Busy Winter So Far!

Well, Christmas has come and gone, Emma made out like a bandit as per usual! Dave and Emma had a wonderful time in New Mexico for 5 days after Christmas, visiting family and eating good Mexican food! I stayed behind and did my photo albums (all up to date now!) and cleaned out our closets (yes, they look like The Gap now, all color coded and neatly folded!) Those who know me well, understand my organizational OCD issues! Jan 1st was upon us in no time, and Emma turned 7 years old! She is getting to be such a grownup young lady now! Dave (finally) turned 40 on Jan 5th, that same day he flew to Sweden, where he is now till the 10th. Then add in back to school, horse lessons and back to gymnastics lessons, and we are a crazy busy bunch! We did manage to get some ice skating in at the flooded bogs on Sat, we had COLD, COLD weather, the week before, high of 9 degrees! But today was 65, and the geese are back swimming at the bogs!

I am starting back up with the doctor appts this month....I have to see my surgeon and my oncologist at The BI in Boston, of course 2 different days. Then back to see my radiation oncologist at Jordan Hospital in Plymouth. Then why not, just add in a primary care check up and a dentist appt for a old filling that is coming loose!! The fun never stops!

My friend Kristin (Hi Kristin!!) and I....she spells her name the same (correct way) I do and we have the same OCD issues, O.R. nurse from CHMC, very much alike in many ways, it is scarey....are now workout buddies at the YMCA! We have been spinning like mad about 3-5 days a week, depending on schedules. And we hired a personal trainer, Tyson, for 2 days a week and he has been kicking our butts into shape! We feel so much better! I had to go buy new workout wear, which is not a problem, since I have a new shelf in the closet dedicated just to that area! (My medication does not help with the OCD as you can tell!)

Will add some photos from the holidays.....wishing all a great 2008! Mine has to be better than 2007! I am off tomorrow to get another 'trim' of the hair, it is growing like a weed!! Thick like before too! Yeah! I think I may be getting my same hair back! So that is good b/c I really liked my old hair! Leaving it salt and pepper colored for now.
