Rob who?

Yes ladies who would want Robert Pattinson when they could look at that face and hear that voice. Michael Bub-le as I like to say is still coming to town. The problem is Christmas came faster. I guess I have to look at it this way. I have Martin Luther King day to look forward to. Then we have the all important Birthday of yours truly, then President's day. My baby girl's 15th birthday and then of course Saint Patrick's Day. I think it will come much faster if I look forward to each individual holiday. Oh and I did leave out the ever important Sunday of Sunday's the Super Bowl.

It is still as of today 64 days and counting..........

Resolution's

When being asked last year what my New Year's resolutions was going to be, it didn't take long for me to answer. I have thought long and hard about mine for several month's.

Let's be honest, I have tried exercise, dieting, being kind to truckers and people who drive to slow and trying to quit eating chocolate and 100% Visiting Teaching and have failed at all of them. So I have tried something I think I can do. I am going to follow in the footsteps of someone I admire greatly, my Savior and my Mom. I am going to do more service.

I saw this picture on a blog I follow and was deeply touched at what I saw. We all have moments similar to this, we feel we are alone when no one is around or cares, but their is still one person at our side watching over us and helping us through our deepest, darkest hour.

I am so grateful to those who have helped me get through all those times when I didn't think their was a light at the end of the tunnel. You have helped me more than I will ever be able to repay.

I know Christ lives....May you all have a wonderful and spontaneous New Year!

Guess who's coming to town?


And it ain't Santa. I received the best gift in the mail TWO tickets to the
March 30th, Michael Buble concert at the Pepsi Center. And they are great
seats. I get to see and hear my favorite crooner up close and personal. Now the only problem I have is waiting clear until March to go. I haven't been this excited about a concert since my college friends and I took off and headed to see Aerosmith. We thought we were such rebels. Just look how far I have come. I don't think they will have a mosh pit at this concert.

I am going to dress up and even use my jazz hands and Broadway arms. I am really good at jazz hands in the kitchen singing along with him on my i-pod. We will see what people think of it at the concert. The countdown has begun. 100 days and counting.....

A Blue Christmas

We are having a Blue Christmas at our house. Our tree is finally up. The decorations are out. The Christmas music is playing. The piano students are giddily playing Christmas songs. We have even been to Makaila's Christmas orchestra concert. But sadly Johnny Mathis is missing. I do have the C.D. case, I however do not have the C.D.
I can remember as a child laying on the couch and listening to the record over and over until I was worried it would wear out. I can sing each song word for word. I know how long to hold each and every note. When to come in on each song, and if I hear just a few notes I know it is a Johnny Mathis, Christmas song. I must say I feel like a child who just had his bike stolen. I am still holding out some hope. I am giving it until maybe tomorrow and then I might have to get another one. I feel all sad inside knowing that case is empty.
