YAY! I finally finished my Christmas cards this morning! TB and I took them to the post office and mailed them out so I feel good that everyone will get theirs before Christmas!
Linda's been working at the movie theater the last couple of nights and our routine is different. Tomas misses his mom, that's pretty clear. It's not that he's difficult or anything. He looks around for her and seems puzzled but I think he will be fine. He fell fast asleep before 8 so we'll see how long he wants to sleep. Heidi gave him a bath every night since Linda started working and that's been fun for him. He enjoys taking a bath.
I can't believe how fast December is going!
My birthday is Sunday. It's a special one, the big 5-0 and, in my honor (I hope), it's going to snow. Heh heh.
There was some horrible news out of Missouri. I am still trying to process it and it's just so hard because it's so brutal. A woman, 8 months pregnant, was murdered in her home. The baby was cut out of her and stolen away!
Who would do that? Why? I've seen a couple of theories and it's just too hard to accept. Maybe she was killed by someone who lost her own baby. But ... how could someone who's lost her own child commit such violence on another human being unless she's a total psycho lunatic? The other theory is that the child was taken to be sold ... but ... why murder to steal a baby?
I just don't understand.
Hopefully, the baby's been found.
Maybe the story of what happened will come out and I'll understand ... but somehow I doubt it!
FOUR FOR FRIDAY (THE COP-OUT EDITION)
Q1: How's it going?
Not too badly
Q2: What's new?
Linda has a job and I have a lot less time for writing. TB & I seem to have colds. Christmas is creeping up too quickly!
Q3: What are you doing this weekend?
It's my birthday. I'm hitting the big 5-0 and so we'll be going to dinner and a movie. Child at heart that I am I wanted to go see Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events and wanted to eat at TGIFriday's so they can sing and make a big deal for my birthday.
Q4: If yesterday had been Wednesday's tomorrow and tomorrow is Sunday's yesterday, what day would today be?
It's still Friday!
This one is a day old:
::Christmas is Coming!::
Onesome: Christmas--Hey, an easy start for you, what with the new layout and all: What is your favorite Christmas song? ...and sung or played by whom? You know, the one you tend to listen for on the radio or hit 'repeat' on the player...
My favorite is the "Christmas Canon" by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Twosome: Is-- Is the longer "Holiday Season" this year between Thanksgiving and Christmas making it easier to get your Christmas act together? Last year's was short; has this year flowed any better for you?
Not really. It seems to be going by awfully fast
Threesome: Coming-- Ready or not, here it comes! Are you ready? What do you have left to do with just over a week to go? ...or are you just cruising?
I just need to buy a couple of things for Linda and TB's mom. I haven't wrapped anything yet
