My life just isn't interesting enough to write about.
Another year is ending and not much else to report that people need to know.
Oldest daughter Kirsten is expecting her third son any day now. Last I heard baby was visibly dropping about a week before Christmas, her second son James was born the day after Christmas. Poor kids who are born so close to the biggest gift giving holiday!
Good news at least for the new year, Devon will 'officially' have a job. He's been working with a friend at a small HVAC company and getting paid 'under the table'. Starting January 1, they will be put on payroll, yippee!! Double edged sword there, more work means more pay but also has to pay taxes on the pay so hopefully it balances out.
Katie is in Ohio visiting her brother and grandparents, she'll be back at the end of December so Christmas with her is delayed. No car means shopping for things is also delayed, but I got a pleasant surprise that she and her mom engineered.
We never got to storage to pull out our Christmas stuff so her mom set up a small light blue artificial tree list with teal blue lights while I was at work. Also got ornaments to decorate it and bought me some bbq from a local restaurant for dinner. Yum!
The requested Christmas gift for Katie was to get the apartment clean. Not that it's a total disaster but clearing off my side of the craft table, mopping floors, vacuuming, maybe a few extra touches here and there is all. Oh and straightening my room would be the big bonus. Hope to find a small dresser to put clothes in that is more accessible than the under bed drawers I have now. Get the yarn stash put back into boxes and that'll declutter a lot of my room.
I am so looking forward to Katie getting back! Her cat Thorin is driving me up the wall with his meowing for attention constantly! He won't let me near him because the only people that are allowed to interact with him is immediate family. Butthead. I want a cat of my own that isn't psycho.
I am planning a return trip to Washington in the spring. Hoping to bring Devon again, since it'll happen around his birthday. Late April should be a good time to go up there, cool but not too cold, everything coming back from winter and Spring stuff growing. Maybe even some lambs according to my friend Miki!
Okay, promised myself a fifteen minute post so I have time to do other stuff today.
Was going to add a video from BuzzFeed '10 Reasons Why Holiday Birthdays are the Worst'. For Amber and my two grandsons.
Love you all!
