I got the job I wrote about in the last post. I like the work. I don't particularly like some of the corporate practices of the company I work for. I love the people I work with. I hate the commute. So its been good and bad - as is all in life.
I can't believe how fast the year flew by. On Friday, my little girl will be 5 years old. She's getting to be such a person, with a whole personality and everything. I thought I knew all about her, but everyday she surprises me with aspects of herself of which I was unaware. She's a kind and loving girl. She wants to be a Princess Supergirl when she grows up. I'm not sure what the job market is for that profession, but I'm sure she'll do just fine. She loves her little brother. She finally knows that my last name isn't "Pickle". She's left-handed and smart. And she can read a lot better than she realizes. Right now, she's trying to ride the dog. That's my girl!
I perfected pumpkin pie & pumpkin bread from scratch this year. One pie pumpkin will make 2 pies and 3 loaves of bread. (I put that in there for myself - I'll need a reminder next fall.)
I think I grew up a lot this year. And I got a lot older. That's not necessarily a good thing.
This next year I need to do some things for me. Get myself organized and in order. Its time. I need to get control of some things that I can control and not be subservient to them anymore. I want to do something worthwhile and memorable before I'm too old. I'm tired of not living life to the fullest.
Merry Christmas!
