So Christmas worked our fairly well, thanks for everyone's patience and understanding with the homemade gifts!  I got lots of lovely things and big thank you hugs for all! 

New Year's has come and gone and except for that minor hair burning experience in Christine's bathroom it was great fun.  We won't comment on the bowl game we watched but I will say that hanging out was great.  Thanks Christine for hosting!

It looks like Michael might have a job (*crosses fingers*), and I've had an interview with a company I'd be interested in.  I think I'm off to a job fair in the morning so we shall see what becomes of that.  I've been having problems seeing due to excessive blurriness that ends up giving me a headache by the eveningtimes.  I'm sure that makes me cranky.  Anyway, finally decided I HAD to run get them checked regardless of money and bounced off after lunch to the eye doctor.  Evidently I just need a new prescription and there are no signs of anything bad caused by the diabetes.  But I did learn a few things, and we all know that a day where you learn something is a day worth getting out of bed for.  Anyway, I am now off to pick up some new glasses and see if I can actually, well, you know.. see..  :)

You guys all have an awesome day!  *huggles around*
