Surely I am not alone, in my amazement, that it is now Dec 9th?? We have a Christmas tree (not yet decorated) and a wreath on the front door... Maybe the rest of the decorating will occur this weekend! Plus the children have had the annual photography "torture" session this afternoon (where I dress them in coordinating clothes and they smile like they like each other). To add to the winter "joy", we are having the mid-MO icy "specialty" tonight-sleet/icy rain mixed with snow!
We had a lovely Thanksgiving with my mom and sisters; alas, not enough snow for skiing... But we managed to entertain the children for 4 days nonetheless.
There are only 10 more days til Christmas (aka Winter) Break from school. I am still training for the Dec 28th Half Marathon in Springfield, to be followed by a March 15 Marathon in Little Rock! One of my goals is to have finished a marathon by age 50 and hopefully that will not take 2 or 3 tries to accomplish, like the half marathon has. I have been blessed by a great group of running buddies, without whom I doubt I would still be running! I calculated the other day that I have either run or walked about 655 miles thus far (for 2008) and that is just mind boggling. Especially when you consider that I have regarded myself as a "non-athlete" all these years!
Wishing all of you and your families a wonderful, blessed holiday season. May 2009 be a great year for all of us, hopefully with an end to the war,and a better overall economic situation! Take care, hug and kiss someone you love, and drink a little too much eggnog! Why not??
