I can't believe it has been 2 months since I have written anything. I haven't even sent out a Christmas Reminder for 2 months. Some of you must be perusing the obits looking to see if I have passed over.
I could tell you that I have just been too busy. I could tell you that I have been sick or something equally as evil. Or maybe my computer was broken. Anything that would prevent me from writing. But truth be known, there are no valid excuses. I have just been lazy. It started out that I just wanted to change the title of my blog and couldn't come up with anything. Then I just used that as an excuse not to write. Today I decided that this blog was for more than just Christmas and then went and changed the title to say that. Pretty simple, eh??
What has been happening in the last 2 months, you ask. Well, Bob & I went to Calgary for my neice's wedding and we stayed for a whole week to visit some wonderful friends who have migrated from Ontario. While you were enjoying that horrible, humid, heatwave, we were enjoying 10C - 14C, frost every night, and occasional snow flurries.
On the day we left Alberta, our friends in High River were enjoying 4 inches of snow. We arrived in Kitchener, Thursday evening to a stifling temperature of 29C with humidex feeling like 35C. OMG... it only took 2 days to get the pool opened and warmed up enough to go in for a dip.
I am very busy these days, raising funds for my Relay for Life on June 18. If you are interested in sponsoring me, I have also included a link to the online page.
Just to keep with the Christmas theme, there are only 206 days left until Christmas 2010. Does that help make you feel abit cooler now??
I am going to try very hard to be more disciplined about my writing, so you can start checking back regularly to see something new.
Well, I still have to work for a living so I had better get back to earning that paycheck.

SOMETHING NEW
Well, yesterday morning I came into work and found an email from my sister. She just became the first time Grandma of a beautiful little girl. I have a great - niece and her name is Lillie. I could hardly wait for my work day to end so that I could go and introduce myself to her.
I got to the hospital after the daytime visiting hours and before the evening visitation. The nurses tried to give me their best disciplinary stares, but I was going in anyway. There she was, all bundled up, just waiting for me. I gently picked her up and introduced myself. I told her that I was her Auntie Donna who she would worship and adore. She wrinkled up her tiny face, opened her eyes and smiled at me. Then she relaxed and snuggled in for a wonderful cuddle, knowing, she was already safe in my heart. I told her what a special place Christmas was and not to worry that there were only 261 days left, I would make sure she was well prepared and her first Christmas would indeed be special.... as special as she is.

Just 262 days
It was brought to my attention this morning that I have been negligent in my duties. I offer no excuses. I could tell you that I have been so busy at work or home, but the truth is, I just plain forgot. I know that is hard to believe but I will make every effort to ensure it doesn't happen again.
The weather has turned cold again here in Southern Ontario, so it should be easy to actually think about December 2010. Don't you find it hard to believe that 103 days or over 3 months have passed since Christmas 2009. Every year, time passes by quicker than the last.
I am currently planning on a renovation at my house to add a floor to ceiling bay window in the front where everyone who passes by my house from Nov to Feb will be able to see and enjoy, my beautiful tree with it's 900 pretty lights. It is causing some dissension between my husband and I, but we all know, that I will win in the end.
Well, before you spot that first robin, or your tulips come into bloom, just take a moment to remember, there are only 262 days to wait...............
