A Reminder That I Am Alive and Kicking

Haven’t been to my own page lately. Life has been busy. I am in school, studying my brains out and I must say, I feel the same as I did before I started school. That will pass as more credit hours fly by me. I shall be a worthy advesary to someone writing Excel Spreadsheets one day. Hehe.

I know that I am not a fall girl, but it was a pretty fall and we went on many walks together to glimpse at the colors of the trees. Of course we snapped plenty of pictures to remember them by. My favorite fall memory of 2008 will definitely be the trip to Lone Elk Park. It was the most beautiful day and we were hangin out with my mom to take some great pics and (hopefully) to catch a glimpse of the Elk that stake claim to this area. We were not disappointing. They were out in full force, buffalo too!  Lone Elk Park is just a few minutes from out house, so it was a treat close to home.  Vinny is in the process of uploading the photos and I am glad that we can share them with you. Halloween seemed to creep up on us and then fly by, and I was a little sad to see it go because Halloween is a great night. We enjoyed it to the hilt, horns and all.Vinny played a groovy set at The Kastle which was exciting to me. He doesn’t play out much; being in the front end is not his “thing”, but once in a while I get me a little Vinny Troia on the decks and I danced for hours. It was great.

Thanksgiving wasalso a blessing to me and mine. My father got to come in and visit with us, which is a rare treat and all went well. Man, he can make a mean turkey and  am glad that we got to enjoy it. There was turkey for a week in different forms after that. You know the drill; hot turkey, turkey sandwiches, turkey kabobs, turkey soup (soup????), etc. Everyone brought a little of their own flavor and flair to the dinner table and VOILA!, the meal was complete. After that, a few soft pillows and we all settled down to watch a good movie. I was so content.

During this couple of months, I have been working. Just a few hours a week, to get a little “people” time, but it is at a store called “Ulta” and I really like it. I am a hairdresser there, and it feels good to be behind the chair again. It feels like alot to handle all at once for me, work and school and house and child-but I am juggling well.  In fact, I had a little time on my hands this weekend and decided to go to Cherokee and window shop. The cold did not hinder as I really enjoyed the carolers and cookies. Now I am in the mood to decorate with cheer and tomorrow will be a day filled with holiday music and the tug of war that will ensue between the dogs as I dig through Christmas memorabilia.

I will definitely let you know how it went….
