I Can See Clearly Now

the rain is gone. I can see all obstacles in my way. Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind. It's going to be a bright, bright sunshiny day. Look straight ahead nothing but blue skies.

Can't you just hear the music now?

You Go Girl

and take those tacky shoes with you!

One Day, long, long ago, there lived a woman who did not whine, nag, or bitch.

But it was a long time ago, and it was just that one day.

The End

Merry Christmas

Jim and Teri hosted Christmas this year! Had a yummy dinner and yes there were the infamous "dill rolls" served.

The twins with their new soccer balls. Go All Stars!

Dad and Kyle with the Traveling Shirt.

Jim and Spencer. Also known as "Specam"

A Christmas Carol

Chelsea was given an incredible Christmas gift this year as she was offered a role in "A Christmas Carol" at the Granada Theatre in Santa Barbara.

Chelsea played the role of "Belle", who was Scrooge's fiancee.

Our entire family went to the Christmas Eve performance. Great way to start off the Holiday!

It was a wonderful opportunity and Chelsea loved every single moment!

I'm a Dork

Chelsea called me a "dork" today.

I will accept that as a term of endearment.
Didn't we all think our parents were "dorks" when we were teenagers?

Thank you Ellen

Wendy and I won tickets to attend the "12 Days of Christmas Giveaway" show.

We won a $100 American Express Gift Card.

A $300 pair of Karl Lagerfeld sunglasses.

A $400 strand of pearls from Ice. com

A "wave" skateboard

A gift set of Tocca candles, soaps and lotions

A $700 Tourneau Mens Watch (what the hell am I gonna do with this?)

$1700.00 worth of prizes. One prize went to my nephew. Two are for sale on Ebay. One I wear around my neck, one I haven't spent yet and I just lit the candles tonight!

The whole day was a blast and such a treat to see Ellen!
