Merry Christmas

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

We enjoyed a family meal and gift exchange at Chris's grandmother's house on Christmas Eve. This morning, we met Chris's parents for breakfast. Then it was off to my parents house for Christmas lunch and gift exchange and time with family.

More Christmas parties

Two more Christmas parties today, one at the neighbors, and one at my boss's house. The photo is from the office Christmas party.

Asthma

Finally, I have at least one part of the puzzle - I have asthma. I had a methacholine challenge test today, and I flunked. Had a response, reaction, attack - whatever term you want to use on the 3rd dose of methacholine. The Albuterol treatment afterwards really helped. First time I felt like I'd been able to really breathe in about 3 weeks.

Little Aiden is sick :-(

Aiden is sick, and had to be admitted to the hospital for treatment of RSV. He's getting better and is supposed to come home on Monday.

Hope you feel better soon little guy!

Remembering Sandi

It's hard to believe that 10 years have passed since I received the phone call. My dear friend Sandi had just died in a car accident.

Every time I wrote the date today, I thought of her. You are still loved and missed Sandi.

Christmas at the neighbors

Our next door neighbors hosted a Christmas gathering and invited us. The food was absolutely wonderful, and the company as well. We got to meet several other neighbors we had not had the opportunity to meet before. It was a wonderful evening.

Meeting Aiden

Finally! I got to meet Aiden!! Here are a few photos Chris took of the event. He is such a sweetie.

I saw gas for $1.43 the other day, bought some for $1.46

Happy Birthday Twolie!

Well, her name isn't really Twolie, it's Julie M. She works in the office next door, I was around first, so they call me Onelie, and her Twolie - this came up when Julie #3 was hired, so you guessed it, she is Threelie.

And, as you can tell, my birthday and Twolie's birthday are only 2 days apart.

Happy Birthday to me!

Happy Birthday to me!

Chris got me an external hard drive for my lap top because it is getting so slow! I'm really excited about getting everything moved over to it. Thanks Chris!

iPhones

My phone has been acting up and Chris's needed a new battery, so I had to go get my driver's license renewed, and then I decided to stop by the AT&T store. I was just going to upgrade my phone and get him a battery. I ended up leaving with two iPhones, one for each of us. Really enjoying them, but we are both finding that some of the things our simple phones can't be done on the iPhone. Simple things - two main ones for me - I can't forward a calendar note and I can't create groups so I can easily pull up a certain group of people who would be receiving the text (and calendar note).

Also, we found that if you enter a contact, you can enter a birthday for that person, BUT it does not import it into the calendar which makes no sense to me. So, I had to go through the calendar month by month and enter all of that information even though I had already entered it in each contact.

But, all in all, I love it. We are downloading all of our music CDs into the iTunes.

Sick!

I got sick on Saturday, (Nov 29th) and thought I was getting better, even managed to go to the Sarah Palin rally and to class after that. Tuesday, I wasn't feeling so hot again - wound up in the hospital - dehydrated and low potassium. So, after getting re-hydrated, I got dismissed. Feeling better, but not completely over it yet.

Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin came to Georgia today to campaign for Saxby Chambliss. She was close enough for me to go see her. I managed to get this shot which turned out to be my favorite one, it was shot through someone's arms. Notice the tiara - a young girl behind her was wearing it, but it looks like Sarah is wearing it.

It was awesome getting to attend the rally.
