WEEKLY UPDATE 12/9/2012

A baby for Prince William & Catherine! You know how important this baby is if the Duchess is hospitalized for morning sickness. Most of us peons are booted out of the hospital within hours of delivery!

Since I haven't been out much due to my auto insurance issues, I’ve been watching a lot of tv. And a lot of hallmark movies. interestingly, I have noticed that in all the movies (in addition to all the people being rich - and even if they claim to be living with no job or prospects, their homes are beautifully decorated and apparently no one in any of the towns have issues with high electric costs - gorgeous, young, white and sweet): the single parents are almost never divorced, but always the absent spouse died, it always starts to snow huge fluffy white snow on christmas morning, they can always find a parking space right in front of exactly where they're going, - church, hotel, store - even if the building they enter is crowded, the children never say “awww” when they're told that it's bedtime, and they never ever ever make mistakes. Depressing!

I underestimated how sorely I would miss MOW. Thursday morning couldn't help but think that I should be at this place now. I suppose next week will be easier, and it will just get easier and easier the more time that goes by. I didn't miss DH as much, but it was still different not to have to do that.

Saturday night Donna & I went to the Savannah Children's Theater production of My Fair Lady. It was all performed by high school teenagers. Again, we were amazed at the talent of not only the actors & actresses, but the settings, costumes, music and everything associated with the theater. (and Hannah was able to get to the church on time from her slumber party, so this reminds me of her).

Sunday was my second Sunday tour at Bonaventure Cemetery. It didn't work out as I expected, though, as no one was there for a 2:30 tour. I had ordered a pizza at Domino's to be picked up at 4 (half price if you ordered on line), and I was going to be too early for that. Instead of driving back to the condo, I went to Coach's to watch the game. Too bad I did that, because it was not pretty. But, I sincerely enjoyed watching the Bills play in less than 40 degrees and rain. Bonaventure is the only thing I'm clinging to, primarily because it's close to where I live and driving there should be something I could handle. And the people have been exceedingly kind to me.

I thought I’d add a few photos of how festive and gay the condo looks, all ready for the holidays. Of course, if you saw pictures from last year, not much has changed, but here it is:
