Update

I think I am a little more lucid than the last time I tried to post. I used to go to a page that I saved but now I go round the mulberry tree to find the way in to post. Why do they make it so hard? And why do they make it so you can't ask a question. Their help area is useless when you can't ask the right question.

Anyway, its almost Christmas and we have had 75 degree weather. It feels more like the proper time of the year today, around 50 degrees. We have decided to host Christmas for Craig's side of the family at our house on the 22nd. The bathroom is a mess and I still don't have any plants in the front yard but it is what it is.

Tory Anne has had some adventures on this deployment down the Pacific coast on the Coast Guard Cutter, the Steadfast. She has become the bull Ensign which means she is the head junior officer and she got to do on a helicopter to another ship and even got to pilot it for a little while. She is a licensed pilot. The deployment started out a little rocky but evidently it is getting better. They were supposed to come this way for Christmas this year. It has been several years since they have spent Christmas with our side of the family but that was nixxed when they had to stay out for both Christmas and Thanksgiving and her husband's birthday. Folks, that is life in the military. Don't think that they don't make sacrifices for their country.

The people who are renting our condo have bought a house and are moving this month. That happens all the time except their lease isn't up until June. so I have found t a Realtor and have decided what rooms to paint as well as the type of new carpet to put in. We will be working on it between Christmas and New Year's to get it on the market for the first of the year. Pray that it sells fast.

Craig and I bought our Christmas gifts the other day to each other with the help of each other. He wanted an mp3 player and I didn't know which one he wanted so we went to the store for other things and I had him pick out the one he wanted and bought it on the spot. I was afraid it wouldn't be there if I waited. Then when we rounded the corner I spotted the exact pea coat that I wanted. There was only one and it was in my size so he bought it. They are under the tree but no using until after the holiday.

My son is doing well with his workouts and preparing for the Army. He has turned his body around and has dropped a lot of weight and put on lots of muscle. I'm very proud of him.

Well today is a work day, better get to the job. Oh wait. I have made the trip to the office already in my pajamas and with my coffee!
