On The Twelve Days of Christmas, My True Love Gave To Me!
Okay, seriously you could fit all of this into that song pretty much and it would make sense. The reason I'm becoming thrilled that 2009 is about to beat it is because I'm so busy with my last-minute doctors and I want it all to stop. At any given time I have the following open on my desktop:
Inbox
approx 7 emails
approx 3 new messages I have created and am working on simultaneously
2 Databases
Excel Spreadsheet for people not in my database
Online I have 3 windows open so I can flop between applications. If I close one out, then I might forget to do something. I don't even get a second to jot down a note and I just continue opening more until I get a breather (yea, right...a breather) to get all the work entered and saved before closing the app.
I also have open a window for our Data entry site for Key Cases and am constantly flipping between screens that are excruciatingly slow to load.
Archive files on all 1500 doctors I single-handedly track for Board Re-Certification.
I'll be on the phone with a doctor begging and pleading to make an exception to the rule, while another is on hold waiting to present me with his contention for the same. 4 or 5 Messages will begin piling up waiting my return phone call.
And lastly...gmail so I can see when my love emails me just to say hi and that Oliver peed on the floor. It just makes my day and feels like a total escape into normalcy.
Thanks you and back to the grind!

ChristMAS!
I say "MAS" because we had two Christmases this year! Gammy is great with her traditions, so thankfully I stayed out of view for nearly all of these shots! You wake up promptly at 7 and run out in your jammies to see what Santa put out (i mean stayed up until 1am arranging!). It's not the lack of make-up, it's my wild hair and half open eyes that don't paint the best picture. I dig the candid shots of the kids though. Total Hams!
Christmas at our house was so relaxing. I felt like I had a longer vacation since we weren't fighting traffic on the road. Kiran got movies: Labyrinth, The Never Ending Story, and Up. She got a ring and other little things...and both kids got bikes! You can't just buy one of them a bike, do you know what trouble we'd be in?! Anyways, they loved them and Kiran is already doing great on hers. They were a real pleasure to put together, let me tell you. Or let Dally tell you! <3 Thanks Dally!
Our Christmas Dinner, which we shared with my brother Jason and his two kids Trinity (aka Monkey) and Trason (aka Tacoon) was abounding in flavor and I'm craving it every single day now.
************************
Lemon, Leek, and Mushroom Risotto
Hazelnut and Chard Ravioli Salad
Warm Red Cabbage Salad (w/brown sugar, raisins, toasted sesame seeds and spices)
Green Beans flavored with dill and other things
Delicious Rolls
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
1 of my gifts from Dally. It's a vintage owl votive holder that opens at the mouth and has glowing amber eyes. I also got two amazing vintage purses and even some antique rings from my brother. They're awesome and all I got him was a Tegan and Sarah CD. :-/
If only you could see this with all the presents we took to Dallas added to it!!!

Eve of Christmas
Well I don't have any of the really rad pictures of Dallas Christmas to share with you just yet, but I do have something to hold you over.
I have to work today, yes on Christmas Eve! And I'll actually be about 8 times busier than any normal day.I haven't decided if this is a good or bad thing. I can tell you that I've gone off on a couple of doctors this week and I have no regrets. :-)
"Dally" is home with the kids today (cleaning house, ahem! - joke)and finally kiki rolls outta bed. The first thing she asked was "where's mom?" because perhaps I forgot to announce that i'd be working on Christmas Eve. Dally took the oppertunity to mess with her a little bit in his response, "Who's mom? What are you talking about?". Remember folks, not only are the perceptions of a 5 year old a little skewed, but she also just woke up and was attempting to use her foggy, distorted little brain that was definitly still in bed. "You know, mom, who dries our hair every day?"
Thats my koops at her best. I say that because I just laughed out loud so hard at work. Oh but wait, it doesn't matter, I'M THE ONLY ONE HERE. Why do I get the bad end of the stick when it comes to this job? :-/
Merry Christmas Everyone!
