Anything But Gray

Almost a month?
Seriously?

the longest drought ever….since I started this blog.

I don't like it. I miss my blog..
and I don't even know why I stopped for so long….

The craziness of the holidays…
Having nothing to say….
I feel guarded, at times, on what I can write on this blog…..because at some point, everyone does stop by…
A wee bit sad about "life" in general for a little bit there.
Of all the friends and family I have, very, VERY few people read this….so why bother?

Because it's for ME and I LOVE having it…..and some people DO read it, faithfully.

So back to it, I go…..I hope to not let this happen again…a friggin' month. Just crazy.

Right off the top of my head…..what has been going on in the last few weeks…okay, okay..almost MONTH.

• Thanksgiving was nice…quiet, uneventful and just….nice. 🙂
• Jaime made honor roll!!!
•  J got a web cam and I get to SEE HER TALK NOW!!!! Amazing….and I am so addicted to it. I love getting to "see" her, love getting to see her son….it's just an awesome thing.
•  A little girl I love dearly….is so growing up and it makes me miss her so bad.
•  I got my Christmas cards out—watch your mail, they are on the way!!–THAT makes me so happy.
•  Rode the roller coaster of Zak's work….had a potential multi million dollar client change their mind about moving to NH. It's not completely over with, though. They are not 100% sure what they are doing. They know they are leaning toward not New Hampshire right now, but it's not definite and they LOVE Zak. So if they DO decide NH after all, it will be Zak they use. That right there, is cool. That they dug him so much. But it was quite the roller coaster for  a bit. lol.
• Benjamin is going to be Rudolph in his class play….!!! I CANNOT WAIT!!! It's the 23rd.
• I injured myself really, REALLY bad. Fell off one of our high dining room chairs and fell about 2 feet ONTO the chair, right on my ribs. Pretty sure I did some serious damage…..it's finally better but it was almost 2 weeks of hell. Couldn't sleep…couldn't hardly walk….couldn't bend. Just sitting was painful if it I did it for too long…I'm still feeling it, but I can function now. Zak and my mom really stepped up and saved me. They did the laundry and dishes and were just amazing…thank God.
• My business is doing pretty good. I have made enough money in the last couple of months, to pay for Christmas. I am pretty freakin' proud of me! And I love having my business!!!! So nice to be doing what I love and get PAID for it! I haven't done much marketing, just because I keep getting clients and work without having to do much marketing, so I've just been working with the business I have and keeping things at a reasonable pace. After the new year, I will start putting a plan in place and I am really excited to see what kind of  business I do once I do some marketing! VERY exciting.
• I had started going to the gym and then hurt myself so I haven't been able to. THAT is a little frustrating.
• I am annoyed as hell that I STILL have not "reviewed" Bon Jovi's new album.
• Mariah Carey is coming in concert, within in driving distance of me, THREE TIMES in January. I am really bummed I will not be able to see her. She is one of my all time favorite artists and I've never seen her in concert and I would do anything to be able to. BUT….I think I am going to bust my ass with my shop and see if I can manage to earn the money to go. Kind of a birthday present to myself. Good Luck to me!!!
• Very excited about the new year and knowing it's going to be a better year for us.

Sooo…that's it. A little run down of the major things going on. I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff or leaving stuff out…..meh…one step at a time, right? LOL
