winter solstice

picture this...
today marks the beginning of
winter...tell that to the folks in colorado!

today also marks the day that we
minnesotans long for....today, the days
begin to get longer! i believe that it takes a
few days for that to get rolling and it'll take
a few weeks for it to start showing but
nonetheless, the days are going to soon
be longer and having more daylight will make
a difference to many!

i'm up & adam today, feeling oh so much
better and more myself.
having just had a small taste of the flu,
it's nice to be among the vertical! :)

i've got a couple of slammin' days of hair
ahead of me in that i've had to reschedule
everyone from the past 2 days.
pray for my strength the next couple of days!

hopped on the scale this morning.....
the flu diet is widely under-rated!
at the same time, not recommended
for ANYone! :)

hey, it's my brother-in-law's birthday
tomorrow! i think he'll be 42?????
'spose i'd better get a card in the mail today!
if i don't....."happy birthday pete!"

my youngest niece lost a tooth the other
day and she called yesterday to tell me
all about it. she's 6.
she's always feeling a little small, left out
and nothing special...now, the whole world
knows that amanda has lost her very first tooth!
now, THAT'S something special.
apparently teeth now get a couple of dollars.
i think they ran a quarter back when i was
losing mine (for the first time!).....HA!

gotta get ready for the day.
have a good one.

neighborhood party tonight also...looking
forward to getting out of the house.
oh, and ron & cindy...don't worry..i'm just fine.
see you tonight!
