-Life has been rather interesting as of late. I've had hurt come from highly unexpected places and encouragement hit me so hard it nearly knocked me off my feet. It was a case of being emotionally being hit so hard you end up lying on your back with the wind knocked out of you..... only to have an unexpected hand help you up.; a whirlwind of emotions. But I suppose that all's well that ends well.
-I'm thoroughly enjoying my first Christmas living at my new house. One of my trees is up (the other will have to wait until next year, for it goes in the unfinished library). It is lovely to walk in the door, flip the switch by front door and have the room light up with Christmas cheer :) My tree is all red and gold and I add just a few new ornaments each year. This year I added some big beautiful flower ornaments.
-I finally convinced my dad, my boss, to get a new computer for work. It is now here and set up and i'm unable to say how much easier this makes my life. No more opening up the billing software, then going to the bank while it opens. Things took forever... and when I say things, I mean EVERY thing. This one is amazing; not to mention adorable. Now if I can just save up enough to get one at my own house.. ha.
-I think that wedding come in waves, almost like the flu. Now don't get me wrong. I'm so happy for all of my married friends. And I love to celebrate in that happiness. But I'm about to hit another wave. I can feel the symptoms coming. Serious relationships, ring talk, engagements. I think somehow its related to my fridge. I'll fill it up with shower, bachelorette, lingerie and wedding invites.... Then almost immediately after I take them down I have another batch to go up. There have been 16 in 3 years. about 10-11 in 1 of those years. There are two more coming up soon... I will have a date to at least one of them. I had a date to two of the others but was blown off both times... how lovely. It isn't that I don't want them to have someone... it is just that I'd like to be with someone as well.
-I was able to do a little dancing Saturday night. It wasn't a ton of dancing, but still.... it was like coming up for a breath of fresh air. I had forgotten how much i enjoy it; how I'm unable to be anything but happy when I dance. I really need to get back into that again.... to find a place up here in Birmingham where I can dance. I'd love to find a partner and learn some Latin dances, but I'd also love to just go somewhere and dance with lots of different people. I even have a pair of truly awesome dancing shoes, some Aris Allen's I got on sale almost a year ago, that have NEVER been worn. That is almost sinful I'm pretty sure. Beautiful, unworn dancing shoes. How sad.
-I got a new cookbook for Christmas. It has some recipes that look amazing. I can't wait to dig into that and learn some new things.
I guess that is all for now, I'm at work and would love to go home.

I would love to go home too! I have a friend who is taking up dance and it sounds so fun Im just not brave enough yet. Since u r so organized please come finish my condo for me or at least do my office/scrapbooking room :)
ooo. That sounds truly awesome. I love organizing and I love office/craft supplies. I can't wait for my library to be finished just so I can organize the mass chaos that is currently existing in that room.
:) i wish i loved organizing and i wish i had about 1000 extra bucks layin around to help me with the desk and such :)
I left a post, but deleted it because it's late and my spelling is apparently a bit shady! ;) Anyway- your tree sounds fabulous and I am jealous of the light switch mechanism you've got going- LOVE IT! I agree with Filly- once you finish her place, could you lend your skills to mine?! ;)
