Merry Christmas!

This will (should) be short and sweet. :) 

Yes, I know I've fallen off the blogging wagon.  I should by now, have bored you to tears with posts and photos of our new house.

Alas, I still don't have the smartphone I was saving for.  House purchases were more important.  And now just when I finally have the amount I need saved up, Christmas.

Santa can't afford the measly $133 I need as a down payment, either.  Phooey. 

Yep, folks, I put bills, groceries, holidays(thus, other people) ahead of my own wishes and dreams.

Sometimes, the Karma just isn't enough to keep me smiling.


We are blessed. I know this.  I know this every morning when I walk thru my house!  MY HOUSE!  Yep, I still say it and it still puts a stupid grin on my face.
Move-in bills have kept us from having extracurricular fun for the past few months. And those stinkin' bills have kept groceries out of my house.  It's been a LEAN few months.
Thankfully I have friends a few houses down that take care of us when we need it.  And vice versa, of course.


I did Christmas cards, finally, this year.  (Lucy, I'm sorry it's taken me so long!  I love your wiener dog cards!!)
Last night, Sidewayz and I went caroling with some new friends!
We're taking care of a friends' dog while they travel for Christmas.

It's the little things, right?

Merry Christmas, beloved readers!
