Merry Christmas!

Well, there are only 4 more sleeps until Christmas! This whole year seems to have gone by really fast! Have you noticed that as you get older time flies by much faster? It hardly gives you time to count your blessings! I've had a really good year - and I hope for another good year to come. Lately I've been really busy with work, and have had a lot of extra responsibilities. I'd like to think that I've risen to the challenge, though at times it has been really tiring, frustrating, and stressful!
I have, as of late, been experiencing a little bit of roommate frustration as well. We get along well, but she doesn't really contribute a whole lot to the household chores. She does a pretty good job of keeping the kitchen clean, but every couple of weeks I have to remind her that we have to clean the house too! I'm getting tired of always taking phone messages for her since she's never home! I feel bad when her mom calls and I always have to tell her that her daughter isn't home. I wish she would look around the house once in a while and see what needs to be done, then do it! Please actually put the toilet paper roll on the dispenser! Please take your recycling out to the box! Please take out the garbage! Now I know what my mother was complaining about all those years . . . Sigh . . .
