Grammy just called to wish me a happy birthday. For Christmas, she bought Margaret and I two coffee mugs with kittens on them who meow whenever something moves or light hits them. We love them, but it's a bit annoying when they go off all by themselves in the middle of the night! Still, they are... Sign in to see full entry.

My brother rang me about half an hour ago to wish me a happy birthday and happy holidays too. I was really surprised and very happy to hear from him, since we don't get much chance to see or talk to each other. Please continue to pray for him? He is still having health problems. Thank you, my... Sign in to see full entry.

Okay, this is one present I DID NOT ask for!!!! It's snowing!!!!.... It has been for the last couple of hours, and poor Margaret had to venture out in it. Oh, well. At least Mac was willing to help her out. Yay! Becky just rang me a few minutes ago with a birthday wish and I am very happy to report... Sign in to see full entry.

Mum just left after having coffee with us and delivering my birthday and our Christmas gift. Just before she got here, Mac brought us Christmas gifts and a birthday gift for me from our friend Tricia too. We're going to open her Christmas gifts tonight together since she asked us to.

Happy birthday to me! Thank you all very much for your wonderful birthday wishes. I am blessed by each and every one of you. I am grateful for your friendships and encouragements. You each mean something very special to me. Thank you all for being just who you are! It has been a wonderful birthday... Sign in to see full entry.

I know, I haven't been here at all today. Shame on me! Margaret and I have been listening to Christmas carols, playing with the wii and we even watched an old Christmas cartoon called O, CHRISTMAS TREE. I don't ever remember seeing that one when I was a little girl, but I'm sure I must have... Sign in to see full entry.

Mac and Becky picked us up later than planned today, but that was fine with us since we were having a bit of trouble getting going ourselves! Still, they came and off to APPLEBEE'S we went! Even driving there was fun! So we got to the restaurant and Mac ORDERED us to order anything on the menu we... Sign in to see full entry.

Margaret and I will be making pizzas for lunch today using up the sausages we cooked for our pasta dish the other night. Yummy! After that, we'll probably play on the wii for a little while. I decided to have my shower after she goes out to do some last minute grocery shopping later this afternoon.... Sign in to see full entry.

I've just received a lovely Christmas card from Juliet. It's decorated with a festive wreath and the words Merry Christmsa on the front. She wrote me a lovely letter on the inside. I also received Christmas cards from Grammy and The College Guild, the place that Julie works for. Mum will send or... Sign in to see full entry.

I can't believe it's exactly one week until Christmas Eve! Where does the time go? Just two weeks left until the new yearr thrusts itself upon us! Sigh. This weekend is going to be busy for Margaret and I, but I'm looking forward to it. I need as much distraction as possible if I'm going to get... Sign in to see full entry.

I didn't win that FLINTSTONES/ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE records I bid on at ebay. I'm so disappointed! I was really hoping to win them for Margaret as a Christmas present. Oh, well. You can't win 'em all! If we did, life wouldn't be much fun, would it? And who knows? I may find them there again one day.... Sign in to see full entry.

I haven't been writing here as much as I normally do. December has been a rough month for me, which is mostly the reason for my absense. With Margaret due to leave for two weeks next Wednesday, we're dashing round all over the place like busy little honey bees! I woke up sick because of my back... Sign in to see full entry.

I've said many, many times here that I would so love to visit Russia one day. Most especially Moskow. But online today I read something that makes me very sad. I don't mean to judge the Russian people...That isn't my right. But I am sad nonethe less. I actually remember in 1986, hearing about the... Sign in to see full entry.

I want to get back to work on Vyktor, but at the moment I'm suffering from a lack of enthusiasm and a severe case of writer's brain freeze! I think I'll go bowling or play a game of golf...Maybe a game of Mario too. I'll be back... Sign in to see full entry.

Sigh. When we woke up this morning, Margaret came out into the kitchen and informed me that it was snowing again. It's still falling now as I sit writing this. I spoke to Mum earlier this morning and she told me we're only due for about two inches today. Not much, but too much for me. She says that... Sign in to see full entry.

Margaret and I have managed to reschedule the outting with our friends that we had to postpone a couple of weeks ago. They're going to pick us up around 11:00 on Saturday morning. We'll have lunch and then it's off to Wal-Mart once more! I'm actually looking forward to hanging out with them. I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

We made our favourite pasta dish for lunch and have shared some with our neighbour and will give some to Mum when she comes for coffee tomorrow. We always make too much of it, so it's a pleasure to share it! Margaret's going off to the grocery in about an hour, so I'll have a shower and maybe do a... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I talked to Mum earlier today and yes, they did in fact have Keisha cremated yesterday. They will be getting her ashes back on Monday, so they went off to shop for something pretty to keep them in. We have both Meeko's and Nikki's ashes too and the boxes they were placed in are quite...

Well, I feel tons better after my shower. It didn't take me nearly as long today as it usually does, so hooray! In just a few minutes we're going to find some lunch. For some reason, we're both absolutely famished! Its been raining since all day yesterday and it's still falling now. ICK! At least it... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... Thanks to all of you who left such kind comments regarding my post about Keisha. I tried to come back after that one to write, but I just couldn't do it. Mum and my Uncle took her to the vet this morning to have her cremated. If you would all continue your prayers for them at this... Sign in to see full entry.
