“Have you ever been just too dang busy?”

That was this wig wearing announcers opening question as he attempted to give me the lowdown on why I needed to buy x vitamin pill that is not sold in stores and was 109.99 a bottle. Of course he was on channel 99 and I was just cruzing past his infomercial and I am sure he would have cut me a deal if I would have called within the next 15 min. My excuse was I was just too tired to go to the phone. It is a vicious cycle.

You know what else is a vicious cycle. No ladies I am not going there. If I were to, they have drugs now (Vitamin X) that are supposed to make the Cycle “Not so Vicious”! No, I am talking about the fact that it is Christmas all over again. I just was done with the last one. Although it does seem like forever that, I have seen my Grandma B. I miss my other Grandparents too but Grandma B called the other night to tell me tat she wanted a back rub for Christmas. That was so sweet.

You know what I miss the most about the goings on of Christmas Past. It is my cousin April.

You know that person you are kin to that makes you think” you know we are not all strange. She just sent me some new pictures of her baby. Makes me want one. She and I have remained the best of friends even though we last saw each other August 2003 for a span of a day. We went running around Washington DC for the day. We irreverently ran through the art museums we would have loved to stay all day. We were trying to lap up all the life we could from that day. It was as if we knew it would be a while before we could all be together again. She is going to be spending this Christmas in New England and again I will miss her. Here are some pictures of she and I as children.

Oh yeah and i shaved the beard. It was bugging me and i did not want to frighten the kids at Christmas. Last years had to come off too. no big deal i can think hard and it grows back.
