my apologies to my trusty follower(s)... i've let the ball drop... it's been busy and i've been lazy. let's be honest here. the holidays takes up a lot of energy! everyday i think... "crap! gotta post a shot..." then my eyes droop and sleep is calling. so... i just want you to know that i haven't forgotten about you and i promise to be back soon. promise!
spent the day with my momma... went to to the mall. i was expecting the worse but was surprised when it really wasn't all that busy. and we just went for fun and food so there was no pressure of the last minute christmas shopping like i would assume the majority of the people in the mall were doing.
this is a silly shot i took of my mom. she's usually pretty accepting when i try to make her do funny stuff.
my finger tips are sore... once again i don't really have any feelings on my finger tips of my left hand. i've been playing the guitar quite a bit the past few days... 4 1/2 hours one night on the same song. trying to learn a new song. it's been about a year since i started self teaching on the guitar. last year we all made resolutions and mine was to learn.. i think i said 2 or 3 songs, but they upped it to 10. still have a about a week to reach the goal!
i want a hippopotamus for christmas... la la la... that silly *annoying* song has been in my head on and off ever since i did the christmas caroling with KOOL FM a couple of weeks ago. i never really knew the song and i still don't really but my ears perk up now everytime i hear it on the radio. it's funny how you never really notice a song until it's been drilled in your head involuntarily... although, i suppose in my case, it was voluntary since i joined the choir. eh... whatever.
anyway... i was sitting at my desk today sniffling away... frustrated that i was sick because i felt like i was blowing my nose every 2 seconds... and looking around, zoning out. i saw my little hippo friend sitting at the base of my lamp where he's been for the past few years. i don't even remember where he came from... i think a friend gave it to me as a gift. he's so cute... i love that he's there to keep me company. guess i don't need a hippopotamus for christmas because i have him.
happy birthday to my friend Rayna! i should've gotten a shot of her today but got totally lost in the bustle of excitement and hunger! we had a nice lunch at Spinnakers with good friends and a lot of her family.
i then had a nice evening chilling with my good friends Mabel and Craig. i don't see them as much as i should.. the last time we hung out was in august. they had good news for me and i'm so happy for them! this shot of Mabel is very typical her. ha! wagging her finger and telling me what to do... just kidding!
