Things are going ok. Not great, but plugging along.
I've had a nasty cough and a froggy voice all week and my clients are a little tired of hearing me. Other than that, I'm ok. Just some congestion left. Getting better though.
Since I've been sick I haven't been very touchy-feely, lovey-dovey. I can see it's starting to irritate Gabe. How do you manage to be sexy while you are hacking up a lung???? UGH. Oh well, that is his issue, not mine right?
I've made 17 pounds of fudge so far with 6 pounds to go. That sounds like a crazy amount but really it's only a total of 8 batches. They just weigh a lot. I made 4 different kinds this year and ditched the cookies entirely. Fudge is SO much easier. I'm sure they will love it.
I talked to my cousin today about my embarrassment from inviting myself along on her trip to Florida. She said she was planning on me coming and couldn't imagine going without me. I told her I'd have to take Marc since he really can't be alone all day and evening for several days. I'm sure he'll stay to himself anyway. He loves to just sit and watch TV all day. It will be too cold in the panhandle for the pool or the beach.
One last concern......
I bought Gabe a Christmas present just before Thanksgiving. It's been nestled in my closet ever since. Now I'm starting to question if I should give it to him. I know he hasn't gotten anything for me and I'm relatively certain he won't. I wouldn't want him to feel bad for not having a gift to give in return. I just got it for him because it was something he had said a while back that he really wanted. What do you guys think? I just want to avoid awkwardness if at all possible. FYI - one part of his gift won't keep for long so I would have to give it to him now or just trash it.

I'm pretty sure he will get you a present Mishka, and if he doesn't then he should feel guilty for not doing so. Don't worry about his feelings, worry about your own.
This year I got presents for the people I wanted to buy for. Not sure if they will all reciprocate, but so be it! You got him something because you wanted to, so give it to him because you want to. How do you know whether he got you anything, anyway??
Do any of us give only in order to recieve? I hope not, though it has taken a while to get there. It just feels so good to give. I hope at one point to be able to be in line at the grocery store and surprise someone by paying for their groceries. Maybe it sounds silly but I want to do it. Today at lunch, I am paying for the person behind me....Merry Christmas!!
off the soap box. Give it to him.

Follow your heart and disengage your brain.. you bought him a gift because you wanted to, give it to him with that sentiment and not a nervous I-hope-you-got-me-something-too-or-arent embarressed.. in other words, just give it with love and a smile.
I gave H a couple of little presents I knew he'd love even when he was with Helen!!! Although I did have to post them ;-)
And you got to stop jumping to negative conclusions Mish! Look at your cousins response..."She said she was planning on me coming and couldn't imagine going without me", thats pretty conclusive! You're like me, you worry too much
Happy Christmas and heres to a better year next year hey xxx

I don't give to receive, I just know him and wouldn't want him to get a complex about it. I got it because he had said a few months ago that he wanted one. It's a pipe and some very nice tobacco. So, I'll give it to him and if he feels guilty or strange about it then so be it. It will make me feel good to give him something he wanted.
Julia, if I thought the fudge would mail well then I would certainly send it to you!!!!
Kat, that is such a wonderful thing to do. I got in the drive-thru line at a Starbucks last year and the front car paid for the next and it ended up continuing all the way through the line. It was so neat and someone from the store called the local paper and it ended up being one of the local feel-good stories of the season. It's such fun!!!!

Thought it was right on that you said that about this past year. One horoscope I read said this year would be a transitional one. Well it certainly has been! Cheers to 2011!!
