OK I SUCK!
Ok...so here it is. I am somewhat challenged by technology. It's part lack of knowledge and part procrastination. There are just so many things I don't get around to. One thing is downloading and uploading pictures. My husband is so much better at it. He always seems to get pictures up on his blog so fast. I keep meaning to put pictures up here but just don't. It's one of the things I hope to be better at in 2009.
Here is one of the great shots of the girls we got on the beach of Sarasota.
Thanks Ken!

ARE YOU READY? AM I?
So Christmas is officially in what...9 days? I'm not sure I am ready. I have everything hidden in bags in the basement. I am not really even sure what I have. I am starting to around things in my head. What do I have, who do I have to still buy for?
It's about now that I start to panic, maybe I haven't gotten everything I need, that maybe I have forgotten to buy something for someone. Lists are essential at this time of year. I have so many lists I start to get confused. The only problem with lists is that I tend to leave them around the house where the husband can read them. And now my 5 year old is starting to read and can figure out some words. Now I am worried she will be able to figure out what's on the list. Paranoia...I think so.
Anyway, I am going to spend the next week tallying up what do and don't have.

WHERE HAVE I BEEN?
I just realized the date on my last post. Holy Cow! I promised myself that I would try to update on a more regular basis. So much for that. There is one bright spot, my laptop is now fixed. HURRAY! So you can expect some more regular post with pictures too! I know shocking. Post ya later

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS
I am across a story at work ( I work in a newsroom) that was so moving. So moving it compelled me to learn more. The story was about a Secret Santa working mysteriously in Kansas City, handing out $100 bills to complete strangers, strangers in need.
This is what I learned about this Secret Santa...and others like him. They are part of the Society of Secret Santas
It is an anonymous group of individuals throughout the world, performing random acts of kindness to those less fortunate. They use their own money, without tax deductions. They give with love, always remaining anonymous.
It all started with Larry Dean Stewart. He was the creator and original Secret Santa. For more than 20 years, he played Santa. During those years he gave away about $1.3 million. Stewart remained anonymous for all those years. Three months before he died in January 2007 his identity was made public.
There is power in random acts of kindness.
