well, not so much on the walk, actually. i just took the dog out and i'm pretty sure it's -250 degrees outside.
so anyway, clearly i have been slacking on the blogity situation lately, but as i am the one among us with no kids, i will use that as my excuse for not having very exciting news. and as i find myself killing time until i get to talk to my husband (hopefully), i will just rant and rave about whatever comes to mind and you must sift through my ramblings to find cohesion.
this last week or so has brought some pretty awesome readings at Mass. i LOVE the liturgy for the immaculate conception and just when i sit in the pew and think to myself "this is my most favorite liturgy EVER!", along comes the 2nd reading this last sunday. my priest did a really great homily centered around the idea of "rejoice always!". truly, that is a beautiful thought. rejoice always. in all things be thankful for this is the will of God. how's that for a message of everyday situations? i just love it. i have found myself growing closer to God lately, and especially Mary. the last several months have been trying and have really helped me to center my life. i'm very glad to have a focus and i'm very glad that that focus involves God. so thanks to all my inspiring friends who have been close to God all along.
i'm not sure what's happening with my health. i have been getting bad headaches again, and i just went to the eye doctor last month so i know that's not it. i am afraid to go back to the neurologist. as it is, i'm not fond of the medication i already have because while it is necessary and i am glad to have it, i dont know that i will be able to continue with it when we are trying for a baby. so likewise, while i want my problem to be fixed, i dont want to be put back on another pill that might cause me complications down the line. in the mean time, i take generic headache medicine which doesnt do much at all and i avoid social interaction.
i put a deposit on the vacation of the century today. i had a bit of a freak out though. $2100 for 5 nights at a disney resort, food, and park tickets. yet to be paid: plane tickets, 2 nights near jacksonville, rental car, universal park tickets. i should be able to keep costs very close to the $3000 i promised charles. but regardless, we are both so rediculously excited about our trip that i dont think it will matter much.
so thanksgiving was cool. i took a couple of pictures but they are mostly of charles' family, the dogs, and pie. i will do better at christmas with the picture taking, especially since i am losing weight and have a nice hair cut.
