The fleeting days of 2009
This time of year is sort of depressing down here in Oklahoma-wherethewindgoessweepingdowntheplain. I wish it was colder and snowier or warmer and greener. I’m not used to living in a place that is cold enough for plants to freeze and die, but not cold enough to get a nice blanket of snow to cover all the ugly stuff up.
I finished one cross-stitch project and started another. I splurged on a couple balls of yarn and am crocheting a stripey scarf. I finished one book and started another. I decorated Christmas cookies last night. Some carefully for looking. Others not-so-carefully for eating. I found an awesome present for Brandon. He seems to have an awesome surprise for me. Brandon had to run out and buy an emergency plunger last night. He finally found a dinner dish (that he liked, but) I just couldn’t(!) eat. I’m sure he’ll write about it on his blog. Grandma is in the hospital, but out of the woods. I have 4 weeks left of Internal Medicine. Mom- and Dad-in-law will be here to visit in 2 weeks. Brandon has 13 days left until Step 1. Christmas is only a week away. My Mom’s birthday is on Saturday.
Thank you to everyone that sent Christmas cards! And hot chocolate! And photo cards! You really know how to make us smile!
It’s 645am. I just ran outside to warm-up the truck. Soon, I will pick up Brandon from work and he will drop me off at the hospital and come home to sleep.
This is how we will say good-bye to 2009.

I think this is why I generally don’t like winter: I live in a place where it’s cold enough for plants to freeze and die but not cold enough for a nice blanket of snow to cover up the ugly stuff. I get so tired of the grey sky and bare trees and no snow!

Question… And I’ve been asking everyone this…
Think back over the last century. We had the roaring 20′s all the way up to the 90′s.
What are we going to call the first decade? The digits?
And should 2010 – 2012 be part of the ‘teens?

Happy Holidays to you two also.
Darn this year went fast.
Hope Grandma is OK. Always worry when they go into the hospital.
Stay well & warm you two.
