i am alive

i know i've been mia, but things have been....busy here. i got all my swap stuff sent out, but haven't heard if they've been received or not. i may have to send out new ones if they haven't. so what have i been doing??? well, i made my first pair of slippers and they turned out way cute. the hubby and i celebrated ten years of matrimony. then there was christmas, new year's, and national training for finch. trust me each of those is entitled to its own blog, but time today is short. we survived all of them and came out better for them. i got a new sienna minivan and i am beyond happy to be mobile again. i also got to see the twilight movie, and was a wee bit disappointed. had i seen it before i read the book it wouldn't have been so bad, but i just hate it when a book gets mutilated. i am still batteling whatever it is that has been irritating the sinuses for the past few months. it gets better and then worse, so who knows. most of you who read this wee bit of a blog have already heard that come may there will be a baby boy in the family of finch. daddy is stoked about passing on his name. well, the wee one calls, so hopefully i wil post more later.
