The Rest Of My Going Ons....

Like I said in my last discussion, I went to see my parents on Thursday after getting my hair cut and the next thing I knew, dad said my oldest brother had called him and told him about the incident in Ft. Hood. Since hubby and I had been stationed there from 1991 - 2002, 10 years, it was quite a shock so we went to see about it on the news. Of course we were dumbfounded about it all! And since we had lived there for so many years, it really hit home. Ft. Hood has seen so many tragedies that it's almost surreal and now this!? Hubby and I have known several people that were killed from helicopter crashes to car wrecks to suicide to murder/suicide, oh the list goes on and on. If you have a heart at all, you never get used to it. My heart just aches for the families!! Oh my heart just aches! I've been in such a daze for the past few weeks and Thursdays incident didn't help a bit but I'm trying to get myself out of this "hole" because I'm so far behind in everything that needs to be done around my home that I need to get my act together and move on with life for it's sure not waiting for me! But it's hard when in a clutch like I've been in but I AM trying! On a much lighter note, I had ordered a new comforter set for our bedroom which is so needed! and got the right color and shade of paint to paint our bedroom and have started on it last night and will continue on it today. It's a pretty beige color and the comforter set has browns, beige and blues all over it. Really pretty. I bought the matching curtains too so it'll all be really nice looking once I'm finished. I'll post a picture of it once I'm finished. I ordered Christmas cards through Miles Kimble for both hubby & I and for my parents. I told mom that I'd get the addressed from the list that she gave me for her and dad's 50th wedding anniversary, print them up and send them out for her since they're already personalized. She's really happy about that although she didn't want me to do it, bla bla bla. She didn't get to send cards out last year because she was so depressed and didn't want me to get the personalized ones for her and dad but this year, I didn't bother to ask and did it anyway. I could hear the happiness in her voice over the phone so I know I did the right thing this year. Whew! wiping my brow! lol And knowing last year she was so upset because she didn't have anything to wear that was "Christmasy" I'm buying her and I matching shirts from collectionsetc in blue with sequins all over it, with santa and his reindeer flying off in the sky. It's really pretty and I just know she'll love it! Well, that's pretty much what's going on with me. So friends, what's going on with you all?
