The past couple of days have been pretty tough I must say. Lots of stress brought upon by my job, the upcoming holidays, and the usual internal stresses that pop up evern now and again. I was gone the whole weekend on a retreat for school; therefore, I did not get a break from the crazy kiddos. And while it wasn't a bad weekend by any stretch, I'm just physically and mentally tired. To add on top of that, my fiasco with the Bally's folks is still not resolved, especially because they just lied about a supposed conversation that never took place. *Sigh*. [well it wasn't sighs yesterday - more like gigantic crocodile tears that turned into a plea for everything else to go right during this blissful time of the year]. However, after feeling sick the whole day, I skivved off school a bit early and went home to some hot cocoa and 'you've got mail', of which I promptly fell asleep to my delight. Then, I made dinner, decorated the happy christmas tree, and am now getting ready to make some holiday cards. Life could be approaching bearable if only I can get through it all. On a different note, here are some pictures from the past couple of weeks and my adventures:
A few weeks ago, I got all culinary up in here and made a delicious Thai chicken pizza courtesy of Rachael "EVOO" Ray. It was so tasty I must say.....Mr. Q was so very happy.
In November, Carrie's friend Heather threw a wonderful baby shower for her and we played all sorts of weird games and such. As of December 9th, Carrie and Simeon are proud parents of the most gorgeous child ever, Ana Diann. Kimberly and I visited all of them in the hospital and I am so glad we did because it was delightful to witness their elation and happiness over their bee-yoo-tiful bebe.
The picture below is our happy little Christmas tree for this
year. Lots of love and lights went into this lovely tree. I'll leave you with this last picture and happy wishes for these days of preparation and anticipation for the jolly man's arrival!

hey! just who the hell is this "jolly man" you speak of? I'll kick his ass...
What a beautiful tree! You guys are so cute in that picture.
And thank you for your sweet words about our daughter. I am so glad you came to see us and share in our happiness.
Best of luck in turning this month around. Wishing you many more hot-cocoa-happy days!
on further discussion of your christmas tree, it looks as it is some kind of fir tree, not a pine as your previous description led me to believe. we will investigate on thursday. oh, and hot cocoa may change the world, but hot cocoa and peppermint schnapps transforms the universe.
