And for 2008?

What do I pray for?

---A new job, and soon! Early signs of brainrot have set in.

---Continued improve health for the Queen of LapBand, wifey!!

---A quiet, enjoyable 20th wedding anniversary. That means a "kid-sitter". They're not babies anymore....

---The preparation I'll need to watch my baby girl begin MIDDLE SCHOOL.

---A new job! (oh, sorry, repeat. For a moment I thought I was having to type reruns due to the writers' strike.)

---Healing for my friend, Mike.

---To finally connect to a church.

---To sleep NO days away (unless I was up partying all night the night before)

---For wisdom when I encounter new people in my life.

---That I won't lose touch with my friends from the old jobsite.

---That I don't take things for granted like health insurance, our house not burning down, a car that runs daily, and three dollars to buy six bottles of Mountain Dew.

---The ability to blog another year.

---and finally, to keep up this new amount of time spent with the kids. It won't be long until they're gone. :(

It's December......

....we officially have no health insurance (on earth, that is; reliance on God is a VERY good source of calming the frayed nerves....)

....it is "put up the Christmas tree" weekend. I stopped enjoying that years ago, I'm afraid. I don't get into Christmas until almost the last minute. But that's for another post.

....I just dreamed Tina Fey came in to use the bathroom just as I was finishing and I told her just to hang on a second without sending her out of the room. I hope there's nothing to this other than my subconscious playing out that American Express commercial where she's running around like crazy because the world is exploding around her....

AND....

....I'm dreading Christmas Eve like you wouldn't believe. 20 years ago, I would have never dreamed I would be in the position I'm currently in.

And that's for another post, too. :)
