some news...

not necessarily good...

on friday, one of my closest, dearest friends was diagnosed with breast cancer.
she's only 37 and doesn't have a history of it in her family.

it was quite a shock.

i love her with all my heart, and she's got the most inspirational attitude towards it.
she's an amazing lady and she WILL beat this.

but your thoughts and prayers can't hurt.

it's a good thing i'm not a teacher...

oh wait...
i am.

well, here's a little funny.

i'm updating and restocking my etsy shop and i'm in the midst of listing my labels when i realize something just doesn't look right...

i've always called these hexagons:

notice the problem?

i know from teaching 2nd grade geometry that a hexagon has 6 sides...not 8. duh!

it's really pretty funny when you think about it.
it's been so long now, that's how i refer to them... "octagon" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

heehee!

our holidays were great! it was really nice to spend time with everyone...
we didn't have to rush from house to house and party to party, so we really got to enjoy our visits...

i'm slowly working my way out of my funk...
i've finally realized that a lot of what i'm unhappy won't get better without ME changing a lot of things...

i'm not much for resolutions, but this year i'm trying to take them very seriously...
i'll be back to post those in a couple days...

hope your holidays were great, too!
