Peace & quiet.... what a rare and valuable commodity right now! I can't even put a price on it, I love it so much! Jason has gone out to his friends place tonight, and Joey & Chris are in bed. Now its just me, and its time to catch up here. Then I'm gonna watch a movie (maybe Devil Wears Prada), and go to bed. I know - it sounds like a thrilling night :) To me, it is!

Anyways, the first week back at work is over. Its crazy busy there, and its only the start of the year. The administration office moved today, so we were shut down. Because I do payroll, I still had to get it done. I worked at one of our other locations to do it then ran back over to try & organize my desk. No such luck! I don't think I will ever be completely or happily organized. I never have been. On the bright side of things, we went out for lunch today - Swiss Chalet. Yummy! Which reminds me that I still have my apple pie from lunch in the fridge... maybe I'll have that when I watch the movie.

Our Scottish visitors left today. Right now they will be somewhere way up in the sky looking down over our snowless country. I wish that they could have seen a real snowfall when they were here - I don't think they even had to unpack their winter jackets! But anyways, Lorraine, Maureen & Brian: thank you for sharing Christmas & New Years with us, and maybe next time we'll get to go taboozing! And thanks again (so very much!) for the pickled onion monster munch and koalibear!

I also had a nice email today from someone else in Scotland, and it brightened a not so sunny day for me. My Uncle Frankie has discovered my blog! I hope that you guys will check in now & then to see what we're up to... even if its not always good things! So tell Lizbeth, Abigail & Lewis hello from all of us!

What else to say??? There is so much on my mind right now that I could go on for hours, but I'll save it for another day. I have apple pie to be eaten and a movie to be watched so I'm going to enjoy my time alone! But before I go, here's a picture of Chris being a goof just to make you smile :)


Yes, that is a Pampers pullup on his head! Good night :)
