HEY EVERYONE, I DECIDED TO JOIN THE CROWD AND BLOG! I GUESS WE'LL SEE HOW IT GOES. I'M NOT VERY GOOD AT KEEPING A JOURNAL ANYMORE, SO MAYBE THIS WILL GET ME OFF TO A GOOD START. CHRISTMAS IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER, AND OF COURSE I'M NOT DONE SHOPPING YET! YIKES, PROCRASTINATOR! HOPEFULLY I FINISH THIS WEEKEND. I AM EXCITED, AND I THINK MY KIDS ARE TOO! I JUST LOVE TO GO GET THINGS THAT I KNOW THEY WANT, I LOVE THOSE CHRISTMAS MORNING EXPRESSIONS! I WAS HOPING FOR MORE SNOW THIS YEAR, BUT MAYBE IT JUST HASN'T ARRIVED! I WAS IN SPOKANE TODAY AND THEY HAVE A LOT MORE, BUT STILL NOT ENOUGH FOR ME. I ACTUALLY REALLY DON'T LIKE THE COLD, BUT I LOVE HOW BEAUTIFUL IT LOOKS. WELL, I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS, AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. DRIVE SAFE!
