Thanks for the book suggestion, I will have to check it out!
On the home front, the kids and I just finished frosting 3 dozen sugar cookies. What an undertaking! Took an hour and then 30 minutes to clean the sprinkles off the table and the floor. Why can't Christmas come when the weather is right for decorating on the picnic table outside??
We had rain all day today instead of the freezing stuff. Still are in a winter storm warning. Turning to ice as we speak, ice overnight and into the morning, followed by snow Thursday morning thru Friday afternoon. All told we are supposed to get 10-12 inches, on thop of the 12 incches we got 2 weeks ago that never melted!
Dan is supposed to take the kids to his sister's tomorrow night for Christmas Eve church. However it is an hour drive and with blizzard conditions who knows if that will happen. If not they may wind up with me for that and Christmas Day...I am fine with that of course. If not that is ok too. I figure I will make some soup and watch the Hangover before going to my own church...random but fun!
CA and I are still emailing. We went out a week and a half ago, haven't gone out again yet which is fine. We have emailed several times since then, roughly every other day. He just emailed a couple hours ago to say he made it to Chicago last night ahead of the storm. There was no email when I dated last (15 yrs ago!) so I don't know if there is some sort of rule of thumb. I just tend to wait a little while to reply so I don't look like I am hanging around waiting for him to email me. (Which I'm not, anyway...)
I just don't want this to turn into some sort of pen pal thing...but on the other hand it has been nice, we are getting to know each other and there has not been any inappropriate comments or overtures, so that part is a nice change of pace! Guess the 15 months of no hug/kiss/ML is getting to me... I am just ready to have a little affection here!
OK trying to think of any other news but not sure there is much else to tell. Kids are healthy and happy, knock on wood, I am doing well, too. Just wish I would hear back from the atty. Only 7 more days till 2010 and I don't have papers in my hand yet for Dan to sign!!
