December 13-14th

It's been a really busy week at work and home so I am way behind here. Also, when I went online Monday night I saw something that caused my brain to liquify and drain down my nose and throat. We will be caught up by Monday.

Oh, and because of the subject shared by some of these posts, I'll be putting the very sweet little story that I missed last week at the bottom to cheer you up. The faint of heart may want to just skip to that one. Also, those of you with mentally prepared rants may want to type them out before reading the last one.
