a few weeks of catch up
Okay so its been a few weeks since I posted last. It has been a busy, busy few weeks. I’ll catch you up on the happenings of my life with brief summaries… more detail to follow.
TSO performance – I went with my mother to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I enjoyed the show and realized that the stage was just as much one of the performers as each musician was. The lightshow and stage movement work was amazing. I think my mother enjoyed herself too and that’s the best thing. I always enjoy my time with her.
Annie visit – Over Thanksgiving I kept Annie, one of my best friend’s dog. She is the cutest Boston Terrier and was great visitor to have. Very well behaved and I can’t complain. My house actually felt a little empty after she left.
Grandma’s for dinner – I spent Thanksgiving Day with the people I love the most. I had dinner at my grandmother’s house along with my aunt, uncle, mother, and boyfriend. It was a nice day, wonderful weather, and allowed an opportunity to stop for a brief minute to count my blessings.
Carolina/Clemson game – My boyfriend and I took in the rival game at my friends’ house, Nick and Esther. All I can say is GO CLEMSON!!!!!!!!
Mom’s second Thanksgiving feast – Mom usually cooks for Thanksgiving and since this year we went to my grandmother’s she cooked a secondary Thanksgiving meal on the Sunday after. She had already thawed the turkey when my grandmother invited us so it had to be cooked anyway. But it was a lovely meal shared with the two of the most precious people in my life – my mother and boyfriend.
catch a cold – Two weeks ago I caught a cold that knocked me out of work for two half days. I’d try to go in and then would have to go home. Nasty, nasty cold. But I stocked up on Vitamin C and Tylenol Cold and that seemed to do the trick.
Chicago travel – I got all better in time to travel to Chicago for a work conference. The city was beautiful all decorated for Christmas and it SNOWED!!!!!!!! I’ll write more about this soon.
Christmas shopping – I have started Christmas shopping. I have just a few more things to purchase to finalize this years gifts.
more petsitting – I have also now become a professional petsitter apparently. I checked in on Phoebe, my godcat, who is owned by the wonderful pair Matt & Shea. And then the following weekend I was responsible for checking in on a trio that belong to Nick & Esther… they are Dusty, Ally, and Roscoe.
So that’s been my last few weeks. Along with working, it has been extremely busy. I’m hoping it will calm down soon so I can think. But the holidays are making that difficult. Hopefully I’ll have more time to write again and more frequently soon. I still need to make final comments on my California trip and now Chicago as well. Stay tuned…

Favorite Quotations
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.
