about me

I thought I would mention a few interesting things about me and my life today:

• We're off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz. Ok, all together now! Actually we're going to see Wicked tonight.
• I am dead tired today. I didn't get to bed before 12:30 last night, so I'm like a zombie today. Don't talk to me. I may just bite.
• My (basic) knitting skills do exist. A little rusty, to be sure, but I can remember the knit stitch. And my mother reminded me of the sweater that I started in primary school (and never finished) which proceeded to be passed down to Anna and then Lara as they got to that assignment in their schooling.
• I learned what my husband thinks about the holiday season, from a retailer's point of view. I've always known that the season sucks for him, but we've never really talked about it. Just sort of accepted what it means to us as a couple (with a minimal amount of bitching, of course).
• My family (and by that I mean ILs as well) are awesome. I have the best family in the world. I treasure every moment with them. My dad is doing a wonderful thing this Christmas and spending it in England with his mom, my grandmother. I wish we could all be with them, but it is just not meant to be. And Mike's family is including my own on Christmas Day. While Christmas is not going to be the same, Mike is absolutely right: all that matters is spending it with people about whom you care and who care about you. And you treasure the moment, even if you can't be all together.
• I can be moody and temperamental and yet people still seem to love me and accept me for who I am. The hardest thing is learning to laugh at myself and not take life so seriously.
