A vacation.
We've been planning for a two week vacay in January but through an endless series of costly follies we've been unable to book-it. We've been telling DD for months now that we're going, I'd really hate to dissappoint herPoor girl has been in daycare for 52 weeks in a row. We all need a break.
I'm planning on a low-key Christmas. Mom's been out of work since last December, so I know their finances are stretched to the breaking point. Since I know dad will insist we have something to open, I'm going to ask for a large folding table, as I keep having to borrow theirs. I plan on giving out my homemade jams, breads, soaps, sauces and pastas. I wish I had money to give them, but I barely scrape by as it is.
I wish peace, health, and happiness to all of you. This year has had it's ups and downs for me, and I have a feeling next year will be worse while we deal with several elderly family members.
I'll be going to this store

It always bothers DH that I never know what I want for Christmas. Too me, I have pretty much everything I want and or need. Sitting here I can't think of anything I need. Call me crazy.
Christmas came pretty early and in a big way
<---
Earlier this year my DH's grandma died. She left her kids a nice bit of money. Before my MIL received her inheritance she had already told me that she'd like to buy me a bike. She and my hubby (and my late FIL) are big time into cycling and have been nosing me in that direction for years.
I also had my diamond reset. I lost significant weight about 5 years ago and have kept it off, so my wedding set hadn't fit right in years. I had been wearing an ugly and uncomfortable spacer to keep from losing it. Plus I didn't really care for the original setting and it was impossible to clean under the stone, so we had my diamond remounted.
Hubby and I are going on our first trip since our honeymoon for our anniversary (12/28/96) this year, too. I've never been to Vegas and DH wants to show me Death Valley, so that will be really nice in December when it's cold, snowy, and dreary here.
2009 is finishing on a really high note for me. Only fair since DH and I were both sick on New Year's Day with tonsil and sinus garbage.
Here's to a better 2010 for those who had a rough year.
