It's Complicated

I went to see the movie "It's Complicated" today. It's a great movie about divorced parents getting back together 10 years post divorce for an affair. Reminded me of my life...not the affair part, but the "dealing with divorce" part. This couple has grown children that still are adjusting to their parent's divorce. It's true to life. And...Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin Rock! I love Alec Baldwin. He's one of my fav guys and I adore his acting and cuteness. Sweet!

It's a good movie that is honest and shows how one's decisions in life affect all of those around you. I think my ex-husband needs to see this flick! Something to think about...

Christmas 2009 has come and now is going. Another year of memories and smiles with a few tears thrown in for good measure. All goes together to make us who we are. It was a beautiful sunny day on the Oregon Coast today. Up early to Mom's to unwrap gifts, then to my brother's for dinner. Home now for a quiet moment to reflect and then off to watch movies at Mom's.

I haven't been faithful in blogging lately. Somehow I just couldn't get to it. I have no idea why. It's just something inside that did not want to put the words on paper. I promise myself that I will be more faithful and update more often.

My two children, Chris and Lesley are the joys of my life. They have turned into two fine young people. Lesley's boyfriend, Chad is a fine young man and I am thankful for him in my daughter's life. Life has not always been so fine. My kids have had their ups and downs and it's been a long road, but with the years have come some maturity and they are my blessings. I love being with them and being a part of their lives.

Christmas Break is half over. I've spent the first half preparing for today and now I have another week off to relax and work on some art projects. I want to "play" with dominoes, polymer clay and design work. My goal is to create inventory for my new Etsy store site: Boxcar Annie. I'm also vowing to become more organized and have less baggage. I'm paring down and keeping what is really important to me and letting go of some of the things that no longer hold any use for me.

I hope your Christmas was special. It's never perfect...but it's all good. May God Bless You All!
