Hello friends! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas if you celebrate! Mine was filled with family, laughter and the realization that I am utterly spoiled at Christmas-time. I am sad that Dave had to work Monday through Wednesday, but he is heading to Nebraska to hang out with me and our families very soon!
Now it’s time to grab a cup of coffee and catch up on all of my favorites as of late!

Misc. YouTube Finds:
Probably the reason I haven’t bit the bullet and made a YouTube video…I want to look perfect for the camera. YouTube commenters can be vicious. And creepy.
Some argue the fact that this is a dog, an animal that usually brings joy, but the point is to show how REAL depression is…to make it into a living thing which is how it feels when you are suffering through depression.
