Good-Bye 2008, Hi to 2009!

Do you ever go through one of those times that are just hard for a million different reasons. I feel like…I don’t know…is “spiritual remodeling” the right word? A lot of little things have happened to make me re-evaluate things. Personal things. Consequently blogging or viewing other’s blogs has been way at the bottom of my list. Today, overall has been a bad day. I think if I were to read my horoscope today it would say something like “People born in the middle of October in the Year of the Rooster beware, you are likely to be hit by a falling meteor.” On another note, I’m happy to report Mr. Nand I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary on December 28th. We also celebrated our 5th New Year’s together and as is tradition for us, we went to bed before midnight. (We’ve only welcomed the New Year one time. We usually prefer to savor our sleep and go to bed!). Oh, and no one got Christmas Cards, though we are sending thank you cards. Sorry. It just didn’t get done this year! I’m trying to come out of my lull, so until then I’ll grace your life with this survey! How many...

People did you kiss on the lips? Neal, Little M & Baby L…oh…and my Grandmother in Washington. I tried going for a peck on the cheek before we flew home, but she said “I don’t take kisses on the cheek, come kiss me on the lips.” Surprised, embarrassed, and a little…grossed out? I obeyed. I don’t really do kisses on the lips for non-husband/daughters…
