Hey, it's been a while. We've been doing great but very busy with life. Kit is doing wonderful in college (Mimi, she finally gets math and almost likes it now! ) and working part time at the hospital. I've had tons of OT for months (like 3-4 double shifts a week) but now we've hired more people so it's finally getting better. Kit finally got some financial aide so today she got a nice big refund for this past term we already paid for. The smile on her face lights up the room. Especially since it's her birthday. What a nice present.

I'm taking her out for breakfast at our favorite diner, a snowy day at the Timberline Lodge on Mt Hood then a soak in a hot tub, a couple's massage and dinner afterwards at McMenamins Edgefield. She's really been missing snow and the woods lately and has really needed a good massage for a while now. I hope she has a good day.

What do y'all do to keep the cats away from the spinning wheel when you're on the trainer? We've adopted yet another kitty, found him by the dumpster one night. That in itself is a story and a half. I named him Bodhi. Ito'san and him are good buddies. Tiny Harley Quinn smacks him down when he gets wild. Anyway, he feels the need to be a part of everything I do. I'm worried for when I put the roadbike on the trainer in the next few weeks. All ideas are welcome.

I've tried to catch up the best I can on this thread. Many things have happened to us but it's just too much to talk about all in one shot. The main thing is, we are loving life and enjoying each other's company more and more as time goes on. I feel very lucky. I wish the same for the rest of you. I'll check back in more often and say hi. See y'all later and be safe.

Holy Sheep Batman!!! X!!! How's it goin chickadee???? I feel bad sending you messages via your dear on facebook

[Selkie]

It's nice to see you back, X, and to hear the latest on you and Kit. Glad all is going well w/both of you.

Kit is very lucky to have such a wonderful partner---you certainly made sure she had a great b'day!

[Pax]

X!!!! So nice to "see" you! Sounds like life it treating you both well, congrats!

I'm almost done holiday shopping! Still have to figure out something for DBF. I'm thinking maybe a saxophone, but I know nothing about buying one.

[redrhodie]

Ugh, just googled tenor saxophone. Over a $1000. I'll have to look for a used one.

[Crankin]

I did all of my holiday shopping locally and on-line. No trips to the mall. I think I spent more on the Chanukah/Xmas bags to put the gifts in, since wrapping is not my thing... I just have to get my son's gf a gift certificate for a massage, which I will do on Monday.
My 30th anniversary is Tuesday. I just don't see how this could be possible. Right now my DH is transferring our old videos onto CDs and it is just hysterical to watch stuff from a long time ago. Boy, we were seriously style deficient in the eighties!

[OakLeaf]

Welcome back X! Great to see ya. I'd been wondering about you two. Glad everything's going well - good luck with the new kitty.

Holiday shopping? What's that?! If I can get through moving, my husband's birthday and my mom's birthday, I'll be happy.

You might want to give him a check or gift certificate to buy one, I have a couple of musician friends and there seems to be a LOT that goes in to choosing an instrument. One friend went all the way to NYC (from Central IL) to look at a used horn. It all seemed very complicated.

[Tuckervill]

I put a great big sign out on the street that says FREE--Christmas Shopping, and then dug out all the stuff that has been hanging around in the garage and stuff, and put it by the street.

There is so much I can't put out there because it belonged to the boys at one time. I'm sure they'd say, "I don't want that," but I can't take a chance! But it feels good to see people so happy to get stuff for free.
