Been sick . . .

I haven't been sick for at least a year (as far as I can remember), but evidentally singing French Christmas Carols and singing in the Christmas Church Choir has put my voice out of service, making me vulnerable to a cold. It's so hard to keep this gal from talking and singing, so this cold/sore throat has lasted longer than necessary, I'm sure.

The In-laws were over for a visit this weekend and they are such good company. We had a lovely time eating/playing kinect/visiting this weekend. We'll be seeing them again Christmas weekend, which we're all excited about. (Though I'm sad I won't be seeing my parents for the holidays. But, exchanges must be made.)

Today we got free tickets for the Seahawks game and so despite the cold, we bundled up, met up with my dad, and rushed off to see my first football game. Not a bad experience. MUCH more interesting than watching football on TV. But, it was a lil too cold for comfort despite my longjanes, hood, fuzzy socks and full size blanket. I've probably extended my cold, but making my husband happy by going made it worth it. He was pretty thrilled that I was at least somewhat interested in his fav. sport. :P

This week I have off of work, of course, so upcoming will be more Christmas shopping, my first attempt making hard candy, and whatever other nonsense I come up with to entertain myself.

My niece is now 6 months and 3 days old! My how times flies. Here's a darling picture of her and her newest friend, Amy, her mommy's kitty. :) Can't wait to see her and her parents this coming weekend!
