Auld Lang Syne

Wow, it's been a LONG time since I added to the blog. The last couple of months have been crazy. Drowned in papers . . . I was about to give up, plead that I had no more words left. But, I persevered, and ended up with 3 As. 4.0!

Plus, I made four altered objects (three books, one shadow box) for coworkers for Christmas. Now that Christmas and the attendant cooking and preaching are done, I am working on massive cleanup projects in the house. Got the bedroom rearranged and am working on those disreputable bookshelves in the living room. Isn't that mundane? Should one post something like that on one's blog? A blog is something like a verbal reality show, so I guess that even the everyday gets included.

New year's resolutions? Nah. Goals, maybe. Graduate is at the top of the list. Find a new employment situation. (Best of all would be NO employment, but one has to eat.) Lose this weight. Go on the driving trip I wanted to do last year. Planning to attend the JASNA AGM in Fort Worth in October. Planning to attend Diakonia in July in OKC. If I can shake this cough and congestion, I'll be happy. This week was the first time I had to go to the dr. in seven months! That's a record for me. DH is sicker than I am, which worries me.

The dogs are barking at the neighbors' fireworks. It's going to be a long couple of nights.

And today is my youngest's birthday. No more teenagers!
