It's beginning to look a lot like....

It's Christmas Eve day 2008. 2009 is around the corner and time is flying by, as usual. I am no further along in my understanding of My Space workings, but between the old one, the new one, facebook, classmates, and the Delran alumni site, I am happily finding out what's going on with current and old time friends. Fun!










Being home for a few months instead of traveling constantly has been quite a change of pace, but the classes I've taken and things I've learned were well worth it. Too bad for H&R Block I will be gone for much of the tax season, but FL, the cruise, and HI were planned first. Aloha! :-)

I've been continuing the HRBlock classes, working at CONTACT, had dinner with Sandy and the BCEA officers, enjoyed Jill's Chanukah brunch with the Commans (including the MA branch) and Ann and Ted (newly returned from their Panama cruise). I started getting "adjusted" at Dr. Bidwell's and have never felt straighter!!! Tom had a 300 game in one of his bowling leagues recently (awesome!!). We were sorry to miss Caitlin's college graduation party, but are very proud of her (and our Oliver musical star, Jasmine, on another front). I stopped in to see my DMS friends and wish them and all a very happy holiday, wonderful vacation, and super New Year 2009! (And have a great cruise, Margie and company!)

Lucky week-end

The luckiest part was winning the basket from Dr. Bidwell's drawing. It was from the Women's Expo ...weeks ago. The first person they drew the name of never responded, so I got it instead!
The other lucky thing was even though the H&R Block orientation was extra long and in Lawrenceville instead of Delran, I still made it to the Bidwell Open House in time to enjoy a great massage, a tour, some snacks, good company, and bring home my prize and a balloon snowman!
Backtracking a bit, I had fun with Sigma, singing carols and giving out presents at Innova on Friday. The holiday party on the 2nd was so moving and emotionally uplifting! We danced on Wed. and Thursday at Prospectors.
Today, Sue resurrected Velvet Crumb Cake family memories for us, and I look forward to making it for Tom.
I'm pretty sure Jennifer survived Jassy's birthday overnight gig, and happy birthday, Cody!
Tomorrow the Block sessions start up again. Should be fun!
