I'm here...somewhere...

Thought I better pop in even though my blogging mood is not great.

Christmas was wonderful. So. Much. Fun. Exactly what I imagined. The baby girl loaded up on so much great stuff. I think we now own every talking, singing, noise making toy there is - for her age anyway. I trip on them alot. I'm now on a hunt for a toy box and book shelf!

The funk that's had me distant started on Wednesday, the 28th. I talked to the hubby that morning as I always do. He mentioned news of a fatal car accident had happend near our house involving a car and a semi. Just after hanging up a news announcement said the driver of the car had been killed instantly. I just had that feeling in the pit of my stomach that this was going to be someone I knew, or directly affect someone I knew. Sadly, both of that was true. Less than an hour after hearing the news reports I got a call from a childhood fried. It was one of our childhood friends, she was gone. It was her 23rd birthday, she was killed on her birthday - she was driving home from work.

I've had a lump in my throat for days. I felt numb yesterday, standing in Target, looking for sympathy cards for her parents, brother and sister-in-law. That is hard, very hard. Tomorrow I will be attending her funeral. That will prove to be the hardest. She was a beautiful person. I will always remember her.
