wrinkles
Just an fyi to everyone - if you have a pair of pants that are wrinkled and when you put them on the wrinkles disappear, you probably shouldn't wear them.

hibernation
I am considering imitating a bear (no comments from the peanut gallery) so that I can hibernate all winter long. How wonderful would it be to sleep all of the time? I could handle it. I feel as though I have hibernated this winter by abandoning the blog updates. A lot has happened since the Greenville Christmas Parade of 2008.
The big news is the latest family addition of Miss LuLu Bean. She is a boxer/lab mix and full of abounding energy and personality. She came from a litter of about 6 or 7 and friends of mine had 3 of them but needed to give up two. There was a short period of indecision because Tim said I needed to choose between another dog and a camera. This was quite a conundrum, but I decided to go with a living thing that would love me (hopefully). Having a puppy has been quite a learning experience for me. She forces me to have patience when I don't want to have any and she is definitely testing my patience with her little presents she leaves me occasionally. I'm sure she does it because she loves me. LuLu is a cutie and will steal your heart and then chew on it but I love her to death!
Tim and I spent Christmas in Florida and had a wonderful 3 full days spent with family and friends. We visited the condo in Naples and took a walk down memory lane. It's really hard to be back there because I miss our friends and who doesn't like 80 degree weather in December? There was much laughing, a lot of eating and surprises! I love surprises. On Christmas day we were at my sister-in-law's house from breakfast to dinner. Presents had just finished being opened and I had bought Tim and iPod even though no presents were suppose to be purchased for each other. Of course he was surprised but that isn't the best part. There was an extra bag and it was for MOI! Can you guess what it was? That's right folks - a dSLR. Are you freaking kidding me? I was in true shock. Not only did I get a puppy but I got a camera to take pictures of the new puppy. Just so you are aware and possibly haven't figured it out, my love language is gifts. Albeit, I don't receive gifts very often and they don't have to be extravagant like cameras but it's still my love language.
This year we strayed from our traditional NYE with our best friends. We had to save some money this year so next year can be BIG so we met my dad, sister, uncle and significant others up in North Carolina for a weekend at a cabin. It was just so beautiful and I have pictures on my Facebook. I can see myself living in a log cabin one day and maybe I will...who knows.
2009 holds big changes for me. There are things I'm ready to take the step to do which includes taking better control of my life. I feel I don't have much of a purpose so I'm trying to turn that around. I do not make resolutions on an annual basis. The chances are high that if I write my list, check it twice and vow to stick to it that I won't and I'll only be disappointed in myself. Therefore, as I go along I try to make decisions and commit to them. For the past several months I've been very unhappy with my job. There are a plethora of reasons I believe it didn't work out, but they don't matter. It was time for something new and contrary to my personality I did something about it. Instead of quitting and running from the issue I asked to do something else which worked out extremely well. The position is more of a fit for my black and white personality and today I was asked "having fun yet?" to which I responded "yes!" and I was serious even though the question was meant to be sarcastic. The other decision I've recently made is to lose weight which I have succeeded at only once in my life. Here's to hoping for follow through on my part. There are other decisions I've made that haven't come to fruition but I'm being patient.
One more thing before I go. I haven't seen my sister Liz since July of last year. It's actually starting to hurt almost physically. She is so far away and it's not feasible for either of us to fly and see each other. I'm praying for a miracle at this point and crying while I type this so words are blurring and I need to log off. I love you Liz!
Until the next time I decide to write...
