I am going to try and get back into my blogging. Not sure how long it will last but I am sure I will have lots to blog about soon!!!
This little shit is FULL of energy! Not me, Sadie! She loves to run around with a toy and squeak it. Marley has even began to kind of play with her. Her and Bubba LOVE to chase each other around the yard. Big ole circles!
I had my third violin lesson today. Rusty had gotten me one for Christmas a few years ago, at my request, but I never knew where to get lessons. I was also always afraid they would be too expensive. The high school here in Hays has always had an orchestra program so I knew I wanted to get a hold of them but was still afraid of the price. The orchestra teacher came into my current place of employment and thanks to a co-worker I got signed on. She actually had an opening too! I can now play certain songs like Mary Had A Little Lamb, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Old McDonald and some others. I can actually read the music too. She is impressed with how far I have come in three weeks. Oh, I can also play Jingle Bells! My main goal is to play Amazing Grace. I will have to download the sheet music to it.
My next thing is studying for my license course I will start on the 8th.
Thirdly is exercising.
So, can you guess in which order I prefer to do these things? Probably so. I come home and want to do NOTHING but play violin. Here it is almost 10:00 and I am going to go practice a few songs before bed.
So, that's it for now! Time to go fight the long legged creature for space in bed! And, again, I mean Sadie!!!

Well, this blog is going to be completely out of order but hey....it's a blog.
Apparently this is my Christmas blog too? I don't remember. Anyway, it's backwards so here goes.
Rusty and I at Becca's with Geralyn. I sure am enjoying seeing them every chance I get!!
Now, the following pictures have a LONG story that goes with them but we will skip it. Let's just say I am not too thrilled but it is what it is. This is Sadie, formerly known as Suki. She was hand delivered to our door, not by our wishes. Anywho, she is a 7 month old Italian Greyhound. She is pretty skittish but is coming around. She definitely loves playing with Keiko and she is not quite sure what to do with those long legs of hers. She is definitely not the type of cuddly, furry dog I am used to. In fact, she looked quite alien like at first.
Here's a cute close-up.
Sadie using those long legs of hers.
Jen came to visit and we enjoyed our favorite Chinese together again! Georgia and Kendall joined us but they aren't my children to post pictures of so I'll leave that one off!
We had a heavy, heavy frost on the morning of the 12th. The ONLY reason I remember the date is because it is the day that both Rusty and I took off work and spent gas money to drive to Wichita for my appointment with my neurosurgeon and they had changed my appointment and did not CALL me! I was so mad I cried!!!! Luckily I didn't do the alternative that I grew up to learn which was make a complete ass out of myself by yelling and causing a scene. I at least waited until I was out of the building before the tears of anger came. Anyway, here's a pic of Rusty and the frost. Well, actually, he was dropping some travel bugs on the way down and I had him pose.
Another picture. This does not do it justice.
The fog was so thick you were able to look at the sun at some points. I love when I can do that. Beats getting out the solar shades!
This was Christmas Eve at moms in Moore. The snow drift in front of their door was taller than me! That is me holding my hood up over my head. They got almost 14 inches of snow.
Here's Rusty chillin' at moms with Mister and Marley. We sure do miss him!
This is Mister and I right before his owner's boyfriend picked him up. That's all I'm gonna say about that.
He's a good little guy and I'm glad he got to spend Christmas with people who LOVE dogs!

Just a Little Diddy
I know I still need to upload pics from Christmas and do that whole blog, but I'm going to put it off a little longer.
Here lately..................
We returned Mister to his owners and I am still struggling with that. Especially when the lady at the shelter wonders if she "did the right thing by calling them". HER words people. Great. We got really attached to him as you will see in the pictures I post from Christmas. Rusty even offered to go the local shelter here in town and adopt if I really wanted to. Very, very sweet of him.
Several months back I posted a blog about being deserving of things. How some who don't want get, some who don't need get, those who are really selfish and conceited about it get, and those who really want can't get. Well, I am happy to report that my friend "S" is due in May!! So, so, so happy for her! And you think it's all about me. ;o)
Rusty and I had a great New Years. We went to eat Chinese, went to Wal-Mart for some much needed staple items, and then home to play games and watch TV. We had sparkling grape juice at midnight and then at 12:05 we finally went to bed! Yep, party animals we are.
That's about the extent of it, in a nutshell that is. Of course there is the whole blizzard in Oklahoma and Christmas to post about but I'm going to let it wait. I really do have things to take care of around the house...............if I'll just get up and do them. Later.

Another One Bites The Dust
We have made it through the "Blizzard of 2009" in Oklahoma, made it through 3 family Christmases (one got canceled due to the blizzard), returned a dog we found to their owners, and made it home in time to unpack and enjoy a fire. Yes, there is much more to blog about and many pics to post but it will have to wait. I have to be to work at 7:30 in the morning!
Blessed am I and thankful for all that I have.
