7:18 PM

7:18 shines brightly on my cable box.

My cable and internet are out, but my DVR works.

I don't really watch TV, I more like listen to it.

I tried to listen to White Christmas while I prepare stockings for my Smart Cookies.

White Christmas was a fail. I made it to the second singing of 'the sisters.'

Now, I've moved on to the ol' school Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

I sit and make/cut Smart Cookie tags for the stockings.

At this moment, my friend in TN is on her 4th date with a guy. This is the date. Will it work? or won't it?

Another friend in NC is wrapping up teacher work days.

Another friend has flown to FL for 2 weeks of family fun with her 1 year old nephew.

And, all I can think to myself is 'I love my life.' I'm thankful my friends enjoy theirs, as well.

Moral of the Story: As I got off the phone with my friend in TN before 'the boy' was coming over, all we could share is one this is for sure. We're living!
