12-7-09 well here it is December and we still haven't been back to Vegas yet. I tried to convince hubs that we HAD to go to the Elvis Cirque preview at Aria but no go, that's the time of the year when he has all double and triple time days. It's hard to tear him away from those.

Kitchen is almost done. I made the mistake of ordering our finish trim from the Home Depot and it kept coming in scuffed and nicked so we finally told the cabinet guys to just put up the last batch and we'll touch it up once it's up. We jusst want the kitchen to be finished already!

I thought I'd have all kinds of time to spend chatting with you all once the kitchen was done, but I fell at the local teriyaki resteraunt on October 16 and whacked my knees good as well as jarring my back and shoulders so am hanving fun, fun, fun running to doctors, physical therapy and chiropractors. The latest is that they think I might have a tear in my knee somewhere. After insisting they were fine and all I needed was a little physical therapy. URGH!

Thanksgiving was lovely got some quality time with my step son and he really loved all the one on one time with his dad. It's nice to see that relationship growing so nicely.
