It has been quite an interesting day. We were supposed to go up to Muncie to see little Miss Renate, the beautiful young daughter of my cousin who is 1 today…..but the day exploded and we were not able to make it up. She lives in Washington DC, so we will not see her for a while, but since she is 1, maybe it’s better she’s there. The government certainly could use the mind of a 1 year old, because they seem a mess right now. Plus Renate is family, so I am sure she would do a great job…..after all, she is quite cute!

Other than that trip that didn’t happen not much has gone on. After everyone was in bed, and Scott came home from work, he and I did sneak out to the Target so he could look at a few things. He is pretty funny. He wants to drive and then suddenly he is too tired to drive. So I tell him I am too old to drive and he pulls into a Speedway station taking a path that only a pro could take……this was not his first rodeo. He ran in and came out with a iced Mountain Dew that barely fit into my car. Only Scott could sleep after that kind of caffeine jolt. It woke me up just looking at it.

I really wanted to go to the party, but what can you do? Tomorrow is another day and tomorrow, in addition to it being the last day of 2009, will be Ben’s first day on skates. Yep, Scotty and I are taking him out…much to his mom’s horror. But I skate better than I walk, and Steph and Scott were taught by me and skate very well. Ben is fearless…..we will see what he does! For now however, my day is done!

Goodnight my friends and God Bless.
