it's been crazy busy around here lately, sorry about leaving a lame post about the biggest loser up for over a week. i have been trying to get all my work done so i can enjoy my mom's visit next week (she flies in tomorrow) and it seems as soon as i think i'm catching up, an old job comes bouncing back to demand some of my attention. such is the way with copy revisions.

anywhoo, this is pretty much just a shout-out to my peeps and my peepers. i have a lot to be happy about lately. here is the list, in no particular order.

1. my sweet, awesome, wonderful grandma had hip surgery on monday and seems to be doing well. it was her first surgery in her entire life, and she took it like a champ.

2. work continues to pile into my world, from all kinds of crazy places. i think i may be adding more harley-davidson dealerships to the mix (from utah and nevada). whoo hoo. i will probably never ride one of those things, but they sure are fun to write about.

3. my kids have been two little eddie haskells lately. very kind, overly polite and doing things as i ask them. i'm wondering what they have up their sleeves.

4. the husband continues to be adorable.

5. i am in a bible study that i LOVE and have realized (again) that God is even more adorable than the husband. thank you bible study girls.

6. ski trip to montana is just around the corner.

7. which means spring is close behind.

8. which also means i can officially dust off the bike and start taking long rides with my good friend sara. there is no better therapy. not that either one of us need it...he he.

9. did i mention my mom is coming?

10. and she loves to paint and decorate.
