I love DDR! I only do it when Britt's at school. I refuse to let her laugh at me. lol She wanted a Wii but I couldn't justify one more thing to have her sit on her butt. lol I have to take my 7 month pics tonight. I have high hopes for getting some decluttering done but that just won't happen until she goes back to school. I do my best decluttering when no one is around. I can't wait for my birthday. There WILL be a dumpster in the driveway. Have a blast at the photo shoot! You know we want to see pictures!!!!! * Cyndi *

Wow it has been crazy run here, run there......ugh. Glad to have today and the next two off to regrooup. I am going to go ahead and remove the deorations so that all fo that is done by next week when my surgery is on Jan 2nd. Maybe we can get to the garage too. We have almost been her a year nad still have stuff in the garage that needs to be sorted out.....can't even park one vehicle in there LOL! I wont be able to lift much for awahile so need to get it all done now. So I can just relax. I hope everyone had a wonder Christmas. We had a nice relaxing day here at home. The kids got a Wii so we have all been enjoying that but boy am I sore LOL. We got Dance Revolution and there is a workout mode.....no more excuses for me LOL! Friday is the photo shoot for that magazine article I posted about. A little nervous but very excited too! I am hoping to get the photographer to take one with my camera as well for my 7 month pics as well! Thank you to those that I recieved cards from.....mine were late going out so I am sending Happy New Year cards.....I figure we have a lot to look forward to in the new year!!!!!! I agree with John we should create a list of surgery dates and mailing list ....it has been fun recieving them. well the kids are fighting over the Wii so I better run and get soem stuff done around here! Wishing all of you the best for 2008!!!!!

Hi everyone, I finally posted new pictures today, as I got a digital camera for Christmas, after my other one died. I promise I'll keep it updated. I did run into a problem. I wanted to switch my picture that comes up on my posts from my original one to my picture of me and my 2 dogs. However, it said my picture was to big for the aviater, and I don't know how to change it. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it, I'm not good at all with computers. Thanks, John

You're definitely not alone. My dear grandfather will be 92 (very YOUNG 92) in May. He and my grandmother always hosted Christmas but she passed away Christmas morning 1996. So, since then I've been the hostess. Now, he knows about my surgery and sees me all the time since he only lives 5 miles away. I had a good, healthy menu. So, he calls me yesterday. He's bought a huge ham (I already have a 21 freaking pound turkey!). He's also got a huge tray of cookies, a pound cake and a coconut cake to bring here. Mind you, there are only 6 people coming tomorrow! I've tried to have a sense of humor about it. I made a single batch of M&M cookies so Santa will have something to eat. I can't seem to get it through *his* head that I don't want all this crap in my house. So, Mark went and bought a ton of that Gladware stuff and we fully intend to divide up these dreaded desserts and send them home. I refuse to keep "crap" in my house. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. I changed some of my desserts so I can eat a tiny bit. If I gain a pound so be it. Christmas only comes once a year. I'll get rid of it by the weekend. Merry Christmas!!!! * Cyndi *
