Slightly frustrated...

First thank you to everyone for their good wishes after my last post! I am doing well and looking forward to my days off and my brother and niece visiting! But here's my frustration.....all my posts have turned into capitals....I didn't write them that way..... does anyone have any ideas or is it just a blogger thing today?? Anyway I'm not shouting LOL......See everyone in a few days and again thanks again!

Edited to add: I think I may have fixed it! I'm off to the airport to pick up my niece!!!

I am thankful for my stitching friends!!!!!

Chain of Friends

I found this on my friend Carolyn's blog. Please copy the verse and photo for your blog and carry on the chain of friendship! Leave a comment so we can all follow the chain!

Holding Hands

This picture shows a line of little girls holding hands facing the immensity of ocean waves.

Alone they might be washed away, but together they stand strong.

Thank you for holding my hand somewhere along the way when I was facing a wave of my own.

I hope you will reach for my hand when your own wave threatens.

All of us girls...

Old and young...

Near and far...

Hold special memories of good times we've shared.

We've had our share of hard times when our friends were there to make us feel better.

We've shared...

our hearts

our times

our secrets

our fears

our hopes

and

our dreams.

Let us never break the chain of friends!

I am grateful for my friends and the support they have given me throughout the years...........

Merry Christmas

I just want to start by saying thanks to Jymisgurl ,Jamie ,Karen ,Duncan and Vonna for all of their kind words of support about my last post about my friendship troubles. I'm tired and past it and it seems she won't see any side but her own . I've decided to do nothing till after the holidays when I've had some rest and perspective. Even then I'm not sure it can be mended or that I want to mend it...too much hurt has happened already and the trust is gone and I'm just plain angry. It's sad really when you think about it. But enough of that!

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!!! The good news is that DH is completely well!!! It was a reaction to the new medicine which happens in like 1-2% of the population....I always knew he was special... So we are going to NY. It'll be a whirlwind but I am so looking forward to it. I miss my family and am so looking forward to seeing them! I am packing and wrapping a few presents that stay here today. Then work tomorrow and I've already put in to get out early if at all possible. And to the airport....I'm still hoping to see Santa from the plane window....yes I do believe!!! So this may be the last post till I get home on friday night unless I can sneak one in but that's doubtful....and DH still won't say what wednesday night in the city surprise is.....I'm not great at surprises never was...must be a childhood thing. Again everyone have a wonderfully Merry Christmas and may Santa fulfill all of your dreams!!!!

I am grateful that hubby feels so much better!

A few thoughts...

Just a quick post before I really do go downstairs to stitch....I'm pretty sure a friendship of mine has ended and it makes me sad but not really. That may not make any sense but it does in my head.......this "friend" said a really rude thing to my husband and never really apologized for it, kind of just said "I didn't mean it that way". This was a few months ago and its been weighing on me and she just doesn't get it or want to get it. And as of late has been acting more like my mother (I already have a mother thank you) than a friend and I really don't need that either.....Is that as clear as mud now....Not a fun thing to write about at Christmas time but I guess I needed to vent.

This week has been a bit busy with trying to get ready for the NY trip. DH is sick, we have been to 2 doctors....it is either a really bad stomach flu or a reaction to a new stomach medicine. He feels better today but the 2nd doc did bloodwork just to be sure and switched the meds around. They both feel he'll be able to fly!!! Just lots of rest and fluids and TLC! Can I say I'm tired.....while he rested this afternoon before the doctors I managed a visit to my LNS......yes I know nobody is really surprised. I picked up two charts and a bit of hand dyed fabric. I'll post pictures after I return from NY. Tonight it's laundry and stitching! And oh we never did get a tree not even a table top one. I went to Target but didn't like their selection. If I'm ahead of schedule on saturday I may go to the plant store and see what they have to offer. If I get anything I'll post a picture. I plan on wrapping presents and packing on saturday so I can just pop home on sunday after work and change and such and we can head to the airport!!!! I am so homesick right now that it'll be good to be home and see everyone!

I am grateful to be able to fly home for Christmas with my husband and be with our families!
