled with sparkling clear water and a lot of toys and floats! clapping

mIkIE bundles up to handle the cold weather (and he doesn't think too much of the cold either. :)) LOL Laughing Out Loud)

Poor Jim! :( sad He's had a crisis and had to go the the ER. The doctors told him that the lump on his neck isn't cancer but the salivatory glands are blocked and infected! Ouch!

Jim and I finally got around to putting up a Christmas tree at my house (after we got out of the ER). Click on this picture to visit my holiday pages to see what's so interesting about my tree this year. :)) ROFL rolling on the floor laughing

Even the dogz got into the Christmas spirit.
Well, not really. LOL But we did put on the holiday antlers for a few laughs. :)) LOL Laughing Out Loud
Neither Aries not Gabby were really thrilled with the festive hat. LOL
Hmmm. Zeus didn't mind the antlers too much; but Gabby sure did. Between this second and third picture below, Gabby was very upset with Zeus and a small fight erupted. :-OX-( angry They stopped when I reminded them that Santa was watching and making his list. ;) wink, wink
My poor funny honey. Jim's got horns and a lump in this picture.
Gabby didn't have a problem with Joxer wearing the antlers though.
Since Gabby was in everyone's face (or maybe I should say "snout"), she hung around Jim too long and got to model the Santa cap too. :)) ROFL rolling on the floor laughing


DO got an early Christmas present from her landlord - new carpet for the living room and dining room! :D VBG very big grin Since it was being installed early in the morning, several of us went up there the night before and moved all the furniture out of those rooms and stacked it all into the puzzle room.
We left poor DO and Cliff sitting at a card table in their empty living room. However, by the time I returned the next night, the furniture was back in the place, the carpet was on the floor and DO had gotten her Christmas tree up in time and decorated!

It's that time of the year again, so guess what we're doing in this picture. ;) wink, wink
If you can't guess, then click the picture (for more pictures on the holiday page) and you'll find out. ;) wink, wink

Week Three:
After icing cookies all weekend, I returned to my house as a little more sn*w started falling.
MouseOver
to see my fountain in the winter


Oh, I should probably mention that, along with doing more Christmas cookies at DO's this past weekend, that Jim and I had another reason for having a great weekend -
it's our one year anniversary! :D VBG very big grin:X LOVE
It doesn't hardly seem like it has been a year since I was in NC with Jim, and finally realized that it was time to live a little bit and enjoy the love that I have with Jim. Some days I still miss Randy terribly; but my life hasn't stopped. I've been very blessed to have had the love of two great guys.  Jim is such a good guy and so very good to me! Some time this week, we're planning on going to our favorite restaurant (Outback), and celebrating our first year together.


Week Four:
My mom doesn't know this yet (but she will as soon as I get the update email sent out ;) wink, wink); but her gift to me this year was getting me back onto the internet. :D VBG very big grin Actually Mom sent me a check and I had enough in my account to cash the check (since her check is a SC check and that's an out-of-state check, it has to sit in the bank for 10 days - along with the check my GrandMother sent), and I called RoadRunner and wonder-of-wonders, they had an opening on Christmas Eve afternoon to get my cable back on.

I hope that you all enjoy your Christmas and I wish you the
very best and happiest New Year!
As you can see from the calendar to the left, I've already added links for 2006. I'll be here with more fun times, wild stories, more projects, pictures of my dogz and my friends. I hope that you'll be here too to enjoy the good (and bad) times with me.
