WHAT? Another change?!?!?!

What can I say?!?!?! I love change - I get tired of the same thing all the time.
So it's been a while since I've posted. The last few weeks have been nothing short of ridiculous. I have been so stressed out, I honestly I thought I was having breakdown. It was crazy...uh...I mean, I was crazy (am I right Care? Thank you for talking me down - what would I do without you?????) xoxoxo

After I finally got my head on straight (it's amazing what leaving work at noon and having 3-4 hours to yourself can do), I managed to get on track for Christmas and birthdays and well, just life in general!

Christmas was WONDERFUL!!!! It was peaceful and relaxing and enjoyable!!! I FINALLY got the hint and didn't go overboard on gifts and noone was overwhelmed....wow, what a difference!!!
The kids had a great Christmas!! Mason got a VFlash learning video game system from Santa and some games to go with it. The thing is pretty cool. We're anti-video game for the most part (except for the Wii - which I'd LOVE to have) - because of the violence and the whole "couch potato" thing - but this one is cool because he has to answer questions in order to move through the game. So he's actually learning as he goes - or at least practicing what he knows. It's a lot of fun. I really enjoyed playing it too!! :)
Sydney received her "Kid Ipod" (as we call it) - it's the Fisher Price FP3 player and it's cute. I need to find time to download some songs for her. She keeps saying "Did you put my HSM cd on there yet?" She also received a microphone (WHAT was I thinking - but it was the ONE thing she kept asking for) and she looks so darn cute performing!!! They were both very happy with their "loot" and I think all in all it was a great Christmas!! :)

The most exciting thing for me was my present. My wonderful hubby gave me money on my birthday to start saving for the camera I wanted. Well you know how hard it is to save (especially this time of year), so I hadn't gotten very far. Well he surprised me for Christmas with the balance and I GOT MY CAMERA!!!!! YAY!!!! I'm like a kid in a candy store. It came last night and I played with it for hours!!!! It's AMAZING and I love it!!! Here it is:


(Only mine is silver.)
The best part is it's the exact same camera I have in the film version, so I have 2 lenses that will fit this camera!! :) So you can guess how much playing I'll be doing this weekend. I still have to get a card reader, so who knows when I'll download any pics! LOL!!!
Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!!! I will do my best to update more often in the New Year (HA - I've heard that before!!!!)
If I don't get to post before the new year (wow doesn't that sound weird), I wish you all a VERY Happy New Year!!!! 2008 - WOW!!!!! :)
