Me so happy....


Why am I so happy? 2007 is finally done. Finished. We've seen a lot of Andrew for the holidays. He moved out closer to us. Here he is in Brittany's "pink therapy room". Brittany, up until a couple of years ago, eschewed the color pink. Enter now. Her walls are a very light shade of ballet pink, her comforter is two tone pink. Her sheets are pink, her Christmas tree is pink, she has a lot of pink stuffed animals. Brittany has a lot of pink shirts from her mother planet, Hollister. To borrow a line from Steel Magnolias, "The sanctuary looks like it's been hosed down with Pepto Bismal!"
Why am I so happy? Only one more semester to go before Brittany graduates high school. She made very good grades this last one. I am so proud of her!
Why am I so happy? I got all of the Christmas decorations put away today. I carefully put away everything I took out and some extra treasures for next year that I bought on clearance. I only need to have the icicle lights taken down off of the house, and that will be tomorrow's project. Only I hurt my neck so I won't be able to go up onto the roof. Andrew and Mark will be my special helpers.
There will be some big milestones for our family in January. Stay tuned!

Happy happy happiness!
I am so jealous of you having your decorations down. That is my today project, along with a dozen loads of laundry from our trip. Bahhhhh.
Happy New Year!

That is too funny about Brittany's room being all pink. I did not like the color pink either, that is until I had a girl. Having a girl changes everything. Before I had Terralyn I did not have single pink article of clothing and I swore that my daughter would not wear pink. Now I love the color pink. Taking down Christmas stuff is my project today, I am just procrastinating. Happy New Year!

Ohhhh, what are these milestones I wonder? I am also in awe of your prompt clean up job of Christmas.... I have no plan yet as to when the tree will come down, maybe it is less work just to leave it up all year, I'll run that one by Adam, see what he thinks...
