Well another year has come and gone. I had a quiet New Year’s Eve at home with my hubby. It was nice and turned out to be really special! I can’t believe 2011 is over, seems like it flew by. In any event I hope you all had a safe, healthy, and happy new year, as well as holiday season. Here’s DJ Earworms awesome pop mashup for 2011. Enjoy and big love

Okay so apparently my last two or three posts never actually posted. I could see them and they said published but they never were. I think when I changed a snippet of code on a plug in back in November it somehow effected how my posts were publishing in the loop on WP. I’m not sure how, but when I changed the piece of code again I fixed it, so I guess it all worked out. And here I’ve been wondering why no one has commented or anything and I just assumed I wasn’t getting hits or people were busy with the holidays and everything. Still that may be true but at least now I know that there was actually an error on my part. Whatever the case feel free to go back and read my last couple of posts now that they are actually published, they’re not very long.

Anyway, I had a good Christmas. Ate too much because it was just so nice to be able to eat again, without fear of my gallbladder acting up. It still gets irritated and I have a whole other batch of crazy digestive side effects from the surgery, but it’s way better than before. Back to Christmas I pretty much just hung out with family at my parents and in laws houses. I got some nice gifts, mostly clothes and gift cards. I guess I’m pretty hard to buy for or something because I got $390 dollars worth of gift cards and cash. It’s cool though, at least now I can get what I really want. My parents gave me 2 really nice outfits, a new Coach bag, and an iTunes gift card. My sister got me this game called The Logo Board game. It’s all about brand logos and ads. It’s pretty fun especially if you know a lot about brand names and logos. My whole family played it on Christmas. I also got some Christmas decorations and kitchen towels and things like that from my hubby‘s family. But mostly gift cards again I hope all of you had a good Christmas. What did you get, anything good? Got any plans for New Year’s? As far as New Year’s Eve goes I don’t have any plans yet, but I’m sure something will come up. I was going to go out in Chicago with my sis (her birthday is on the 30th) and some friends, but she’s now going to New Orleans on Thursday so I guess I’m on my own. Whatever I do it will probably be with my hubby and his friends or couples or something. Ah, who knows I’ll post when I find out more. Maybe I’ll just spend a quiet New Years Eve at home. Side note, I really hate the week in between Christmas and New Years. I don’t know it just feels unsettled or something to me. Yeah, that was just a bit of random for you. Big Love

It’s Christmas Eve. Fun times and apparently I’m full of holiday cheer this morning. I just wanted to wish everyone a safe, healthy, and happy holiday season. I have family activities planned for tonight and tomorrow, so it should be a busy weekend for me! I’m really looking forward to tomorrow. Mostly because it’s the first Christmas I’ve had in awhile where I don’t have to try to hit 3 different Christmas gatherings in 3 different cities. I’m bypassing going to some extended family homes this year. Also yay for presents, but I really like to see people’s reactions to what I give them. That’s more fun to me. Not that I don’t enjoy getting gifts because believe me I do! To those who celebrate Christmas, remember why you’re celebrating that Jesus is the reason for the season and it’s not just about presents and all that jazz! Well I’m off, I have a family gathering at my hubby‘s grandmother’s house this afternoon. Big Holiday Love
