OK, so I lied about being better about updating my blog. I have been in vacation mode and have little more energy than to figure out which way I'm going to turn while I'm napping. I have to say it has been 7 pure days (will end up being 9 days) of bliss.
Alexxa came home from Monterey, so on Saturday we spent the day together shopping and eating. Sunday the fam visited Dennis and Anne and Anne made a belated birthday meal for Dennis, Amy and myself....YUMMERS! Monday through Wednesday Todd and I went to Reno, got snowed in and ate ourselves into oblivion. Thursday was, of course, Thanksgiving, and we enjoyed a spectacular dinner that my mom cooked at their house. Uncle Lynn came with us and we visited most of the day, that is when we weren't eating. Friday, we got our Christmas tree, went to Apple Hill and went out to Chinese food for dinner. Saturday we slept in, Lexx made homemade cookies, I did a little laundry and went to Grandys for some more food that Anne made for Lexx. Sunday, we just kind of hung out. Lexx went back to Monterey, Austin went to work, Todd went to Lynn's house, and I hung out on the couch and watched movies all day.
It was so nice to get away from the hectic work schedule and enjoy time with family. We don't really get to do that much these days as Austin and Alexxa have their own schedules. I am truly blessed this holiday to be surrounded by the people I love most!
PS - Pictures to be posted later because I can't upload pictures on Todd's computer and mine is broken.
Things I'm thankful for today:
My family
Getting to spend time with family.
Good food and good conversation - plus a glass of wine :)

Double A.W.E.S.O.M.E
It's getting to be that time of year where everything seems to speed up and go into double time. No, I haven't been great about posting lately, but it's not that I don't think about it. I really have meant to, BUT it seems for the past couple weeks that something has been more important - not to mention some technical difficulties with my computer.
My power cord pooped out on me. It still works, kinda, but I have to twist it into a little not and hold it with my right hand while I hunt and peck with my left hand. My left hand isn't used to so much work and it cramps up after I type for about 5 minutes. So, when I let go of the power cord with my right hand to give my left hand a break...my power shuts off on my computer - AWESOME!
There is also stuff to do around the house. I wake up, get ready for work, go to work, come home and cook dinner, pick up a little, and then do stuff like clean up after the puppy. Some puppy - who will go unnamed - crawled up on top of the dinner table the other night and ate cranberries that then gave her a tummy ache which she decided she needed to take care of in the living room, the kitchen, the hallway and then about 6 inches UP on our bedroom door - double AWESOME! I do have to say, I didn't have to clean up that one, Todd just so happened to take that day off from work, so I dodged that bullet! :)
On the good news front, Todd is working on tiling the kitchen. Remember months back when I showed a picture of all our old tile popped up and the white underlayment stuffy? Well, we've been walking around on that since that picture was taken. I am loving the way it is looking so I guess it was worth the wait. I follow up with pictures as soon as Todd finishes laying all the tile.
Beyond the above, everything is great. Kids are well, Todd is well, and I'm well. What more could we ask for?
Things I'm thankful for today:
Todd's baby computer - I don't have to hold the powercord.
Puppies not eating cranberries.
Everyone doing great!
