Happy Holidays

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Three Kings Day??

I was at Walmart today getting my grocery shopping done, and apparently there is a Mexican? holiday that we are totally not celebrating--three kings day. It makes sense and all, but why would I want my picture taken with three creepy Walmart dressed up at the three kings of orienet?I was getting my produce, and a women with a camera kept asking me if I wanted to get a picture of McKay with these men.

I was so utterly confused because I didn't know what the holiday was until my smart husband informed later that day when I got home.I just think that maybe we are trying to drag the holidays out a little too long.

ANYWAYS...I've been doing some reflecting about 2008. It always seems to happen that way, I wait a whole year to realize how stupid I've been..Here are some things I've learned:

1. Relationships are better than jobs. No matter how much money you make, and how many things you accomplish at the end of the day its always nice to have someone to talk to. I'm not really speaking about Malcolm, I'm talking about friends. So--to all my long lost friends. (i.e. Sarah and Branigan) I'm sorry that I fell off the face of the planet with this SOle ENvy business! I'm going to try and do better.

2. You will always regret the mean things you say--even if it those mean things were well deserved. This year has been very stressful and eventful, and I only regret one day. The day I blew up at a friend. Man, she deserved it, but I feel terrible.

3. Kids are the shizzle BEST! I love my baby who is not so much a baby anymore. I love his hugs and his kisses and his smiles and his mischeif! McKay is a little hellion now, but I just LOVE HIM! I can't believe how incomplete my life was for so long. I'm so glad I have the opportunity to be a mom. I know that I will always have this urge to work work work and have a career, but you just can't replace the moment you have with your kids.

4. I HAVE THE BEST HUSBAND EVER! i know all the other women in the world think that, but I really do. How great is it to have a husband, a best friend, and a business partner all in one person!


5. There is always room for improvement. My birthday is on the fifth, and I'm so glad that I have another year to improve and become a better person. Twenty Two feel really old, and heavens I don't want to get older, but a wise friend told me in my despair, that "I'm not getting younger, So I might as well enjoy the young age while I can." So thats what I'm going to do!

So...you live and you learn! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
