Onward to "Happy~Happy" now

I was going to attach a top picture, but the only option I use for it is "from my computer". 

The click then tells me "This webpage not available". 

Not to be outdone by a mere machine, I will just have to try later...

Merry 2 days after Christmas to everyone! And please bear with me for a while...

That I have no idea what the heck I am doing is putting it gently. Mostly I stare at this machine and wonder what to do next...

I have uploaded a few pics to Flickr and will share them with you-

Santa Claus brought me a new computer, so I am not sure I'll even be able to blog. 

Even the light~up keyboard has me puzzled at times. 

No worries, I shall try to blog anyway...  hehehe

First our Punkmeister...

"Sandy Paws" brought her a new Frisbee!

 ~ ~ ~Which she promptly got stuck to her face!!!  hehehe

She also received some new tennis balls, and 2 new tug toys. 

And NONE of them squeak! (YAY)! 

Oh! She LOVES to play! For her sake, I wish my back was better again, and I could be a better friend to her.

Casey and Greg stayed overnight on Christmas Eve. 

I woke about 3 on Christmas morning. First, I was unable to go back to sleep, then I was afraid to- (in case I miss something you know)! 

Casey came down with pain, about 6- Greg followed shortly thereafter. 

We decided not to stare at the tree any longer, and made tracks to open the presents that Santa had brought! 

Casey and Greg showing off their matching new coffee cups!

Casey showing off her new "Kindle" ! 

With 500 books too!

Greg said he HAD to play Santa on this one... Seems as though he thinks with all the books that Casey reads, he will be able now to save tons of room in their apartment for other things - besides all those books!!!

Greg got a homemade apron, along with some cooking utensils. These all, for our new outdoor grill, (which we don't have yet).  It will be one of the first things on my wish list when we get our duplex though... 

Mmmmm.... (I can't wait)!

Jennifer sent pictures of the boys, and as soon as I figure out where the scanner is depositing scanned pics I will share those with you too.

And oh my! Little Wyatt looks just like me when I was one, minus my curls! I threaten to tear up every time I look at that picture! My man, Isaiah, is just as handsome as ever, looking very much like his mom!

Great DNA here!  (When Greg was doing the 'face matching' on the iPhoto, it brought up all my girls as myself, AND Wyatt and Gabriel too!

I called off my 24th annual Christmas brunch this year, having no ability to stand in the kitchen long enough to get food made, and everyone fed. 

I received word 4 days ago that I have 3 new fractures in my spine. (No damn wonder I have been in so very much pain of late)!?!

I am not sure what will happen, given that my back is inoperable. But I will put up, and (try to) shut up, as long as I can still move around a bit.

OK. that "shut up" thing is not going to work... hehehe  So here's a thought. If you don't want to listen to me b*tch about my back, then you should not be on my pages.

They are thinking on doing some shots again to my back, just to make things easier for me, for a while. We will set up an appointment after the 1st to figure that out. After that, there is that "tens?" option, which I will have to check into to refresh my memory- Is that the thing that one wears for electrical currents? 

Buying that duplex is quickly becoming a necessity.

We had a wonderful, quiet, day- We went back to bed, to nap, and were all surprised that we slept soundly for as long as we did. Waking early~afternoon, we made "breakfast", pigged out a bit, and were almost ready to call it a night when Randy showed up. (His belly, honestly, showing kudos to his own mama's good cooking. - And I thought gluttony was a sin)!? hehehe

Greg transferred all my pictures onto this computer. That there are over 50,000 surprised no one but him. This new program, iPhoto, will take a bit for me to figure out, but it is the first thing I went to also. hehehe

I did this one...

Not sure how I did it; but I think it's cool, and am proud of myself for it!

After a long day, Casey and Greg made their way home- Our presents were put away, and it was high time for me to get to sleep.

Just like Punk-

Miss Kelli stopped by yesterday bearing gifts- (I feel like such a chintz sometimes)- She brought some grand lemony candles and sprinkles and even some drains stuff in lemon. With that kind of inspiration, I have already mopped my floors this morning, using my lemon pine sol. I am also on my 3rd load of wash. 

For now it is high time for me to get cleaned up too.

Our "Merry Merry" was grand- Onward to "Happy Happy" now!

I hope everyone had a 'wunnaful' magical Christmas, no matter how you celebrated. 

How did you celebrate, by the way?

My love to all!

XOXO

Me

PS

I have to thank everyone that did send me a card! 
We did finally get to the post office, late as usual... 
If you sent me a card you will have one shortly. I promise. 

PPS
On a related note...

Did you know that if you are disabled and cannot get to your mailbox that the postman has to deliver your mail to your door every day? I had the doctor write up an order for me as soon as I had learned that- 

This came about after finally calling the US Postal Service to complain about having to have my mailbox plowed out 3 times last week, and only getting my mail one day...

I asked her how cleaned out my yard has to be for him to come in (after having had my box plowed out 3 times, not cheap, and he still would not deliver)- 

She told me it did not matter-  that he HAS TO walk it to my door- 

Then she recited their "rain, snow, sleet" motto to me.

Music to my ears! 

(But I do wonder why that doesn't apply to the mailbox out there)?

Sometimes it helps to complain a bit!

Now all I have to do is get all my papers sent to the postmaster in GB. 

Very very cool
