Holidays

Well, here comes Christmas, and there goes my blog! I haven't meant to ignore you for almost a month... sorry!!

So today, December 22, 2011, is a very special day for at least a couple of reasons...
One year ago today, we got JASPER, the best dog ever! I can't remember what life was like before we got him, and now I can't imagine life without him! :-)
One week from today, I will turn 26 years old! The other day (a couple weeks ago, I think), I was looking at myself in the mirror as I got ready for bed, and I couldn't remember how old I was! I think I've been anticipating my birthday and turning 26, so I couldn't remember if I was already 26 or if I was only 25. That has never really happened to me before!! It was kind of weird.

Anyway... here's another quirk to get you through till my next post (potentially next year, at the rate I'm going!) Because my birthday is at the end of the year, I always like to make a list of things I haven't done "since last year when I was (25, 24, etc)." It can include anything, such as hula hooping, eaten chocolate, or shopping. One time, I was at my mom's for New Year's Eve, and she asked me to run to the grocery store for her, and I said, "I'd rather not," (which I never say), because I hadn't been since before my birthday, and I wanted to be able to say I hadn't been to the grocery store since last year when I was 22 (or whatever age it was). It was too funny, and of course my mom played along with me and didn't have me go! :-) Adam pretends not to like it but really I know he loves it. And it's kind of my thing, so he's stuck with it, since he's stuck with me! :-) Gosh, I love my husband!

Well, in case I don't see you, Merry Christmas and have a great and safe New Year!
