Happy Birthday Megan

Megan's birthday was Friday, Jan. 18. She is now 9 years old, hard to believe how quick she is growing up. Marci brought her to the house Friday night and we had a little party for her and Sat. morning we went to Build a Bear and let her pick out the monkey she wanted to make this year : ) She had a slumber party that night with 5 of her school friends, I think her Mom made sure she had a very special birthday!!!

This is a busy birthday month, two of my best friends have a birthday on the 25th, Happy Birthday Cee and Judy (((((*smile*))))) and hugs. And my sister's birthday is on the 29th, Happy Birthday Sis!!! She lives in GA and will be in visiting this coming weekend.

The weather has been really cold this past week, a couple days our high temp was 14 and we had an ice storm here yesterday, there were wrecks everywhere. The temp wasn't that cold, around 29 but enough moisture and rain and sleet the night before it all froze on the roads.

It was MLK holiday on Monday so I kept Megan since she was out of school and we went to the movies to see Alvin and the Chipmunks, it was a cute movie and we had a nice day together. She was suppose to teach me the new dance 'Cha~Cha Slide' but we kind of forgot about it, so we'll save that for her next visit.....LOL I have to keep up with the kids : )

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!!!

Better late than never.........LMAO
The past month has been very trying for me but I'm trying desperately to put it behind me, I'm just not real good at that. LOL What can I say, I'm female!!!
All in all Christmas was very good, the kids all came to the house and stayed most of the afternoon and Mom and Everette came for awhile too. We didn't cook a big meal, just had some tasy finger foods and lots of deserts, which I am glad is all gone now, 7 lbs gained later : ) I think everyone had a good day and enjoyed their gifts. I know Megan did, she wanted a camcorder so that's what we got her, along with some clothes. Marci got me a neat Dirt Devil broom vac that I just love, sure makes sweeping these hardwood floors a lot less dusty. Dwight got me an external hard drive!!!!! * smiles * I've got to stop downloading all of these wonderful digital scrapbooking supplies ( NOT ) I've got plenty of room to store them now, also been busy burning things to disc so I don't chance losing anything. He also got me a very nice winter white suit that I love and we got each other a new recumbent bicycle to help us get in better shape and lose some of this extra weight we have put on during the holidays ; )
Now that all the holidays are over I am going to try to keep up my poor blog better than I have been and also get more organized here at home. I do pretty good except for planning meals, I HATE cooking!!!! LMAO : )
Well, that's it for today, off to get on the bike for awhile and go see 'what's for supper'.
