Spirits are high as Christmas approaches but patience are still tested and as a result we are still spending a lot of time laying low {when not in time outs…} We’ve been trying to sneak in some Christmas crafts, baking and of course Christmas tunes as moods allow.  I am disappointed in myself as I really haven’t been enjoying Christmas movies as I wish I had. 

I have decided to engage in a totally frustrating self induced project and after spending two, going on three full nights with no success, I am about to give up!  Maybe I should also mention that I am watching Ms. Universe feeling quite bad about the fact that swim suits no longer come in my size.  Uggh.  Dinner was an utter failure and I guess I should have called it a night after the dinner flop but I am bound and determined to teach myself to use Adobe InDesign.  What started as a simple project where I needed to resize a document has turned into too many lost hours.  This is my last go and as I write, I wait to see if my document will successfully upload {a painfully slowwwww process..}.  I’m keeping my expectations low.  It’s safer that way :)  In the meantime, I’ll share a few photos from our tree hunt that got lost in the Christmas shuffle.

PS – Isn’t it amazing how inspiring the Biggest Loser Ads are?  One flashed on the screen and I am now feeling motivated to enter a marathon or something.  Wishful thinking but man oh man, I want that kind of determination!

PPS – Don’t worry, I haven’t lost sight of the fact that I am so very blessed just having a pity party kind of night :)
