Guido

Wow! It's been a long time since I posted.
I danced at another hafla earlier this month. I was not sure about it all, because I was the first dancer in the line, the first one to move to the music. Eeeek! I made several mistakes, but we all got good comments, so I guess all is well. I've ordered the CD, so I can see for myself. "What does not kill you makes you stronger. :)

It was a good Christmas, just very confusing. Mom was in the hospital, and we thought she might have to celebrate Christmas there, but she was able to come home that morning. Each gathering is important, because we may not have too many more as a family.

We hardly ever see movies, but we saw Avatar (ohhhh, pretty!) and Nine. I can so relate to poor Luisa. %^&*!

I've been having fun downloading iTunes, because the kids gave me gift cards. Yipeeee!

So, 2009 was a mixed bag. I am looking forward to 2010, and hope it brings happiness to all.

Guido is killing my soul.

Thanksgiving

Yeah! All of the Halloween decorations have been put away. A little late, but it's done. I'll put the Thanksgiving decorations away in the next few days, take a few breaths, then start decorating for Christmas. It's so hard to believe that it's almost December.

A Bitter Day

“If I could only weep,
I think sweet help with my salt tears would come,
To ease the cruel pain that is so dumb,
And will not let me sleep.”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox

I'm Still Here

Whew! Been busy with Halloween, sewing Christmas stockings, and practicing a dance for the Christmas hafla. So much to do, and little time to think deep thoughts.

The Long Black Veil (Again)

Today I was playing with my black veil. I love it so much. It's almost 4 yards long, and I love the way it flows. Roseanne Cash was on a late night talk show tonight, and sang the song her father sang so often. Halloween is so close, and it's so great for this time of year. Happy, happy, happy!

Anubis

Yipeee! We moved the Anubis columns out into the yard today. They still need work, but we are already getting thumbs up from drivers as they pass by. We also moved the golden ox out into the yard, which the cat is not happy about. He has been taking his naps under the ox, and I think he will miss it.

A Nice Day

I had a good day today. Got a nice compliment in dance class. :)

Had a good time painting Anubis for Halloween. Nice!
