this & that

i have a bunch of random things to share, so when that happens … i choose this & that for a blog title… i’m not stealing the title from our new bloger, melisseR, she actually has to pay me royalties everytime she updates her blog 🙂

* on a sad note, my grandmother passed away friday. she was on my stepmothers side of the family, who is now an ex-step… but my grandmother and grandfather mccormack always kept in touch with me, they were at my highschool graduation, and wrote me letters every christmas and birthday…. her health was up and down the past couple weeks… but it is still sad, and you immediately regret not being in touch more :*(

* last night the {creative chicks} got together for our holiday gathering at acapulco’s as melissa pointed out on her blog.. i am lucky enough to be one of their top 20 friends 😉 must be all those crazy birthday pics i have in my myspace photo album 🙂 i got one of those snazzy wreaths from my bff, melissa ( the cutest one of course) and erin, melissA and melissER gave me a gift certificate towards my watcher tattoo….. that certainly was a tear jerker 🙂

* i have started my holiday cards… all 90 of them 🙂 i’ll post a pic of the progress, but can’t show much… they are SOO perfect for how my 2007 has played out!!
